The comparison of three regimens of polymyxin B for the treatment of central nervous system infections caused by carbapenem-resistant bacteria: A retrospective cohort study
Background
The prevalence of central nervous system infections caused by carbapenem-resistant organisms is on the rise, posing a growing threat to public health. Polymyxin is deemed as one of the “last resort” options. In this study, we analyzed the therapeutic efficacy of three dosing regimens of polymyxin B: intravenous (IV), intraventricular (IVT) or intrathecal (ITH) (denote as IVT/ITH), and IV combined with IVT or ITH (denote as combination therapy).
Methods
The retrospective study was conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. There were 53 patients in the IV group, 71 in the IVT/ITH group, and 106 in the combination group. The clinical characteristics, treatment process, and the results of relevant tests were documented.
Results
Clinical outcome (classified as clinical success, clinical relief and clinical failure), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathogen clearance rate, and 28-day all-cause mortality were the three primary evaluation criteria. Concerning the clinical outcome, the IV group was inferior to the IVT/ITH (P = 0.032) and the combination group (P = 0.008). The CSF pathogen clearance rate of the combination group was superior to that of the IV group (P = 0.001) and the IVT/ITH group (P = 0.041). The 28-day all-cause mortality was lower in the IVT/ITH group (P = 0.018) and the combination group (P = 0.004) compared to the IV group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the route of delivery of polymyxin B was associated with 28-day all-cause mortality (P = 0.001).
Conclusions
The IVT/ITH and IV combined with IVT/ITH use of polymyxin B can effectively reduce mortality and achieve better clinical outcomes, while the combination regimen performed better in eradicating CSF pathogens.
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.
