Measure
Oral Antibiotics
Antibiotics: The trial protocol does not specify individual antibiotics, as the trial question is one of strategy (i.e. oral vs intravenous route) rather than individual antibiotics. Within allocated strategy (i.e. oral or intravenous) antibiotics will be selected by a clinician with reference to the subject's clinical condition, microbiological data and local guidelines.
Intravenous Antibiotics
Antibiotics: The trial protocol does not specify individual antibiotics, as the trial question is one of strategy (i.e. oral vs intravenous route) rather than individual antibiotics. Within allocated strategy (i.e. oral or intravenous) antibiotics will be selected by a clinician with reference to the subject's clinical condition, microbiological data and local guidelines.
