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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital practice patterns vary for switching from intravenous to oral antibiotics for community-acquired pneumonia in pediatric patients, but it is unknown how these practice patterns affect hospital lengths of stay and costs. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 78673 pediatric patients (aged 3 months to 17 years) hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia. Analyses were performed with data from the Pediatric Health Information System between 2007 and 2016, including discharge data from 48 freestanding children's hospitals. Patients who received antibiotics used to treat aspiration pneumonia and patients with a complex chronic condition were excluded to focus the study on uncomplicated cases. We modeled hospital practice patterns using hospital-level averages for the last day of service on which patients received antibiotics intravenously or first day of service on which patients received antibiotics orally. RESULTS We found that a 1-day decrease in the hospital-level average last day of service on which a patient received antibiotics intravenously reduced the average length of stay by 0.58 day (95% confidence interval [CI], -0.69 to -0.47 day) and average cost by $1332 (95% CI, -$2363 to -$300). Results were similar when hospital practice patterns were modeled using the average first day of service on which a patient received antibiotics orally. These reductions in lengths of stay and costs were not associated with a difference in 30-day readmission rates. CONCLUSIONS Given the reductions in lengths of stay and costs without sacrificing patient outcomes (readmissions), antimicrobial stewardship programs could target provider education on the duration of intravenous antibiotic therapy as a way to reduce resource utilization.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to review the application of antimicrobial stewardship principles to the management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Data from 14 published clinical studies, meta-analyses and practice guidelines regarding the application of antimicrobial stewardship strategies to the management of CAP were identified and analysed. In the context of CAP, application of stewardship strategies (alone or in combination) has been shown to increase physician awareness of guidelines, improve appropriate antimicrobial use and reduce unnecessary antimicrobial prescribing. In addition, application has had a profound favourable impact on patient outcomes, including decreased 30-day mortality and in-hospital mortality rates, reduced length of hospital stay, reduced treatment failure rates and reduced healthcare costs. Antimicrobial stewardship programmes have been demonstrated to successfully increase the level of appropriate antibiotic prescribing, reduce pathogen resistance and improve clinical outcomes in the management of CAP within hospitals. Studies have also shown that adherence to evidence-based guidelines, even at the level of the individual clinician, can have a profound and positive impact on patient outcomes and healthcare costs. Adherence to evidence-based guidelines can have a profound and positive impact on patient outcomes and healthcare costs.

Early switch to oral versus intravenous antimicrobial treatment for hospitalized patients with acute pyelonephritis: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute pyelonephritis is a common infection with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in pediatric populations. Early-switch strategies (from intravenous to oral treatment) may be an acceptable or even preferred option in the treatment of patients with acute pyelonephritis in terms of effectiveness and safety and can also reduce the economical burden associated with pyelonephritis. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of early-switch strategies in hospitalized patients with acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis. METHODS We searched in PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared intravenous antibiotic regimens to regimens including an early switch to oral (after initial intravenous) treatment. RESULTS Eight RCTs (6 in children) were eligible for inclusion. In 5 RCTs the intravenous antibiotic treatment arms were not switched to oral treatment until the end of the study while in the remaining 3 RCTs the intravenous arms were switched late to oral treatment (after 5-10 days). Data regarding the incidence of renal scars, microbiological eradication, clinical cure, reinfection, persistence of acute pyelonephritis, and adverse events were provided in 4 (all pediatric trials), 6 (4 pediatric), 4 (2 pediatric), 5 (3 pediatric), 3 (1 pediatric), and 5 RCTs (3 pediatric), respectively. There were no differences regarding the above outcomes between the two compared treatment regimens in either pediatric or adult populations. CONCLUSION Early switch to oral antibiotic strategies seem to be as effective and safe as intravenous regimens for the treatment of hospitalized patients with acute pyelonephritis. These findings suggest that there is probably a potential to decrease the duration of intravenous treatment by 4-11 days in hospitalized patients with acute pyelonephritis without compromising their outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To quantify the impact of different guideline implementation interventions to improve treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in a hospital setting. METHODS Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care specialized register, EMBASE and CINAHL. STUDY SELECTION Hospital-based trials studying the effect of guidelines on compliance with care processes, clinical and/or economic outcomes in the treatment of CAP together with a description of their implementation interventions. DATA EXTRACTION Two independent reviewers extracted and categorized utilized implementation interventions, assessed intensity of use and calculated changes for process of care variables, clinical and economical outcomes. Correlations between interventions and improvement of outcomes were assessed by means of Spearman's rho-test and Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS In 27 included studies, educational meetings (21/27) and distribution of written material (14/27) were the two most used interventions. Most individual studies show positive overall results, but taken together, no significant relation between number or type of implementation interventions and improvement of outcomes could be detected. Only audit and feedback showed a significant negative influence on the improvement rate of length of stay (p = 0.003; n = 20). CONCLUSION Other hospital-specific factors are likely to have a higher impact on the rate of improvement than the implementation interventions alone. Describing which interventions are most successful is unlikely to be correct without taking these hospital-specific factors into account. Future research should focus on how to identify and define these factors and how to adapt the intervention to hospital-specific factors.
