1 CAPNETZ-Symposium: Community-acquired pneumoniae New German guidelines S3-Guideline of PEG, DGP, DGI and CAPNETZ Höffken G 1, Lorenz J 2, Kern W 3, Welte T 4, Bauer T, Dahlhoff C, Dietrich E, Ewig S, Gastmeier P, Grabein B, Halle E, Kolditz M, Marre R, Sitter H. Paul-Ehrlich-Society for Chemotherapy 1, German Society for Pneumology 2, German Society for Infectiology 3, Competence-Network CAPNETZ Germany 4, Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany

2 German CAP guideline S3-guideline acc. to the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany AWMF Consensus finding Evidence-based medicine Formulation of clinical algorythms Decision analysis Outcome analysis (in preparation with Competence network CAPNETZ, Federal Agency for Quality Control BQS) All mayor scientific societies incorporated No financing by pharmaceutical companies

3 Classification of evidence (Centre of Evidence Based Medicine 1999) Recommendation Evidence Description A B 1a 1b 1c 2a 2b 2c 3a 3b Evidence by systematic review of sound RCT Evidence by one appropriate RCT Anything-or nothing principle Evidence by systematic review of cohrit studies Evidence by one cohort study /RCT intermediate quality Evidence by outcome-research-studie Evidence by systematic review of case-control-studies Evidence by one case-control-study C 4 Evidence by case series/cohort studies and casecontrol studies of intermediate quality D 5 Expert opinion, laboratory results

4 Targets and target groups Targets Standards for diagnosis and therapy of LRTI Rational prescription of antimcrobials To reduce not indicated usage To avoid the extensive usage of specific antibiotic classes To avoid the emergence of resistant strains Critical review of microbiologic diagnostics Risk stratification Risk-adapted antimicrobial therapy Best clinical outcome and cost effectiveness

5 Principle structure of the guideline on community-acquired pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infections

6 Risk stratification

7 CAPNETZ Mortality figures according different scoring systems CURB CRB CRB-65 Mortality (%) Number positive criteria CAPNETZ 2005

8 Validation of matsr Prediction of mortality Rule Sensitivity Specifity PPW NPW matsr 94% 93% 49% 99,5% mbtsr 51% 80% 16% 96% Ewig S et al. Thorax 2004

9 Decision making for risk stratification Outpatient at the GP CRB-65: one positive criterion: consider hospital admission Inpatient at the emergency room mats score: If positive: consider ICU admission mats negative: CURB B If 1 positive criteria: consider ICU admission B

10 Diagnostics microbiological tests

11 Blood cultures (%) Blood culture + Change of Tx PSI 1 PSI 2 PSI 3 PSI 4 PSI 5 Waterer GW et al. Resp Med 2001; 95: 78 Outpatient setting: No blood cultures B Hospital: Optional blood cultures in mild to moderate CAP Mandatory blood cultures in the ICU B B

12 Sputum Accuracy and practicability in CAP Culture positive sputum 10/116 (9%) Culture guided therapy - all 1/116 (1%) - microscopic valide sputum 1/23 (4%) False positive rate of purulent sputum 14/19 (74%) Ewig Chest 2002; 121: 1486 Outpatient setting: no sputum testing A Hospital setting: sputum testing, if quality criteria fulfilled B

13 Serology and antigen testing No recommendation M. pneumoniae serology C. pneumoniae serology For all amplification assays Pneumococcal antigen test (to be revisited) Procalcitonin i.s. (to be revisited) Recommendation for antigen testing Legionella antigen-test in urine (2c) B B

14 Modifying factors for defining subgroups with different spectra of pathogens

15 CAP-spectrum of causative pathogens Lit. Höffken et al. Chemotherapie-Journal 2005; 14 mild moderate severe S. pneumoniae 38 (30-49) 27 (15-48) 28 (20-31) M. pneumoniae 8 (ng 13) 5 (2-9) 2 (0 3) H. influenzae 13 (4-22) 6 (0 7) 7 (0 10) C. pneumoniae 21 (0-32) 11 (0-17) 4 (0-7) S. aureus 2 (0-2) 3 (0-4) 9 (0-22) Enterobacteriaceae 0 4 (1-8) 9 (2-18) P. aeruginosa 1 3 (0-4) 4 (0-5) L. pneumophila 0 4 (0-8) 12 (0-23) Polymicrobial infection up to 27%, unknown aup to 50%

16 Dichotomy Mild outpatient CAP Risk (y/n) Comorbidities, advanced age, antibiotic pretreatment, recent medical contact Yes: Spectrum with less atypicals, more enterobacteria (2c) A Moderate and severe in-patient CAP Risk for P. aeruginosa (y/n) Pulmonary comorbidity, recent hospital discharge Yes: Spectrum with more enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa (2c) A

17 Empirical treatment with ß- lactam-antibiotics and macrolides in the era of pneumococcal resistance

18 Actual resistance rates in Germany for pneumococci PEG statistics on resistance 2004 Penicillin G 1,2% ( 2 mg/l) Erythromycin DIN 11,3 % ( 8mg/l) CLSI 18,1% ( 1 mg/l) Doxycycline 8,2% No restriction to aminopencillines and macrolides in the empirical treatment of CAP B

21 Failure of Macrolide Antibiotic Treatment in Patients with Bacteremia Due to Erythromycin-Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae John R. Lonks, 1 et al. CID 2002; 35: (24%) of 76 case patients and none of 136 matched controls were taking a macrolide when blood was obtained for culture (P = ). 5 (24%) of 21 case patients with the low-level resistant M phenotype and none of 40 controls were taking a macrolide (P =.00157).

22 ß-lactams versus macrolides any preferences in empiric therapy for mild to moderate CAP?
