TREAT is a computerized decision support system for antibiotic treatment. In a randomized controlled trial it improved significantly the percentage of appropriate empirical antibiotic treatment and shortened hospital stay, while the usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics was reduced. The trial was not powered to show significance for the difference in 1 month mortality rate. In the present analysis we looked at 6 month survival in one of the hospitals (Beilinson Hospital) that participated in the trial.
