This study sought to characterize the impact of 3 types of variation on the Standardized Antimicrobial Administration Ratio (SAAR) utilizing local National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) data. SAAR and antimicrobial days per 1,000 days present (AD/1000DP) were compiled monthly for Northwestern Memorial Hospital from 2014 to 2016.
