Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this systematic review was to examine the efficacy and safety of proton-pump inhibitors for stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically ill patients. METHODS We included randomized trials comparing proton-pump inhibitors versus placebo or no prophylaxis in critically ill adults, performed meta-analyses, and assessed certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations approach. To explore the effect of proton-pump inhibitors on mortality based on disease severity, a subgroup analysis was conducted combining within-trial subgroup data from the two largest trials and assessed credibility using the Instrument for Assessing the Credibility of Effect Modification Analyses. RESULTS Twelve trials that enrolled 9533 patients were included. Proton-pump inhibitors were associated with a reduced incidence of clinically important upper gastrointestinal bleeding (relative risk [RR], 0.51 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.34 to 0.76]; high certainty evidence). Proton-pump inhibitors may have little or no effect on mortality (RR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.93 to 1.05]; low certainty). Within-trial subgroup analysis with intermediate credibility suggested that the effect of proton-pump inhibitors on mortality may differ based on disease severity. Subgroup results raise the possibility that proton-pump inhibitors may decrease 90-day mortality in less severely ill patients (RR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.80 to 0.98) and may increase mortality in more severely ill patients (RR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.96 to 1.20]. Proton-pump inhibitors may have no effect on pneumonia and little or no effect on Clostridioides difficile infection (low certainty). CONCLUSIONS High certainty evidence supports the association of proton-pump inhibitors with decreased upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Proton-pump inhibitors may have little or no effect on mortality, although a decrease in mortality in less severely ill patients and an increase in mortality in more severely ill patients remain possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Stress ulcer (SU) is a common complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The relationship of infarction location and the incidence of SU was unclear. Herein, we aim to investigate the association between ischemic insular damage and the development of SU. METHODS Data were retrieved from the SPARK study (Effect of Cardiac Function on Short-Term Functional Prognosis in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke). We included the patients who had experienced an ischemic stroke within 7 days. The diagnosis of SU was based on clinical manifestations, including hematemesis, bloody nasogastric tube aspirate, or hematochezia. Evaluation of ischemic insular damage was conducted through magnetic resonance imaging. Cyclo-oxygenase regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to assess the relationship between ischemic insular damage and the occurrence of SU. RESULTS Among the 1357 patients analyzed, 110 (8.1%) developed SUs during hospitalization, with 69 (6.7%) experiencing infarctions in the anterior circulation. After adjusting for potential confounders, patients with ischemic insular damage exhibited a 2.16-fold higher risk of developing SUs compared to those without insular damage (p = .0206). Notably, among patients with infarctions in the anterior circulation, those with insular damage had a 2.21-fold increased risk of SUs (p = .0387). Moreover, right insular damage was associated with a higher risk of SUs compared to left insular damage or no insular damage (p for trend = .0117). Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated early separation among groups, persisting throughout the follow-up period (all p < .0001). CONCLUSIONS This study identified a significant independent correlation between ischemic insular damage, particularly on the right side, and the development of SU during hospitalization, indicating the need to consider prophylactic acid-suppressive treatment for patients with ischemic insular damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most commonly prescribed drugs for preventing upper gastrointestinal bleeding in critically ill patients. However, concerns have arisen about the possible harms of using PPIs, including potentially increased risk of pneumonia, Clostridioides difficile infection, and more seriously, an increased risk of death in the most severely ill patients. Triggered by the REVISE trial, which is a forthcoming large randomized trial comparing pantoprazole to placebo in invasively mechanically ventilated patients, we will conduct this systematic review to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PPIs versus no prophylaxis for critically ill patients. METHODS We will systematically search randomized trials that compared gastrointestinal bleeding prophylaxis with PPIs versus placebo or no prophylaxis in adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). Pairs of reviewers will independently screen the literature, and for those eligible trials, extract data and assess risk of bias. We will perform meta-analyses using a random-effects model, and calculate relative risks for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences for continuous outcomes, and the associated 95% confidence intervals. We will conduct subgroup analysis to explore whether the impact of PPIs on mortality differs in more and less severely ill patients. We will assess certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach. DISCUSSION This systematic review will provide the most up-to-date evidence regarding the merits and limitations of stress ulcer prophylaxis with PPIs in critically ill patients in contemporary practice.

Abstract
The lungs were long thought to be sterile until technical advances uncovered the presence of the lung microbial community. The microbiome of healthy lungs is mainly derived from the upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiome but also has its own characteristic flora. The selection mechanisms in the lung, including clearance by coughing, pulmonary macrophages, the oscillation of respiratory cilia, and bacterial inhibition by alveolar surfactant, keep the microbiome transient and mobile, which is different from the microbiome in other organs. The pulmonary bacteriome has been intensively studied recently, but relatively little research has focused on the mycobiome and virome. This up-to-date review retrospectively summarizes the lung microbiome's history, composition, and function. We focus on the interaction of the lung microbiome with the oropharynx and gut microbiome and emphasize the role it plays in the innate and adaptive immune responses. More importantly, we focus on multiple respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and pneumonia. The impact of the lung microbiome on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and lung cancer has also been comprehensively studied. Furthermore, by summarizing the therapeutic potential of the lung microbiome in lung diseases and examining the shortcomings of the field, we propose an outlook of the direction of lung microbiome research.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1231740. [PMID: 37908764 PMCID: PMC10613969 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1231740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Nearly 30% of patients infected with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) were previously shown to be coinfected with carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) or Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB). Infections caused by multiple carbapenem-resistant pathogens present significant challenge to infection control and therapeutic management. The study objective was to identify risk factors for acquisition of multiple carbapenem-resistant pathogens and associated outcomes. Methods A descriptive analysis of adults infected with either CRKP alone or coinfected with CRPA or CRAB was performed. Patient groups were compared on demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcome. Results 86 patients with CRKP monoinfection and 60 patients with coinfections were evaluated. Respiratory tract was the predominant infection site for coinfected patients involving mostly CRPA whereas urinary tract was the primary site for CRKP-only group. More coinfected patients were severely debilitated, had prior carbapenem exposure (37% vs 13%, p<0.001) and history of pneumonia in the past year (67% vs 41%, p<0.01). More coinfected patients required direct ICU admission (45% vs 27%, p=0.02) and had prolonged length of stay (median 15 vs 10 days, p<0.01) than the CRKP-only group but mortality rates (18% vs 16%) were similar. Conclusions CRKP coinfection with another carbapenem-resistant pathogen adds significant morbidity and healthcare burden overall. Empiric therapy with reliable activity against both CRKP and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be prudent for at risk patients with pneumonia.

Abstract
Gut mycobiota inhabits human gastrointestinal lumen and plays a role in human health and disease. We investigated the influence of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on gastric mucosal and fecal mycobiota in patients with gastroesophageal reflux diseases (GERD) by using Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 sequencing. A total of 65 participants were included, consisting of the healthy control (HC) group, GERD patients who did not use PPIs (nt-GERD), and GERD patients who used PPIs, which were further divided into short-term (s-PPI) and long-term PPI user (l-PPI) groups based on the duration of PPI use. The alpha diversity and beta diversity of gastric mucosal mycobiota in GERD patients with PPI use were significantly different from HCs, but there were no differences between s-PPI and l-PPI groups. LEfSe analysis identified Candida at the genus level as a biomarker for the s-PPI group when compared to the nt-GERD group. Meanwhile, Candida, Nothojafnea, Rhizodermea, Ambispora, and Saccharicola were more abundant in the l-PPI group than in the nt-GERD group. Furthermore, colonization of Candida in gastric mucosa was significantly increased after PPI treatment. However, there was no significant difference in Candida colonization between patients with endoscopic esophageal mucosal breaks and those without. There were significant differences in the fecal mycobiota composition between HCs and GERD patients regardless whether or not they used PPI. As compared to nt-GERD patient samples, there was a high abundance of Alternaria, Aspergillus, Mycenella, Exserohilum, and Clitopilus in the s-PPI group. In addition, there was a significantly higher abundance of Alternaria, Aspergillus, Podospora, Phallus, and Monographella in the l-PPI group than nt-GERD patients. In conclusion, our study indicates that dysbiosis of mycobiota was presented in GERD patients in both gastric mucosal and fecal mycobiota. PPI treatment may increase the colonization of Candida in the gastric mucosa in GERD patients.

