Does sac surgery result as a function of preoperative distress level?
We recommend continued use of ESD in indicated patients. We found a positive relation between preoperative distress level of the patient and postoperative improvement in FLSs; any such relationship should be investigated with a larger sample.
In-house guidelines for the empiric antiinfective therapy appear to be suitable to influence the prescribing behavior and the selection pressure on individual pathogen groups. The total volume of antibiotic prescriptions was not affected in this study.
