Scores for risk prediction used in immunocompetent patients with sepsis or pneumonia are poorly evaluated in immunocompromised patients. Therefore, we evaluated the prognostic value of the qSOFA- and CRB-65-criteria in immunocompromised patients presenting with pneumonia.Retrospective cohort study including consecutive patients hospitalized with pneumonia and immunosuppression without treatment restrictions. The qSOFA and CRB-65 criteria were documented in the emergency department. Outcome was defined as need of mechanical ventilation (MV) or vasopressor support (VS) and/or hospital-mortality.41 of 198 (21%) patients reached the outcome and 10% died. Both, the CRB-65 and qSOFA- were independently associated with the outcome (all p0.01), but age was not predictive. ROC curve analysis showed moderate predictive potential for both scores (CRB-65: AUC 0.63 and qSOFA: 0.69). With scores of 0, the negative predictive values were below 90% (CRB-65: 9/60 and qSOFA: 12/105 missed patients). With scores1, the positive predictive values were 36% (CRB-65) and 58% (qSOFA), respectively.Both, the qSOFA and the CRB-65 only showed moderate prognostic value, and negative predictive values were inadequate to exclude organ failure or death in patients with immunosuppression. In this population, age was not a predictive parameter. Patients with1 positive vital sign criterion measured by both scores should be assessed for organ failure.

Zusammenfassung Einleitung Die Implantation eines pleuralen getunnelten Dauerkatheters (indwelling pleural catheter = IPC) stellt bei symptomatischen rezidivierenden benignen und malignen Pleuraergüssen (BPE und MPE) neben einer Pleurodese eine weitere etablierte Therapiemethode dar.Zur Sicherheit des IPC, insbesondere zu Pneumothorax und Katheterinfektionen, existierten wenige Studien.Ziel unserer Untersuchung war, die Komplikationshäufigkeit nach IPC-Anlage und deren prädiktive Faktoren bei Patienten mit BPE vs. MPE zu ermitteln. Methoden Retrospektive Analyse aller IPC-Implantationen im Bereich Pneumologie am Universitätsklinikum Dresden im Zeitraum von 2015 – 2018. Ergebnisse Bei 86 Patienten (je 43 m/f; Alter 66,9 ± 13,3 Jahre) wurde bei symptomatischem BPE und MPE ein IPC implantiert. Ein BPE bzw. MPE bestand bei 12,8 % (11/86) bzw. 87,2 % (75/86) der Erkrankten.Als Sofortkomplikation nach IPC-Anlage war bei 43/86 (50 %) Patienten ein meist kleiner, asymptomatischer Pneumothorax nachweisbar. 34/43 (79 %) Patienten bedurften diesbezüglich keiner spezifischen Therapie. Bei 9/43 war ein IPC-Sog im Median über 3 Tage erforderlich. 8/43 Patienten wiesen einen großen Pneumothorax mit partieller/kompletter Regredienz im Median nach 2 Tagen auf.Bei 15,1 % (13/86) der Gesamtgruppe und 36,4 % (4/11) der BPE vs. 12 % (9/75) der MPE kam es im Median nach 87 (BPE/MPE 116/87) Tagen zu einer Katheterinfektion. Diese war bei BPE (p = 0,035), großem Pneumothorax (4/8 Patienten; p = 0,015) und längerer Katheterverweildauer (124 ± 112 vs. 71 ± 112 Tage; p = 0,07) häufiger. Schlussfolgerung Kleine Pneumothoraces sind häufig nach IPC-Implantation, bedürfen aber meist keiner spezifischen Therapie. Bei 15,1 % aller Patienten war im Median nach 87 Tagen eine Katheterinfektion nachweisbar. Diese trat häufiger bei BPE, längerer Katheterverweildauer und großen Pneumothoraces auf.