Abstract
Background Pneumonia is common among older adults and often recurrent. Several studies have been conducted on the risk factors for pneumonia; however, little is known about the risk factors for recurrent pneumonia. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for developing recurrent pneumonia among older adults and to investigate methods of prevention. Methods We analysed the data of 256 patients aged 75 years or older who were admitted for pneumonia between June 2014 and May 2017. Moreover, we reviewed the medical records for the subsequent 3 years and defined the readmission caused by pneumonia as recurrent pneumonia. Risk factors for recurrent pneumonia were analysed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Differences in the recurrence rate based on the types and use of hypnotics were also evaluated. Results Of the 256 patients, 90 (35.2%) experienced recurrent pneumonia. A low body mass index (OR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.83‒0.99), history of pneumonia (OR: 2.71; 95% CI: 1.23‒6.13), lung disease as a comorbidity (OR: 4.73; 95% CI: 2.13‒11.60), taking hypnotics (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.18‒4.01) and taking histamine-1 receptor antagonist (H1RA) (OR: 2.38; 95% CI: 1.07‒5.39) were risk factors. Patients taking benzodiazepine as hypnotics were more likely to experience recurrent pneumonia than patients not taking hypnotics (OR: 2.29; 95% CI: 1.25-4.18). Conclusion We identified several risk factors for recurrent pneumonia. Among them, restricting the use of H1RA and hypnotics, in particular benzodiazepines, may be useful in preventing the recurrence of pneumonia in adults aged 75 years or older.

[PMID: 37142877 PMCID: PMC10159235 DOI: 10.1007/s43440-023-00489-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), ulcers associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), esophagitis, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-ulcer dyspepsia, and Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. The drugs have the effect of inhibiting acid production in the stomach. According to research, PPIs can affect the composition of gut microbiota and modulate the immune response. Recently, there has been a problem with the over-prescription of such drugs. Although PPIs do not have many side effects, their long-term use can contribute to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or C. difficile and other intestinal infections. Probiotic supplementation during PPIs therapy may provide some hope in the reduction of emerging therapy side effects. This review aims to present the most important effects of long-term PPI use and provides critical insights into the role of probiotic intervention in PPI therapy.

[PMID: 37107102 PMCID: PMC10134983 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12040740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This study analyzed a digitized database of electronic medical records (EMRs) to identify risk factors for post-stroke infections. The sample included 41,236 patients hospitalized with a first stroke diagnosis (ICD-10 codes I60, I61, I63, and I64) between January 2011 and December 2020. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the effect of clinical variables on post-stroke infection. Multivariable analysis revealed that post-stroke infection was associated with the male sex (odds ratio [OR]: 1.79; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.49-2.15), brain surgery (OR: 7.89; 95% CI: 6.27-9.92), mechanical ventilation (OR: 18.26; 95% CI: 8.49-44.32), enteral tube feeding (OR: 3.65; 95% CI: 2.98-4.47), and functional activity level (modified Barthel index: OR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.98-0.98). In addition, exposure to steroids (OR: 2.22; 95% CI: 1.60-3.06) and acid-suppressant drugs (OR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.15-1.81) increased the risk of infection. On the basis of the findings from this multicenter study, it is crucial to carefully evaluate the balance between the potential benefits of acid-suppressant drugs or corticosteroids and the increased risk of infection in patients at high risk for post-stroke infection.

Investigating potential confounding by indication when considering the association between proton pump inhibitor use, infection, hepatic encephalopathy and mortality in hospitalised decompensated cirrhosis: a post-hoc analysis of the ATTIRE trial. EClinicalMedicine 2023; 58:101924. [PMID: 37090442 PMCID: PMC10119493 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.101924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed to prevent and treat upper gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. Studies have identified increased incidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in cirrhosis patients taking PPIs. However, results are conflicting, and as PPIs are prescribed for variceal bleeding, a major risk factor for infection and HE, it is challenging to discern whether these associations are causal. Methods In this post-hoc analysis of the ATTIRE trial, we pooled all patient data to investigate the effects of PPI use on clinical outcomes. ATTIRE was a multicentre, open-label, randomised trial of targeted 20% human albumin solution (HAS) daily infusions versus standard care involving 777 adults with decompensated cirrhosis hospitalised with acute complications and albumin <30 g/L. Study recruitment was between Jan 25, 2016, and June 28, 2019, at 35 hospitals across England, Scotland, and Wales. Key exclusion criteria were advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with life expectancy <8 weeks and patients receiving palliative care. In ATTIRE, patients were grouped by PPI use at trial entry. We studied infection and HE at baseline and incidence of hospital acquired infection, new onset HE, renal dysfunction and mortality. We attempted with propensity score matching to account for differences in disease severity. Findings Overall PPI use at baseline was not associated with increased incidence of infection, renal dysfunction or mortality, but was associated with significantly increased incidence of grade III/IV HE during hospital stay (P = 0.011). This was only significant for those taking intravenous PPIs and these patients had >10 times the incidence of variceal bleeding and near double the 28-day mortality compared to non-PPI patients. However, propensity score matching was not possible as there was such a strong selection of patients for PPI use, that we could not find sufficient non-PPI patients to match to. We found no impact of PPI use on plasma markers of bacterial translocation, infection or systemic inflammation. Interpretations Our real-world data from a completed randomised trial show that PPIs are widely prescribed in the UK and judicious use appears safe in patients hospitalised with decompensated cirrhosis. However, patients prescribed PPIs had fundamentally different phenotypes to those not prescribed PPIs, a form of confounding by indication, which should be strongly considered when interpreting studies and making recommendations about their use.

Kang J, Lee R, Lee SW. Effects of gastroesophageal reflux disease treatment with proton pump inhibitors on the risk of acute exacerbation and pneumonia in patients with COPD. Respir Res 2023; 24:75. [PMID: 36906585 PMCID: PMC10008570 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-023-02345-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been suggested as a risk factor for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it remains undetermined whether proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment reduces the risk of exacerbation or affects the risk of pneumonia. This study aimed to evaluate the risks of both exacerbation and pneumonia following PPI treatment for GERD in patients with COPD. METHODS This study used a reimbursement database of the Republic of Korea. Patients aged ≥ 40 years with COPD as a main diagnosis and who received PPI treatment for GERD at least for 14 consecutive days between January 2013 and December 2018 were included in the study. A self-controlled case series analysis was conducted to calculate the risk of moderate and severe exacerbation and pneumonia. RESULTS A total of 104,439 patients with prevalent COPD received PPI treatment for GERD. The risk of moderate exacerbation was significantly lower during the PPI treatment than at baseline. The risk of severe exacerbation increased during the PPI treatment but significantly decreased in the post-treatment period. Pneumonia risk was not significantly increased during the PPI treatment. The results were similar in patients with incident COPD. CONCLUSIONS The risk of exacerbation was significantly reduced after PPI treatment compared with the non-treated period. Severe exacerbation may increase due to uncontrolled GERD but subsequently decrease following PPI treatment. There was no evidence of an increased risk of pneumonia.

