1 A year in review in community-acquired respiratory tract infections Paul M. Tulkens, MD, PhD * Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology & Center for Clinical Pharmacy Louvain Drug Research Institute, Catholic University of Louvain Brussels, Belgium * this presentation is largely inspired from a lecture and documents of Prof. A. Torres INSPIRATION: Global Perspectives and Local Insights in Infection Management Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 15 November 2013 With approval of the Belgian Ethical Health Platform visa no. 13/V1/4123/ /11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 1

2 Disclosures Financial support from the Belgian Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique for basic research on pharmacology antibiotics and related topics Université catholique de Louvain for personal support Commercial Relationships: AstraZeneca, GSK, Sanofi-Aventis, Bayer HealthCare, Cempra Pharmaceuticals, The Medicines Company, Northern Antibiotics Other relationships in relation to this talk Belgian Antibiotic Policy Coordination Committee Belgian Transparency and Reimbursement Committees Participation in EMA expert meetings for novel antibiotics and as Industry supporting expert for assessment of toxicity of older ones Slides are available at Lectures EMA: European Medicines Agency 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 2

3 Looking back? Definitions (CAP, HCAP, HAP )? Risk factors Predictive factors Improvements in diagnostics Antibiotic combinations New antibiotics? And what about guidelines? An important review Other questions CAP: community acquired pneumonia HAP: hospital acquired pneumonia HCAP: health care associated pneumonia 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 3

4 Definitions 1 Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) Patient has not been in hospital (true community) No risk of HCAP Health-care associated pneumonia (HCAP) Previous hospitalization (>48hrs) in the last 3 months Long term care facilities Domiciliary endovenous therapy Chronic haemodialysis in the last 30 days Domiciliary wound care Close contact with a family member affected by a multidrug resistant infection Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) Patient hospitalized for at least 48-72h Different risks Different bacteria: - USA: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and MRSA - Europe: Streptococcus pneumoniae and less MDRM 2... but... Longer stay, severity and mortality Need to look for MDRM MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MDRM: multidrug-resistant microorganism 1 Proposed by the American Thoracic Society [ATS] /Infectious Diseases Society of America [IDSA] Statement: Guidelines for the management of adults with hospital-acquired, ventilator-associated, and healthcare-associated pneumonia. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005;171: Woodhead M. Thorax Nov;68(11): /11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 4

5 But are those correct and useful? Thorax Nov;68(11): Initial US studies supported this classification. 1 However, several European studies did not find major differences in the spectrum of microbial causes between CAP and HCAP. 2 But the HCAP concept may be useful to identify patients with a worse prognosis. The concept may also be applicable where resistance levels are high (USA, Asian countries ) but not in Europe. 1. Kollef MH et al. Epidemiology and outcomes of healthcare-associated pneumonia: results from a large US database of culture positive pneumonia. Chest 2005;128: See e.g. Polverino E et al.

6 New (or well known) risk factors? Multi-resistant organisms Co-medications Serotypes and resistance Aspiration pneumonia Drug consumption by elderly patients in USA All websites accessed on 5/11/13 S. pneumoniae serogroups in Belgium ( ) Lismond A et al.

7 Multi-resistant organisms (in Europe) Aliberti S et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2012; 15;54: MDR: multi-drug resistant Observational, prospective study study with with consecutive patients coming coming from from the the community and and hospitalized with with pneumonia. Data Data on on admission and and during during hospitalization were were collected. Logistic regression models models to to evaluate risk risk factors factors for for acquiring MDR MDR bacteria independently associated with with the the actual actual presence of of a resistant pathogen and and in-hospital mortality. 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 7

19 New Prognostic factors Background: PSI PSI and and CURB65/CRB65 are are not not 100% sensitive or or specific There is is a definite percentage of of patients with with poor poor evolution that that do do not not show initial severity, which leads to to a delay in in ICU ICU admission These patients have two-fold mortality and and it it is is therefore important to to detect them very very early Thrombocytosis Hyperglycaemia Vitamin D ICU: intensive care unit Torres A, personnal communication 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 19

20 Thrombocytosis as prognostic factor Prina E et al. Chest Mar;143(3): hospitalized CAP CAP patients thrombocytopenia (< (< 100,000/ mm mm 3 3 ), ), thrombocytosis (> (> 400,000/ mm mm 3 3 )) More More respiratory complications with with thrombocytosis, more more septic septic shock shock with with thrombocytopenia Thrombocytosis added added to to mortality (OR (OR 2.7), 2.7), but but there there was was a biphasic relationship 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 20

