• The relationship between antimicrobial resistance and patient outcomes: mortality, length of hospital stay, and health care costs. (2006, neutral): “[46] found that, compared with prompt treatment, delayed treatment was an independent predictor of infection-related mortality (mortality rate, 33.”
• Duration of hypotension before initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is the critical determinant of survival in human septic shock* (2006, background): “In serious human infections, rapidity of antimicrobial therapy following presentation has been understood to be a critical determinant of outcome for specific conditions including community-acquired pneumonia (7, 9, 14, 17), ventilator-associated pneumonia (11), meningitis (10, 13), bacteremia (14, ”
• Relationship between Vancomycin MIC and Failure among Patients with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia Treated with Vancomycin (2008, background): “cells/mm), (iii) with an MRSA culture that met the CDC criteria for bloodstream infection (4), (iv) had received vancomycin therapy within 48 h of the index blood culture collection (10), and (v) had survived 24 h after vancomycin adminis-”
• Influence of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration on the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. (2008, background): “For the present study, we decided to analyze the impact of empirical antibiotic treatment on mortality, because there is a large amount of evidence to support the importance of early antibiotic administration [1, 29, 30].”
• Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Health Care Systems (2005, background): “Inappropriate or delayed empirical antimicrobial therapy has been associated with increased mortality in a number of recent studies (76, 84, 93, 95, 98, 99).”
