Abstract

          Objective : To compare the 28-day mortality, and nephrotoxicity rate between colistin monotherapy (CM), and colistin-based combination therapy (BC) in patients with A. baumanii MDR pneumonia.

          Method : A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the data of patients 18 years old and older who were diagnosed with A. baumannii MDR from respiratory specimens and received treatment with colistin more than 72 hours. This data had been collected from October 1, 2015 to March 31, 2017. The comparison of the 28-day mortality and nephrotoxicity rate in CM and BC groups were then evaluated.

          Result : Of 400 patients with A. baumanii MDR pneumonia, 129 (32.3%) and 271 (67.7%) patients had received CM and BC, respectively. BC group patients significantly had preexisting renal diseases less than CM group patients (3.9% VS 16.6%, p-value <0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference about gender, age, and severity of the disease between two groups. For 28-day mortality, no differences were found between CM and BC groups (58.9% VS 59.4%, p-value 0.99). The nephrotoxicity rate was not significantly different between two groups (51.9% VS 58.3%, p-value 0.23).

          Conclusion : Neither the administration of colistin only nor colistin with other antimicrobial agents had any noticeable treatment result of A. baumannii MDR pneumonia in terms of mortality and nephrotoxicity rate.
