Efficacy of a hospital policy of selective digestive decontamination for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales carriers: prospective before–after study
Journal of Hospital Infection(2020)
摘要
A single-centre interrupted time series quasi-experimental study was undertaken to assess whether a hospital policy of selective digestive decontamination (SDD, gentamicin/amikacin with neomycin) administered to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) carriers would reduce the duration of carriage and contain the spread of CRE. No significant difference in time to CRE eradication was observed between the observation (12 months, 120 patients) and intervention (12 months, 101 patients) periods. No change in the trend of new in-hospital CRE acquisitions or bacteraemia during the intervention was detected. As such, administration of SDD to CRE carriers was not effective for the eradication of carriage or controlling in-hospital CRE transmissions.
