This image presents a simplified (yes, simplified) model of what goes into choosing an antibiotic for a cellulitis infection. It comes from a paper titled "Analysis of Empiric Antimicrobial Strategies for Cellulitis in the Era of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus".
The model lays out the options, patient population of interest, outcomes, probabilities, and costs of a relatively simple therapeutic decision. In real life settings, it is unlikely that this information is actually used in prescribing.
