<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX) reduces endotoxin in septic shock patients’ blood and can improve hemodynamics and organ functions. However, its effects on the reduction of septic shock mortality are controversial. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Using the Japanese diagnosis procedure combination database from April 2016 to March 2019, we identified adult septic shock patients treated with noradrenaline. This study used propensity score matching to compare the outcome between PMX-treated and non-treated patients. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality, counting from the day of noradrenaline initiation. The secondary endpoints were noradrenaline-, ventilator-, and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF)-free days at day 28. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 30,731 eligible patients, 4,766 received PMX. Propensity score matching produced a matched cohort of 4,141 pairs with well-balanced patient backgrounds. The 28-day survival rate was 77.9% in the PMX group and 71.1% in the control group (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001). Median days of noradrenalin-, CHDF-, and ventilator-free days were 2 days (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001), 2 days (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001), and 6 days (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001) longer in the PMX group than in the control group, respectively. When stratified with the maximum daily dose of noradrenaline, the PMX group showed a statistically significant survival benefit in the groups with noradrenaline dose &#x3c;20 mg/day but not in the noradrenaline group dose ≥20 mg/day. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Analysis of large Japanese databases showed that septic shock patients who received noradrenaline might benefit from PMX treatment.

Abstract Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections (CRKP-BSIs) are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in critically ill patients. Comprehensive mortality risk analyses and therapeutic assessment in real-world practice are beneficial to guide individual treatment.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 87 patients with CRKP-BSIs (between July 2016 and June 2020) to identify the independent risk factors for 28-day all-cause mortality. The therapeutic efficacies of tigecycline-and polymyxin B-based therapies were analyzed.Results: The 28-day all-cause mortality and in-hospital mortality rates were 52.87% and 67.82%, respectively, arising predominantly from intra-abdominal (56.32%) and respiratory tract infections (21.84%). A multivariate analysis showed that 28-day all-cause mortality was independently associated with the patient’s APACHE II score (p = 0.002) and presence of septic shock at BSI onset (p = 0.006). All-cause mortality was not significantly different between patients receiving tigecycline- or polymyxin B-based therapy (55.81% vs. 53.85%, p = 0.873), and between subgroups mortality rates were also similar. Conclusions: Critical illness indicators (APACHE II scores and presence of septic shock at BSI onset) were independent risk factors for 28-day all-cause mortality. There was no significant difference between tigecycline- and polymyxin B-based therapy outcomes. Prompt and appropriate infection control should be implemented to prevent CRKP infections.
