Abstract

Background: the risk factors for and frequency of antibiotic prescription and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) among care home residents are unknown.Aim: to prospectively study frequency and risks for antibiotic prescribing and AAD for care home residents.Design and setting: a 12-month prospect...
