Abstrakt: Background: A change in empirical antibiotics or the addition of glycopeptide antibiotics is often applied in cases of persistent febrile neutropenia (FN) despite the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. However, the clinical benefit of these approaches remains unclear.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of a change in antibiotics or the addition of glycopeptide antibiotics for persistent FN after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT). We retrospectively reviewed the records of 208 patients who received auto-HCT at our institution between 2007 and 2019. FN that lasted for 4 days or longer was defined as persistent FN. We compared the time to defervescence between patients whose initial antibiotics were changed and/or who additionally received glycopeptide antibiotics, and those without these antibiotic modifications.
Results: Among patients who fulfilled the criteria of persistent FN (n = 125), changes in antibiotics were not significantly associated with the time to defervescence in a multivariate analysis (hazard ratio [HR] 0.72, p = 0.27). On the other hand, the addition of glycopeptide antibiotics was paradoxically associated with a delay in defervescence (HR 0.56, p = 0.033).
Conclusions: Although there may be differences in patient backgrounds, no significant differences were observed in either a univariate or multivariate analysis. Since neither a change in antibiotics nor the addition of glycopeptide antibiotics was associated with earlier defervescence in persistent FN after auto-HCT, routine antibiotic modifications might not be necessary in this setting.
