Azithromycin + SRP vs SRP Percentage of closed pockets · Adults with periodontitis (chronic and aggressive) · Intermediate-term (> 3 months to < 1 year) Azithromycin + SRP showed no clear difference in percentage of closed pockets compared with SRP; GRADE not reported.

Azithromycin + SRP vs SRP Percentage of closed pockets · Adults with periodontitis (chronic and aggressive) · Long-term (≥ 1 year) It is very uncertain whether azithromycin + SRP changes percentage of closed pockets compared with SRP (very low certainty). Adjunctive systemic antimicrobials for the non‐surgical treatment of periodontitis (2020) · Cochrane All outcomes | MD 2.50 [-10.19, 15.19] | 1 study · 40 participants | Very low |

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
