Table 5. Mismatched therapies in true prescriptions (left columns) and prescriptions selected by the AI (center and right columns for strategy 1 and 2, respectively).

In these two strategies, the episodes most likely to report resistance to an antimicrobial agent are assumed to be left untreated (thus lowering the total exposure to the drug) or treated with a different drug. For all drugs considered, the percentage of mismatches is significantly lower with these two strategies than in true prescriptions. Mism. = mismatched.
