We retrospectively evaluated antimicrobial therapy in 145 randomly selected patients with osteoarticular infections across 8 hospitals. One hundred nine (75%) were eligible for oral antimicrobial therapy, but only 18 received it: 5 of 39 (13%) in 2018 versus 13 of 70 (19%) in 2019-2020 ( = .44). Oral antimicrobials may be underutilized for osteoarticular infections in routine practice.
我们回顾性评估了8家医院145例随机选取的骨关节炎感染患者的抗菌治疗情况。109例(75%)符合口服抗菌治疗条件,但只有18例接受了该治疗:2018年39例中有5例(13%),而2019 - 2020年70例中有13例(19%)(P = 0.44)。在常规实践中,口服抗菌药物在骨关节炎感染治疗中可能未得到充分利用。