Background Although blood cultures (BCs) are the "gold standard" for detecting bacteremia, the utility of BCs in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is controversial. This study describes the proportion of patients with CAP and afebrile bacteremia and identifies the clinical characteristics predicting the necessity for BCs in patients who are afebrile. Methods Bacteremia rates were determined in 4,349 patients with CAP enrolled in the multinational cohort study The Competence Network of Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAPNETZ) and stratified by presence of fever at first patient contact. Independent predictors of bacteremia in patients who were afebrile were determined using logistic regression analysis. Results Bacteremic pneumonia was present in 190 of 2,116 patients who were febrile (8.9%), 101 of 2,149 patients who were afebrile (4.7%), and one of 23 patients with hypothermia (4.3%). Bacteremia rates increased with the CURB-65 score from 3.5% in patients with CURB-65 score of 0 to 17.1% in patients with CURB-65 score of 4. Patients with afebrile bacteremia exhibited the highest 28-day mortality rate (9.9%). Positive pneumococcal urinary antigen test (adjusted OR [AOR], 4.6; 95% CI, 2.6-8.2), C-reactive protein level > 200 mg/L (AOR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.9-5.2), and BUN level ≥ 30 mg/dL (AOR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.9-5.3) were independent positive predictors, and antibiotic pretreatment (AOR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1-0.6) was an independent negative predictor of bacteremia in patients who were afebrile. Conclusions A relevant proportion of patients with bacteremic CAP was afebrile. These patients had an increased mortality rate compared with patients with febrile bacteremia or nonbacteremic pneumonia. Therefore, the relevance of fever as an indicator for BC necessity merits reconsideration.

Current risk stratification in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) does not incorporate the dynamic nature of CAP evolution. Study aim was to evaluate the predictive value of early blood pressure (BP) drop and its consideration within the CRB-65 score. We performed a retrospective cohort study including consecutive adult hospitalized CAP patients 2013–2014 without documented treatment limitations or direct ICU admission. The CRB-65 score was calculated initially and re-calculated including any BP below the threshold (BP drop) within the first 24 h (CRB-65[BP24]). The primary endpoint was need for mechanical ventilation or vasopressors (MVVS) occurring after 24 h. Prognostic values were evaluated by uni- and multivariate and ROC curve analyses. 28/294 patients (9.5%) met the primary endpoint. Only 3 (11%) of them showed an initial BP of

ZusammenfassungMukoviszidose (Cystic Fibrosis, CF) ist die häufigste, autosomal-rezessiv vererbte Multisystemerkrankung. In Deutschland sind ca. 8000 Menschen betroffen. Die Erkrankung wird durch Mutationen im Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR-) Gen verursacht; diese führen zu einer Fehlfunktion des Chloridkanals CFTR. Dadurch kommt es in den Atemwegen zu einer unzureichenden Hydrierung des epithelialen Flüssigkeitsfilms und somit zu einer chronischen Inflammation. Rezidivierende Infektionen der Atemwege sowie pulmonale Exazerbationen der Lunge führen im Verlauf zu zunehmender Inflammation, pulmonaler Fibrose und fortschreitender Lungendestruktion bis hin zur respiratorischen Globalinsuffizienz, die für über 90 % der Mortalität verantwortlich ist. Das Ziel der medikamentösen Therapie ist die pulmonale Inflammation und v. a. die Infektion der Atemwege zu reduzieren. Der Kolonisation und chronischen Infektion mit Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) kommt die größte Bedeutung zu. Diese führt zu weiterem Verlust an Lungenfunktion. Für die medikamentöse Therapie der chronischen Pa-Infektion stehen viele unterschiedliche Therapieoptionen zur Verfügung.Mit dieser S3-Leitlinie wird eine einheitliche Definition für die chronische Pa-Infektion implementiert sowie eine evidenzbasierte Diagnostik und Therapie dargelegt, um eine Orientierung bei der individuellen Therapieentscheidung zu geben.

