Combination Therapy of Ceftazidime/Avibactam for the Treatment of Patients Infected with Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
ConclusionCombination therapy (or CAZ/AVI combined with tigecycline) and monotherapy with CAZ/AVI had similar prognoses in patients with only CRKP infection (or CRKP-associated pneumonia), as well as in critically ill patients. Larger randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings. (Source: Infectious Diseases and Therapy)

An Updated Analysis of the Impact of HPV Vaccination Based on Long-term Effectiveness in the Netherlands
ConclusionsUpdated health economic models for HPV vaccination, using updated and long-term effectiveness data and including prevention of treatment-related side effects, demonstrate a substantial additional positive effect on vaccination outcomes. Indeed, extrapolation of the bivalent HPV vaccine ’s updated long-term effectiveness data against HPV-related cervical diseases shows that the positive effects of vaccination may be more substantial than previously estimated. There is a graphical abstract available for this article.Graphical Abstract (Source: Infectious Diseases and Therapy)

Comparing Real-World Healthcare Costs Associated with Single-Tablet Regimens for HIV-1: The 2-Drug Regimen Dolutegravir/Lamivudine vs. Standard 3- or 4-Drug Regimens
ConclusionDolutegravir/lamivudine had the lowest healthcare costs of BIC/FTC/TAF, EVG/COBI/FTC/TAF, and DRV/COBI/FTC/TAF, and the lowest pharmacy costs of all regimens, in unadjusted and adjusted analyses and by treatment experience, supporting the economic benefits of DTG/3TC as an initial or switch regimen for HIV-1.
