The results of this study suggest that oral antibiotics are non-inferior to intravenous antibiotics for the management of bone and joint infection, as measured by treatment failure. Moreover, oral antibiotics are associated with a shorter length of stay and fewer complications compared to intravenous treatment. This study was limited by the open label design and potential differences in follow-on treatment. This study challenges the widely accepted standard use of intravenous antibiotics for bone/joint infection.
ملخص الدراسة
1054 patients being treated for bone or joint infection at 26 UK centers were randomized in this non-inferiority trial to receive 6 weeks of oral antibiotic therapy (n=527) or 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy (n=527). The primary outcome of interest was the rate of definite treatment failure. Secondary outcomes of interest included the rate of treatment discontinuation, catheter complications, diarrhea caused by C.difficile, serious adverse events, length of hospitalization, and patient-reported outcomes (Oxford Hip and Knee Scores [OHS; OKS]; EuroQual-5Dimension scores [EQ-5D]). Outcomes were assessed at 6 weeks, 4 months, and 1 year follow-up. Oral antibiotics were found to be non-inferior to intravenous antibiotics with regards to the risk of definitive treatment failure. The incidence of early discontinuation of treatment and catheter complications, and length of hospitalization were significantly higher in the intravenous group, however, no differences in the incidence of diarrhea or serious adverse events were observed between the two groups. EQ-5D scores and OHS scores were not significantly different between groups at 4 months and 1 year post-treatment, however, OKS scores were better in the oral group at both time points.
لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
Patients with bone and joint infection require prolonged antibiotic treatment, which is frequently delivered intravenously. However, the use of intravenous antibiotics has been associated with additional complications and higher costs vs. oral antibiotics. Therefore, it is of interest to determine whether oral antibiotics can provide an non-inferior management of bone and joint infection.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
In patients with acute or chronic bone/joint infection, is oral antibiotic therapy non-inferior to intravenous antibiotic therapy with respect to treatment success, within 1 year post-randomization?
