Psoas abscess management: A multimodal approach to treatment modalities, predictors of clinical outcomes and a novel treatment algorithm"
This study highlights the limitations of conservative management for PMA, particularly in patients with negative cultures, immunosuppression, or CKD ≥3. The findings support early image-guided drainage or surgical intervention in high-risk cases. A novel treatment algorithm is proposed to enhance clinical decision-making and improve outcomes.
