There are limited comparative studies of ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) vs. polymyxin B (PMB) for carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO) infections. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of CAZ/AVI and PMB in treating CRO infections.
This single-centre, retrospective cohort study with propensity score-matching (PSM) involved adult patients with CRO infections. Patients who received the CAZ/AVI-based regimen were included in the cohort group; those prescribed with the PMB-based regimen were included in the control group. The primary outcome was 28-day all-cause mortality.
Among 298 eligible patients, 96 patients in each group were included in the PSM cohort. The CAZ/AVI group showed no improvement in 28-day or 14-day all-cause mortality, nor in 14-day clinical response, compared to the PMB group. However, the CAZ/AVI-based regimen was associated with higher 14-day clinical response rates than the PMB-based regimen in subgroups with carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) infections and monotherapy. The CAZ/AVI group achieved greater CRO eradication than the PMB group (crude odds ratio [OR], 1.658; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.108-2.480; P = 0.014; adjusted OR, 1.718; 95% CI, 1.055-2.798; P = 0.030). This advantage in CRO eradication with CAZ/AVI was consistent in most subgroups, including septic shock, bloodstream infection and lower respiratory tract infection. The CAZ/AVI and PMB groups had comparable nephrotoxicity (crude OR, 0.577; 95% CI, 0.306-1.089; P = 0.090; adjusted OR, 0.741; 95% CI, 0.361-1.521; P = 0.414).
CAZ/AVI-based and PMB-based regimens demonstrated similar clinical efficacy and nephrotoxicity in treating CRO infections. However, CAZ/AVI was superior to PMB in CRO eradication and treating CRPA infections. CAZ/AVI monotherapy was more effective than PMB monotherapy for CRO infections.

针对碳青霉烯类耐药菌(CRO)感染,头孢他啶/阿维巴坦(CAZ/AVI)与多粘菌素B(PMB)的比较研究有限。本研究旨在比较CAZ/AVI和PMB治疗CRO感染的疗效和安全性。
本单中心、倾向评分匹配(PSM)的回顾性队列研究纳入了患有CRO感染的成年患者。接受基于CAZ/AVI方案治疗的患者纳入队列组;接受基于PMB方案治疗的患者纳入对照组。主要结局为28天全因死亡率。
在298例符合条件的患者中,每组96例患者被纳入PSM队列。与PMB组相比,CAZ/AVI组在28天或14天全因死亡率以及14天临床反应方面均无改善。然而,在碳青霉烯类耐药铜绿假单胞菌(CRPA)感染和单药治疗的亚组中,基于CAZ/AVI的方案比基于PMB的方案具有更高的14天临床反应率。CAZ/AVI组在根除CRO方面比PMB组更有效(粗比值比[OR],1.658;95%置信区间[CI],1.108 - 2.480;P = 0.014;调整后OR,1.718;95% CI,1.055 - 2.798;P = 0.030)。CAZ/AVI在根除CRO方面的这一优势在大多数亚组中是一致的,包括感染性休克、血流感染和下呼吸道感染。CAZ/AVI组和PMB组的肾毒性相当(粗OR,0.577;95% CI,0.306 - 1.089;P = 0.090;调整后OR,0.741;95% CI,0.
