LORENTE-FURIO, O et al. Effectiveness and efficiency of dalbavancin in real clinical practice use. Rev. OFIL·ILAPHAR [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.2, pp.149-153.  Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 1699-714X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1699-714x2023000200009.

Objectives:

The treatment of Gram-positive infections it's a medical challenge, in a context in which antibiotic resistances are increasing. Dalbavancin, due to its long half-life and high activity against Gram-positive bacteria, could be a good therapeutic option. Our objectives are to know the uses, effectiveness and efficiency of dalbavancin in patients of the General University Hospital of Valencia.

Methods:

A retrospective descriptive study and a cost analysis of patients treated with dalbavancin are carried out at the General University Hospital of Valencia.

Results:

15 patients (with 17 episodes of infection) were included, with a mean Charlson index of 3.7. Were treated 4 skin and soft tissue infections, 6 osteoarticular infections and 7 intravascular infections. A Gram-positive bacteria was isolated in 70.6% of the patients. The cure rate was 59%, with no adverse effects due to dalbavancin or death in relation to infection. 239 days of hospitalization were saved with outpatient treatment, which means a saving of € 6,556.02 per patient.

Conclusions:

Clinical series like ours allow us to analyse the role of dalbavancin in routine medical practice and demonstrate its important function in saving economic resources.
