Antibiotics Management of Septic Neutropenic Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

University Hospital, Brest130 enrolled

Overview

Neutropenia, defined by an absolute count of polymorphonuclear neutrophils less than \<1500/mm3, exposes patients to infectious complications that can lead to sepsis or septic shock. The mortality risk is higher risk. The recommendations published in 2016 were formulated to homogenize the clinical practices to improve the survival.

We evaluate the adequacy antibiotics prescriptions in febrile neutropenia with suspected infection and evaluate factors influencing adequacy therapy and mortality consequence.