Prevention of non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia in Switzerland: a type 2 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial. THE LANCET. INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2023:S1473-3099(22)00812-X. [PMID: 36893785 DOI: 10.1016/s1473-3099(22)00812-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia (nvHAP) is a frequent, but under-researched infection. We aimed to simultaneously test an nvHAP prevention intervention and a multifaceted implementation strategy. METHODS In this single-centre, type 2 hybrid effectiveness-implementation study, all patients of nine surgical and medical departments at the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, were included and surveyed over three study periods: baseline (14-33 months, depending on department), implementation (2 months), and intervention (3-22 months, depending on department). The five-measure nvHAP prevention bundle consisted of oral care, dysphagia screening and management, mobilisation, discontinuation of non-indicated proton-pump inhibitors, and respiratory therapy. The implementation strategy comprised department-level implementation teams who conducted and locally adapted the core strategies of education, training, and changing infrastructure. Intervention effectiveness on the primary outcome measure of nvHAP incidence rate was quantified using a generalised estimating equation method in a Poisson regression model, with hospital departments as clusters. Implementation success scores and determinants were derived longitudinally through semistructured interviews with health-care workers. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03361085). FINDINGS Between Jan 1, 2017, and Feb 29, 2020, 451 nvHAP cases occurred during 361 947 patient-days. nvHAP incidence rate was 1·42 (95% CI 1·27-1·58) per 1000 patient-days in the baseline period and 0·90 (95% CI 0·73-1·10) cases per 1000 patient-days in the intervention period. The intervention-to-baseline nvHAP incidence rate ratio, adjusted for department and seasonality, was 0·69 (95% CI 0·52-0·91; p=0·0084). Implementation success scores correlated with lower nvHAP rate ratios (Pearson correlation -0·71, p=0·034). Determinants of implementation success were positive core business alignment, high perceived nvHAP risk, architectural characteristics promoting physical proximity of health-care staff, and favourable key individual traits. INTERPRETATION The prevention bundle led to a reduction of nvHAP. Knowledge of the determinants of implementation success might help in upscaling nvHAP prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate patients' perspectives and their experiences with a consultation involving a computer-assisted and patient-centered discontinuation strategy (arriba-PPI tool) as part of a German multicenter study on reducing the prescription of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). METHODS Qualitative in-depth telephone interviews on proton pump inhibitors with patients who had received an arriba-PPI tool-based counseling by their general practitioner (GP). A random sample of 30 patients was taken from study participants. Interviews were conducted in 2020 and analyzed using a thematic qualitative text analysis. RESULTS Although this was meant to be the key to shared decision making with regard to PPI reduction, study participants mostly did not recall the visual features of the tool. However, a few patients remembered them very clearly. Above all, patients appreciated a trustful relationship with the GP as well as comprehensive, individualized counseling. CONCLUSION Application of the arriba-PPI tool can support the decision process but can also hinder the consultation process if the tool is not properly embedded in the consultation. GPs using the arriba-PPI tool to support the shared decision-making process should consider the patients' and their own expectations on the benefit of the visual representation of the tool.

Abstract
Background In the population of abdominal surgical patients hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) significantly increases morbidity and mortality. Patients and methods Through regular hospital surveillance of patients who received abdominal operations, we identified postoperative HAP from 2007 to 2019. In an initial nested case-control study, every surgical patient with HAP was compared with three control patients without HAP. Control patients were matched to the cases by age, gender, the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, and type of surgical operation. Also, the patients with HAP, who died were compared with those who survived. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis (MLRA) revealed that other postoperative infections, length of intensive care unit stay, use of H2RA, use of PPI/ H2RA, multiple transfusion, and use of vancomycin in surgical prophylaxis were independent RFs for occurrence of HAP. Also, MLRA identified that age, lenght of hospital stay, use of mechanical ventilation and ceftriaxone in HAP therapy were indepedenttly associated with poor outcome of HAP. All Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were resistant to aminoglycoside antimicrobial agents and showed carbapenem resistance. The most frequently used antibiotics in patients with HAP and without HAP were vancomycin and metronidazole, respectively. Conclusion Our study provided an insight into the burden of HAP in abdominal surgical patients, and highlighted several priority areas and targets for quality improvement.

Abstract
Background A large number of studies have shown that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are associated with infection events. Therefore, we retrospectively evaluated the association of PPI therapy with the occurrence of first pneumonia and peritoneal dialysis(PD)-related peritonitis events in the maintenance PD patients. Methods We collected PD patients in two large hospitals from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016, and divided them into the PPI group and the non-PPI group. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were applied to evaluate the cumulative incidence and hazard ratios (HRs). Inverse probability of treatment weight (IPTW) method was used to adjust for covariate imbalance between the two groups and further confirm our findings. Results Finally, 656 PD patients were included for data analysis, and the results showed that PPI usage was associated with an increased risk of pneumonia [HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.06-2.76; p = 0.027] and peritonitis [HR 1.73; 95% CI 1.24-2.40; p = 0.001]. IPTW-adjusted HRs for the association of PPIs with pneumonia and peritonitis were 1.58 (95% CI:1.18-2.12; p = 0.002) and 2.33 (95% CI:1.91-2.85; p < 0.001), respectively. Moreover, the competitive risk model proved that under the conditions of competition for other events(including transfer to hemodialysis therapy, kidney transplant, transfer from our research center, loss to follow-up, and death), the differences in endpoints events between the two groups were still statistically significant (p = 0.009, p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions PPIs was associated with an increased risk of first pneumonia and PD-related peritonitis events in PD patients, which reminds clinicians to be cautious when prescribing acid-suppressing drugs for PD patients.

Abstract
Suspicion of bacterial aspiration pneumonia (BAP) is frequent during generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE). Early identification of BAP is required in order to avoid useless antibiotic therapy. In this retrospective monocentric study, we aimed to determine the incidence of aspiration syndrome and BAP in GCSE requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) and factors associated with the occurrence of BAP. Patients were older than 18 years and had GCSE requiring MV. To distinguish BAP from pneumonitis, tracheal aspirate and quantitative microbiological criterion were used. Out of 226 consecutive patients, 103 patients (46%) had an aspiration syndrome, including 54 (52%) with a BAP. Staphylococcus aureus represented 33% of bacterial strains. No relevant baseline characteristics differed, including serum levels of CRP, PCT, and albumin. The median duration of treatment for BAP was 7 days (5-7). Patients with BAP did not have a longer duration of MV (p = 0.18) and ICU stay (p = 0.18) than those with pneumonitis. At 3 months, 24 patients (44%) with BAP and 10 (27%) with pneumonitis had a poor functional outcome (p = 0.06). In conclusion, among patients with GCSE, half of the patients had an aspiration syndrome and one-quarter suffered from BAP. Clinical characteristics and biomarkers were not useful for differentiating BAP from pneumonitis. These results highlight the need for a method to rapidly differentiate BAP from pneumonitis, such as polymerase-chain-reaction-based techniques.

Disruption of normal gastrointestinal (GI) function in critical illness is linked to increased morbidity and mortality, and GI dysmotility is frequently observed in patients who are critically ill. Despite its high prevalence, the diagnosis and management of GI motility problems in the intensive care unit remain very challenging, given that critically ill patients often cannot verbalize symptoms and the general lack of understanding of underlying pathophysiology. Common clinical presentations of GI dysmotility issues among critically ill patients include: (1) high gastric residual volumes, acid reflux, and vomiting, (2) abdominal distention, and (3) diarrhea. In this review, we discuss the differential diagnosis for intensive care unit patients with symptoms and signs concerning GI motility issues. There are many myths and longstanding misconceptions about the diagnosis and management of GI dysmotility in critical illness. Here, we uncover these myths and discuss relevant evidence in each subject area, with the goal of re-conceptualizing GI motility disorders in critical care and providing evidence-based recommendations for clinical care.

