BACKGROUND: Optimizing blood culture practices requires monitoring of culture use. Collecting culture data from electronic medical records can be resource intensive. Our objective was to determine whether administrative data could serve as a data source to measure blood culture use in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).

METHODS: Using data from a national diagnostic stewardship collaborative to reduce blood culture use in PICUs, we compared the monthly number of blood cultures and patient-days collected from sites (site-derived) and the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS, administrative-derived), an administrative data warehouse, for 11 participating sites. The collaborative's reduction in blood culture use was compared using administrative-derived and site-derived data.

RESULTS: Across all sites and months, the median of the monthly relative blood culture rate (ratio of administrative- to site-derived data) was 0.96 (Q1: 0.77, Q3: 1.24). The administrative-derived data produced an estimate of blood culture reduction over time that was attenuated toward the null compared with site-derived data.

CONCLUSIONS: Administrative data on blood culture use from the PHIS database correlates unpredictably with hospital-derived PICU data. The limitations of administrative billing data should be carefully considered before use for ICU-specific data.
