Hung KC, Chung SJ, Kwa AL, Lee WHL, Koh YX, Goh BKP. Surgical prophylaxis in pancreatoduodenectomy: Is cephalosporin still the drug of choice in patients with biliary stents in situ? Pancreatology 2024; 24:960-965. [PMID: 39068117 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2024.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Universal surgical prophylaxis for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is practiced, with cephalosporins recommended in most guidelines. Recent studies suggest piperacillin-tazobactam (PTZ) prophylaxis in biliary-stented patients is superior in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs). This study aims to refine surgical prophylaxis recommendations based on the local microbial profile and evaluate the clinical outcomes of biliary-stented compared with non-stented patients. METHODS This was a retrospective study of all consecutive PD patients at Singapore General Hospital between January 2013 to December 2019. The primary outcome was post-operative SSI rates. Secondary outcomes included rates of ceftriaxone-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus species from intraoperative bile cultures and 30-day mortality. RESULTS There were 130 biliary-stented and 211 non-stented patients included. Majority of biliary-stented patients received ceftriaxone ± metronidazole prophylaxis (83/130, 63.8 %) while 30/130 (23.8 %) received PTZ. Most non-stented patients received ceftriaxone ± metronidazole prophylaxis (163/211, 77.3 %). Between biliary-stented and non-stented patients, post-operative SSIs (40.8 % vs 38.4 %, p = 0.662), and 30-day mortality rates (1.5 % vs 1.4 %, p = 1.000) were comparable. The adjusted odds of post-operative SSIs was significantly lower in biliary-stented patients prescribed PTZ as compared to non-PTZ prophylaxis (0.29, 95 % CI (0.10-0.79), p = 0.015). Ceftriaxone-resistant Klebsiella spp. and/or Escherichia coli (27.6 % vs 3.8 %, p < 0.001) as well as Enterococcus species (46.1 % vs 11.5 %, p < 0.001), were more prevalent in intraoperative bile cultures of biliary-stented patients, while frequencies in non-stented patients were low. CONCLUSION PTZ prophylaxis effectively reduced SSIs in stented patients post-pancreatoduodenectomy. Based on the local microbial profile, ceftriaxone prophylaxis may be used for prophylaxis in non-stented patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is a highly invasive procedure. Intra-abdominal infections and pancreatic fistulas are strongly correlated complications. In the present study, we identified the risk factors for postoperative early drain colonization (POEDC) and established a perioperative management strategy. METHODS A total of 205 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy were included in the study. POEDC was defined as a positive drain fluid culture before postoperative day (POD) 4. We retrospectively investigated the correlation between POEDC, postoperative outcomes, and clinical factors. RESULTS POEDC was observed in 26 patients (12.6%) with poor postoperative outcomes, including pancreatic fistulas (P < 0.001). A multivariate analysis demonstrated a correlation between these postoperative outcomes and the age (P = 0.002), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.002), procalcitonin (PCT) level (P < 0.001), and drain amylase level on POD 1 (P = 0.032). Enterococcus was detected most frequently, being found in 15 patients. CONCLUSION We observed a strong correlation between POEDC and poor postoperative outcomes. The BMI, age, and PCT and drain amylase level on POD 1 should be considered POEDC risk factors, with the need to propose an antibiotic perioperative strategy. POEDC control may represent the key to improving postoperative outcomes after PD.

Abstract
Importance According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and governing bodies within the American College of Surgeons, the administration of antibiotics as prophylaxis against infection prior to a planned elective procedure is, with rare exception, routinely recommended. The goal of "getting to zero" infections remains a high priority for policymakers, practitioners, and certainly for patients. Observations Despite the many advances in surgical technique, skin decontamination, sterile procedure, and enhanced recovery programs, surgical site infections continue to adversely affect procedures as diverse as dental implant surgery, joint arthroplasty, and major abdominal surgery. Although surgical site infection rates are at historically low levels, progress has stalled in recent reporting periods and such infections remain disabling, costly, and occasionally lethal. Stakeholders in the field, including surgeons, infectious diseases specialists, and industry, advocate for strategies emphasizing greater levels of intraoperative sterility or broader-spectrum antibiotic coverage as the most appropriate path forward. Conclusions and Relevance The current emphasis on ever-increasing levels of intraoperative sterility and extended-spectrum antibiotic use are not sustainable long-term solutions. Continuing to escalate these approaches may contribute to unintended consequences including antimicrobial resistance. Principles of antimicrobial stewardship and microbiome sciences can be applied to inform a more effective and sustainable approach to infection prevention in the field of surgery.

