Abstract
Background
Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is the preferred treatment for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors of 28-day mortality and 14-day clinical failure in patients treated with CZA for CZA-susceptible CRKP bacteremia.
Methods
Patients with CZA-susceptible CRKP bacteremia who received CZA for a minimum of 5 days at our hospital from February 2020 to September 2023 were enrolled. The resistance mechanisms of the CRKP isolates were determined. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the factors associated with 28-day mortality, and logistic regression was used to study 14-day clinical failure.
Results
A total of 135 adults who received CZA for CRKP bacteremia were identified. Among the CRKP isolates, 85 (63.0 %) were KPC-2 producers and 17 (12.6 %) were OXA-48 producers. Monotherapy with CZA was identified in 98 cases (72.5 %). The 28-day mortality rate was 28.1 %, and the 14-day clinical failure rate was 41.5 %. In multivariate analysis, 28-day mortality was positively associated with older age, malignancy, and INCREMENT score ≥8. Charlson comorbidity index and the SOFA score were independent predictors of 14-day clinical failure. Among patients with SOFA score >6, malignancy was an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality, and early initiation of CZA therapy within 4 days was a protective factor against 28-day mortality.
Conclusion
Older age, malignancy, and INCREMENT score ≥8 are predictors for mortality in CZA-susceptible CRKP bacteremia treated with CZA. Early treatment with CZA is associated with survival in patients with high disease severity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
