Dosing and treatment duration of suppressive antimicrobial therapy in orthopedic implant infections: a cohort study
Abstract Introduction n = 82) was not associated with failure in univariate (hazard ratio (HR) 1.23, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.53–2.83) and multivariate analyses (HR 1.24, 95 % CI 0.54–2.90). In 25 patients (23 %), SAT was stopped after a median treatment duration of 26 months. In this group, one patient (4 %) developed a relapse. Conclusions: In this study, low-dosage SAT was as effective as standard dosage SAT. Moreover, stopping SAT after 2 to 3 years may be justified in patients with a good clinical course. These findings warrant further research on optimal dosing and duration of SAT and on the durability of in vivo biofilms.
