Adverse Events and Healthcare Utilization Associated With Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy Among Older Versus Younger Adults.

Among older (n = 204) versus younger (n = 253) adults, there was no difference in adverse events (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.6-1.6) or healthcare utilization (incidence rate ratio = 1.09; 95% CI = 0.9-1.3) within 30 days after discontinuing outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy. Vancomycin (aOR = 1.92) and oxacillin (aOR = 3.12) were independently associated with adverse events.
