Combination Therapy of Ceftazidime/Avibactam for the Treatment of Patients Infected with Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae : A Multicenter Retrospective Study

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the different efficacies between monotherapy and combination therapy with ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) in treating carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed observational multicenter data from 38 hospitals in China. Multivariate regression analysis was used to explore the association between combination therapy with CAZ/AVI and in-hospital mortality. Propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were performed to validate our findings.

RESULTS: A total of 132 eligible patients were divided into CAZ/AVI combination therapy (n = 43) and monotherapy (n = 89) cohorts. Multivariate logistic regression showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between combination therapy and a lower risk of in-hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR) 0.907, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.329-2.498, p = 0.850]. In the subgroup of critical patients who were in the intensive care unit (ICU) (OR 0.943, 95% CI 0.221-4.033, p = 0.937) or with sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) ≥ 3 (OR 0.733, 95% CI 0.191-2.808, p = 0.650), CAZ/AVI combination therapy was not a lower risk factor for in-hospital mortality. Moreover, in the subgroup of patients using CAZ/AVI plus tigecycline (accounting for 46.5% in the combination therapy) compared with CAZ/AVI monotherapy, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in in-hospital mortality, nor in the subgroup of patients with CRKP-associated pneumonia.

CONCLUSION: Combination therapy (or CAZ/AVI combined with tigecycline) and monotherapy with CAZ/AVI had similar prognoses in patients with only CRKP infection (or CRKP-associated pneumonia), as well as in critically ill patients. Larger randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings.