Mukoviszidose (zystische Fibrose, CF) ist eine der haufigsten autosomal-rezessiv vererbten Erkrankungen der kaukasischen Bevolkerung. Der genetische Defekt im CFTR-Gen fuhrt zu einer Verringerung des Chloridionentransports an der Zellmembran. Die resultierende Dehydrierung des epithelialen Flussigkeitsfilms bedingt ihrerseits eine Reduktion der Sekret-Clearance. Die Folge ist eine Multiorganerkrankung. Die pulmonale Manifestation mit chronischen Infektionen und der Inflammation ist hierbei die dominierende Todesursache. Akute und chronische Infektion mit Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) konnen zu einem Abfall in der Lungenfunktion fuhren und sich direkt negativ auf die Uberlebenswahrscheinlichkeit auswirken. Die Entwicklung der ersten klinischen S3-Leitlinie fur die Mukoviszidose hat das Ziel, die Diagnostik und Therapie bei einem ersten Nachweis von PA in Deutschland, Osterreich und der Schweiz zu vereinheitlichen und zu optimieren. Zugleich sollen Impulse fur weitere Forschungsaktivitaten und Leitlinienentwicklungen gegeben werden. Auf der Grundlage eines Cochrane-Reviews wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche im Zeitraum von 1995 bis November 2011 (Update September 2014) durchgefuhrt. Von den 286 resultierenden Originalarbeiten wurden 6 randomisierte klinische Studien und 8 weitere Eradikationsstudien niedrigerer Evidenz als relevant identifiziert und ausgewertet. Experten aus 13 wissenschaftlich-medizinischen Fachgesellschaften und Verbanden pruften anhand dieser Originalarbeiten und unter Zuhilfenahme von nationalen und internationalen Leitlinien und Konsensuspapieren die Evidenz als Grundlage fur die Formulierung von 36 Empfehlungen in einem nominalen Gruppenprozess. Die Auswertung der Eradikationsstudien zeigt, dass eine fruhe antibiotische Eradikationstherapie fur Patienten mit CF effektiv ist. Welches Therapieregime am erfolgversprechendsten ist, kann aufgrund von zu wenigen Daten aus vergleichenden Untersuchungen nicht entschieden werden. Nach Auswertung aller Hinweise konnten jedoch die folgenden Kernempfehlungen getroffen werden: Die fruhe Eradikation sollte mittels Tobramycin inhalativ fur 4 Wochen oder mittels Ciprofloxacin p.o., kombiniert mit Colistin inhalativ uber 3 Wochen, durchgefuhrt werden. Fur den Fall, dass eine Inhalation nicht moglich ist, sollte eine i.v.-Kombinationstherapie als Moglichkeit in Betracht gezogen werden. Falls eine Therapie mit inhalativen und oralen Antibiotika nicht zur Eradikation fuhrt, sollte eine Kombinationstherapie aus i.v.-Antibiotika und inhalativem Colistin durchgefuhrt werden. Bei einer pulmonalen Exazerbation und erstem Nachweis von PA wird eine sequenzielle Kombination aus i.v.- und inhalativem Antibiotikum empfohlen. Die fruhe Eradikationstherapie von PA bei Mukoviszidose ist effektiv und kann nach der vorliegenden Leitlinie durchgefuhrt werden. Es konnte in den vorliegenden Studien keine Uberlegenheit eines Therapieregimes gezeigt werden. Weitere vergleichende sowie Studien zur Beteiligung der oberen Atemwege sollten in Zukunft durchgefuhrt werden.

Background: In patients without diabetes (DM) hyperglycemia is associated with high mortality from community-acquired pneumonia(CAP). Hyperglycemia, however, is a common condition among patients with DM and preexisting hyperglycemia should be accounted for in studies of a possible association between hyperglycemia and mortality in patients with DM. Aim: To investigate the association between the glycemic gap (the difference between admission hyperglycemia and the estimated average glucose (EAG)) and 90-day mortality. Methods: A prospective cohort study. EAG was derived from hemoglobin A1c. The absolute-glycemic gap was defined as; “admittance blood glucose - EAG“. The proportional glycemic-gap was defined as; “((admittance blood glucose/EAG)*100)-100”. The association between the absolute-glycemic gap and the proportional-glycemic gap and 90-day mortality was assessed with Cox proportional hazard model. We categorized the proportional-glycemic gap according to quartiles. Results: 1933 adults were included. The absolute-glycemic-gap was not associated with an increased risk for 90-day mortality, HR 1.02 (95% CI 0.93-1.11). Compared to the 2nd quartile, the 1st and 4th proportional-glycemic gap quartile was associated with a higher risk with HR 2.7 (95% CI 1.11-6.65) and HR 2.5 (95% CI 1.05-5.69), respectively. No interaction between DM and the proportional-glycemic gap or the absolute-glycemic gap was found (p=0.82 and p=0.25, respectively). Conclusion: Patients with the lowest and highest proportional-glycemic gap had the highest risk for 90-day mortality and it was not modified by DM. The proportional-glycemic gap might be incorporated into future risk assessment tools for CAP.

