Ceftazidime-Avibactam in the treatment of patients with bacteremia or nosocomial pneumonia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction: Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is a combination of the third-generation cephalosporin ceftazidime and the novel, non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor avibactam that is approved for the treatment of pediatric (≥ 3 months) and adult patients with complicated infections including hospital-...

| Sumario: | Introduction: Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is a combination of the third-generation cephalosporin ceftazidime and the novel, non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor avibactam that is approved for the treatment of pediatric (≥ 3 months) and adult patients with complicated infections including hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP/VAP), and bacteremia. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration: CRD42022362856) aimed to provide a quantitative and qualitative synthesis to evaluate the effectiveness of CAZ-AVI in treating adult patients with bacteremia or nosocomial pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (non metallo-β-lactamase-producing strains) and multi-drug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. Methods: The databases included in the search, until November 7, 2022, were Embase and PubMed. A total of 24 studies (retrospective: 22, prospective: 2) with separate outcomes for patients with bacteremia or pneumonia were included. Results: The outcomes assessed were all-cause mortality, clinical cure, and microbiological cure. Qualitative (24 studies) and quantitative (8/24 studies) syntheses were performed. The quality of the studies was assessed using the MINORS checklist and the overall risk of bias was moderate to high. Conclusions: In studies included in the meta-analysis, lower all-cause mortality for patients with bacteremia (OR = 0.30, 95% CI 0.19-0.46) and improved rates of clinical cure for patients with bacteremia (OR = 4.90, 95% CI 2.60-9.23) and nosocomial pneumonia (OR = 3.20, 95% CI 1.55-6.60) was observed in the CAZ-AVI group compared with the comparator group. Data provided here may be considered while using CAZ-AVI for the treatment of patients with difficult-to-treat infections. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42022362856. |