Association between hospital-acquired pneumonia and proton pump inhibitor prophylaxis in patients treated with glucocorticoids: a retrospective cohort study based on 307,622 admissions in China. J Thorac Dis 2022; 14:2022-2033. [PMID: 35813745 PMCID: PMC9264073 DOI: 10.21037/jtd-21-1886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Background Prophylaxis with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in patients treated with glucocorticoid therapy is a common phenomenon in the general wards of Chinese hospitals. Many of these prescriptions are inappropriate and lead to overuse. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a possible adverse effect for this combination but remains controversial. Methods We designed a retrospective cohort study using electronic medical record databases from multiple hospitals to investigate whether PPI prophylaxis increases the risk of HAP in hospitalized patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. The study population was adult patients who were not critical and treated with at least 1 dose of glucocorticoid during hospitalization and the exposure factor was PPIs prophylaxis. The odds ratio of HAP between the exposed and unexposed groups was calculated based on the cohort which was established by propensity score matching. The dose-effect relationship between PPI prophylaxis and HAP was also evaluated. Results Among the 307,622 admissions eligible for the study, a total of 217,460 (70.7%) admissions had a record of PPI prophylaxis. After reconstructed the cohort by propensity score matching, the exposed and unexposed groups both included 83,786 admissions. The incidence of HAP in the exposed group was higher than that in the unexposed group (2.1% vs. 1.5%, OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.3 to 1.5). The risk of HAP increased when the cumulative dose of PPI during hospital was more than 2 defined drug doses. Compared to the unexposed group, the adjusted odds ratio was 1.3 (95% CI: 1.2 to 1.4) in the medium-dose group (2-7 defined drug doses) and 1.9 (95% CI: 1.8 to 2.1) in the high-dose group (>7 defined drug doses). Conclusions PPI prophylaxis increased the risk of HAP in hospitalized patients treated with glucocorticoid therapy and the risk of HAP increased as the dose of PPIs accumulated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hospital-acquired pneumonia in non-ventilated patients (nvHAP) belongs to the most common healthcare-associated infections. This study aimed to investigate risk factors for nvHAP in patients outside the intensive care unit, focusing on modifiable risk factors. METHODS All inpatients admitted to an academic teaching hospital in Switzerland between 2017 and 2018 were included. NvHAP was defined according to European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control criteria. Patient days during and after ICU stay were excluded. Candidate risk factors - both constant and time-varying - were included in uni- and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. The decay ratio and the characteristic time of influence of HRs was estimated by adopting a linear decay in the Cox model. RESULTS A total of 66,001 hospitalizations with 314 (0.48%) nvHAP and 471,401 patient days were included. Median age was 57 years (interquartile range: 38-71 years) and 32,253 (48.9%) patients were male. Among non-modifiable risk factors, age (adjusted-HR 2.66 for age ≥60 years, 95%CI 1.59-4.45) and male sex (aHR 1.71, 95%CI 1.34-2.18) were independently associated with nvHAP. Time-varying exposures showing strongest independent association with nvHAP were tube feeding (aHR 3.24, 95%CI 2.17-4.83), impaired consciousness (aHR 2.32, 95%CI 1.63-3.31), and severely impaired activity and mobility (aHR 2.06, 95%CI 1.50-2.84). The association with nvHAP decayed within 7.1 - 13.2 days after these exposures ended. CONCLUSIONS The risk for nvHAP varies with time, depending on the patient's medical condition and medical interventions. Several risk factors for nvHAP represent potential targets for specific prevention measures.

Abstract
Pneumonia acquired during hospitalization is called nosocomial pneumonia (NP). Nosocomial pneumonia is divided into two types. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) refers to hospital-acquired pneumonia, whereas ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) refers to ventilator-associated pneumonia. Most clinical literature stresses VAP’s importance and associated mortality and morbidity, whereas HAP is not given enough attention even while being the most common cause of NP. HAP, like VAP, carries a high mortality and morbidity. HAP is the commonest cause of mortality from hospital-acquired infections. HAP is a common determinant for intensive care unit (ICU) admits with respiratory failure. Recent research has identified definite risk factors responsible for HAP. If these are prevented or modified, the HAP incidence can be significantly decreased with improved clinical outcomes and lesser utilization of the health care resources. The prevention approach will need multiple strategies to address the issues. Precise epidemiological data on HAP is deficient due to limitations of the commonly used diagnostic measures. The diagnostic modalities available in HAP are less invasive than VAP. Recent infectious disease society guidelines have stressed the importance of HAP by removing healthcare-associated pneumonia as a diagnosis. Specific differences exist between HAP and VAP, which are gleaned over in this chapter.

Abstract
Background Infections are not common but important in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and are associated with worse outcomes. Infection was proved to be associated with the use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in several cohorts. It remains unclear whether PPI usage affects infection in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods We consecutively enrolled patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from January 2010 to June 2018. All patients were divided into the PPI group and non-PPI group according to whether the PPI was used. The primary endpoint was the development of infection during hospitalization. Results A total of 3027 patients were finally enrolled, with a mean age of 62.2 ± 12.6 years. 310 (10.2%) patients were developed infection during hospitalization. Baseline characteristics were similar between the PPI and non-PPI groups (n = 584 for each group) after propensity score analysis. PPI usage was significantly associated with infection based on the propensity score matching analysis (adjusted OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.02-2.57, P = 0.041). Comparing to patients with non-PPI usage, PPI administration was positively associated with higher risk of in-hospital all-cause mortality (adjusted OR = 3.25, 95% CI = 1.06-9.97, P = 0.039) and in-hospital major adverse clinical events (adjusted OR = 3.71, 95% CI = 1.61-8.56, P = 0.002). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the impact of PPI on infection was not significantly different among patients with or without diabetes and patients with age ≥65 years or age <65 years. Conclusion PPI usage was related to a higher incidence of infection during hospitalization, in-hospital all-cause mortality, and in-hospital major adverse clinical events (MACE) in STEMI patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) is commonly used in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). However, strong evidence for this practice is lacking and there is a dire need for paediatric randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Our aim was to assess the usefulness of SUP with omeprazole in critically ill children. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a randomized, controlled open-label trial, including 144 children admitted into a PICU with a paediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) score of less than 16. We randomly allocated patients to SUP with omeprazole or no SUP. The primary outcome was development of upper gastrointestinal bleeding or nosocomial infection. RESULTS The incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding was 27.1%, but clinically significant bleeding developed in only 5.6% of patients. We did not find a significant difference in the incidence of bleeding between the prophylaxis and control groups (27.8% vs 26.4%; P = .85). We also did not find a significant difference between the groups in the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) (9.6% vs 8.3%; P = .77). The incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) was higher in the prophylaxis group compared to the control group (30.6% vs 12.5%; P = .014). None of the patients developed Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea. We did not find significant differences in mortality, length of PICU stay or duration of mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation was an independent predictor of bleeding (OR, 6.4; 95%CI, 2.73-14.9). CONCLUSION In PICU patients with mild to moderate organ dysfunction, omeprazole does not seem to be useful for prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding while at the same time increasing the risk of CLABSI. Thus, we recommend restricting SUP to mechanically ventilated children.

Abstract
PURPOSE The presence of oropharyngeal dysphagia increases the likelihood of prandial aspiration, and aspiration increases the likelihood of a dysphagia-related pulmonary sequelae such as aspiration pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, and even death. Although these outcomes are unfortunate, it is important to point out that these consequences are not solely determined by the presence of aspiration. The purpose of this tutorial is to provide current information on pulmonary defenses and the variables that increase risk of an adverse outcome in individuals who aspirate. METHOD This tutorial reviews the basics of lung defenses and summarizes the literature to make the case that the host is a central theme in dysphagia management. Case studies are employed to highlight the key variables. RESULTS Based on a literature review, a series of questions are proposed for consideration in dysphagia management. These questions, which take the focus away from the presence of aspiration and toward the associated risks within an individual, are then applied to two case studies. CONCLUSIONS A guiding framework is proposed to encourage clinicians to assess more than the presence of aspiration and consider the individual's ability to cope with the aspirated material. In the presence of aspiration, clinicians are urged to focus on the risk factors that can lead to a negative consequence, identify which factors are modifiable, and determine when a level of risk is acceptable.

