Temporal trends and hospital variation in time-to-antibiotics among veterans hospitalized with sepsis.
It is unclear whether antimicrobial timing for sepsis has changed outside of performance incentive initiatives. The purpose of this study was to examine temporal trends and variation in time-to-antibiotics for sepsis in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system. The investigators concluded that this cohort study found that time-to-antibiotics for sepsis has declined over time. However, there remained significant variability in time-to-antibiotics not explained by patient characteristics, suggesting potential unwarranted practice variation in sepsis treatment.
