117. Adjunctive Daptomycin in the Treatment of <i>staphylococcus Aureus</i> Bacteremia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The objective of our study was to determine whether daptomycin given in combination with an anti-staphylococcal beta-lactam improved outcomes in MSSA BSI. Methods A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed at two academic hospitals in Montreal, Canada. Patients ≥ 18 years of age with MSSA BSI receiving either cefazolin or cloxacillin monotherapy were considered for inclusion. In addition to the standard of care treatment, participants received a 5-day course of adjunctive daptomycin or placebo. The primary outcome was the duration of MSSA BSI in days. Results Of 318 participants screened, 115 were enrolled and 104 were included in the intention to treat analysis (median age 67 years; 34.5% female). The median duration of bacteremia was 2.04 days among patients who received daptomycin versus 1.65 days in those who received placebo (absolute difference 0.39 days, p=0.40). A modified intention to treat analysis involving participants who remained bacteremic at the time of enrollment found a median duration of bacteremia of 3.06 days among patients who received daptomycin versus 3.0 days in those who received placebo (absolute difference 0.06 days, p=0.77). Ninety-day mortality in the daptomycin arm was 18.9% vs. 17.7% in the placebo arm (p=1.0). There were no significant differences in the proportion of patients who developed renal failure, hepatotoxicity, or rhabdomyolysis between groups. Conclusion Among patients with MSSA BSI, the administration of adjunctive daptomycin therapy to standard of care treatment did not shorten the duration of bacteremia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
