Development of a New Critical Pathway for Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI)

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a new critical pathway (use of guideline-based patient identification criteria and for those who meet these criteria, use of dalbavancin) compared to usual care for the treatment of ABSSI (Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections)

    The SF-12 yields a physical and a mental health component summary score (referred to as physical component summary score [PCS] and mental component summary score [MCS]). The PCS and MCS follow a t-score distribution, i.e. mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 in the general US population, meaning all scores above or below 50 are above and below the average, respectively, in the US general population.
