Abstract: Objective To summarize research findings related to effect evaluation of antimicrobial management policies at home and abroad in order to provide reference for the formulation of better policies on antimicrobial management and for related research. Methods Related databases were searched for literature and documents on the implementation of antimicrobial management policies that were published between January 2011 and February 2020. Results A total of 155 studies were finally collected, including 96 papers in Chinese and 59 ones in English. The evaluation system was far from full-fledged in China, research was mainly conducted in a single center, the sample representation was poor, and in-depth analysis of the influencing factors of policy interventions was scarce. Conclusion It is suggested that the evaluation system of antimicrobial policies and interventions should be further improved, and that multi-centered collaborative research be carried out at home based on nationwide antimicrobial use and bacterial resistance monitoring networks. Factors that can influence policy interventions need to be studied in order to find out what factors are positive or negative.
