Increasing the diversity of antimicrobial treatments through the introduction of an additional antimicrobial, in this instance ceftazidime-avibactam, was associated with substantial clinical and economic benefits, when considering broader population-level value. Despite revealing considerable benefits, the value of ceftazidime-avibactam is only partially reflected in this analysis. Further efforts are required to fully operationalise the spectrum, transmission, enablement, diversity and insurance (STEDI) value framework and accurately reflect the population-level value of antimicrobials.
