Abstract [sv]

Introduktion: Osteomyelit är en infektion som omfattar samtliga lager i ben, och där en omfattande nekros kan förekomma. Det innebär ofta en smärtsam, lång och dyr behandling. Under behandlingsprocessen används vanligtvis en kombination av kirurgisk teknik och en antimikrobiell behandling. I den antimikrobiella behandlingen har lokal antibiotika presenterats som ett tillägg till systemiskt antibiotika som hypotetiskt kan innebära fördelar gällande benpenetration, kostnad, risk för systemiska bieffekter och antibiotika-resistans. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att bedöma effekten av lokal antibiotika i kombination med systemisk antibiotika, jämfört med enbart systemisk antibiotika, i behandlingen av osteomyelit. Metod: En systematisk litteratursökning gjordes i databaserna PubMed och Web of Science. En fri sökning gjordes och av de erhållna 2293 artiklarna, sammanställdes två relevanta artiklar. Dessa artiklar bedömdes avseende kvalité och relevans i enlighet med GRADE-systemet. Resultat: De två erhållna artiklarna bedömdes som relevanta och hade hög kvalité. Studierna angav avsaknaden av reinfektion som ett kriterium för utfall. Avsaknad av reinfektion efter behandling sträckte sig mellan 86,3%-95,6% för patienter behandlade med lokal antibiotika i kombination med systemisk antibiotika jämfört med 82,0%-92,6% för patienter som fick behandling med enbart systemiskt antibiotika. Detta bedömdes kliniskt, laborativt och radiografiskt. Konklusion: Fler jämförande studier behövs för att fastställa effekten av lokal antibiotika i kombination med systemisk antibiotika i behandlingen av osteomyelit.

Abstract [en]

Introduction: Osteomyelitis is an infection involving all layers of bone in which widespread necrosis may occur. It often requires a painful, prolonged and expensive treatment process usually including a surgical and an antimicrobial approach. In the antimicrobial approach, local antibiotics has been introduced as a treatment option that could implicate benefits regarding bone penetration, economical expenses, the risk of systemic side-effects and the risk for antibiotic resistance during the treatment process. The aim of this literature review is to evaluate the effect of local antibiotics and systemic antibiotics compared with only systemic antibiotics in the treatment of osteomyelitis. Method: A systematic literature search is performed using the databases of PubMed and Web of Science. Free searches was made and of the total 2293 articles found, two relevant articles were retrieved and evaluated with regard to the quality and relevance of the articles according to the GRADE system. Results: The two retrieved articles were evaluated with “high quality” and as “relevant”. The studies measured the treatment outcome as the absence of reinfection. The absence of reinfection was spread between 86,3%-95,6% in patients treated with local antibiotics in addition to systemic antibiotics compared with 82,0%-92,6% in the group with only systemic antibiotics. This was clinically, laboratory and radiographically measured. Conclusion: More comparative studies are required to determine the effect of local antibiotics in addition to systemic antibiotics in the treatment of osteomyelitis.
