Abstract
A direct-from-source rapid musculoskeletal diagnostic panel (MDP) was validated recently. We compared clinical measures to theoretical time points had MDP results been available. The MDP would have significantly decreased the time to pathogen identification (7 hours), time to definitive antimicrobial therapy (22 hours), and hospital length of stay (26.4 hours).Entities:
