“…Our patients often had anatomical abnormalities with urinary devices present, likely predisposing them to recurrent and possibly multidrug-resistant infections. Interestingly, fewer of our patients experienced MDRO or MRSA infections than reported by other groups [35]. The reasons for choosing OPAT in our patients should be explored further.…”

“…The reported level of patient satisfaction was high (87.5 % rate of recommendation) and the reported quality of life was also good. A Belgian and a Swiss working group reported similar data [25,26]. As far as the authors are aware, no comparable work with regards to conditions in Germany was previously carried out [27].…”

“…Es wurde eine hohe Patientenzufriedenheit (87,5 % Empfehlungsrate) mit deutlich erhöhter Lebensqualität ermittelt. Eine belgische und eine Schweizer Arbeitsgruppe ermittelten ähnliche Daten [25,26]. Für Deutschland liegt nach Wissen der Autoren keine vergleichbare Arbeit in Hinblick auf PJI vor [27].…”

“…Our data points to increased readmissions in patients with T2DM, which is possibly related to impaired immunity in patients with T2DM leading to poorer outcomes from infectious diseases [ 16 ]. A Belgian pilot study that examined clinical characteristics and outcomes of OPAT in 218 patients similarly found that DM was associated with a higher risk of readmission while on OPAT [ 17 ]. It would be of interest to further examine the link between glycaemic control in T2DM patients and OPAT outcomes, using specific indices such as HbA1C levels.…”
