In a secondary analysis of data from the INSPIRE trials, an antibiotic stewardship program that included automated prompts to deliver patient-specific risk information to clinicians led to significant reductions in the use of extended-spectrum antibiotics in patients with cancer who were hospitalized with infection. The analysis extends the findings of INSPIRE to a population of patients for whom judicious antibiotic prescribing is especially important.
