Exclusive oral antibiotic treatment for hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia: a post-hoc analysis of a randomized clinical trial. Clin Microbiol Infect 2024; 30:1020-1028. [PMID: 38734138 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2024.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of different ways of administration and types of beta-lactams for hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). METHODS In this post-hoc analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) on patients hospitalized for CAP (pneumonia short treatment trial) comparing 3-day vs. 8-day durations of beta-lactams, which concluded to non-inferiority, we included patients who received either amoxicillin-clavulanate (AMC) or third-generation cephalosporin (3GC) regimens, and exclusively either intravenous or oral treatment for the first 3 days (followed by either 5 days of oral placebo or AMC according to randomization). The choice of route and molecule was left to the physician in charge. The main outcome was a failure at 15 days after the first antibiotic intake, defined as temperature >37.9°C, and/or absence of resolution/improvement of respiratory symptoms, and/or additional antibiotic treatment for any cause. The primary outcome according to the route of administration was evaluated through logistic regression. Inverse probability treatment weighting with a propensity score model was used to adjust for non-randomization of treatment routes and potential confounders. The difference in failure rates was also evaluated among several sub-populations (AMC vs. 3GC treatments, intravenous vs. oral AMC, patients with multi-lobar infection, patients aged ≥65 years old, and patients with CURB65 scores of 3-4). RESULTS We included 200 patients from the original trial, with 93/200 (46.5%) patients only treated with intravenous treatment and 107/200 (53.5%) patients only treated with oral therapy. The failure rate at Day 15 was not significantly different among patients treated with initial intravenous vs. oral treatment [25/93 (26.9%) vs. 28/107 (26.2%), adjusted odds ratios (aOR) 0.973 (95% CI 0.519-1.823), p 0.932)]. Failure rates at Day 15 were not significantly different among the subgroup populations. DISCUSSION Among hospitalized patients with CAP, there was no significant difference in efficacy between initial intravenous and exclusive oral treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01963442.

Appropriateness of Empirical Prescriptions of Ceftriaxone and Identification of Opportunities for Stewardship Interventions: A Single-Centre Cross-Sectional Study. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12020288. [PMID: 36830199 PMCID: PMC9952766 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12020288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Third-generation cephalosporins are widely used due to the convenient spectrum of activity, safety, and posology. However, they are associated with the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, which makes them important targets for antimicrobial stewardship interventions. We aimed to assess the appropriateness of empirical prescriptions of ceftriaxone in a tertiary hospital. This cross-sectional study analysed empirical ceftriaxone prescriptions in January and June 2021. Patients under other antimicrobials 48 h before admission were excluded. The quality of ceftriaxone prescription was assessed regarding the initial appropriateness, duration of inappropriate ceftriaxone therapy, and missed opportunities for de-escalation. Of 465 prescriptions, 46.5% were inappropriate. The ceftriaxone prescription was inappropriate in 95.7% of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) globally and in nearly 40% of urinary tract infections (UTI) in medical and intensive care departments. Intensive care, internal medicine, and palliative care departments showed the highest number of inappropriate ceftriaxone prescriptions and longer length of inappropriate ceftriaxone prescriptions compared to the hospital's average. Improvement of empirical ceftriaxone prescription in LRTI and urinary infections, adherence to local guidelines and de-escalation practices, and targeted interventions focusing on critical departments may significantly reduce the inappropriate empirical use of ceftriaxone.

[PMID: 35934196 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2022.07.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ceftriaxone is recommended as first-line antibiotic treatment (with the addition of macrolide) for hospitalised adults with community acquired pneumonia (CAP). Narrower-spectrum β-lactam as ampicillin, may be associated with comparable clinical outcomes, with less emergence of resistant pathogens or Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). We aimed to examine whether ampicillin and ceftriaxone (with the addition of macrolides for both arms) are comparable for the treatment of hospitalized adults due to CAP. METHODS This was a single center, observational cohort study. We included adult patients who were hospitalized in internal medicine wards due to CAP and were treated with either ceftriaxone or ampicillin with the addition of macrolide. A propensity-score model was used. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality. A multivariable logistic regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. We performed subgroup analyses for the main outcome based on CURB-65 score and age. RESULTS A total of 1586 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There was no difference in 30-day mortality rate in the total cohort (28/233 vs. 208/1353 in ampicillin and ceftriaxone arm, respectively; p = 0.184). In the propensity matched cohort (197 in ampicillin and 394 in ceftriaxone arm), there was no significant difference in 30-day all-cause mortality between treatment groups in multivariable analysis of the main model (OR 0.67, 95% CI, 0.37-1.2; p = 0.189) and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (p = 0.108). Thirty-day mortality rate was (19/197 vs. 57/394, in ampicillin and ceftriaxone arms, respectively; p = 0.108) Patients who were treated with ampicillin experienced significantly lower rates of CDI (0/197, 0% vs. 8/394, 2%; p = 0.044). DISCUSSION Ampicillin was associated with comparable clinical outcomes in comparison to ceftriaxone for patients who were hospitalized due to CAP. Ampicillin was associated with significantly lower rate of CDI. Results need to be confirmed by more robust study designs.

