Retrospective analysis of antimicrobial use in neutropenic patients.
I plan to look back one fiscal year for patients admitted with a MS-DRG code of neutropenia in the Bone marrow transplant, and Hematology / Oncology units treated with an antimicrobial. After identifying the patient population, chart reviews will be done to review for appropriateness of antibiotic selection and duration according to IDSA guidelines.
