Safety and Efficacy of Devices Delivering Inhaled Antibiotics among Adults with Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis: A Systematic Review and a Network Meta-Analysis

Abstract: It remains unknown whether the type of aerosol generating device is affecting efficacy and safety among non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) adults. The proposal of this network meta-analysis (NMA) is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of inhaled antibiotics administered via dry powder inhaler (DPI) and via nebulizers (SVN) among adult patients with NCFB. Inclusion criteria were randomized-controlled trials, adults (≥18 years) with NCFB, and inhaled antibiotics administered via DPI as intervention. Sear… Show more

“…Inhaled antibiotics are generally considered more effective and safer than oral and intravenous varieties. However, some experts differ in their opinion [9,10]. They argue that although such interventions reduce the number of exacerbations, sputum production, and bacterial load in the airways, they also cause more localized side effects that can result in their withdrawal.…”
