title: Search Strategy for Antimicrobial Stewardship Interventions to Improve Management of Bacteriuria in Hospitalized Adults

description: The notes field contains the full MEDLINE (Ovid) search strategy for antimicrobial stewardship, bacteriuria, and hospitalized patients. The search strategy uses a MEDLINE(Ovid) Method Filter suggested by Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) for EPOC reviews (Cochrane EPOC, How to develop a search strategy for an intervention review, 2019 03 13 p.7: https://zenodo.org/record/5106292#.YyvHwXbMLIU). 
The search files in this dataset contain the full search strategy for Medline (OVID), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase (Elsevier), ClinicalTrials.gov 
(via Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)) and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) (via Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)). 
The remaining files are the database downloads for the search as well as forward searching files from Scopus and the included studies reference list files from Scopus; access to all are restricted due to licensing agreements.
