Table 1. PICOS strategy for data extraction of novel glycopeptides.
PICOS | Clinical Review |
---|---|
Participants | Adult patients (18 years and older) of any gender with any confirmed or suspected bacterial infections caused by gram-positive cocci including MRSA. |
Intervention | Any novel glycopeptides used in the management of gram-positive bacterial infections will be considered eligible. The antibiotics include: Telavancin, dalbavancin and oritavancin. |
Comparator | Vancomycin |
Outcome | Clinical treatment success (resolution of clinical signs and symptoms of infections), microbiological treatment success (eradication of bacteria), adverse events, serious adverse events, discontinuation due to adverse events and mortality. |
Study design | Randomized controlled trials. |
Abbreviation: MRSA: Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus.
