Clinical study on the impact of preoperative antibiotic administration timing on pus culture results in children with acute osteomyelitis by Haiting Jia, Yuting Wang, Jiazhi Yu, Tao Liu

“…The optimal cutoff of the preoperative antibiotic administration timing was 3.5 days, and the sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve were 70.6%, 61.4% and 0.704 (0.569–0.839), respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative antibiotic administration timing > 3.5 days (OR = 3.822, 95%CI: 1.212–12.058) was an independent risk factor for predicting negative culture of standard bacteria (P = 0.022). …”
