Cefoperazone/Sulbactam is recommended as an effective and a safe antibiotic for treating IAIs: Meta-analysis outcomes2
Overall, the clinical efficacy rates of cefoperazone/sulbactam and comparators were 87.7% and 81.7%, respectively, and cefoperazone/sulbactam was associated with a higher clinical efficacy rate than its comparator (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.31-3.00; I2 = 36%; P = 0.10).2
Adapted from Lan SH, et al. 2021.
Study Design: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, 12 studies involving 1674 patients were included. The PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE and CNKI databases were searched for relevant articles up to 25 November 2020. The primary outcome was clinical efficacy rate and the secondary outcomes were microbiologic eradication rate, mortality rate and AE risk.2
Cefoperazone/Sulbactam was associated with a higher microbiologic eradication rate than its comparator (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.72-3.76; I2 = 0).2
