Abstract

Penicillin allergy is a significant burden on patient, prescribing and hospital outcomes. There has been increasing interest in the incorporation of penicillin allergy testing (i.e. delabelling) into antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programmes to reduce the burden of penicillin allergy labels and improve prescribing. In particular, there has been a focus on point‐of‐care penicillin allergy assessment and direct oral challenge for low‐risk phenotypes. The National Antibiotic Allergy Network has provided a guide to assist AMS clinicians with the incorporation of penicillin allergy programmes, in particular direct oral challenge, into Australian hospitals.

Abstract

Background: Oral amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid, a broad‐spectrum antimicrobial and one of the most commonly prescribed antimicrobials in Australia, has demonstrated poor prescribing guideline compliance and appropriateness. This may have inadvertent impacts on patient care and safety, from adverse drug reactions to antimicrobial resistance. Intravenous (IV) amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid was first registered in Australia in 2017, reflecting a subsequent and immediate increase in use. There is a need to assess the quality of such prescribing. Aim: To describe the quality of IV amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid prescriptions through assessing guideline compliance and appropriateness of use in Australian hospitals. Method: A retrospective data analysis of IV amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid prescriptions from the Hospital National Antimicrobial Prescribing Survey database between 2013 and 2021. The main outcomes measured were guideline compliance and appropriateness. Ethical approval was granted by the Melbourne Health Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/74195/MH‐2022). Results: The proportion of prescriptions for IV amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid, compared to all other antimicrobials, increased from 0.02% (2013) to 2.3% (2021). Guideline compliance and appropriateness have overall decreased (by 18.9% and 16.7%, respectively). Over time, national guidelines predominantly replaced local guidelines as the primary guideline source for prescribing. The most common reason for inappropriateness was unnecessarily broad spectrum of activity (39.5%). Conclusion: Intravenous amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid prescribing continues to increase throughout Australian hospitals, with notable reductions in guideline compliance and appropriateness. Since 2019, the increase in these outcomes coincided with updated national prescribing guidelines, evident by prescribers utilising national over local guidelines. These findings reinforce the concept that antimicrobial stewardship initiatives, including auditing, robust national guidelines and education, are crucial to optimise IV amoxicillin‐clavulanic acid prescribing.

Abstract

The WHO research agenda for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human health has identified 40 research priorities to be addressed by the year 2030. These priorities focus on bacterial and fungal pathogens of crucial importance in addressing AMR, including drug-resistant pathogens causing tuberculosis. These research priorities encompass the entire people-centred journey, covering prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections, in addition to addressing the overarching knowledge gaps in AMR epidemiology, burden and drivers, policies and regulations, and awareness and education. The research priorities were identified through a multistage process, starting with a comprehensive scoping review of knowledge gaps, with expert inputs gathered through a survey and open call. The priority setting involved a rigorous modified Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative approach, ensuring global representation and applicability of the findings. The ultimate goal of this research agenda is to encourage research and investment in the generation of evidence to better understand AMR dynamics and facilitate policy translation for reducing the burden and consequences of AMR.

