Abstract

Abstract The OVIVA study demonstrated noninferiority for managing bone and joint infections (BJIs) with oral antibiotics. We report that 79.7% of OPAT patients being treated for BJIs at our center would be eligible for oral antibiotics, saving a median (IQR) 19.5 IV-antibiotic days (8.5–37) and GBP 1234 (569–2594) per patient.
