Physicians' Acceptable Treatment Failure Rates in Antibiotic Therapy for Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcal Catheter-Associated Bacteremia: Implications for Reducing Treatment Duration

Abstract

The quantified acceptable failure rates, when used to interpret clinical trial or cohort study results, will help select optimal antimicrobial therapy durations for this specific condition. These findings are a critical step in the development of effective shared decision-making models.