Abstract

Background Many patients with hematological malignancy develop fever after chemotherapy/conditioning but before chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (preneutropenic fever [PNF]). The proportion of PNF with an infectious etiology is not well established. Methods We conducted a single-center, prospective observational substudy of PNF (neutrophils >0.5 cells/μL, ≥38.0°C) in adults receiving acute myeloid leukemia (AML) chemotherapy, or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) conditioning enrolled in a neutropenic fever randomized controlled trial between 1 January and 31 October 2018. Eligible patients had anticipated neutropenia ≥10 days and exclusions included concurrent infection and/or neutropenia prior to chemotherapy or conditioning. PNF rates and infections encountered were described. Associations between noninfectious etiologies and fever were explored. Antimicrobial therapy prescription across preneutropenic and neutropenic periods was examined. Results Of 62 consecutive patients included (43 allo-HCT, 19 AML), 27 had PNF (44%) and 5 (19%) had an infective cause. Among allo-HCT, PNF occurred in 14 of 17 (82%) who received thymoglobulin; only 1 of 14 (7%) had infection. During AML chemotherapy, 18 of 19 received cytarabine, of which 8 of 18 (44%) had PNF and 3 of 8 (38%) had infection. Most patients with PNF had antimicrobial therapy continued into the neutropenic period (19/27 [70%]). Those with PNF were more likely to be escalated to broader antimicrobial therapy at onset/during neutropenic fever (5/24 [21%] vs 2/30 [7%]). Conclusions Rates of PNF were high, and documented infection low, leading to prolonged and escalating antimicrobial therapy. In the absence of infection, early cessation of empiric therapy after PNF is recommended as an important stewardship intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the quality of antimicrobial prescribing among adult surgical inpatients besides exploring the determinants of non-compliance and inappropriate prescribing to inform stewardship activities. Methods: A cross-sectional point prevalence study employing Hospital National Antimicrobial Prescribing Survey (Hospital NAPS) was conducted in April 2019 at two teaching hospitals in Malaysia. Results: Among 566 surgical inpatients, 44.2% were receiving at least one antimicrobial, for a total of 339 prescriptions. Antimicrobials belonging to the World Health Organization's Watch group were observed in 57.8% of cases. Both hospitals exhibited similar types of antimicrobial treatments prescribed and administration routes. A significant difference in antimicrobial choice was observed between hospitals (p < 0.001). Hospital with electronic prescribing demonstrated better documentation practice (p < 0.001). Guidelines compliance, 32.8% (p = 0.952) and appropriateness, 55.2% (p = 0.561) did not significantly differ. The major contributors of inappropriateness were incorrect duration, (15%) and unnecessary broad-spectrum coverage, (15.6%). Non-compliance and inappropriate prescribing were found to be 2 to 4 times significantly higher with antimicrobial prophylaxis prescription compared to empirical therapy. Conclusion: Antimicrobial stewardship efforts to improve appropriate surgical prescribing are essential. These initiatives should prioritize surgical prophylaxis prescribing, focusing on reducing unnecessarily prolonged use and broadspectrum antimicrobials, raising awareness among prescribers and promoting proper documentation.

Abstract

Background Neutropenic fever (NF) is a common complication in patients receiving chemotherapy. Judicious antimicrobial use is paramount to minimize morbidity and mortality and to avoid antimicrobial-related harms. Objectives To use an Australian national dataset of antimicrobial prescriptions for the treatment of NF to describe antimicrobial use, prescription guideline compliance and appropriateness; and to compare these findings across different healthcare settings and patient demographics. We also aimed to identify trends and practice changes over time. Methods Data were extracted from the Hospital National Antimicrobial Prescribing Survey (Hospital NAPS) database from August 2013 to May 2022. Antimicrobial prescriptions with a NF indication were analysed for antimicrobial use, guideline compliance and appropriateness according to the Hospital NAPS methodology. Demographic factors, hospital classifications and disease characteristics were compared. Results A total of 2887 (n = 2441 adults, n = 441 paediatric) NF prescriptions from 254 health facilities were included. Piperacillin-tazobactam was the most prescribed antimicrobial. Overall, 87.4% of prescriptions were appropriate. Piperacillin-tazobactam and cefepime had the highest appropriateness though incorrect piperacillin-tazobactam dosing was observed. Lower appropriateness was identified for meropenem, vancomycin, and gentamicin prescribing particularly in the private hospital and paediatric cohorts. The most common reasons for inappropriate prescribing were spectrum too broad, incorrect dosing or frequency, and incorrect duration. Conclusions This study provides insights into antimicrobial prescribing practices for NF in Australia. We have identified three key areas for improvement: piperacillin-tazobactam dosing, paediatric NF prescribing and private hospital NF prescribing. Findings from this study will inform the updated Australian and New Zealand consensus guidelines for the management of neutropenic fever in patients with cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