Summary Rationale Optimal risk prediction of early clinical deterioration in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains unresolved. We prospectively examined the predictive value of the new biomarkers copeptin and proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in comparison to clinical scores and inflammatory markers to predict early high risk prognosis in CAP. Methods 51 consecutive hospitalised adult patients were enrolled. We measured CRB-65- and PSI-scores, the ATS/IDSA 2007 minor criteria to predict ICU-admission and the biomarkers CRP, procalcitonin, copeptin and MR-proADM on admission. Predefined outcome parameters were combined mortality or ICU-admission after 7 days and clinical instability after 72 h. Results Copeptin was the only biomarker significantly elevated in patients with either adverse short term outcome ( p = 0.003). According to ROC-curve analysis, copeptin predicted ICU admission or death within 7 days (AUC 0.81, cut-off 35 pmol/l: sensitivity 78%, specificity 79%) and persistent clinical instability after 72 h (AUC 0.74). In Kaplan-Meier-analysis patients with high copeptin showed lower ICU-free survival within 7 days ( p = 0.001). The diagnostic accuracy of copeptin was superior to the CRB-65 score and comparable to the PSI-score and the ATS/IDSA minor criteria. If copeptin was included as additional minor criterion for combined 7-day mortality or ICU-admission, the diagnostic accuracy of the minor criteria was significantly improved ( p = 0.045). Conclusion Copeptin predicts early deterioration and persistent clinical instability in hospitalised CAP and improves the predictive properties of existing clinical scores. It should be evaluated within a biomarker guided strategy for early identification of high risk CAP patients who most likely benefit from early intensified management strategies.

Objectives Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with a high risk of respiratory failure or septic organ dysfunction. Lactate is an established early marker of prognosis and sepsis severity, but few data exist in patients with CAP. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of consecutive adult CAP patients without treatment restrictions or direct intensive care unit admission. Lactate was measured as a point-of-care test within the capillary admission blood gas analysis, and its prognostic value was compared to the CRB/CURB-65 criteria by multivariate and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The primary endpoint was the combination of need for mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, intensive care unit admission or hospital mortality. Results Of 303 included patients, 75 (25%) met the primary endpoint. After ROC analysis, lactate predicted the primary endpoint (area under the curve 0.67) with an optimal cutoff of >1.8 mmol/L. Of the 76 patients with lactate above this threshold, 35 (46%) met the primary endpoint. After multivariate analysis, the predictive value of lactate was independent of the CRB/CURB-65 scores. The addition of lactate >1.8 mmol/L to the CRB/CURB-65 scores resulted in significantly improved area under the curves (0.69 to 0.74, p 0.005 and 0.71 to 0.75, p 0.008 respectively). Fourteen (42%) of 33 and 11 (39%) of 28 patients meeting the endpoint despite presenting with 0 or 1 CRB/CURB-65 criteria had lactate >1.8 mmol/L. Conclusions Admission lactate levels significantly improved the prognostic value of the CRB/CURB-65 scores in CAP patients. Lactate may therefore be considered a rapid, cheap and broadly available additional criterion for the assessment of risk in patients with CAP.

