The impact of aspirin on Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess in diabetic patients

Abstract In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of aspirin on the risk of pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP-PLA) and invasive KP-PLA syndrome (IKPS) in diabetic patients. Diabetic patients who were propensity-score matched were retrospectively included from hospit...

Sumario:Abstract In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of aspirin on the risk of pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP-PLA) and invasive KP-PLA syndrome (IKPS) in diabetic patients. Diabetic patients who were propensity-score matched were retrospectively included from hospital-based database. Kaplan–Meier approach with a log-rank test was used to compare the cumulative incidences of KP-PLA including IKPS between aspirin users and non-users. Totally, 63,500 patients were analyzed after propensity-score matching (1:1). Compared with that of non-users, the incidence of KP-PLA was significantly reduced in aspirin users (0.31% vs. 0.50%, p < 0.01), but not for that of IKPS (0.02% vs. 0.03%, p = 0.29). Patients taking aspirin for ≥ 90 days had a significantly lower risk for KP-PLA (hazard ratio, 0.67; 95%CI, 0.50–0.90). Females, taking clopidogrel or metformin for ≥ 90 days, and taking H2-blockers or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for ≥ 5 days were also associated with a lower risk of KP-PLA. However, cholangitis and a glycated hemoglobin ≥ 8.5% were associated with an increased risk of KP-PLA.
