Infectious bacterial keratitis management in a Swedish region: Risk factors, treatment and time‐to‐resolution

Puntos clave

• The study aims to identify risk factors and treatment options that influence the time-to-resolution (TTR) of bacterial keratitis.
• Analyzed the impact of age, sex, aetiology, and empirical treatment on TTR.
• Assessed the role of Gram staining in disease management.
• Estimated TTR for bacterial keratitis cases in a Swedish region.
• Age, sex, aetiology, and empirical treatments were found to affect TTR.
• Empirical treatment with chloramphenicol potentially reduces TTR.
• Findings can help in customizing treatment plans for better outcomes.
