dc.description.abstract | Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of severe bloodstream infection.We performed a systematic review to assess whether consultation
with infectious disease specialists decreased all-cause mortality or rate of complications of S aureus bloodstream infections.
The review also assessed parameters associated with the quality of management of the infection. We searched for eligible studies in
PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and clinical trials.gov as well as the references of included studies. We identified 22 observational studies
and 1 study protocol for a randomized trial. A meta-analysis was not performed because of the high risk of bias in the included
studies. The outcomes are reported in a narrative review. Most included studies reported survival benefit, in the adjusted analysis.
Recommended management strategies were carried out significantly more often among patients seen by an infectious disease
specialist. Trials, such as cluster-randomized controlled trials, can more validly assess the studies at low risk of bias. | nb_NO |
