Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Infection

This is a multicenter real-world observational cohort study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of sulbactam-durlobactam in patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. Patients receiving sulbactam-durlobactam will be compared with those receiving other anti-CRAB regimens during the same period. The primary outcomes are 28-day all-cause mortality and clinical failure. Secondary outcomes include microbiological clearance, recurrence, length of hospital and ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and adverse events. To reduce confounding inherent in observational studies, propensity score methods, including matching and inverse probability weighting, will be applied. A nested therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) sub-cohort will be established to explore the relationship between drug exposure and clinical outcomes.
