A recent large multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) found that continuous infusion (CI) of meropenem did not improve clinical outcomes in critically ill patients, contradicting previous meta-analysis results.
We conducted a search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases up to March 19, 2024.
Our study included a total of 1,075 critically ill patients with sepsis from five RCTs. The primary outcome indicated that CI of meropenem did not reduce all-cause mortality in patients (RR = 0.89; 95% CI, 0.75-1.04; = 0.15; Chi= 5.75; = 30%). The secondary outcomes revealed that compared to II of meropenem, patients receiving CI had shorter ICU length of stay (MD = -2.39; 95% CI, -2.98 to -1.81; < 0.00001; Chi= 6.63; = 40%), higher clinical cure rates (RR = 1.88; 95% CI, 1.23-2.87; = 0.004; Chi = 1.87; = 0%), and shorter duration of meropenem therapy (MD = -0.86; 95% CI, -1.36 to -0.36; = 0.0008; Chi = 3.65; = 45%).
In critically ill patients with sepsis, CI of meropenem did not reduce mortality but was associated with shorter ICU length of stays, higher clinical cure rates, and shorter duration of meropenem therapy. Further large-scale RCTs are needed to validate these findings.

最近一项大型多中心随机对照试验(RCT)发现,美罗培南持续输注(CI)并未改善重症患者的临床结局,这与之前的荟萃分析结果相矛盾。
我们检索了截至2024年3月19日的PubMed、EMBASE和Cochrane数据库。
我们的研究共纳入了来自五项随机对照试验的1075例重症脓毒症患者。主要结局表明,美罗培南持续输注并未降低患者的全因死亡率(风险比=0.89;95%置信区间,0.75-1.04;P=0.15;卡方=5.75;自由度=30%)。次要结局显示,与美罗培南间歇输注相比,接受持续输注的患者重症监护病房(ICU)住院时间更短(平均差=-2.39;95%置信区间,-2.98至-1.81;P<0.00001;卡方=6.63;自由度=40%),临床治愈率更高(风险比=1.88;95%置信区间,1.23-2.87;P=0.004;卡方=1.87;自由度=0%),美罗培南治疗疗程更短(平均差=-0.86;95%置信区间,-1.36至-0.36;P=0.0008;卡方=3.65;自由度=45%)。
在重症脓毒症患者中,美罗培南持续输注并未降低死亡率,但与更短的ICU住院时间、更高的临床治愈率以及更短的美罗培南治疗疗程相关。需要进一步开展大规模随机对照试验来验证这些发现。