The aim of our study was to prospectively examine adrenal function, including cosyntropin stimulation, and its prognostic value in patients with moderate community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). 59 consecutive adult patients hospitalised on normal wards because of CAP were enrolled. A cosyntropin stimulation test was performed and serum concentrations of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor-α, ACTH, cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS) were measured. Predefined outcome parameters were clinical instability after 72 h, mortality and combined intensive care unit (ICU) admission or mortality. Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) occurred in six patients (10.3%). Cortisol, age-corrected DHEA, ACTH and the DHEA/DHEAS ratio were elevated in patients remaining unstable after 72 h. In multivariate analysis, cortisol (p = 0.03), ACTH (p = 0.04) and the pneumonia severity index (PSI) score (p = 0.005) independently predicted clinical instability after 72 h, and only cortisol predicted mortality (p = 0.04) and combined ICU-admission or mortality (p = 0.006). The predictive value of serum cortisol after receiver operating characteristic curve analysis equalled that of the PSI score. Patients with serum cortisol >734 nmol·L(-1) had a high probability for mortality (OR 38.3; p = 0.002). CIRCI is rare in patients with moderate CAP. Adrenal function is related to the prognosis of CAP. The diagnostic accuracy of serum cortisol equals that of the PSI score. Serum cortisol should be evaluated within clinical prediction scores on larger studies.

Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine - Abstract
Das durchschnittliche Lebensalter von Patienten mit Cystischer Fibrose hat in den letzten Jahren deutlich zugenommen und liegt aktuell bei uber 40 Jahren. Die stabileren klinischen Verlaufe und das hohere Lebensalter bedingen in der CF-Betreuung vermehrt Aspekte der Lebens- und Familienplanung. Wir mochten exemplarisch uber die Erfahrung mit einigen Schwangerschaften an unserem Universitatsmukoviszidosezentrum fur Kinder und Erwachsene berichten. Die Schwerpunkte sollen dabei auf dem lungenfunktionellen Verlauf, den infektiologischen Besonderheiten und der perioperativen Betreuung liegen. Die forcierte 1-Sekundenkapazitat (FEV1) lag bei 6 Schwangeren im ersten Trimenon zwischen 47% und 64% des Solls. Im letzten Trimenon der Schwangerschaft wurden FEV1-Werte zwischen 18% und 63% bestimmt. Im Sputum der Patientinnen wurden mulitresistente Pseudomonas aeruginosa und MRSA, Bukhholderia cepacia complex, zweimal Pseudomonas aeruginosa sowie Mund- und Rachflora nachgewiesen. Es erfolgten resistenzgerechte Antibiotikatherapien insbesondere vor und wahrend des geplanten Geburtstermins und eine intensive Atem- und Physiotherapie. Die Antibiotika wurden unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer resistenzgerechten und minimal embryotoxischen Therapie ausgesucht. In der ersten Phase der Schwangerschaft wurde versucht, auf systemische Antibiotikatherapien weitestgehend zu verzichten. Inhalative Antibiotikatherapien mit Colistin und Aztreonamlysin wurden unverandert fortgesetzt. Von sechs Schwangeren konnten zwei spontan entbinden, dreimalig erfolgte die primare Sectio caesarea und einmalig die sekundare Sectio ceasarea bei Beckenendlage. Alle Kinder waren zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt wohlauf und wiesen keine Fehlbildungen auf. Die weitere Betreuung von Mutter und Kind erfolgte bei funf von sechs Patientinnen in unserer Klinik, bei einer Mutter auf Wunsch wohnortnah.

International audience; BACKGROUND: How elevated temperature is generated during airway infections represents a hitherto unresolved physiological question. We hypothesized that innate immune defence mechanisms would increase luminal airway temperature during pulmonary infection. METHODS: We determined the temperature in the exhaled air of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. To further test our hypothesis, a pouch inflammatory model using neutrophil elastase-deficient mice was employed. Next, the impact of temperature changes on the dominant CF pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth was tested by plating method and RNAseq. RESULTS: Here we show a temperature of ~38°C in neutrophil-dominated mucus plugs of chronically infected CF patients and implicate neutrophil elastase:α1-proteinase inhibitor complex formation as a relevant mechanism for the local temperature rise. Gene expression of the main pathogen in CF, P. aeruginosa, under anaerobic conditions at 38°C vs 30°C revealed increased virulence traits and characteristic cell wall changes. CONCLUSION: Neutrophil elastase mediates increase in airway temperature, which may contribute to P. aeruginosa selection during the course of chronic infection in CF.
