Abstract:
Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) has become more common in infectious diseases practice settings. Similarly, OPAT-related publications have also increased. The objective of this article was to summarize clinically important OPAT-related publications from 2023. Eighty-one articles were found on initial search, with 52 meeting inclusion criteria. A survey containing the 19 articles that had at least 1 citation was sent to an email listserv of multidisciplinary clinicians with OPAT experience. This article summarizes the "top 10" 2023 OPAT articles from the survey results.