Piperacillin/tazobactam for surgical prophylaxis during pancreatoduodenectomy: meta-analysis. BJS Open 2024; 8:zrae066. [PMID: 38869238 PMCID: PMC11170489 DOI: 10.1093/bjsopen/zrae066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy is associated with an increased incidence of surgical-site infections, often leading to a significant rise in morbidity and mortality. This trend underlines the inadequacy of traditional antibiotic prophylaxis strategies. Hence, the aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the outcomes of antimicrobial prophylaxis, comparing piperacillin/tazobactam with traditional antibiotics. METHODS Upon registering in PROSPERO, the international prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42023479100), a systematic search of various databases was conducted over the interval 2000-2023. This inclusive search encompassed a wide range of study types, including prospective and retrospective cohorts and RCTs. The subsequent data analysis was carried out utilizing RevMan 5.4. RESULTS A total of eight studies involving 2382 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy and received either piperacillin/tazobactam (1196 patients) or traditional antibiotics (1186 patients) as antibiotic prophylaxis during surgery were included in the meta-analysis. Patients in the piperacillin/tazobactam group had significantly reduced incidences of surgical-site infections (OR 0.43 (95% c.i. 0.30 to 0.62); P < 0.00001) and major surgical complications (Clavien-Dindo grade greater than or equal to III) (OR 0.61 (95% c.i. 0.45 to 0.81); P = 0.0008). Subgroup analysis of surgical-site infections highlighted significantly reduced incidences of superficial surgical-site infections (OR 0.34 (95% c.i. 0.14 to 0.84); P = 0.02) and organ/space surgical-site infections (OR 0.47 (95% c.i. 0.28 to 0.78); P = 0.004) in the piperacillin/tazobactam group. Further, the analysis demonstrated significantly lower incidences of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas (grades B and C) (OR 0.67 (95% c.i. 0.53 to 0.83); P = 0.0003) and mortality (OR 0.51 (95% c.i. 0.28 to 0.91); P = 0.02) in the piperacillin/tazobactam group. CONCLUSION Piperacillin/tazobactam as antimicrobial prophylaxis significantly lowers the risk of postoperative surgical-site infections, major surgical complications (complications classified as Clavien-Dindo grade greater than or equal to III), clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas (grades B and C), and mortality, hence supporting the implementation of piperacillin/tazobactam for surgical prophylaxis in current practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still relatively high. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy of piperacillin-tazobactam as perioperative prophylactic antibiotic on organ/space SSI for patients underwent PD. METHODS Four hundred seven consecutive patients who underwent PD between January 2018 and December 2022 were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively. The univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify independent risk factors of organ/space SSI. Postoperative complications were compared between the two groups according to the use of prophylactic antibiotics by a ratio of 1:1 propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis. RESULTS Based on perioperative prophylactic antibiotic use, all 407 patients were divided into the ceftriaxone group (n = 192, 47.2%) and piperacillin-tazobactam group (n = 215, 52.8%). The rate of organ/space SSI was 31.2% with the choice of perioperative antibiotics (OR = 2.837, 95%CI = 1.802-4.465, P < 0.01) as one of independent risk factors. After PSM, there were similar baseline characteristics among the groups. Meanwhile, the piperacillin-tazobactam group had a significant lower rate of organ/space SSI compared to the ceftriaxone group both before and after PSM(P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The adoption of piperacillin-tazobactam as perioperative prophylaxis for patients underwent PD reduced organ/space SSI significantly.