1 (+)Kathy Shaw, MD, FACEP Associate Chair and PSO, Department of Pediatrics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Nicolas Crognale Endowed Chair and Chief, Division of Enmergency Medicine, Children's Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Advanced Pediatric Emergency Medicine Assembly March New York, NY Best Practice UTI The 2011 guidelines that were published in Pediatrics recommended many changes in our approach to the child with a first febrile UTI. No longer are prophylactic antibiotics routinely recommended nor is admission to the hospital routine. The emergency medicine provider is now often responsible for orchestrating outpatient follow-up of these children. The AAP guidelines will be reviewed with particular emphasis on how emergency care including parental education is impacted. OBJECTIVES Describe emergency management of children with suspected UTI including who is at risk Outline how to counsel parents about future steps for their child with a UTI Discuss need for follow-up testing and referral including the role of ultrasound in the management of a child with a febrile UTI and when to order an outpatient VCUG 3/25/2015 4:45 PM-5:15 PM Sutton Complex WE-19 DISCLOSURES: (+) No significant financial relationships to disclose

3 Detecting UTI in Febrile Infants 2-24 months of age Symptoms - non-specific Other potential sources may be present Screening can be time consuming, uncomfortable, costly ED screening for UTI variable Overall Prevalence 2%-10% in most studies Detecting UTI in Febrile Infants 2-24 months of age Why worry? UTI Morbidity Urosepsis: Life threatening but rare beyond neonatal period; associated with congenital abnormalities Febrile UTI = pyelonephritis (+nuclear scan 60-90%) Pyelonephritis renal scarring, (15%-50%) which may be associated with HT, ESRF Detection, early treatment, renal ultrasound, and F/U 2

4 Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment? DMSA results in the acute phase and day of treatment Doganis, D. et al. Pediatrics 2007;120:e922-e928 Copyright 2007 American Academy of Pediatrics Risk of End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) after pediatric UTI? Data from renal registries from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom Estimated Risk of ESRF: 1 in 154 to 1 in 199,900 Figures would be substantially higher if calculated for patients with febrile UTI There is considerable uncertainty in the relationship between childhood UTI and risk of ESRF based on the data currently available. Until further evidence is available clinicians will continue to debate the risk of UTI and ESRF and consensus opinion will continue to guide management. Round J, et al Acta Paediatr. 2012;101:

12 What prevalence or pre-test probability reaches the threshold for testing? At a UTI prevalence of 1-3% 67.5% of academicians and 45.7% of practitioners considered the yield sufficiently high to warrant urine culture. AAP Clinical Practice Guideline 2011 Annals of Emergency Medicine Editorial Response 2013 May;61(5):

13 Three Areas of Agreement (1) there is uncertainty about the relationship between childhood urinary tract infection and risk of renal scarring or end-stage renal failure according to the data currently available; (2) [p]ediatric urinary tract infection remains an important clinical entity, and attempts to identify and prevent sepsis and its sequelae, as in all infectious conditions, are critical ; (3) immediate screening of all infants who present to an ED for fever is not warranted according to current knowledge. Action Statement 2 Determine Likelihood of UTI If a clinician assesses a febrile infant with no apparent source for the fever as not being so ill as to require immediate antimicrobial therapy, then the clinician should assess the likelihood of UTI Action Statement 2a If the clinician determines the febrile infant to have a low likelihood of UTI, then clinical follow-up monitoring without testing is sufficient (evidence quality: A; strong recommendation). 12

14 Rational Approach Based on Evidence Screening Criteria Evidence More Information Action Statement 2b : For febrile infants at risk, options for screening urine Option 1 is to obtain a urine specimen through catheterization, or SPA for culture and urinalysis Option 2 is to obtain a urine specimen through the most convenient means and to perform a urinalysis. If the urinalysis results suggest a UTI (positive LE or test nitrite test UA positive for leukocytes or bacteria), then a urine specimen should be obtained through catheterization or SPA and cultured; if urinalysis of fresh urine (<1 hour since void) is negative then it is reasonable to monitor the clinical course without initiating antimicrobial therapy, recognizing that negative UA/dipstick does not R/O UTI with certainty 13

