“…In Chile, clinical outcomes and OPAT-related costs were analysed in a prospective cohort of 111 children with urinary tract infections and compared with those observed for a group of 81 hospitalised children. OPAT was equally effective, safer and significantly less expensive than inpatient care [13]. In Mexico, outpatient ertapenem therapy was studied in an ESBL-high-prevalence area and the treatment course was found to be effective, safe and cost-saving when compared to inpatient care [14].…”

“…The OPAT treatment proved to be equivalent to in-hospital care, also showing that the prevalence of adverse events was higher in the inpatient regime group. The treatment mean direct cost was four times higher among the hospitalized patients, mainly due to the bed daily cost, indicating that home therapy would be an economically viable alternative for treatment 14 .…”

“…Adicionalmente, se ha descrito que, en pacientes con infecciones resistentes al manejo antibiótico, que el costo atribuido a las complicaciones por paciente fue de $18 588 a $29 069 USD (7). En Colombia, dado el número limitado de camas en unidades de cuidados especiales, los costos que se manejan por día de hospitalización pediátrica superan el valor de dos salarios mínimos legales vigentes (8). Las infecciones por gérmenes multirresistentes (Incluidas las bacterias gram negativas productoras de BLEE) ocasionan mayor ocupación, prolongan el tiempo de estancia y generan menor oportunidad de girocama, lo que conlleva a aumentos desmedidos en costos de atención (Incrementan hasta un 1/5 el costo directo total y los costos son 3.3 veces superiores), poniendo en riesgo la sostenibilidad del sistema de salud (8).…”
