Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary outcome measure was the proportion of patients of each group with remission of diabetic foot osteomyelitis at the end of follow-up.one year

Remission was defined as the absence of any sign of infection at the initial or a contiguous site, evaluated at least one year after the end of antibiotic treatment (ie at the end of follow-up), with neither a new infectious episode nor the need for orthopedic surgery of the foot at either of these sites during the treatment and follow-up period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
tolerance to treatment in each group of patients6 or 12 weeks

number of episodes of adverse events attributable to the antibiotic treatment recorded in each group of patients.
