Key Points

  • 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.

Abstract

The current study provides unique TTR estimates for BK. The results revealed that age, sex, aetiology, empirical treatment and Gram staining can affect TTR. In our sample, empirical treatment that includes chloramphenicol could potentially reduce TTR. These findings can be used to individualize disease management and prognosis.
