Study summary

Patients may benefit from the personalized carbapenem dosing strategy based on pharmacokinetics. The objective of this study is to retrospectively review and analyze the clinical outcomes of patients with different dosing strategy.

Read the detailed description

Rational use of carbapenem is closely associated with the clinical outcome of patients with infections. Serum concentration of carbapenem varies from different populations. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical outcome of patients with infection treated by carbapenem in China, regarding diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. It is a single-center, retrospective, descriptive study. Inclusion criteria are an age ≥ 18, diagnosed as bacteria infection and serum concentration must be determined during therapy. Data concerning clinical presentation, biological samples, treatment and follow-up will be assessed. A descriptive analysis will be performed.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mortality

    30-day mortality and 90-day mortality

    Time frame: January 2018-December 2021

  2. Attainment of Target Trough Concentration

    Attainment of Target Trough Concentration

    Time frame: January 2018-December 2021

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients reach clinical response at end of treatment

    By definition, a successful clinical response means resolution of clinically significant signs and symptoms(defined as any criteria of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, body temperature over 38℃ or below 36℃, blood white cell count more than 12\*10\^9/L or less than 4\*10\^9/L, respiratory rate faster than 20 times per minute and heart rate higher than 90 beats per minute) or partial resolution of clinically significant signs and symptoms

    Time frame: January 2018-December 2021

  2. Proportion of patients reach clinical response at day 4 of treatment

    By definition, a successful clinical response means resolution of clinically significant signs and symptoms(defined as any criteria of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, body temperature over 38℃ or below 36℃, blood white cell count more than 12\*10\^9/L or less than 4\*10\^9/L, respiratory rate faster than 20 times per minute and heart rate higher than 90 beats per minute) or partial resolution of clinically significant signs and symptoms

    Time frame: January 2018-December 2021

  3. Daily Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score change

    Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (Range from 0-24), lower score means a better outcome. Increase of 2 points within 48 hours means the presence of sepsis.

    Time frame: January 2018-December 2021

  4. Incidence of Septic Shock

    Incidence of Septic Shock

    Time frame: January 2018-December 2021

  5. Safety outcome measures

    Safety outcome measures including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and other adverse events related to the antibiotic treatment of carbapenems

    Time frame: January 2018-December 2021
