A case –control study of the clinical and economic impact of infections caused by Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE)

ConclusionsThe CPE group was associated with worse clinical outcomes, but this was mainly due to a higher comorbidity burden, more severe illness, and more frequent inappropriate antibiotic treatment rather than resistance patterns as such. However, the CPE group consumed more healthcare resources and incurred higher costs.
