Abstract
This systematic review investigates effective Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) strategies in acute care settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. It assesses how the pandemic accelerated Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and influenced 'just in case' prescribing practices. Conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines and covering literature from 2007 to March 2021, the review aims to identify innovative and measurable strategies that enhanced AMS during COVID-19. This research is crucial for understanding AMS implementation during pandemic conditions and offers valuable lessons for future healthcare crises.
