Fandiño LCS, Lasso AD 23/11/2022
Background: Intra-abdominal infection (IAI) results in prolonged in-hospital length-of-stay, critical care unit requirements, and multiple surgical procedures. Several antimicrobial agents are available for treatment of IAI. In Colombia, there are no data on the comparative effectiveness of the different regimens used.
Conclusions: There are no differences between the rate of therapeutic failure among the different antibiotic protocols evaluated. This outcome depends heavily on risk factors related to disease severity when surgical intervention occurs.
