This study is an economic analysis seeking to examine cost savings that may be accrued from usage of oral linezolid in place of OPAT IV daptomycin in patients requiring prolonged courses of IV or highly bioavailable oral antibiotic therapy. In order to do so we conducted a literature review to establish the scenarios in which the agents could be considered equivalent. We then, using a decision-tree model, conducted a cost analysis to establish differences in cost between the approaches.
