Cefoperazone-sulbactam and risk of coagulation disorders or bleeding: a retrospective cohort study

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Limited evidence has suggested that cefoperazone-sulbactam causes coagulation disorders and bleeding.

Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective study to compare patients receiving cefoperazone-sulbactam versus those treated with cefoperazone-tazobactam or ceftazidime. Propensity-score matching was used to explore whether treatment with cefoperazone-sulbactam increased the risk of prothrombin time (PT) prolongation, coagulation disorders, and bleeding, or decreased platelets (PLT).

Results: The cohort included 23,242 patients. Among patients receiving cefoperazone-sulbactam, the risk of PT prolongation, coagulation disorders, decreased PLT, and bleeding was 5.3%, 9.2%, 15.7%, and 4.2%, respectively. Propensity-score matching analyses suggested that cefoperazone-sulbactam increased the risk of PT prolongation (aOR 2.26, 95% CI 1.61–3.18), coagulation disorders (aOR 1.81, 95% CI 1.43–2.30), and decreased PLT (aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.25–1.72), but not increase bleeding (aOR 1.05, 95% CI 0.79–1.40) compared with ceftazidime. Patients receiving cefoperazone-sulbactam had higher risk of PT prolongation (aOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.11–2.10), coagulation disorders (aOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.21–1.95), but not decreased PLT (aOR 0.93, 95% CI 0.81–1.07) or bleeding (aOR 1.11, 95% CI 0.87–1.42), compared with those receiving cefoperazone-tazobactam.

Conclusion: Cefoperazone-sulbactam may be associated with a higher risk of PT prolongation and coagulation disorders compared with cefoperazone-tazobactam and ceftazidime.

目的探讨极速实时荧光聚合酶链反应(polymerase chain reaction,PCR)、实时荧光PCR、酶联免疫吸附测定(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)和胶体金免疫层析法(gold immunochromatography assay,GICA)4种方法检测新型布尼亚病毒的特异度和灵敏度,为发热伴血小板减少综合征的早期诊断提供依据。方法采集2017年6月1日至9月30日山东大学附属济南市传染病医院86例临床诊断为发热伴血小板减少综合征患者的血清样本,分别应用极速实时荧光PCR、实时荧光PCR、ELISA和GICA 4种方法进行检测。统计学分析采用χ^2检验。结果86份患者血清标本中,极速实时荧光PCR、实时荧光PCR、IgM-ELISA、IgG-ELISA、IgM-GICA、IgG-GICA的新型布尼亚病毒阳性分别为82份(95.34%)、79份(91.86%)、41份(47.67%)、8份(9.3%)、19份(22.09%)和3份(3.49%)。极速实时荧光PCR特异度为100%,灵敏度达到1×103拷贝/mL,3次重复扩增试验显示其Ct值变异系数均<2%。在发热伴血小板减少综合征进展的1期、2期、3期病程中,极速实时荧光PCR的阳性检出率为41份(97.62%)、34份(94.44%)、7份(87.50%),实时荧光PCR的阳性检出率为39份(92.86%)、33份(91.67%)、7份(87.50%),在1期和2期两个病程,极速实时荧光PCR阳性检出率略高;IgM-ELISA阳性检出率从1期(28.57%)到3期(87.50%)显著增高,2期、3期与1期相比,差异均有统计学意义(χ^2=8.347、7.561,均P<0.01);IgM-GICA的阳性检出率从1期(14.29%)到2期(33.33%)也有增高,差异有统计学意义(χ^2=3.962,P<0.05),但与其他方法相比,其检出率偏低。1期,实时荧光PCR阳性检出率显著高于ELISA(IgM和IgG)和GICA(IgM和IgG),差异均有统计学意义(χ^2=33.740、55.080、49.010、64.340,均P<0.01)。2期,实时荧光PCR的阳性检出率高于ELISA(IgM和IgG)和GICA(IgM和IgG),差异均有统计学意义(χ^2=7.700、46.720、23.700、50.630,均P<0.01)。3期,极速实时荧光PCR、实时荧光PCR和IgM-ELISA表现出同样高的阳性检出率,远高于IgG-ELISA和GICA(IgM和IgG)。实时荧光PCR阳性检出率和IgG-ELISA、IgM-GICA、IgG-GICA之间差异均有统计学意义(均χ^2=6.250,P<0.05)。结论极速实时荧光PCR在新型布尼亚病毒的早期检测中有更高的灵敏度和特异度,且重复性好、稳定度高,与传统实时荧光PCR相比大大缩短了扩增时间,对发热伴血小板减少综合征的早期快速诊断具有重要价值。     

A Stable Q Compensated Reverse Time Migration Method Based on Excitation Amplitude Imaging Condition

The stability and efficiency, especially the stability, are generally concerned issues in Q compensated reverse time migration (Q-RTM). The instability occurs because of the exponentially boosted high frequency ambient noise during the forward or backward seismic wavefield propagation. The regularization and low-pass filtering methods are two effective strategies to control the instability of the wave propagation in Q-RTM. However, the regularization parameters are determined experimentally, and the wavefield cannot be recovered accurately. The low-pass filtering method cannot balance the selection of cutoff frequency for varying Q values, and may damage the effective signals, especially when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the seismic data is low, the Q-RTM will be a highly unstable process. In order to achieve the purpose of stability, the selection of cutoff frequency will be small enough, which can cause great damage to the effective high frequency signals. In this paper, we present a stable Q-RTM algorithm based on the excitation amplitude imaging condition, which can compensate both the amplitude attenuation and phase dispersion. Unlike the existing Q-RTM algorithms enlarging the amplitude, the exponentially attenuated seismic wavefield will be used during both the forward and backward wavefield propagation of Q-RTM. Therefore, the new Q-RTM algorithm is relative stable, even for the low SNR seismic data. In order to show the accuracy and stability of our stable Q-RTM algorithm clearly, an example based on Graben model will be illustrated. Then, a realistic BP gas chimney model further demonstrates that the proposed method enjoys good stability and anti-noise performance compared with the traditional Q-RTM with amplitude amplification. Compare the Q-RTM images of these two models to the reference images obtained by the acoustic RTM with acoustic seismic data, the new Q-RTM results match the reference images quite well. The proposed method is also tested using a field seismic data, the result shows the effectiveness of our proposed method.
