Did We STOP-IT? a Population-Based Interrupted Time Series Analysis of Antimicrobial Duration for Intra-abdominal Infections Before and after the Publication of a Landmark Randomized Controlled Trial

We aimed to quantify the effect of this trial on antimicrobial prescribing for CIAI in Calgary, Alberta.
