Efficacy at Test of Cure: Cellulitis vs Abscess
Evaluable Population Clindamycin TMP/SMX
Cellulitis
Cure rate 110/121 (90.9%) 110/127 (86.6%) ∆ Clinda – TMP/SMX (95% CI) 4.3% (-4.6% – 13.1%)
Abscess
Cure rate (%) 63/73 (86.3%) 64/72 (88.9%) ∆ Clinda – TMP/SMX (95% CI)
Logistic Regression Model: Treatment effect: p = 0.87 Disease group: p = 0.81 Interaction: p = 0.36
Other Outcomes
Cellulitis, Larger Abscess > 5 cm, Mixed, Multiple
- Cures rates similar for children and adults
- MRSA and MSSA cure rates similar
