1 Guess or get it right? Antimicrobial prescribing in the 21 st century Robert Masterton

2 Traditional Treatment Paradigm Conservative start with workhorse antibiotics Reserve more potent drugs for non-responders 2

3 New Treatment Paradigm Hit hard and early with appropriate antibiotic(s) Short treatment duration De-escalate escalate where possible 3

4 The Effect of the Traditional Approach Inappropriate therapy (%) Community-acquired infection Hospital-acquired infection Hospital-acquired after prior therapy for community-acquired Kollef et al. Chest 1999;115:

7 What is the new treatment paradigm? Start with the appropriate empiric antibiotic first in nosocomial infections If appropriate, change antibiotic dosage or therapy based on resistance and pathogen information Recognise that prior antimicrobial administration is a risk factor for the presence of resistant pathogens Know the unit s s resistance profile and choose antibiotics accordingly Administer antibiotics at the right dose for the appropriate duration 7

8 Where are we now? What do we know about de-escalation? escalation? What do we know about individual organism/condition settings? What do we know about the best way to use the new treatment paradigm? 8

9 What De-escalation escalation means. Start with broad spectrum appropriate agent Stop if infection unlikely Change to a narrower spectrum agent Use single rather than multiple agents Shorten the course of therapy as much as possible 9 Vidaur. Resp Care 2005, 50:

10 De-escalation escalation in VAP Change of therapy was documented in 56.2% De-escalation escalation = 31.4% (increasing to 38% if isolates were sensitive) De-escalation mortality rate lower than those who continued initial regimen (18% vs 43%; p<0.05) Inappropriate antibiotic therapy = 9% of cases and associated with 14.4% excess mortality De-escalation escalation lower (p <.05) with nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli (2.7% vs. 49.3%) and in late- onset pneumonia (12.5% vs. 40.7%) When the pathogen remained unknown, half of the patients died and de-escalation escalation was not performed 10 Rello J, et al. Crit Care Med 2004;32:

11 De-escalation escalation in Practice Mortality % De-escalated (n=88) No change (n=245) Escalated (n=61) 11 % Patterns of Modification Quinolone Ureido/Mono Cefepime Carbapenem Kollef MH. Chest 2006; 129:

12 Guidelines and De-escalation escalation 12 ICU imipenem-based regimen After D3, therapy based on susceptibility results Better empirical cover (81 vs 46%; p<0.01) No change in imipenem resistance rates Soo Hoo et al. Chest 2005;128:

35 Conclusions 35 What we know: Getting it right first time in serious sepsis is proven Treatment must be guided by local data The new paradigm is just a part of sepsis management The new paradigm saves lives and money What we do not know Where does the new paradigm not work How can the new paradigm best be implemented What is the full picture of benefits realisation against the new paradigm
