1 Antimicrbial Stewardship: Why, What, and Hw David P. Calfee, MD Teresa Lubwski, Pharm.D A partnership f the Healthcare Assciatin f New Yrk State and the Greater New Yrk Hspital Assciatin

2 Antimicrbial use is very cmmn Acute care hspitals Pint prevalence in 183 US hspitals: 51.9% 63.7% f patients in 70 US academic hspitals Lng-term care facilities Up t 70% f residents receive 1 r mre curses Outpatient settings millin curses f antibitics dispensed frm cmmunity pharmacies in prescriptins fr every 6 peple in the US Magill SS. N Engl J Med 2014; 370: Plk RE. Clin Infect Dis 2011;53: CDC

3 Antimicrbial therapy is assciated with several ptential cmplicatins Allergy Txicity Vascular access-related cmplicatins (infectin, thrmbsis) Alteratin f micrbime C. difficile infectin Antimicrbial resistance Patient-level prblem Scietal prblem

4 Antimicrbial resistance is a serius public health threat

5 Antimicrbial resistance is clsely assciated with antimicrbial use Neuhauser MM. JAMA 2003;289:885-8

6 Antibitic expsure is a majr risk factr fr carriage f and infectin with MDRO Cmparisn Antibitics within 3 mnths Odds Rati P value CRE vs uninfected cntrls CRE vs susceptible Enterbacteriaceae 12.3 <0.001 CRE vs ESBL MDRO: multidrug-resistant rganisms CRE: carbapenem-resistant Enterbacteriaceae ESBL: extended-spectrum β-lactamase-prducing Enterbacteriaceae Marchaim D. Infect Cntrl Hsp Epidemil 2012;33:817-30

7 Unnecessary and inapprpriate antimicrbial use alters the risk-t-benefit rati

8 Antimicrbial use is frequently unnecessary r inapprpriate Setting Unnecessary r Inapprpriate Use Acute care hspitals 30-50% Lng-term care facilities 25-75% Outpatient settings 30-50% Unnecessary: An antimicrbial agent is administered r prescribed when there is n indicatin fr antimicrbial therapy (e.g., giving an antibitic in the setting f a viral upper respiratry infectin) Inapprpriate: A prescribed antimicrbial agent is inapprpriate in selectin, dse, r duratin Hecker MT. Arch Intern Med 2003;163:972-8 Shaughnessy MK. Infect Cntrl Hsp Epidemil 2013;34: Fleming-Dutra K. JAMA 2016;315: CDC. MMWR Mrb Mrtal Wkly Rep 2011;60: Shapir DJ. J Antimicrb Chemther 2014;69:234-40

9 Antimicrbial use is frequently unnecessary r inapprpriate Unnecessary Use Treatment f syndrmes that are nt infectius in nature Administratin f antibacterial agents fr syndrmes caused by viruses Treatment f test results that represent clnizatin r cntaminatin, rather than infectin Inapprpriate Use Use f an agent with a spectrum f activity that is brader than necessary Prescriptin f dses that are either t high r t lw Use f an agent that des nt prvide activity against the bacteria causing disease Administering a curse f antibitic therapy r prphylaxis that is lnger than necessary

10 There are many reasns fr unnecessary and inapprpriate prescribing Insufficient knwledge and/r training Lack f cnfidence interpreting antibitic susceptibility testing results Lack f awareness f evidence-based guidelines Subptimal diagnstic testing and evaluatin Patient preference/demand Prir experience and anecdtes

11 Structured prgrams t imprve antimicrbial prescribing can imprve patient utcmes 78% f studies reprted imprvements in micrbial utcmes (i.e., antimicrbial resistance). 74% f studies reprted in imprvements in antimicrbial prescribing (use, selectin, timing, r duratin). 38% f studies that reprted patient utcmes reprted imprvement in at least ne utcme (e.g., mrtality, LOS, readmissin, C. difficile infectin). N studies reprted harms assciated with implementatin f these prgrams. Wagner B. Infect Cntrl Hsp Epidemil 2014;35:

12 Antibitic Stewardship- What it is Antibitic Stewardship is defined as, crdinated interventins designed t imprve and measure the apprpriate use f antibitic agents by prmting selectin f the ptimal drug regimen including dsing, duratin f therapy and rute f administratin. IDSA and SHEA Antimicrbial stewardship is a crdinated prgram that prmtes the apprpriate use f antimicrbials (including antibitics), imprves patient utcmes, reduces micrbial resistance, and decreases the spread f infectins caused by multidrug-resistant rganisms. APIC 12

13 Antibitic Stewardship- What it is The gals f antimicrbial stewardship prgrams include attenuating r reversing antimicrbial resistance, preventing antimicrbial related txicity, and reducing the csts f inapprpriate use and health care assciated infectins. ASHP Antibitic stewardship prgrams are multi-faceted appraches t ptimize antibitic prescribing, encmpassing cmpnents such as plicy, guidelines, surveillance, educatin, epidemilgy f current resistance, and prcess measurement. Successful antibitic stewardship prgrams mnitr and direct antimicrbial use, prviding a standard, evidence-based apprach t judicius antibitic use in a healthcare facility. AMA 13

15 Antibitic Stewardship Prgram Guidelines- IDSA and SHEA Summary Recmmendatins: ASPs shuld prmte allergy assessments and penicillin skin testing when apprpriate ASPs shuld implement guidelines and strategies t reduce antibitic therapy t the shrtest effective duratin. Suggest ASPs develp stratified antibigrams ASPs shuld recmmend selective and cascade reprting f antibitics ver reprting f all antibitics Suggest the use f rapid viral testing fr respiratry pathgens Suggest rapid diagnstic testing in additin t cnventinal culture and rutine reprting n bld specimens if cmbined with active ASP supprt and interpretatin. Suggest the use f serial PCT measurements in adults in ICUs t decrease antibitic use Suggest mnitring antibitic use as Days f Therapy in preference t Defined Daily Dse Measure antibitic csts based n prescriptins r administratin instead f purchasing data
