Outpatient management of cancer patients with febrile neutropenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
BACKGROUND: In some centers, outpatient management for cancer patients with low-risk febrile neutropenia (FN) has been implemented into routine clinical practice. Our objective was to evaluate the current level of evidence before supporting widespread adoption of outpatient management for this population.
METHODS: We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials evaluating efficacy and safety of outpatient management of FN.