Effects of additive corticosteroid therapy on 90-day survival in patients with community-onset pneumonia. J Infect Chemother 2021; 28:496-503. [PMID: 34955409 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2021.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Systemic corticosteroid therapy is occasionally used as an additive therapy, especially for patients with severe pneumonia. However, its recommendation for use in patients with pneumonia varies worldwide, and its efficacy is unclear. METHODS Adult Japanese patients hospitalized with community-onset pneumonia between January and December 2012 were analyzed using the Diagnostic Procedure Combination database. The patients were classified into mild-to-moderate and severe groups using the A-DROP (age, dehydration, respiration, orientation, and blood pressure) system. The 90-day survival rate was evaluated between the presence or absence of corticosteroid treatment using the Kaplan-Meier method in the overall, mild-to-moderate and severe groups, respectively. The patients' clinical characteristics were adjusted between the two groups using the inverse probability of treatment weighting method. RESULTS Among 123,811, 110,534 patients were classified as mild-to-moderate grade (corticosteroid group: 8,465, non-corticosteroid group: 102,069) and 13,277 patients were classified as severe grade (corticosteroid group: 1,338, non-corticosteroid group: 11,939). The 90-day survival rate was higher in the non-corticosteroid group than in the corticosteroid group in patients with pneumonia of overall grade (weighted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.36; P < 0.001) and those with mild-to-moderate grade (weighted HR: 1.46; P < 0.001). However, there were no significant differences in the outcomes between the two groups in those with severe grade (weighted HR: 1.08; P = 0.38). CONCLUSIONS Additive systemic corticosteroid therapy may be related to poor 90-day prognosis in patients with mild-to-moderate grade community-onset pneumonia, although it may not be positively associated with its prognosis in those with severe grade.

A Retrospective Study on Amoxicillin Susceptibility in Severe Haemophilus influenzae Pneumonia. CANADIAN JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES & MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY 2020; 2020:2093468. [PMID: 32963653 PMCID: PMC7501540 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2093468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Revised: 07/25/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Treatment of Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) pneumonia is on concern because resistance to amoxicillin is largely diffused. This study describes the evolution of resistance to amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (AMC) in Hi isolates and characteristics of patients with Hi severe pneumonia. Methods A monocentric retrospective observational study including patients from 2008 to 2017 with severe pneumonia hospitalized in ICU. Evolution of amoxicillin and AMC susceptibility was showed. Characteristics of patients with Hi pneumonia were compared to characteristics of patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) pneumonia, as reference. Risk factors for amoxicillin resistance in Hi were investigated. Results Overall, 113 patients with Hi and 132 with Sp pneumonia were included. The percentages of AMC resistance among Hi strains decreased over the years (from 10% in 2008-2009 to 0% in 2016-2017) while resistance to amoxicillin remained stable at 20%. Also, percentages of Sp resistant strains for amoxicillin decreased over years (from 25% to 3%). Patients with Hi pneumonia experienced higher prevalence of bronchitis (18% vs. 8%, p=0.02, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (43% vs. 30% p=0.03), HAP (18% vs. 7%, p=0.01, ventilator-associated pneumonia (27% vs. 17%, p=0.04, and longer duration of mechanical ventilation (8 days vs. 6 days, p=0.04) than patients with Sp pneumonia. Patients with Sp pneumonia had more frequently local complications than patients with Hi pneumonia (17% vs. 7%, p=0.03). De-escalation of antibiotics was more frequent in patients with Sp than in patients with Hi (67% vs. 53%, p=0.03). No risk factors were associated with amoxicillin resistance among patients with Hi pneumonia. Conclusions Amoxicillin resistance was stable over time, but no risk factors were detected. AMC resistance was extremely low, suggesting that AMC could be used for empiric treatment of Hi pneumonia, as well as other molecules, namely, cephalosporins. Patients with Hi pneumonia had more pulmonary comorbidities and severe diseases than patients with Sp pneumonia.
