- Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of a predictive model for the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporin in the treatment of community-acquired spontaneous bacterial peritonitis （CASBP）. MethodsThis prospective study was conducted among 50 patients with liver cirrhosis and CASBP who were admitted to The Ninth Hospital of Nanchang from January 2021 to June 2022， and the patients were randomly divided into optimized treatment group and traditional treatment group， with 25 patients in each group. The patients in the optimized treatment group received ceftazidime or imipenem for initial treatment based on the above predictive model， and those in the traditional treatment group received ceftazidime for initial treatment， with the subsequent use of antibiotics adjusted based on the efficacy of initial treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the response rate of initial treatment， cure rate on day 5， and 30-day mortality rate. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsAll patients completed the study. The optimized treatment group had a significantly higher response rate of initial treatment than the traditional treatment group （88.0% vs 60.0%， χ2=5.094， P=0.024）， while there was no significant difference in the cure rate on day 5 between the two groups （80.0% vs 56.6%， χ2=3.309， P=0.069）. As for the patients who received ceftazidime for initial treatment， the optimized treatment group had a significantly higher response rate of initial treatment than the traditional treatment group （88.9% vs 60.0%， χ2=4.341， P=0.037）， while there was no significant difference in the cure rate on day 5 between the two groups （83.3% vs 56.0%， χ2=2.425， P=0.119）. There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality rate between the two groups （8.0% vs 20.0%， χ2=0.664， P=0.415）. For all patients， there was a significant association between response of initial treatment and cure on day 5 （odds ratio ［OR］=9.643， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 2.292 — 40.564） and between cure on day 5 and 30-day mortality （OR=0.138， 95%CI： 0.023 — 0.813）. ConclusionThis predictive model for efficacy helps clinicians to identify the patients who can benefit from third-generation cephalosporin treatment and improve the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporin in the initial empirical treatment of CASBP.
