Evaluation of Tigecycline Efficacy and Post-Discharge Outcomes in a Clinical Practice Population with Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common complication of critical illness among surgical and trauma patients. Inappropriate empiric treatment of VAP increases the mortality rate. The rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) VAP susceptibility to doripenem (DOR) are higher than those to imipenem-cilastat...
