Save hospitals time and money8 Feb 2019 16:01
Motif Bio believes iclaprim can save hospitals, and patients, money by reducing the amount of after-care required for patients who develop kidney complications as a result of taking vancomycin.
At the moment, just over 9% of hospitalised ABSSSI patients treated with vancomycin suffer from vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury, which extends hospital length-of-stay by five days.
Generally, those patients require a specialist nephrology physician consultation and acute dialysis, which can be costly.