15 CHOP UTI Screening Data Febrile Infants 2-24 months UTI Prevalence (using option 1) 1995 Universal Screening: 3 % 83% of eligible patients screened (no pathway or pre-test probability) 2012 Pathway Screening: 5% 73% of all febrile 2-24 month infants screened for UTI All by urethral catheritization Goal: Urinary Tract Infection Switching to Option 2 catheterizations in infants being evaluated for a UTI Rationale: Fever is a common emergency department (ED) complaint that may signify an occult bacterial infection, often requiring screening to rule out urinary tract infection (UTI). Catheterization has been the recommended way to screen for UTI in children that are not toilet trained. A retrospective review revealed that 73% of febrile patients were screened via catheterization, but 90% of them had both a negative screen and a negative culture. Target: Implement a new screening protocol using urine bags for the initial screen for infants 6 months to 24 months, with catheterizations used only when a screen was positive and needed to be sent for culture.

J Pediatr, August,

20 Action Statement 3 Definition of UTI To establish the diagnosis of UTI, clinicians should require both urinalysis results that suggest infection (pyuria and/or bacteriuria) and the presence of at least colonyforming units (CFUs) per ml of a uropathogen cultured from a urine specimen obtained through catheterization or SPA (evidence quality: C; recommendation). Treatment for Febrile UTI Empiric Treatment Urine Dipstick: Moderate (2+) LE or + Nitrite UA: >5WBC/hpf and bacteria CHECK CX: Half will be negative (PNP F/U) Fever and UTI = Pyelonephritis (consider admission <6 months) 2/3 of children with febrile UTI show kidney involvement on renal scans May be treated with oral antibiotics (2 vs 6 months?) Negative cultures at 24 hours, without increased reinfectons with IV cefotaxime vs oral cefixime Hoberman Peds 1999;104(1):79 19

21 Action Statement 4 : Treatment Action Statement 4a When initiating treatment, the clinician should base the choice of route of administration on practical considerations. Initiating treatment orally or parenterally is equally efficacious. The clinician should base the choice of agent on local antimicrobial sensitivity patterns (if available) and should adjust the choice according to sensitivity testing of the isolated uropathogen (evidence quality: A; strong recommendation). Action Statement 4b The clinician should choose 7 to 14 days as the duration of antimicrobial therapy (evidence quality: B; recommendation). Recommended Antitiotics 20

22 Antibiotic Sensitivities to E Coli at CHOP Ampicillin 51 Amp/Sulbactam 65 Cefazolin 90 Cefepime 99 Cefoxitin 96 Ceftazidime 98 Ceftriaxone 98 Ciprofloxacin 93 Gentamicin 94 Imipenem 100 Meropenem 100 Nitrofurantoin 96 Pip/Tazobacta 97 Tobramyci 95 Trimethoprim/Sulf 74 Urine CX + Do I have to have an Ultrasound and VCUG? 21

23 After the ED: Counseling the Parent RBUS Yes; VCUG probably not 5. Febrile infants with UTIs should undergo renal and bladder ultrasonography (RBUS) (evidence quality: C; recommendation). 6a. VCUG should not be performed routinely after the first febrile UTI; VCUG is indicated if RBUS reveals hydronephrosis, scarring, or other findings that would suggest either high-grade VUR or obstructive uropathy, as well as in other atypical or complex clinical circumstances (evidence quality B; recommendation). 6b. Further evaluation should be conducted if there is a recurrence of febrile UTI (evidence quality: X; recommendation). 7. After confirmation of UTI, the clinician should instruct parents or guardians to seek prompt medical evaluation (ideally within 48 hours) for future febrile illnesses, to ensure that recurrent infections can be detected and treated promptly (evidence quality: C; recommendation).