Abstract
Background The majority of nosocomial infections in the hospital setting are found in intensive care units (ICUs). The present study was undertaken to determine the incidence, risk factors, causative microorganisms, and outcome of various ICU-acquired infections. Materials and methods The patients admitted to the ICU of a teaching hospital in North India were prospectively studied. Detailed history, clinical examination, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation score II, simplified acute physiology score II, sequential organ failure assessment score, and baseline investigations were recorded. Patients were assessed daily till 14th day for nosocomial infection as per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and were followed till death or discharge. Incidence, risk factors, and outcome parameters were calculated using Student t-test, Chi-square test, and stepwise multivariate logistic regression model. Results The overall incidence rate of ICU infections was 27.9%. The most common ICU-acquired infection was ventilator-associated pneumonia followed by catheter-related bloodstream infection and catheter-associated urinary tract infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae were implicated in most of the infections. ICU length of stay (LOS) >7 days, neurological dysfunction, endotracheal intubation, ischemic heart disease, and use of antacids/H2 blockers were significantly associated with ICU-acquired infections. The mortality rate was 32.8 and 28.8% in patients with and without ICU infections, respectively (p = 0.531). The ICU LOS (19.23 ± 12.79 days) was significantly higher in the ICU infections group (p <0.001). Conclusion Ventilator-associated pneumonia was the most common nosocomial infection in our study. Gram-negative microorganisms were the predominant causative agents for various ICU-acquired infections. Mortality was not found to be affected but ICU LOS was significantly prolonged as a consequence of the development of ICU-acquired infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is widespread in patients with impaired renal function. Whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ACEi/ARBs) potentially take a crucial role in avoiding GIB incidence among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is unknown. METHODS Overall, 734 PD patients were enrolled after using propensity score matching. Kaplan-Meier analysis and COX regression were used to explore correlation between ACEi/ARBs and GIB. Competitive risk model was aimed to identify whether other events were confounding factors. Forest plot was applied to assess the influence of ACEI/ARBs on GIB incidence in different groups. RESULTS During 8-year follow-up, 89 (12.13%) cases of GIB were recorded. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the incidence of GIB among patients taking ACEi/ARBs was lower than those subjects who had not (log rank = 6.442, P = 0.011). After adjusted different confounding factors, administration of ACEi/ARBs was associated with lowered GIB incidence (adjusted HR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.32-0.77, P = 0.002). In competitive risk model, considering of other events, the incidence of GIB in two groups was still statistically significant (P = 0.010). Subgroup analysis showed ACEi/ARBs taking impeded GIB in the ≥ 60 age group (HR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.28-0.98, P = 0.040). CONCLUSION PD patients who were submitted to ACEi/ARBs inclined to have a lower risk for GIB. In this regard, ACEi/ARBs offered a promising choice to GIB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) results in approximately 15-20% of all infections in hospitals, with more than two-thirds being in patients not using mechanical ventilation. The incidence of non-ventilated hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP) is increasing, and it is associated with a longer length of stay, the need for intensive care unit hospitalization and mechanical ventilation use, and higher mortality. AIM To identify, quantify, and summarize predictive factors for NVHAP in adult patients admitted to non-intensive care units as determined by previous observational studies. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and LILACS were systematically searched. Case-control and cohort studies were included, and a meta-analysis was performed for all factors studied more than once. National Institute of Health assessment tools were applied to assess the quality of the studies. FINDINGS Thirty-eight articles showing 204 predictive factors were included. A meta-analysis was performed for 58 factors, 32 of which were significantly associated with NVHAP. When the sensitivity analysis was performed without poor-quality studies, 24 factors remained associated with NVHAP. CONCLUSION Although there is a lack of good-quality studies to establish predictive factors for NVHAP, the results of this study showed 24 factors associated with the development of this infectious complication. Knowledge of the significant predictive factors for NVHAP will enable the identification of patients most likely to develop it.

Ischemic stroke and infection: A brief update on mechanisms and potential therapies. Biochem Pharmacol 2021; 193:114768. [PMID: 34543657 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Ischemic stroke triggers a multifaceted inflammatory response in the brain that contributes to secondary brain injury and infarct expansion. In parallel with brain inflammation, ischemic stroke also leads to post-stroke immunosuppression. Stroke-induced leukopenia then predisposes patients to opportunistic infections potentially leading to pneumonia or unrinary tract infections and a worsened stroke outcome. There is evidence that the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis plays an important role in the etiology of post-stroke immunosuppression, by which prolonged glucocorticoid signalling leads to changes in immune responses. While opportunistic microbes in hospitals have been thought to be the source of infection, recent studies have reported that gut flora may also be a cause of post-stroke infection as a consequence of compromised integrity of the gut barrier after stroke. While antimicrobial drugs would appear to be a rational form of treatment for bacterial infections in stroke patients, the rise in drug-resistant bacteria and possible adverse effects of disrupting beneficial gut flora represent major challenges with these drugs. Considering the prominent role of gut microbiota in modulating immune responses, protecting and restoring the post-stroke gut bacteriome may provide significant benefit in the context of post-stroke infection. With such broad aspects of post-stroke infection occurring together with an extensive inflammatory response in the brain, a carefully considered administration of therapies for ischemic stroke is warranted.

Rauch J, Patrzyk M, Heidecke CD, Schulze T. Current practice of stress ulcer prophylaxis in a surgical patient cohort in a German university hospital. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 406:2849-2859. [PMID: 34518899 PMCID: PMC8803691 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02325-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) has been a widespread practice both in intensive care units (ICU) and internal wards at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Clinical data suggests an important overuse of acid suppressive therapy (AST) for this indication. Data on current clinical practice of SUP in surgical patients in a non-ICU setting are spares. In the light of a growing number of reports on serious side effects of AST, this study evaluates the use of AST for SUP in a normal surgical ward in a German university hospital. Methods Between January 2016 and June 2016, SUP was analysed retrospectively in 1132 consecutive patients of the Department of Surgery of the Universitätsmedizin Greifswald. Results The patients managed with and without SUP were similar with respect to demographic data and treatment with anticoagulants, SSRI and glucocorticoids. Patients with SUP were treated more frequently by cyclooxygenase inhibiting drugs (NSAID, COX2-inhibitors), were more frequently treated in the intermediated care unit and had a longer hospital stay. Risk factors for the development of stress ulcers were similarly present in patient groups managed with and without SUP. About 85.7–99.6% of patients were given SUP without an adequate risk for stress ulcer development, depending on the method used for risk assessment. Discussion Still today, SUP is widely overused in non-ICU surgical patients. Information campaigns on risk factors for stress ulcer development and standard operating procedures for SUP are required to limit potential side effects and increased treatment costs.

Proton Pump Inhibitor Use Is Not Strongly Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Related Outcomes: A Nationwide Study and Meta-analysis. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 19:1845-1854.e6. [PMID: 33989790 PMCID: PMC8111907 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2021.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use has been associated with increased risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and severe outcomes. However, meta-analyses show unclear results, leading to uncertainty regarding the safety of PPI use during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS We conducted a nationwide observational study including all SARS-CoV-2 cases (n = 83,224) in Denmark as of December 1, 2020. The association of current PPI use with risk of infection was examined in a case-control design. We investigated the risk of severe outcomes, including mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit admission, or death, in current PPI users (n = 4473) compared with never users. Propensity score matching was applied to control for confounding. Finally, we performed an updated meta-analysis on risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 mortality attributable to PPI use. RESULTS Current PPI use was associated with increased risk of infection; adjusted odds ratio, 1.08 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.13). Among SARS-CoV-2 cases, PPI use was associated with increased risk of hospital admission; adjusted relative risk, 1.13 (1.03-1.24), but not with other severe outcomes. The updated meta-analysis showed no association between PPI use and risk of infection or mortality; pooled odds ratio, 1.00 (95% CI, 0.75-1.32) and relative risk, 1.33 (95% CI, 0.71-2.48). CONCLUSIONS Current PPI use may be associated with an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospital admission, but these results with minimally elevated estimates are most likely subject to residual confounding. No association was found for severe outcomes. The results from the meta-analysis indicated no impact of current PPI use on COVID-19 outcomes.

