Carbapenem is not always the best choice in the treatment of septic shock

Table 3 Effects of antibiotics and pathogenic bacteria on the patient mortality of septic shock among hospitals of different grades

Indicators	Tertiary hospital (n = 498)		Secondary hospital (n = 289)
Indicators	Estimate (95%CI)	P	Estimate (95%CI)	P
Antibiotics
With carbapenem or without carbapenem	− 0.08 (− 2.24, 2.07)	0.94	− 0.83 (− 3.71, 2.04)	0.57
Pathogenic bacteria
Non-fermenting or fermenting	2.39 (− 0.14, 4.91)	0.06	4.19 (0.09, 8.28)	0.04

With carbapenem using carbapenem as the preferred antibiotic medication, Without carbapenem not using carbapenem as the preferred antibiotic medication, Non-fermenting detecting non-fermenting bacteria as the most common pathogenic bacteria causing septic shock, Fermenting detecting fermenting bacteria as the most common pathogenic bacteria causing septic shock
