Abstract
Pulmonary infection (P=.01) and an infectious diseases consultation (P=.04) were associated with carbapenem de-escalation; pulmonary infection and septic shock were associated with unsuccessful de-escalation. Successful de-escalation was associated with lower mortality (0% vs 23%; P<.001) and shorter duration of carbapenem use (4 vs 10 days; P ≤ .001).
