Effect of Ciprofloxacin Versus Levofloxacin on QTc-interval and Dysglycemia in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients
Abstract
To compare intravenous levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin regarding their risk on the corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation and dysglycemia in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Conditions: QTc Prolongation, Hyperglycemia, Hypoglycemia.
Primary outcome: Effect of ciprofloxacin versus levofloxacin on QTc interval; Effect of ciprofloxacin versus levofloxacin on fasting blood glucose.
Enrollment: 200 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 200 participants or records.
