The inpatient module

Data collection for inpatient departments includes gathering detailed data for hospitalized inpatients at 8 o’clock on the day of the PPS whereby detailed data is collected for those patients receiving an antimicrobial treatment. 

Essential data to collect are:

  • the patients’ age and gender
  • antimicrobial agent
  • dose per administration
  • number of doses per day
  • route of administration

Besides antibiotics, antifungals, antimycotics, antivirals, antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis and antimalarials are also surveyed. 

Other mandatory variables include:

  • the anatomical site of infection or prophylaxis according to a list of provided reasons for treatment or prophylaxis, 
  • indication for therapy (community versus hospital acquired infection or prophylaxis) and
  • whether the treatment choice is determined by detected micro-organisms and available microbiological or biomarker data. 

For the optional HAI module, extra details on invasive devices are collected (e.g. peripheral vascular catheter, indwelling urinary catheter etc.).
