Open Forum Infectious Diseases に報告された MSSA菌血症に対するCEZ vs CTRX
感想
- CEZ勝ち。
- 前向き検討を期待。
- 14日以上投与していた患者を対象としているのは、いいかも。
note
- レトロ
- 治療失敗率
- Winans et al. showed similar favorable clinical outcomes for cefazolin and ceftriaxone in 122 patients treated for various types of MSSA infections (67.9% and 79.5%, P = .17, respectively).
- Patel et al. described similar clinical cure rates comparing ceftriaxone with standard of care therapy, which included cefazolin, vancomycin, and nafcillin, in 93 Veteran patients treated for various types of MSSA infections (83.3% and 74.5%, P = .303, respectively).
- higher 30-day mortality rates with third-generation cephalosporins were found when compared with cloxacillin/cefazolin therapy (OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.23–4.08; P = .008).
Abstract
Cefazolin and ceftriaxone are frequently used to treat methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia, especially in the realm of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy. Both antimicrobials have been associated with favorable clinical outcomes for mixed MSSA infections. However, limited published data exist specifically comparing the use of these agents for the treatment of MSSA bacteremia.
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of Veteran patients with MSSA bacteremia who received ≥14 days of cefazolin or ceftriaxone between 2009 and 2014. Rates of treatment failure were compared between both groups. Treatment failure was defined as therapy extension, incomplete therapy, unplanned oral suppressive therapy, relapse of infection, or hospital admission or surgery within 90 days.
Out of 71 patients, 38 received treatment with cefazolin and 33 with ceftriaxone. The overall rate of treatment failure was 40.8%, with significantly more failures among patients receiving ceftriaxone (54.5% versus 28.9%; P = .029). Factors associated with treatment failure included longer duration of parenteral therapy, heart failure, and treatment in an external skilled nursing facility as compared with treatment in the Department of Veterans Affairs attached Community Living Center.
Ceftriaxone had a higher rate of treatment failure than cefazolin for the treatment of MSSA bacteremia in a Veteran population. Potential reasons for this could include the higher protein binding of ceftriaxone, ultimately resulting in lower serum concentrations of free drug, or other unknown factors. Further studies are warranted to confirm these results.