Abstract
Korean guidelines for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced peptic ulcer were previously developed in 2009 with the collaboration of the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research and Korean Society of Gastroenterology. However, the previous guidelines were based mainly upon a review of the relevant literature and expert opinion. Therefore, the guidelines need to be revised. We organized a guideline Development Committee for drug-related peptic ulcer under the auspices of the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research in 2017 and developed nine statements, including four for NSAIDs, three for aspirin and other antiplatelet agents, and two for anticoagulants through a de novo process founded on evidence-based medicine that included a literature search and a meta-analysis, A consensus was reached through the application of the modified Delphi method. The primary target of these guidelines is adult patients undergoing long-term treatment with NSAIDs, aspirin or other antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants. The revised guidelines reflect the expert consensus and is intended to assist clinicians in the management and prevention of drug-induced peptic ulcer and associated conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Concerns regarding adverse events associated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) for gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) prophylaxis in the intensive care unit have increased in recent years. Few studies have focused on acid suppressant use in the cardiac care unit (CCU) setting exclusively. We performed a cohort study to determine the efficacy and safety of acid suppressants for GIB prophylaxis in CCU patients. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included adults who were admitted directly to the CCU for more than 2 days from January 1, 2014, to April 30, 2019. The Crusade score was calculated to evaluate the risk of GIB. The primary outcomes were clinically important gastrointestinal bleeding (CIGIB), hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), and in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Of the 3318 patients enrolled, 2284 (68.8%) patients received PPIs, 515 (15.5%) received H2RAs, and 519 (15.7%) received no acid suppressants. After adjusting for potential confounders, utilization of PPIs (2.69, 95% confidence interval [0.62-11.73]) and H2RAs (1.41, 95% confidence interval [0.19-10.36]) were not associated with a lower risk of CIGIB than the control. Sensitivity analyses revealed that PPI use was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in patients over 75 years old, with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.08 (1.14-14.63). PPIs increased the risk of HAP in patients over 75 years old and in those with heart failure, with adjusted odds ratios of 2.38 (1.06-5.34) and 2.88 (1.34-7.28), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Proton pump inhibitors and H2RAs for GIB prophylaxis in CCU patients were not associated with a lower risk of CIGIB than the controls. PPI therapy is associated with increased risks of HAP and in-hospital mortality in patients over 75 years old. PPIs may increase the risk of HAP in patients with heart failure.

Abstract
In 2020 a group of U.S. healthcare leaders formed the National Organization to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (NOHAP) to issue a call to action to address non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP). NVHAP is one of the most common and morbid healthcare-associated infections, but it is not tracked, reported, or actively prevented by most hospitals. This national call to action includes (1) launching a national healthcare conversation about NVHAP prevention; (2) adding NVHAP prevention measures to education for patients, healthcare professionals, and students; (3) challenging healthcare systems and insurers to implement and support NVHAP prevention; and (4) encouraging researchers to develop new strategies for NVHAP surveillance and prevention. The purpose of this document is to outline research needs to support the NVHAP call to action. Primary needs include the development of better models to estimate the economic cost of NVHAP, to elucidate the pathophysiology of NVHAP and identify the most promising pathways for prevention, to develop objective and efficient surveillance methods to track NVHAP, to rigorously test the impact of prevention strategies proposed to prevent NVHAP, and to identify the policy levers that will best engage hospitals in NVHAP surveillance and prevention. A joint task force developed this document including stakeholders from the Veterans' Health Administration (VHA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The Joint Commission, the American Dental Association, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation, Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice (OHNEP), Teaching Oral-Systemic Health (TOSH), industry partners and academia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use was recently reported to be associated with increased severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and worse clinical outcomes. The underlying mechanism(s) for this association are unclear. METHODS We performed a prospective study of hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and COVID-negative controls to understand how PPI use may affect angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression and stool SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Analysis of a retrospective cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 from March 15, 2020 to August 15, 2020 in 6 hospitals was performed to evaluate the association of PPI use and mortality. Covariates with clinical relevance to COVID-19 outcomes were included to determine predictors of in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Control PPI users had higher salivary ACE2 mRNA levels than nonusers, 2.39 ± 1.15 vs 1.22 ± 0.92 (P = 0.02), respectively. Salivary ACE2 levels and stool SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection rates were comparable between users and nonusers of PPI. In 694 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (age = 58 years, 46% men, and 65% black), mortality rate in PPI users and nonusers was 30% (68/227) vs 12.1% (53/439), respectively. Predictors of mortality by logistic regression were PPI use (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.72, P < 0.001), age (aOR = 1.66 per decade, P < 0.001), race (aOR = 3.03, P = 0.002), cancer (aOR = 2.22, P = 0.008), and diabetes (aOR = 1.95, P = 0.003). The PPI-associated mortality risk was higher in black patients (aOR = 4.16, 95% confidence interval: 2.28-7.59) than others (aOR = 1.62, 95% confidence interval: 0.82-3.19, P = 0.04 for interaction). DISCUSSION COVID-negative PPI users had higher salivary ACE2 expression. PPI use was associated with increased mortality risk in patients with COVID-19, particularly African Americans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the burden of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales in Swiss long-term care facilities (LTCFs) to describe the molecular epidemiology, describe the intrainstitutional and regional clusters of resistant pathogens, and identify independent institution- and resident-level factors associated with colonization. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS From August to October 2019, we performed a point prevalence study among residents from 16 LTCFs in Western and Eastern Switzerland (8 per region). METHODS Residents underwent screening for ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E); whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed. We gathered institution-level (eg, number of beds, staff-resident ratio, alcoholic hand rub consumption) and resident-level [eg, anthropometric data, time in facility, dependency, health care exposure, antibiotic treatment, proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use] characteristics. Factors associated with colonization were identified using a generalized linear model. RESULTS Among 1185 eligible residents, 606 (51%) consented to the study. ESBL-E prevalence was 11.6% (70/606), ranging from 1.9% to 33.3% between institutions, with a median of 12.5% in the West and 6.9% in the East (P = .03). Among 59 Escherichia coli (from 58 residents), multilocus sequence type (ST) 131 was most common (n = 43/59, 73%), predominantly its subclone H30R1 (n = 37/43, 86%). WGS data identified multiple intrainstitutional and regional clusters. Independent risk factors for ESBL carriage were previous ESBL colonization [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 23.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 6.6-83.8, P < .001), male gender (aOR 2.6, 95% CI 1.5-4.6, P = .002), and use of PPIs (aOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2-3.8, P = .01). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Overall ESBL-E prevalence in Swiss LTCF residents is low. Yet, we identified several clusters of residents with identical pathogens within the same institution. This implies that particularly affected institutions might benefit from targeted infection control interventions. PPI use was the only modifiable factor associated with carriage of ESBL producers. This study adds to the growing list of adverse outcomes associated with PPIs, calling for action to restrict their use in the long-term care setting.

Gut 2021; 70:1070-1077. [PMID: 32989021 DOI: 10.1136/gutjnl-2020-322557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between the regular use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the risk of type 2 diabetes remains unclear, although a recent randomised controlled trial showed a trend towards increased risk. This study was undertaken to evaluate the regular use of PPIs and risk of type 2 diabetes. METHOD This is a prospective analysis of 204 689 participants free of diabetes in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), NHS II and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS). Type 2 diabetes was confirmed using American Diabetes Association (ADA) diagnostic criteria. We evaluated hazard ratios (HRs) adjusting for demographic factors, lifestyle habits, the presence of comorbidities, use of other medications and clinical indications. RESULTS We documented 10 105 incident cases of diabetes over 2 127 471 person-years of follow-up. Regular PPI users had a 24% higher risk of diabetes than non-users (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.31). The risk of diabetes increased with duration of PPI use. Fully adjusted HRs were 1.05 (95% CI 0.93 to 1.19) for participants who used PPIs for >0-2 years and 1.26 (95% CI 1.18 to 1.35) for participants who used PPIs for >2 years compared with non-users. CONCLUSIONS Regular use of PPIs was associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and the risk increased with longer duration of use. Physicians should therefore exercise caution when prescribing PPIs, particularly for long-term use.

