Donor and newborn profiles and their influence on donation volume and duration: a cross-sectional study in a Spanish human milk bank.

Background: Human milk banks are essential facilities to provide donated human milk (DHM) to preterm and term infants with health complications. Little is known regarding milk bank donors and how their characteristics may influence the particularities of the donation process. The present study aims to assess characteristics of donors and their newborns to identify associations with the amount of DHM and initiation and donation time, during the first and second year of the milk bank operation in Córdoba, Spain.

Clinical efficacy of ceftazidime/avibactam versus other active agents for the treatment of bacteremia due to carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in hematologic patients.

Objectives: The primary objective was to describe clinical features, treatment and outcomes in patients with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) bacteremia. Additionally, patients treated with ceftazidime/avibactam (study group) were compared to the rest of the patients (comparator group) to determine the influence of the treatment in both crude mortality and clinical cure.

Methods: Multicenter and retrospective study that included patients with hematologic malignancies who had CPE bacteremia.
