AJ Walkey, RS Wiener - Chest, 2012 - Elsevier
Background Animal models suggest that immunomodulatory properties of macrolide
antibiotics have therapeutic value for patients with acute lung injury (ALI). We investigated
the association between receipt of macrolide antibiotics and clinical outcomes in patients
with ALI. Methods Secondary analysis of multicenter, randomized controlled trial data from
the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network Lisofylline and Respiratory Management
of Acute Lung Injury Trial, which collected detailed data regarding antibiotic use among …