Pattern of systemic antibiotic use and potential drug interactions: Evaluations through a point prevalence study in Ankara University Hospitals. Turk J Med Sci 2021; 51:523-529. [PMID: 32927931 PMCID: PMC8203144 DOI: 10.3906/sag-2004-164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background/aim Most of the hospitalized patients are on a number of drugs for comorbidities and/or to prevent nosocomial infections. This necessitates a careful consideration of drug interactions not only to avoid possible toxicities but also to reach the highest efficiency with drug treatment. We aimed to investigate drug interactions related to systemic antibiotic use and compare three different databases to check for drug interactions while characterizing the main differences between medical and surgical departments. Materials and methods This point prevalence study covered data on 927 orders for patients hospitalized between June 3 and 10, 2018 in Ankara University Hospitals. Systemic antibiotic use and related drug interactions were documented using UptoDate, Drugs, and Medscape and comparisons between the departments of medical and surgical sciences were made. Results The number of orders, or the number of drugs or antibiotics per order were not different between the medical and surgical sciences departments. A total of 1335 antibiotic-related drug interactions of all levels were reported by one, two, or all three databases. UptoDate reported all common and major interactions. Pantoprazole was the most commonly prescribed drug and appeared in 63% of all orders. Among 75 different molecules, ceftriaxone and meropenem were the two most prescribed antibiotics by the surgical and medical departments, respectively. Conclusion A dramatic variance existed amongst antibiotics prescribed by different departments. This indicated the requirement for a centralized role of an infectious diseases specialist. Especially for the hospitalized patient, prophylactic coverage with at least one antibiotic brought about a number of drug interactions. A precise evaluation of orders in terms of drug interactions by a clinical pharmacist (currently none on duty) will reduce possible drug-related hazards.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether acid suppressants [proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs)] are associated with bone fractures in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) treated with glucocorticoids remains unclear. This study compared PPIs with H2RAs in terms of the risk of bone fractures in patients with AAV who received in-hospital induction therapy with glucocorticoids. METHODS We retrospectively identified 149 patients with fractures among 22 821 patients newly diagnosed with AAV in 1730 hospitals using a nationwide inpatient database from July 2010 to March 2018. We conducted 1:4 case-control matching. Age, sex, duration of AAV treatment and fiscal year were matched between the cases and controls. A conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between acid suppressants and fractures. RESULTS Of all enrolled patients with fractures, the median age was 77 years, and 99 (66%) were female. The median duration from AAV treatment to fracture was 52 days. The proportion of patients using PPIs was 91.3% (136 of 149) and 80.2% (478 of 596) in the case and control groups, respectively. Compared with H2RA use, PPI use was significantly associated with fractures after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, smoking habit, Charlson comorbidity index, renal failure, bisphosphonate and same fiscal year according to a multivariate analysis (adjusted odds ratio, 3.76; 95% CI: 1.37, 10.3). CONCLUSION PPI users had a higher risk of fractures than H2RA users among mostly advanced-age patients with AAV with remission induction therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the association of nutritional risk screening score with the development of nonventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) is unknown. This study investigated whether nutritional risk screening score is an independent predictor of NV-HAP. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted between September 2017 and June 2020 in a tertiary hospital in China. The tool of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) was used for nutritional risk screening. A total score of ≥3 indicated a patient was "at nutritional risk." Logistic regression was applied to explore the association between the NRS score and NV-HAP. RESULTS A total of 67,280 unique patients were included in the study. The incidence of NV-HAP in the cohort for the NRS < 3 and ≥ 3 NRS group was 0.4% (232/62702) and 2.6% (121/4578), respectively. In a multivariable logistic regression model adjusted for all of the covariates, per 1-point increase in the NRS score was associated with a 30% higher risk of NV-HAP (OR = 1.30; 95%CI:1.19-1.43). Similarly, patients with NRS score ≥ 3 had a higher risk of NV-HAP with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.06 (confidence interval (CI): 1.58-2.70) than those with NRS score < 3. Subgroup analyses indicated that the association between the NRS score and the risk of NV-HAP was similar for most strata. Furthermore, the interaction analyses revealed no interactive role in the association between NRS score and NV-HAP. CONCLUSION NRS score is an independent predictor of NV-HAP, irrespective of the patient's characteristics. NRS-2002 has the potential as a convenient tool for risk stratification of adult hospitalized patients with different NV-HAP risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the electrolyte disorders considered to be linked to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) use is hypomagnesemia. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of hypomagnesemia linked to long-term PPI use and the correlation with active agents. METHODS The study included 305 patients aged over 18 years with PPI use of 1 year or longer and attending the internal diseases clinic for any reason from April 2019 to December 2019. A survey study was performed about the demographic characteristics and PPI use of patients. Laboratory parameters, such as the hemogram, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and vitamin B12 concentrations were recorded. Magnesium concentrations were measured by a colorimetric method. RESULTS Of the patients 140 (45.9%) were female and 165 (54.1%) were male. The most commonly used PPI active agent was pantoprazole. The duration of PPI use varied from 1-25 years with a mean of 4.31 ± 4.52 years. Of the patients 51.5% reported no medication side effects. The most commonly observed side effect was constipation (n = 98, 32.1%). The mean magnesium concentration was 1.95 ± 0.02 mg/dL. Hypomagnesemia was identified in 65 (21.3%) patients and the incidence increased as age and duration of use increased. Patients using omeprazole had significantly lower magnesium levels compared to patients using pantoprazole, rabeprazole, esomeprazole and lansoprazole. CONCLUSION In light of the data obtained it was concluded that hypomagnesemia linked to PPI use is associated with the type of PPI. While patients using rabeprazole had the lowest rates, those using omeprazole had significantly higher rates of hypomagnesemia. Additionally, there was a proportional correlation between age and duration of use with the risk of development of hypomagnesemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) is commonly used in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). However, strong evidence for this practice is lacking and there is a dire need for paediatric randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Our aim was to assess the usefulness of SUP with omeprazole in critically ill children. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a randomized, controlled open-label trial, including 144 children admitted into a PICU with a paediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) score of less than 16. We randomly allocated patients to SUP with omeprazole or no SUP. The primary outcome was development of upper gastrointestinal bleeding or nosocomial infection. RESULTS The incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding was 27.1%, but clinically significant bleeding developed in only 5.6% of patients. We did not find a significant difference in the incidence of bleeding between the prophylaxis and control groups (27.8 vs. 26.4%; p = 0.85). We also did not find a significant difference between the group in the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) (9.6 vs. 8.3%; p = 0.77). The incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) was higher in the prophylaxis group compared to the control group (30.6% vs. 12.5%; p = 0.014). None of the patients developed Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea. We did not find significant differences in mortality, length of PICU stay or duration of mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation was an independent predictor of bleeding (OR 6.4; 95% CI, 2.73-14.9). CONCLUSION In PICU patients with mild to moderate organ dysfunction, omeprazole does not seem to be useful for prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding while at the same time increasing the risk of CLABSI. Thus, we recommend restricting SUP to mechanically ventilated children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Administrative data algorithms (ADAs) to identify pneumonia cases are commonly used in the analysis of pneumonia burden, trends, etiology, processes of care, outcomes, health care utilization, cost, and response to preventative and therapeutic interventions. However, without a good understanding of the validity of ADAs for pneumonia case identification, an adequate appreciation of this literature is difficult. We systematically reviewed the quality and accuracy of published ADAs to identify adult hospitalized pneumonia cases. METHODS We reviewed the Medline, EMBase, and Cochrane Central databases through May 2020. All studies describing ADAs for adult hospitalized pneumonia and at least one accuracy statistic were included. Investigators independently extracted information about the sampling frame, reference standard, ADA composition, and ADA accuracy. RESULTS Thirteen studies involving 24 ADAs were analyzed. Compliance with a 38-item study-quality assessment tool ranged from 17 to 29 (median, 23; interquartile range [IQR], 20 to 25). Study setting, design, and ADA composition varied extensively. Inclusion criteria of most studies selected for high-risk populations and/or increased pneumonia likelihood. Reference standards with explicit criteria (clinical, laboratorial, and/or radiographic) were used in only 4 ADAs. Only 2 ADAs were validated (one internally and one externally). ADA positive predictive values ranged from 35.0 to 96.5% (median, 84.8%; IQR, 65.3 to 89.1%). However, these values are exaggerated for an unselected patient population because pneumonia prevalences in the study cohorts were very high (median, 66%; IQR, 46 to 86%). ADA sensitivities ranged from 31.3 to 97.8% (median, 65.1%; IQR 52.5-72.4). DISCUSSION ADAs for identification of adult pneumonia hospitalizations are highly heterogeneous, poorly validated, and at risk for misclassification bias. Greater standardization in reporting ADA accuracy is required in studies using pneumonia ADA for case identification so that results can be properly interpreted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is to evaluate the effect of proton-pump inhibitors on the course of COVID-19. METHODS Clinical data of moderate COVID-19 patients admitted to the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center for treatment from January 20, 2020, to March 16, 2020, were collected. A retrospective study was conducted and the patients were divided into two groups according to whether they used proton-pump inhibitors or not. The differences in SARS-CoV-2 clearance and hospital stay between the two groups were compared by Cox proportional hazards (PH) regression models and the propensity score matching method. RESULTS A total of 154 patients with moderate COVID-19 were included in this study, including 80 males (51.9%), 35 patients (22.7%) in the proton-pump inhibitor group, and 119 patients (77.3%) in the control group. In the proton-pump inhibitor group and the control group, the duration of the SARS-CoV-2 clearance was 7 days (95% CI, 6-9) and 7 days (95% CI, 6-11), and the duration of the hospital stay was 21 days (95% CI, 16-25) and 20 days (95% CI, 15-26), respectively. There was no significant difference between the both groups in the cumulative incidence of the SARS-CoV-2 clearance and the discharge, and the same results were obtained after the propensity score matching, all P > 0.05. There was no significant association between the use of proton-pump inhibitors and the duration of SARS-CoV-2 clearance, according to univariate analysis (HR, 1.309; 95% CI, 0.893-1.918) and multivariate analysis (HR, 1.575; 95% CI, 0.993-2.499). There was no significant association between the use of proton-pump inhibitors and the duration of hospital stay for COVID-19, according to univariate analysis (HR, 1.044; 95% CI, 0.714-1.528) and multivariate analysis (HR, 1.064; 95% CI, 0.651-1.740). CONCLUSION The use of proton-pump inhibitors has no effect on prolonging or shortening the course of adults hospitalized with COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the effects of continuous daily treatment with different acid suppressants on the risk of ventilator-associated events in critically ill patients. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS Adult critically ill patients who underwent mechanical ventilation for ≥3 days during an inpatient admission between January 2006 and December 2014. METHODS We estimated the 30-day cumulative risk ratios (RRs) for ventilator-associated events comparing daily proton pump inhibitor (PPI) versus daily histamine-2-receptor antagonist (H2RA) strategies while controlling for time-fixed and time-varying confounding and accounting for competing events. RESULTS Of 6,133 patients, on ventilation day 3, 58.8% received H2RAs, 26.1% received PPIs, and 4.1% received sucralfate. Patients frequently changed treatment throughout follow-up. Among 4,595 patients receiving PPIs or H2RAs on day 3, we found no differences in risk estimates for ventilator mortality and extubation alive comparing daily PPI versus daily H2RA strategies: RR, mortality, 1.03 (95% CI, 0.89-1.22); extubation alive, 1.00 (95% CI, 0.96-1.03). We found similar results after accounting for PPI dose. For possible ventilator-associated pneumonia (PVAP) and infection-related ventilator-associated complication (IVAC), point estimates were larger, but the 95% CIs crossed 1.0: RR PVAP, 1.25 (95% CI, 0.80-1.94); IVAC, 0.89 (95% CI, 0.64-1.17). The magnitude of effect estimates depended on PPI dose. The RR for PVAP, high-dose PPI versus H2RA, was 1.53 (95% CI, 0.82-2.51), and for low-dose PPI versus H2RA, the RR was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.47-1.63). For IVAC, high-dose PPI versus H2RA, the RR was 1.01 (95% CI, 0.66-1.42), and for low-dose PPI versus H2RA, the RR was 0.78 (95% CI, 0.50-1.11). CONCLUSIONS We estimated no effect of daily PPI versus daily H2RA on risk of mortality or extubation alive in critically ill patients. Further investigation with larger samples is warranted for PVAP and IVAC.

