Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated whether using multiplex bacterial PCR to guide antibiotic treatment improved outcomes for critically ill patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in two French hospitals.
- - A total of 443 patients were analyzed, but the results showed no significant differences in outcomes, such as mortality and duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, between the standard treatment and the PCR-guided treatment groups.
- - The authors noted low adherence to the new antimicrobial stewardship protocol and suggested that the study might not have had enough power to detect any meaningful differences in patient outcomes.
