“…Delays in antibiotic administration were not associated with prolonged hospital stays in the current study. While the impact of time to antibiotics on NF outcome has been evaluated in a few large studies, conclusions are inconsistent due to large variations in sample populations . Regardless of such discrepancies, the importance of prompt antibiotic administration for optimal management of NF is uncontested among guidelines.…”
This is the first study of this type in patients with cancer at an Australian regional cancer centre. The study highlighted key areas for improvement in antibiotic prescription and control of antibiotic resistance at our institution.
