ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the pharmacoeconomics of cefathiamidine, ceftriaxone sodium, cefuroxime sodium, amoxicillin sodium/clavulanate potassium and cefoperazone sodium/sulbactam sodium in the treatment of pediatric bronchopneumo-nia,and to provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:By retrospective study,338 children with broncho-pneumonia were divided into groups A,B,C,D and E according to different therapy regimens. There were 75,65,76,66 and 56 cases in groups A,B,C,D and E,and they were given cefathiamidine,ceftriaxone sodium,cefuroxime sodium,amoxicillin sodium/clavulanate potassium and cefoperazone sodium/sulbactam sodium intravenously. The pharmacoeconomics of therapy regi-mens in group A,B,C,D and E were evaluated by cost-effectiveness analysis and decision tree analysis model. RESULTS:The effective rates of groups A,B,C,D and E were 93.33%,90.77%,96.05%,87.88% and 87.50%,respectively. The treatment cost of those groups were 1 929.09,2 173.73,1 611.91,1 661.42,1 801.32 yuan,respectively. The cost/effectiveness(C/E)ratio of those groups were 20.67,23.95,16.78,18.91,20.59,respectively. The treatment cost of group C was the smallest,so was the C/E. Results of cost-effectiveness analysis were supported by sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS:Cefuroxime sodium is the best treatment for pediatric bronchopneumonia among 5 antibiotics in respect of cost-effectiveness.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of domestic cefepime ,ceftazidime and cefathiami-dine on bacterial infection in gynecology .Methods 460 patients were randomly divided into Group A (155 patients) for 2.0g.bid of cefepime,Group B (155 patients) for 2.0g.bid of ceftazidime and Group C (150 patient) for 2.0g. bid of cefathiamidine ( intramuscular injection:once every 12 hours ) , and the periods of treatment were all 7 to 10 days.Control observation and study was carried out following Guiding Principle of Clinical Application of Antibacterial Agents.Results The clinical efficacies in Groups A ,B and C were 94.84%,82.58% and 67.33%respectively(χ2 =11.63,37.96,all Pthat of Group B>that of Group C;the adverse effectives were 9.68%,10.32% and 9.33% respectively (χ2 =0.09,P>0.05).Conclusion Cefepime may still be used as the first line drugs ,and drug resistance of various degrees has occurred to ceftazidime and cefathi -amidine,and especially cefathiamidine ,which should be used with caution .
ABSTRACT
Aim: To study the in virto interaction of Cefathiamidine in combination with Ciprofloxacin against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis. Methods: The activity of each drug alone was determined against all the isolates. Chequerborad synergy testing was then performed against all the isolates. Results: The percentage of the FIC index less than 0.5, from 0.5 to 1, from 1 to 2, more than 2 was 53.3% - 93.3%, 6.7% - 46.7%, 0%, 0% respectively. Conclusion: Synergism and additivity of cefathiamidine combined with ciprofloxacin respectively against 90 strains of Gram positive cocci were the main inter actions, there were little autonomy and no antagonism.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the compatible stability of gatifloxacin for injection in combination with cefathiamidine for injection in 0.9% sodium chloride injection or in 5% glucose injection.METHODS: Changes in appearance and pH value of the mixture of gatifloxcation and cefathiamidine within 8 hours after mixing were respectively observed and determined under room temperature(20?1)℃,and the contents were determined by dual ultraviolet spectrophotometry.RESULTS: The appearance,pH value and contents as well as the ultraviolet absorption peak shape of the mixture showed no significant change within 8 hours after mixing in 0.9% sodium chloride injection or 5% glucose injection.CONCLUSION: Gatifloxacin for injection can be mixed with cefathiamidine for injection in 0.9% sodium chloride injection or 5% glucose injection to use.
