  • Title: National guidelines for the use of antibiotics in hospitalised adult patients: the SWAB guidelines revisited.
    Author: Prins JM, Kullberg BJ, Gyssens IC.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 2005 Sep; 63(8):288-90. PubMed ID: 16186637.
    Abstract:
    Since 1996, the Dutch Working Party on Antibiotic Policy (Stichting Werkgroep AntibioticaBeleid, SWAB) has been developing national guidelines for the use of antibiotics in hospitalised adult patients. As a result of both an inventory of the wishes of the users of these guidelines and the recently developed criteria for evidence-based guideline development, we have revised our format for the development of SWAB guidelines. By involving the members of the relevant professional societies and giving them the opportunity to comment on the guidelines at an early stage, we are aiming for a successful implementation of the guidelines in the hospitals.
