Turkish Prospective Cohort Study on Carbapenem Resistant Klebsiella Pneumonia Bacteremia: a National Multicenter Observational Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Combination therapy for Klebsiella Pneumonia and Bacteremia. Completed, enrolled 278 participants across 15 sites.
Detailed Summary
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKp) blood stream infections (BSI) cause substantial mortality among hospitalized patients. Treatment options for CRKp infections are limited and increasing resistance rates to few available drugs, i.e., colistin, is a big concern. This prospective multicenter observational study is designed to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with CRKp bacteremia in an oxacillinase-48 (OXA-48) endemic country to define predictors of mortality with a focus on the impact of mono versus combination therapies on mortality. The study will also investigate risk factors associated with colistin-resistant CRKp BSI.
