Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Patients will be offered a treatment regimen of abx based on guidelines published jointly by the Surgical Infection Society and the Infectious Disease Society of America. Any of the IV abx options (Single antibiotic-Cefoxitin, Ertapenem, Moxifloxicin, Tigecycline, Ticarcillin-Clavulanic Acid or Dual antibiotics-Metronidazole plus one of the following-Cefazolin, Cefuroxime, Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin) will be considered acceptable. After IV abx, a regimen of oral abx will be continued for a total treatment length of 10 days. | 0 | 676 | EG000 |