21 Thrombocytosis as prognostic factor Prina E et al. Chest Mar;143(3): hospitalized CAP CAP patients thrombocytopenia (< (< 100,000/ mm mm 3 3 ), ), thrombocytosis (> (> 400,000/ mm mm 3 3 )) More More respiratory complications with with thrombocytosis, more more septic septic shock shock with with thrombocytopenia Thrombocytosis added added to to mortality (OR (OR 2.7), 2.7), but but biphasic relationship 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 21

22 Glucose as a predictive factor Lepper PM et al. BMJ. 2012;344:e3397. Increased Increased serum serum glucose glucose level level at at admission admission without without pre-existing pre-existing diabetes diabetes was was a predictor predictor of of death death at at and and days: days: mmol/l mmol/l OR days days mortality: mortality: [1.22 [1.22 to to 2.01] 2.01] >14 >14 mmol/l mmol/l OR days days mortality: mortality: (1.62 (1.62 to to 3.46) 3.46) Higher Higher serum serum glucose glucose levels levels were were associated associated with with increased increased mortality mortality in in all all patients patients 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 22

23 Adding vitamin D levels to other scores Remmelts HHF et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2012; 55: CAP: community acquired pneumonia 272 hospitalized patients with CAP. At admission: - Levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, leukocytes, C- reactive protein, and total cortisol - Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and CURB- 65 measured on admission. Outcomes: intensive care unit (ICU) admission 30-day mortality. 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 23

24 Adding vitamin D levels to other scores Remmelts et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2012; 55: hospitalized patients with CAP. At admission: Intensive care admission 30 days mortality ICU x mortality - Levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, leukocytes, C- reactive protein, and total cortisol - Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and CURB- 65 measured on admission. Outcomes: intensive care unit (ICU) admission 30-day mortality. Remmelts HHF et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2012; 55: /11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 24

25 Adding vitamin D levels to other scores Remmelts Vitamin et al. D Clin deficiency Infect Dis. 2012; is associated 55: with adverse outcome in CAP. Vitamin D status on presentation is a significant predictor for 30-day mortality, and more specific when combined with other biomarkers or prognostic scores. Vitamin D supplementation might be a promising candidate for adjuvant treatment in CAP. CAP: community acquired pneumonia Remmelts HHF et al.

30 Antibiotic combinations The controversy about the necessity to add a macrolide to a -lactam continues Medical controversies by Honoré Daumier (1837) From 'Histoire de la médecine et des médecins' by J.C. Sournia (Ed. Larousse, Paris, 1991) 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 30

31 Adding a macrolide in adults? Rodrigo C et al. Thorax. 2013; 68: adults hospitalised with CAP from 72 secondary care trusts across England and Wales. The overall 30-day inpatient (IP) death rate was 24.4%. Combination therapy was prescribed in 3239 (61.8%) patients.

35 Adding a macrolide in children? Ambroggio et al. J Pediatr. 2012;161: patients hospitalized with CAP. 24% received b-lactam and macrolide Authors' combination final therapy words: on admission. Authors' final words: These findings suggest the the need for for a randomized clinical trial trial comparing -lactam and and macrolide therapies in in treating children hospitalised with with CAP CAP to to identify populations or or subpopulations that that may may benefit from from combination antibiotic therapy.

43 Guidelines in paediatrics Guidelines seem not very useful Neuman MI et al. Pediatrics Nov;130(5):e /11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 43

44 Guidelines in paediatrics But OK for penicillins in a few hospitals Neuman MI et al. Pediatrics Nov;130(5):e /11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 44

45 And to finish: an important review Asrar Khan & Woodhead F1000Prime Rep Oct 1;5:43. 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 45

46 Other questions (no time to address them but ask questions ) Does the new conjugated vaccine effectively cover important serotypes such as those associated with pleural effusion and noninvasive pneumococcal pneumonia Yes, but bacteria "adapt" to the new situation Is the administration of corticosteroids in CAP useful and safe This remains disputable (and disputed ) Are fluoroquinolones better than macrolides in the empirical treatment of CAP They probably are but with a low margin CAP: community acquired pneumonia 15/11/2013 A year in review of community-acquired respiratory tract infections 46
