Summary

A single-center, cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine the effect of Sticker reminder intervention on IV-to-PO switching of fluoquinolone.

Detailed description

A single-center, cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted across 44 general wards at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand, from July 2020 to December 2024. The study population consisted of adult patients who received at least one dose of intravenous fluoroquinolones. Wards were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the sticker reminder intervention or standard care. In the intervention group, a reminder sticker was applied to patients' vital signs sheets when predefined IV-to-oral switching criteria were met. The primary outcome was the proportion of intravenous-to-oral fluoroquinolone switching in the intention-to-treat (ITT) and modified intention-to-treat (mITT) populations.
