The incidences of nosocomial pneumonia in intensive care units (ICUs) in India have been reported to range from 9% to 58% and are associated with a mortality rate of 30-70%. Ceftazidime-avibactam has activity against OXA-48-like carbapenem-resistant (CRE) and has a safer adverse effect profile as compared to the nephrotoxic colistin. The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness and usage pattern of ceftazidime-avibactam in gram-negative hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in real-world settings in India.
Electronic medical records of hospitalized patients in three prominent medical centers in India (Fortis Memorial Research Centre, Gurugram, S L Raheja Hospital, Mumbai, and Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata) with nosocomial pneumonia and documented gram-negative (KP)confirmed infection were collected. This study assessed the effectiveness, usage pattern of ceftazidime-avibactam, and clinical and microbiological cure rates.
Among the 116 patients included, 78.45% (91/116) showed clinical cure. Microbiological cure was observed in nine out of 13 (69.23%) patients. In the subset analysis, a clinical cure rate of 84.85% (28/33) and microbiological recovery rate of 62.50% (5/8) were observed when ceftazidime-avibactam was initiated within 72 hours of diagnosis. Ceftazidime-avibactam was administered for a mean (±SD) duration of 7.79 ± 4.43 days, with improvement in signs and symptoms reported among 91.38% (106/116). Ceftazidime-avibactam showed a susceptibility of 56% (28/56) in the study.
The current study showed a better clinical and microbiological cure rate with a safer tolerability profile of ceftazidime-avibactam in carbapenem-resistant KP nosocomial pneumonia and VAP. This study has further demonstrated that ceftazidime-avibactam may be used as one of the viable treatment choices in carbapenem-resistant KP with favorable clinical outcomes.
据报道,印度重症监护病房(ICU)医院获得性肺炎的发病率在9%至58%之间,死亡率为30%-70%。头孢他啶-阿维巴坦对OXA-48样耐碳青霉烯肠杆菌科细菌(CRE)有活性,与具有肾毒性的黏菌素相比,其不良反应谱更安全。本研究旨在评估头孢他啶-阿维巴坦在印度实际临床环境中治疗革兰氏阴性医院获得性肺炎(HAP)和呼吸机相关性肺炎(VAP)的有效性及使用模式。
收集了印度三个著名医疗中心(古尔冈的富通纪念研究中心、孟买的SL拉贾医院和加尔各答的阿南德布尔富通医院)住院的医院获得性肺炎患者且有革兰氏阴性(肺炎克雷伯菌)确诊感染的电子病历。本研究评估了头孢他啶-阿维巴坦的有效性、使用模式以及临床和微生物学治愈率。
在纳入的116例患者中,78.45%(91/116)显示临床治愈。13例患者中有9例(69.23%)观察到微生物学治愈。在亚组分析中,在诊断后72小时内开始使用头孢他啶-阿维巴坦时,临床治愈率为84.85%(28/33),微生物学恢复率为62.50%(5/8)。头孢他啶-阿维巴坦的平均(±标准差)给药持续时间为7.79±4.43天,91.38%(106/116)的患者报告症状和体征有所改善。在该研究中,头孢他啶-阿维巴坦的敏感性为56%(28/56)。
本研究表明,在耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌医院获得性肺炎和VAP中,头孢他啶-阿维巴坦具有更好的临床和微生物学治愈率,耐受性更安全。本研究进一步证明,头孢他啶-阿维巴坦可作为耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌感染的可行治疗选择之一,具有良好的临床效果。
