Abstract:
An 8-year prospective cohort study of pelvic osteomyelitis in patients living with spinal cord injury shows that 4- to 6-week, post-debridement, quinolone-sparing oral antimicrobial regimens were effective within multidisciplinary care. Clinical cure (89% at 12 months) remained high with shorter durations. These real-world findings support stewardship and inform prescribing and future trials.
