Evaluating hypoalbuminaemia thresholds associated with delayed blood sterilization among patients receiving cefazolin or antistaphylococcal penicillins for MSSA bacteraemia
In the largest study to evaluate the impact of hypoalbuminaemia on the outcomes of patients with MSSA bacteraemia, we identified a cut-off value of albumin ≤3 g/dL to be associated with an increased risk for a delayed blood culture sterilization.
