Abstract
Introduction: Lactational mastitis affects a third of breastfeeding women, 11% of whom develop breast abscesses. Non-lactational mastitis affects 5-9% of women. Despite guideline recommendations, there is evidence suggesting significant variation in practice, particularly concerning antibiotic prescribing, rates of incision and drainage and length of inpatient treatment. The aim of the MAMMA study is to describe the current practice in the management of mastitis and breast abscesses in the UK and Ireland and to provide recommendations for best practice.
