Diagnostic prediction tools for bacteraemia caused by 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in suspected bacterial infections: a nested case-control study
2017-04-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objectives</h4> Current guidelines for empirical antibiotic treatment poorly predict the presence of 3rd generation cephalosporin resistant Enterobacteriaceae (3GC-R EB) as a cause of infection, thereby increasing unnecessary carbapenem use. We aimed to develop diagnostic scoring systems to better predict the presence of 3GC-R EB as a cause of bacteraemia. <h4>Methods</h4> A retrospective nested case-control...
