Abstract
In multivariable analysis of associations between initial antibiotic therapy and clinical outcomes in 5005 patients with microbiologically confirmed Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, "discordant" empiric antibiotic therapy was not associated with 30-day mortality rate (hazard ratio, 0.94; 95% confidence interval, .67-1.32).
