Abstract
Objectives: Third-generation cephalosporin resistance (3GCR) in Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infections (BSIs) challenges clinical management in China. This study aimed to develop a predictive tool to guide antibiotic stewardship.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of 459 patients with Enterobacteriaceae BSIs (185 3GCR, 274 third-generation cephalosporin-sensitive [3GCS]) from a tertiary hospital (2021-2023) was analysed. Multivariate logistic regression with backward selection identified predictors, integrated into a nomogram.
Results: Independent 3GCR predictors included advanced age ( (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.02, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.01-1.04), liver cirrhosis (OR = 2.18, 1.26-3.77), solid tumours (OR = 2.04, 1.19-3.50), prior third-generation cephalosporin use (OR = 2.44 1.47-4.08), and elevated procalcitonin (OR = 1.01, 1.01-1.02). The nomogram showed moderate discrimination (Area Under Curve (AUC) = 0.751, 95% CI: 0.67-0.83) and good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow P = 0.757).
Conclusions: This nomogram, incorporating readily available clinical variables, facilitates rapid 3GCR risk stratification. Its implementation may optimize empirical antibiotic selection, improve outcomes, and mitigate resistance escalation in Enterobacteriaceae BSIs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR) is a quarterly online journal run by an international Editorial Board that focuses on the global spread of antibiotic-resistant microbes.
JGAR is a dedicated journal for all professionals working in research, health care, the environment and animal infection control, aiming to track the resistance threat worldwide and provides a single voice devoted to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Featuring peer-reviewed and up to date research articles, reviews, short notes and hot topics JGAR covers the key topics related to antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic resistance.
