Table 5 Need for further research
From: Prophylactic antibiotic regimens in tumor surgery (PARITY) survey
Strongly agree | Agree | Unsure | Disagree | Strongly disagree | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I feel there is a need for further trials to evaluate outcomes following different prophylactic antibiotic drugs | 30 (43.5%) | 28 (40.6%) | 5 (7.2%) | 3 (4.3%) | 3 (4.3%) |
I feel there is a need for further trials to evaluate outcomes following different prophylactic antibiotic regimens | 32 (46.4%) | 26 (37.7%) | 5 (7.2%) | 4 (5.8%) | 2 (2.9%) |
I feel there is a need for studies on the cost-effectiveness of different antibiotic drugs and regimens | 18 (26.1%) | 28 (40.6%) | 11 (15.9%) | 5 (7.2%) | 7 (10.1%) |
I would change my practice if a large randomized controlled trial showed clear benefit of an antibiotic drug and regimen different from what I am currently using | 51 (72.9%) | 12 (17.1%) | 3 (4.3%) | 1 (1.4%) | 3 (4.3%) |
