Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is a global public health threat. Most countries carry out strategies to overcome the increase in antimicrobial resistance,with ^Antimicrobial Stewardship Program^. Since the late 1980s, technological tools have changed the way humans interact in their environment. Information technology is widely used in the health sector
The main objective of this study is to determine publication trends focused on the use of information technology in antimicrobial stewardship for the last 10 years
The method used is bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer version 1.6.18 and R-Studio. The study was conducted in October 2022 by searching through the Scopus database in 2013-2022.
The result showed that there were 48 published documents from 2013 to 2022 that conducted studies on the use of information technology in the antimicrobial stewardship according to inclusion criteria (focus on developing or using applications and studies conducted in health care settings). The number of publications has increased related to the theme of the use of information technology in antimicrobial stewardship. The United states is the country that contributes the most research related to the use of information technology in antimicrobial stewardship. The presented bibliometric analysis provides relevant information about the themes of the main use of information technology in the antimicrobial stewardship. All these findings are discussed in the manuscript and conclusions are drawn.
This study is useful in the health sector, namely the development of information technology in the antimicrobial stewardship