Tranberg A, Samuelsson C, Klarin B. Disturbance in the oropharyngeal microbiota in relation to antibiotic and proton pump inhibitor medication and length of hospital stay. APMIS 2021; 129:14-22. [PMID: 32981186 PMCID: PMC7756849 DOI: 10.1111/apm.13087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the appearance of a disturbed oropharyngeal microbiota during hospitalization and explore the patient characteristics that maybe associated with such a disturbance. Oropharyngeal swabs were collected from 134 patients at hospital admission and every 3-4 days thereafter. The samples were cultivated to determine the presence of a disturbed microbiota, which, in turn, was subcategorized into respiratory tract pathogens, gut microbiota and yeast species. Demographics, medical history data and hospitalization events were compared. The percentage of disturbed oropharyngeal microbiota increased significantly with length of stay (LOS). Receiving antibiotic treatment during the hospitalization tended to be associated with a disturbed microbiota (OR 2.75 [0.99-7.60]). Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication and receiving antibiotics before hospitalization were associated with the development of a disturbed oropharyngeal microbiota with colonization of gut pathogens (OR 3.49 [1.19-10.2] and OR 4.52 [1.13-18.1], respectively), while acute hospital admission was associated with a lower risk of colonization of gut pathogens (OR: 0.23 [0.074-0.72]). The risk of developing a disturbed oropharyngeal microbiota increased with LOS in hospitalized patients. PPI medication and receiving antibiotics before hospitalization were independent risk factors for developing oropharyngeal colonization of gut pathogens.

Reducing Antacid Use in a Level IV NICU: A QI Project to Reduce Morbidity. Pediatr Qual Saf 2020; 5:e303.

Abstract
Introduction Gastroesophageal reflux is a physiologic occurrence in infants. Clinicians caring for neonates use histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2As) or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for symptomatic reflux, apnea/bradycardia/desaturations, or irritability. Recent studies have shown that there is an increased incidence of infection, fracture, and mortality in neonates who receive antacids. Methods A multidisciplinary team aimed to decrease nonindicated antacid use in the NICU by 50% by April 2019. Outcome measures include the median number of inappropriate antacid prescriptions and patient-days on acid-suppressants. Interventions include education regarding use and risks of antacids, development of a list of indications deemed "appropriate" for starting an H2A or PPI, mandatory discussion on rounds when considering antacids, documentation of treatment goal, and indication, and an automatic drop-off in the electronic medical record. Results Baseline data (June-December 2017) showed 19 prescriptions of H2As or PPIs. Of those, 10 orders were deemed "inappropriate," according to our indicated uses. There were 407 total patient-days of medication-use (median: 51 patient-days). After the implementation of the interventions (October 2018-May 2019), there were 11 prescriptions of antacid medications, 3 of which were deemed "inappropriate." There were 206 total days of medication-use (median: 18.5 patient-days). Conclusions A multidisciplinary agreement on indications for antacid use in neonates stimulates discussion and creates more purposeful use. Overall, we successfully decreased nonindicated antacid prescriptions in the NICU. For the next steps, we hope to educate physicians on the risks of antacid use and reduce prescriptions in other areas of the hospital and the outpatient setting.

Prophylactic use of acid suppressants in adult acutely ill hospitalised patients: A systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2020; 64:714-728. [PMID: 32060905 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2019] [Revised: 01/31/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acutely ill patients are at risk of stress-related gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and prophylactic acid suppressants are frequently used. In this systematic review, we assessed the effects of stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) versus placebo or no prophylaxis in acutely ill hospitalised patients. METHODS We conducted the review according to the PRISMA statement, the Cochrane Handbook and GRADE, using conventional meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA). The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, clinically important GI bleeding and serious adverse events (SAEs). The primary analyses included overall low risk of bias trials. RESULTS We included 65 comparisons from 62 trials (n = 9713); 43 comparisons were from intensive care units. Only three trials (n = 3596) had overall low risk of bias. We did not find an effect on all-cause mortality (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.14; TSA-adjusted CI 0.90 to 1.18; high certainty). The rate of clinically important GI bleeding was lower with SUP (RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.89; TSA-adjusted CI 0.14 to 2.81; moderate certainty). We did not find a difference in pneumonia rates (moderate certainty). Effects on SAEs, Clostridium difficile enteritis, myocardial ischaemia and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were inconclusive due to sparse data. Analyses of all trials regardless of risk of bias were consistent with the primary analyses. CONCLUSIONS We did not observe a difference in all-cause mortality or pneumonia with SUP. The incidence of clinically important GI bleeding was reduced with SUP, whereas any effects on SAEs, myocardial ischaemia, Clostridium difficile enteritis and HRQoL were inconclusive. STUDY REGISTRATION PROSPERO registration number CRD42017055676; published study protocol: Marker, et al 2017 in Systematic Reviews.
