To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ertapenem in patients hospitalized at home.
PATIENTS & METHODS: Retrospective analysis of data from Spanish Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) registry.
Data from 1428 patients (median age 70 years; 5.4% institutionalized) and 1547 infectious processes (24% self-administration) were analyzed. Clinical cure or improvement was achieved in 93.8% of cases. Rate of related readmissions was 4.2%, of clinically important complications -3.9%, and of adverse drug reactions -3.2%. High comorbidity burden, contagion in nursing home and certain types of infection were associated with worse prognosis. Self-administration was effective and safe, except in case of nursing home-acquired infections.
Ertapenem OPAT was effective and safe. Caregivers in nursing homes should be better trained in OPAT-related procedures.
评估家庭住院患者使用厄他培南的疗效和安全性。
回顾性分析西班牙门诊肠外抗菌治疗(OPAT)登记处的数据。
共分析了 1428 例患者(中位年龄 70 岁;5.4%为机构内患者)和 1547 例感染性疾病(24%为自行给药)。93.8%的患者临床治愈或好转。相关再入院率为 4.2%,临床重要并发症发生率为 3.9%,药物不良反应发生率为 3.2%。高合并症负担、疗养院感染和某些类型的感染与预后不良相关。除疗养院获得性感染外,自行给药是有效且安全的。
厄他培南 OPAT 是有效且安全的。疗养院的护理人员应接受更多与 OPAT 相关程序的培训。
