In community hospitals, antimicrobial stewardship team notification of rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) results may not be feasible. A retrospective quasi-experimental study was conducted evaluating 252 adult inpatients with blood cultures positive for Gram-positive cocci in clusters (pre-RDT, = 143; post-RDT, = 109). The median time to appropriate therapy was significantly shorter in the post-RDT group (15 versus 0 h, < 0.001), and the mean length of stay for patients with coagulase-negative staphylococcus was significantly shorter (10.5 versus 7.7 days; = 0.015).
在社区医院,抗菌药物管理团队可能无法获知快速诊断检测(RDT)的结果。本回顾性准实验研究纳入了 252 例血培养阳性的成人住院患者,革兰阳性球菌呈簇状生长(RDT 前,n=143;RDT 后,n=109)。RDT 后组患者获得恰当治疗的中位时间显著缩短(15 小时 vs. 0 小时,<0.001),凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌患者的平均住院时间也显著缩短(10.5 天 vs. 7.7 天;=0.015)。
