| description | Ann Versporten and colleagues (June, 2018)1 report the findings from the 2015 Global Point Prevalence Survey (Global-PPS) — a simple approach to assess antimicrobial prescribing and resistance in patients in hospitals across regions and countries worldwide. However, their grouping of the data by UN regions and subregions is problematic, because some countries were seriously under-represented, especially some low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This under-representation potentially masked important shortcomings and differences between countries within (sub)regions. |
