1 Think Smart About Antibiotics: Today s Presenter Katie Richards 2 Objectives Define antibiotic stewardship Understand upcoming CMS requirements Know the current data on sepsis and CDI Understand why sepsis prevention does not contradict the principles of antibiotic stewardship Receive background information on current stewardship initiatives in MD and VA 3 1

2 What is Antibiotic Stewardship? Coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure appropriate use of antibiotics by promoting the selection of optimal antibiotic drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration. Coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antibiotics, improves patient outcomes, reduces antibiotic resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. Stewardship 4 What is Antibiotic Stewardship? The 4 D s of optimal antimicrobial therapy 1. Drug 2. Dose 3. Duration of therapy 4. De-escalation Joseph J, RodvoldKA. The role of carbapenemsin the treatment of severe nosocomial respiratory tract infections. Expert Opin Pharmacother. 2008;9(4): Goals of Antibiotic Stewardship Optimize Patient Safety Decrease/Control Costs Reduce Resistance 6 2

3 Goals of Antibiotic Stewardship Optimize Patient Safety Decrease/Control Costs Reduce Resistance 7 How Does Antibiotic Resistance Happen? 8 Core Actions to Fight Resistance Four Core Actions to Fight Resistance 9 3

4 Goals of Antibiotic Stewardship Optimize Patient Safety Decrease/Control Costs Reduce Resistance 10 Antibiotic Stewardship Saves $$$ In acute care, antibiotic stewardship has been shown to reduce hospital pharmacy costs Inpatient antibiotic stewardship programs have consistently demonstrated $200K-$400K in annual savings Very few studies on antibiotic use in nursing homes have calculated financial costs De-escalation could reduce high-cost antibiotics Goals of Antibiotic Stewardship Optimize Patient Safety Decrease/Control Costs Reduce Resistance 12 4

5 Antibiotic Stewardship Saves Lives! Patient harms from antibiotic overuse include Colonization and/or infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms Increased adverse drug events and drug interactions Risk of serious diarrheal infections from Clostridium difficile 13 Antibiotic Stewardship: Where? Agriculture Acute Care Hospitals Nursing Homes Dentists Pharmacies Dialysis Centers Patients Outpatient Clinics Ambulatory Surgery Centers Urgent Care Centers Doctors Offices Home Health 14 Antibiotic Prescribing Up to 70% of long term care facility residents receive one or more antibiotics every year 40-75% of antibiotics prescribed in nursing homes may be unnecessary or inappropriate Antibiotic-related complications can be more severe among 65+ year old patients

6 Antibiotic Stewardship: Who? Prescribers/Doctors Nurses Pharmacists Infection Preventionists Information Technology Microbiology Lab Administrators Patients, Families, Communities, etc. 16 Antibiotic Stewardship: How? CDC s Core Elements: Hospitals & NHs 1. Leadership Commitment 2. Accountability 3. Drug Expertise 4. Action 5. Tracking 6. Reporting 7. Education CDC s Core Elements: Outpatient 1. Commitment 2. Action 3. Tracking & Reporting 4. Education & Expertise CDC Core Elements for Antibiotic Stewardship in Nursing Homes 1.

14 Sepsis: An Overview Complication caused by the body s overwhelming and life-threatening response to infection Can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and/or death Medical Emergency! Severe Sepsis = Acute organ dysfunction secondary to documented or suspected infection Septic Shock = Severe sepsis plus hypotension not reversed with fluid resuscitation Sepsis: Risk Factors Age (over 65 or under 1 years old) Weakened immune system Chronic medical conditions People who have suffered burns, trauma, or have wounds People with catheters HQI Resident and Family Guide to Understanding Sepsis 41 Sepsis Symptoms * No single sign or symptom Minnesota Hospital Association and HQI Seeing Sepsis Toolkit 42 14

18 BUT.. Stewardship = Don t use antibiotics! Sepsis = Start antibiotics promptly! 52 BUT.. Stewardship = Don t use antibiotics! = Use antibiotics appropriately! Sepsis = Start antibiotics promptly! 53 Stewardship and Sepsis: A Harmonious Relationship Stewardship policies with direct sepsis connections: 54 Require documentation of dose, duration, and indication Helps ensure antibiotics can be modified as needed based on additional laboratory and clinical information Develop facility-specific treatment recommendations Based on local susceptibilities Perform antibiotic time outs Can the spectrum of the antibiotic be narrowed (deescalation)? 18

19 Stewardship and Sepsis A Lit Review. Searched for publications linking antibiotic stewardship and sepsis Majority studied sepsis-associated mortality Inappropriate empiric treatment increases mortality De-escalation lowers or does not affect mortality Antibiotic stewardship program lowers or does not affect mortality 55 Appropriate Empiric Treatment Adequate [antibiotic] treatment prior to ICU was a protective factor for mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Our efforts should be directed to assure the correct administration [of] antibiotics before ICU admission in patients with sepsis. Garnacho-Montero et al. Adequate antibiotic therapy prior to ICU admission in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock reduces hospital mortality. CritCare Aug 27;19: Antibiotic Time-Out Few true BSIs are detected after more than 48 hours of culture incubation. Clinicians may adjust empirical antibiotic coverage at this time with little risk for subsequent bacterial pathogen detection. Pardo et al. Time to positivity of blood cultures supports antibiotic deescalation at 48 hours. Ann Pharmacother Jan;48(1):

20 De-Escalation Antibiotic de-escalation therapy has no detrimental impact on mortality in patients with severe sepsis and/or septic shock, as compared to the continuation of broadspectrum antibiotics. Since de-escalation affords an opportunity to limit overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics, it should be considered as an option in clinical practice. Guoet al. De-escalation of empiric antibiotics in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock: A meta-analysis. Heart Lung Sep-Oct;45(5): Integrate Antibiotic Stewardship Current deescalationpractices reflect physician reluctance when dealing with complicated, sicker patients or with drug-resistance or fungal sepsis. Integrating an antibiotic stewardship program may increase physician confidence and provide support towards increasing deescalation rates. Salahuddinet al. Determinants of DeescalationFailure in Critically Ill Patients with Sepsis: A Prospective Cohort Study. CritCare Res Pract. 2016;2016: Antibiotic Stewardship Helps Prevent Sepsis! Patients run an 80% higher chance of developing sepsis or septic shock after taking high-risk antibiotics in the hospital Sepsis risk is elevated regardless of which antibiotic are used Longer therapeutic courses are associated with higher sepsis incidence Regardless of the antibiotic used, patients on antibiotics >14 days had a 2-fold risk of developing sepsis Baggset al.
