Popis: BACKGROUND: In premature infants, complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Although universally prescribed, the safety and effectiveness of commonly used antibiotic regimens has not been established in this population. METHODS: Infants ≤33 weeks gestational age and 4) 30 days after study drug completion. RESULTS: 180 infants (128 randomized [R], 52 non-randomized [NR]) were enrolled: 63 in group 1 (45 R, 18 NR), 47 in group 2 (41 R, 6 NR), and 70 in group 3 (42 R, 28 NR). Thirty-day mortality was 8%, 7%, and 9% in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. There were no differences in safety outcomes between antibiotic regimens. After adjusting for treatment group and gestational age, mortality rates through end of follow-up were 4.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39–12.13), 4.53 (95% CI 1.21–15.50), and 4.07 (95% CI 1.22–12.70) for groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Each of the antibiotic regimens are safe in premature infants with cIAI. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT0199499
