PCORnet Antibiotics Study, Prescribing Rate and Breakdown of Antibiotic Spectrum by Network Partner
This figure presents the percent of children who receive an antibiotic prescription before 24 months of age overall for the cohort and by Network Partner for those contributing at least 5,000 children to the cohort (A) and the percent of children receiving any narrow and broad spectrum antibiotic before 24 months of age overall and by Network Partner (B). The denominator for A includes all children in the cohort; for B, it includes all children who received at least one antibiotic prescription before 24 months of age. Among the 23 Network Partners presented, 16 had antibiotic prescribing rates of greater than 50% and had higher narrow spectrum antibiotic prescribing rates than broad.