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy. AIM To develop a model for preoperative identification of the risk of SSI that may improve outcomes and guide preoperative antibiotics. METHODS The prediction model was built by meta-analysis. After literature search and inclusion, data extraction, and quantitative synthesis, the prediction model was established based on the pooled odds ratio of predictors. A single-centre retrospective cohort was the validation cohort. Receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve were used to assess the model's ability. We also created a decision curve and a calibration plot to assess the nomogram. The effects of prophylactic antibiotics on SSI were compared between groups by multivariable logistic regression with different risk stratifications. FINDINGS Twenty-eight studies were included in the meta-analysis, 17 studies in the derivation cohort. Age, male gender, body mass index, pancreatic duct diameter, high-risk diagnosis, and preoperative biliary drainage were selected to build the prediction model. The model was validated in an external cohort. The cut-off value was 3.5 and area under the curve (AUC) was 0.76 in open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). In laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, the cut-off value was 4.5 and AUC was 0.69. Decision curve and calibration plot showed good usability of the model, especially in OPD. Multivariable logistic regression did not indicate differences between broad- and narrow-spectrum antibiotics for SSI in different risk stratifications. CONCLUSION The model can identify patients with a high risk of SSI preoperatively. The choice of prophylactic antibiotics under different risk stratifications should be investigated further.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggest a major role for the gut microbiome in wound infections. A Trojan Horse mechanism of surgical site infections has been hypothesized to occur when pathogens in the gut, gums, and periodontal areas enter an immune cell and silently travel to the wound site where they release their infectious payload. Genetic tracking of microbes at the strain level is now possible with genetic sequencing techniques and can clarify the origin of microbes that cause wound infections. An emerging field of dietary prehabilitation to modulate the microbiome before surgery is being described to improve infection-related outcomes from surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections are common after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Our institution routinely performs intraoperative bile culture with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Herein we examined whether antibiotic selection based on bile culture analysis reduced the surgical site infection risk after pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS A total of 349 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with intraoperative bile cultures in our institution between 2008 and 2019. Patients were categorized into "group A" (196 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2008 and 2013) or "group B" (153 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2018 and 2019). Group A received cefazoline perioperatively and for 2 days postoperatively, whereas group B received piperacillin-tazobactam instead based on the bile culture findings in group A. RESULTS In group A, 91 (46.4%) intraoperative bile cultures were positive, and surgical site infections occurred in 61 patients (31.1%). A total of 32 patients had both positive bile culture and surgical site infection, of whom 23 (71.9%) exhibited the same microorganisms in the biliary and surgical site infection cultures. Due to the common finding of cefazoline-resistant Enterococcus spp. and Enterobacter spp. in group A, group B received piperacillin-tazobactam. Surgical site infection incidence in group B was 18.3% (n = 28), which was significantly lower than in group A (P = .006). Cefazoline-resistant Enterococcus spp. and Enterobacter spp., respectively, were cultured in 69.8% and 24.3% of patients with preoperative biliary drainage, compared with 32.2% and 9.7% of patients without preoperative biliary drainage. CONCLUSION The perioperative selection of antibiotics based on bile culture findings at pancreaticoduodenectomy can reduce the incidence of surgical site infection.

Abstract
The emergence of the gut microbiome as a complex ecosystem that plays a key role in human heath and disease has touched virtually every aspect of medical and surgical care. With the advent of next-generation technology to interrogate the microbiome at the level of its membership, community structure and production of metabolites, applying measures by which the gut microbiome can be manipulated to the advantage of both the patient and provider is now possible. Among the many proposed methods, the most practical and promising is dietary pre-habilitation of the gut microbiome prior to high-risk anastomotic surgery. In this review, we will outline the scientific rationale and molecular underpinning that support dietary pre-habilitation as a practical and deliverable method to prevent complications after high-risk anastomotic surgery.

