VAP短期VS长期抗生素方案:meta分析
Short- vs Long-Duration Antibiotic Regimens for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis George Dimopoulos, MD, PhD; Garyphallia Poulakou, MD, PhD; Ioannis A. Pneumatikos, MD, PhD; Apostolos Armaganidis, MD, PhD; Marin H. Kollef, MD, FCCP; Dimitrios K. Matthaiou, MD Chest. 2013;144(6):1759-1767. doi:10.1378/chest.13-0076 Background:We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of short- vs long-duration antibiotic regimens for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Methods:We searched PubMed and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials. Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing short (7-8 days) with long (10-15 days) regimens were identified. Primary outcomes included mortality, antibiotic-free days, and clinical and microbiologic relapses. Secondary outcomes included mechanical ventilation-free days, duration of mechanical ventilation, and length of ICU stay.Results:All RCTs included mortality data, whereas data on relapse and antibiotic-free days were provided in three and two out of four RCTs, respectively. No difference in mortality was found between the compared arms (fixed effect model : OR = 1.20; 95% CI, 0.84-1.72; P = .32). There was an increase in antibiotic-free days in favor of the short-course treatment with a pooled weighted mean difference of 3.40 days (random effects model: 95% CI, 1.43-5.37; P < .001). There was no difference in relapses between the compared arms, although a strong trend to lower relapses in the long-course treatment was observed (FEM: OR = 1.67; 95% CI, 0.99-2.83; P = .06). No difference was found between the two arms regarding the remaining outcomes. Sensitivity analyses yielded similar results.Conclusions:Short-course treatment of VAP was associated with more antibiotic-free days. No difference was found regarding mortality and relapses; however, a strong trend for fewer relapses was observed in favor of the long-course treatment, being mostly driven by one study in which the observed relapses were probably more microbiologic than clinical. Additional research is required to elucidate the issue.才疏学浅看不懂，最好哪位老师翻译一下。 纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行.
呵呵。新年吉祥！优化抗生素的应用，减少抗生素的滥用是要有循证医学依据的。
