Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative limb infection is associated with a poor prognosis and a low amputation-free survival rate after surgical revascularization in patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia. The Global Vascular Guidelines 2019 recommend antibiotic therapy for patients with deep space foot infection or wet gangrene; however, no study is cited as evidence for this recommendation. The present study was performed to offer new evidence supporting the use of perioperative therapeutic antibiotics in patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) undergoing surgical revascularization. METHODS This single-center retrospective study was performed in Kyushu University Hospital and involved patients with CLTI who underwent surgical revascularization from 2003 to 2021. Ampicillin/sulbactam and cefazolin were defined as preventive antibiotics, and other types were defined as therapeutic antibiotics. Postoperative limb-associated infection was defined as an increased foot infection (fI) score in the Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) classification system after surgical revascularization. The association between perioperative antibiotic therapy and postoperative limb-associated infection was assessed. RESULTS Among 286 limbs of 263 patients with CLTI, 27 (9%) limbs developed postoperative limb-associated infection after surgical revascularization. The fI scores were significantly higher in the patients with than without postoperative limb-associated infection (1.0 ± 0.2 vs 0.4 ± 0.1, respectively; p = 0.0033), indicating that an fI score of ≥1 was a risk factor for postoperative limb-associated infection. Perioperative therapeutic antibiotics significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative limb-associated infection compared with preventive antibiotics (0.0% vs. 44.8%, respectively; p = 0.0028) in the patients with CLTI who had an fI score of ≥1 after bypass surgery, although perioperative therapeutic antibiotics were not effective for patients with an fI score of 0. CONCLUSION Perioperative therapeutic antibiotics for patients with an fI score of ≥1 are beneficial for reducing the incidence of postoperative limb-associated infection after surgical revascularization.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the incidence and clinical impact of occult bacteremia in liver transplantation (LT). METHODS This prospective observational study involved a fixed-point observation for up to 2 weeks after living donor LT in 20 recipients, with 20 donors as comparison subjects. Bacteria in the blood samples were detected using the ribosomal RNA-targeted reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction method. To identify the causality with the gut microbiota (GM), fecal samples were collected and analyzed simultaneously. RESULTS Occult bacteremia was identified in four recipients (20%) and three donors (15%) before the operation, and in seven recipients (35%) and five donors (25%) after the operation. Clostridium leptum subgroup, Prevotella, Colinesella, Enterobacteriaceae, and Streptococcus were the main pathogens responsible. Although it did not negatively affect the donor post-hepatectomy outcomes, the recipients with occult bacteremia had a higher rate of infectious complications post-LT. The GM analyses showed fewer post-LT predominant obligate anaerobes in both the recipients and donors with occult bacteremia. CONCLUSIONS Occult bacteremia is a common condition that occurs in both donors and recipients. While occult bacteremia generally remains subclinical in the healthy population, there is potential risk of the development of an apparent post-LT infection in recipients who are highly immunosuppressed.

Abstract
Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the most common complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD); however, the global prevalence and risk factors for SSIs after PD remain unknown. Objectives To investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for SSIs after PD. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases were systematically searched from inception to 1 December 2022. Observational studies reporting adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of risk factors for SSIs in patients undergoing PD were included. Two independent reviewers in teams performed data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and level of evidence analysis. The pooled results were estimated using a random-effects model. The I 2 statistic and Q χ 2 statistic were used to assess heterogeneity. Funnel plots, Egger's regression test, and the trim-and-fill method were used to determine publication bias. The primary outcomes were identifying risk factors for SSIs after PD. The secondary outcomes were the pooled prevalence rates of SSIs. Results A total of 98 704 patients from 45 studies were included, and 80% of the studies were considered high quality. The estimated pooled prevalence of SSIs was 23% (0.19-0.27, I 2=97%). The prevalence of SSIs was found to be higher in Japan and lower in USA. Preoperative biliary stenting, higher body mass index (BMI), longer operation time, postoperative pancreatic fistula, soft pancreatic texture, perioperative blood transfusion, and cardiac disease were identified as significant risk factors for the development of SSIs after PD. Additionally, broad-spectrum antibiotics were a significant protective factor against SSIs. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis showed that the results were robust. Conclusion and relevance The prevalence of SSIs remains high and varies widely among regions. It is necessary to take effective preventive measures and carry out more prospective studies to further verify these results.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58030401. [PMID: 35334577 PMCID: PMC8953317 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58030401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Septic arthritis is a medical emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. The incidence rate of septic arthritis among dialysis patients is higher than the general population, and dialysis patients with bacteremia frequently experience adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical features and risk factors for longer hospital length of stay (LOS), positive blood culture, and in-hospital mortality in dialysis patients with septic arthritis. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 52 septic arthritis dialysis patients admitted to our hospital from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2020 were analyzed. The primary outcomes were bacteremia and in-hospital mortality. Variables were compared, and risk factors were evaluated using linear and logistic regression models. Results: Twelve (23.1%) patients had positive blood cultures. A tunneled cuffed catheter for dialysis access was used in eight (15.4%) patients, and its usage rate was significantly higher in patients with positive blood culture than in those with negative blood culture (41.7 vs. 7.5%, p = 0.011). Fever was present in 15 (28.8%) patients, and was significantly more frequent in patients with positive blood culture (58.3 vs. 20%, p = 0.025). The most frequently involved site was the hip (n = 21, 40.4%). The most common causative pathogen was Gram-positive cocci, with MRSA (n = 7, 58.3%) being dominant. The mean LOS was 29.9 ± 25.1 days. The tunneled cuffed catheter was a significant predictor of longer LOS (Coef = 0.49; Cl 0.25−0.74; p < 0.001). The predictors of positive blood culture were fever (OR = 4.91; Cl 1.10−21.83; p = 0.037) and tunneled cuffed catheter (OR = 7.60; Cl 1.31−44.02; p = 0.024). The predictor of mortality was tunneled cuffed catheter (OR = 14.33; Cl 1.12−183.18; p = 0.041). Conclusions: In the dialysis population, patients with tunneled cuffed catheter for dialysis access had a significantly longer hospital LOS. Tunneled cuffed catheter and fever were independent predictors of positive blood culture, and tunneled cuffed catheter was the predictor of in-hospital mortality. The recognition of the associated factors allows for risk stratification and determination of the optimal treatment plan in dialysis patients with septic arthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative surgical site infection is a major source of morbidity after pancreatic head resections, and data suggest bacterobilia as a leading cause. Some centers use intraoperative bile duct cultures to guide postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. This prospective study evaluates culture differences between traditional bile duct swab versus bile duct aspiration intraoperative samples. METHODS Prospective patients undergoing pancreatic head resection with both bile duct swab and bile duct aspiration were included. Cultures were reviewed for organism characteristics. Any growth of organisms was considered a positive culture. Bile duct swab yield and characteristics were compared with bile duct aspiration. Postoperative surgical site infection complications were compared to bile duct culture results. RESULTS Fifty patients were included. Bile duct aspiration resulted in a significantly higher median number of organisms compared to bile duct swab (6 vs 3; P < .001). There were no differences in the number of patients (37 vs 33) having positive bile duct aspiration and bile duct swab cultures (P = .385). Anaerobic cultures (not possible with bile duct swab) were positive in 21 patients with bile duct aspiration. A total of 37 (74%) patients had preoperative biliary stenting, which highly associated (P < .001) with positive cultures. Bile duct culture organisms correlated with postoperative surgical site infection in 12/17 (71%) patients. CONCLUSION Use of bile duct aspiration improves intraoperative bile duct culture organism yield over bile duct swab and may improve tailoring of antibiotics in patients undergoing pancreatic head resection.