Abstract
Background: Despite advances in infection control measures, surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a real and present danger to patients. In most studies addressing SSI prevention measures, recommendations are often made in the absence of information such as culture results, the antibiotic agents used for prophylaxis, and antibiotic sensitivity data. The aim of this study is to document this latter claim by reviewing studies published in the last five years in highly read and cited surgical journals. Methods: A systematic review evaluating SSIs from four highly cited surgical journals, Annals of Surgery, the British Journal of Surgery, JAMA Surgery, and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons was conducted for articles published between 2016 and 2021. We focused our analysis on the following key features: how SSI is defined; bacterial culture information; antibiotic sensitivity data; and identification of the antibiotic chosen for prophylaxis. We hypothesized that, in most cases among the journals queried, this information would be unavailable. Results: Of the 71 studies included, 32 diagnosed SSIs based on criteria developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while five provided no definition of SSI. Of the 27 articles recommending increasing antibiotic usage, only one study performed antibiotic sensitivity testing to guide the antibiotic choice. Of 71 studies reviewed, only one reported all key features we considered to be important for SSI antibiotic decision-making; 46 reported none of the key features. Conclusions: Among publications addressing SSIs in four highly cited surgical journals, key information regarding diagnosis and with which to base antibiotic recommendations, is routinely unavailable.

Cefotaxime resistance in bile samples is an independent predictor of deep infectious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with endoprosthesis. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2022; 30:514-522.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacteriobilia may increase the rate of deep infectious complications (DIC) after pancreaticoduodenectomy. To better adjust prophylactic and empirical antibacterial treatment, we aimed to characterize bacteriobilia in patients with preoperative endoprosthesis, and its association with postoperative DIC. METHODS All patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our center between 2010 and 2019 were included. The association between microbiological findings from bile samples, and postoperative DIC was analyzed, and we compared microbiology data between 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 periods. RESULTS We enrolled 578 patients (median age 67 years [59-72], 58.7% males), of whom 220 (38.1%) had preoperative biliary endoprosthesis, with 197 (89.5%) positive peroperative bile samples pathogens were Enterobacterales, enterococci, and Candida albicans. The incidence of DIC was similar in patients with or without endoprosthesis (20.4% vs. 17.8%, P=0.352). Bacterial isolates collected during 2015-2019 were more resistant to cefotaxime than those recovered from 2010-2014 (45.5% vs. 25.5%, P=0.009). The only independent risk factor for DIC in patients with endoprosthesis was cefotaxime resistance in bile (hazard ratio 3.027 [1.115-8.216], P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of DIC is high after pancreaticoduodenectomy, with or without endoprosthesis, despite routine postoperative treatment. Cefotaxime resistance, the only independent predictor of DIC in patients with endoprosthesis, has increased over time. Hence, cefotaxime may no longer be an appropriate empirical treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Infectious complications are common after pancreatoduodenectomy, which in turn are associated with preoperative biliary drainage. Current guidelines recommend a first-generation cephalosporin as perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. However, some studies support the use of targeted antibiotics. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the role of prophylactic targeted antibiotics compared to standard antibiotics in reducing postoperative infections after pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS A search from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane library from 1946 to July 2020 was conducted. Studies were included if they compared targeted antibiotics with standard perioperative antibiotics while including outcome data on surgical site infections (SSI). Targeted therapy was defined as perioperative antibiotics targeting organisms prevalent in bile instrumentation or by culture data obtained from the patient or institution. Outcomes assessed were the rate of SSIs and their microbiology profile. Analyses included demographic data, perioperative antibiotics, postoperative outcomes including microbiology data, and meta-analysis was performed where applicable. RESULTS Seven studies were included, with a total of 849 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. Targeted antibiotics were associated with a significantly lower rate of postoperative SSI compared to standard antibiotic therapy [21.1% vs 41.9%; risk ratios (RR) 0.55, 95% confidence interval 0.37-0.81]. Wound/incisional site infections and organ space infections were lower in patients receiving targeted antibiotic prophylaxis (RR 0.33, P = 0.0002 and RR 0.54, P = 0.0004, respectively). Enterococcus species were the most common bacteria reported. CONCLUSION There was a significant reduction in overall SSI rates when targeted antibiotics was used. Current standard antibiotic prophylaxis is inadequate in covering microbes prevalent in postoperative infections developing after pancreatoduodenectomy.
