PG - 95-102 LID - 10.1080/14787210.2021.1927711 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ceftobiprole for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs). METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, EBSO, Ovid Medline, ClinicalTrial.gov and Cochrane Library were searched until 25 December 2020. Only randomized controlled trials that compared the treatment efficacy of ceftobiprole with that of other antibiotics for adult patients with ABSSSIs were included in this meta-analysis. RESULTS: The 3 RCTs involving 2291 adult patients with ABSSSIs were included. No significant difference in clinical success, as measured by the TOC, was observed between ceftobiprole and comparators among the intention-to-treat population (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.85-1.33; I(2) = 0%) and clinical evaluable population (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.76-1.79; I(2) = 17%). Ceftobiprole was associated with a similar risk of adverse events (AEs) to that of comparators. CONCLUSIONS: Ceftobiprole can achieve similar clinical and microbiological responses as alternative antibiotics in patients with ABSSSIs. In addition, ceftobiprole shares a similar safety profile to comparators.
