Boxplot of unadjusted average monthly rates of antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors and their co-administration. Rates of co-administration (left panel), antibiotics (middle) and proton pump inhibitors (right) during the baseline, computer alert and antibiotic stewardship program time periods are shown. Rates are calculated as days of therapy (DOT) per 100 inpatient days whereby one DOT represents the administration of a single medication on a given day irrespective of dosing frequency or strength. The vertical lines on either side of the point estimate encapsulate the threshold beyond which data points are considered outliers (represented by dots). PPI = proton pump inhibitor
