Comparative Effectiveness of Azithromycin Versus Doxycycline in Hospitalized Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia Treated With Beta-Lactams: A Multicenter Matched Cohort Study
Among hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia, azithromycin was associated with a lower mortality and more hospital free days compared to doxycycline in combination with beta-lactams. Randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the effectiveness of each regimen and to compare their potential side effects.
