Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the commonest hospital-acquired infection (HAI) in intensive care. In Asia, VAP is increasingly caused by resistant gram-negative organisms. Despite the global antimicrobial resistance crisis, the epidemiology of VAP is poorly documented in Asia.
We systematically reviewed literature published on Ovid Medline, Embase Classic, and Embase from 1 January 1990 to 17 August 2017 to estimate incidence, prevalence, and etiology of VAP. We performed a meta-analysis to give pooled rates and rates by country income level.
Pooled incidence density of VAP was high in lower- and upper-middle-income countries and lower in high-income countries (18.5, 15.2, and 9.0 per 1000 ventilator-days, respectively). Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 3687 [26%]) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 3176 [22%]) were leading causes of VAP; Staphylococcus aureus caused 14% (n = 1999). Carbapenem resistance was common (57.1%).
VAP remains a common cause of HAI, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and antibiotic resistance is high.
呼吸机相关性肺炎(VAP)是重症监护病房中最常见的医院获得性感染(HAI)。在亚洲,VAP 越来越多地由耐药革兰氏阴性菌引起。尽管存在全球抗菌药物耐药性危机,但亚洲的 VAP 流行病学情况记录不佳。
我们系统地检索了 1990 年 1 月 1 日至 2017 年 8 月 17 日在 Ovid Medline、Embase Classic 和 Embase 上发表的文献,以估计 VAP 的发病率、患病率和病因。我们进行了荟萃分析,以给出汇总率和按国家收入水平的比率。
中低收入国家和高收入国家的 VAP 累积发病率密度较高(分别为 18.5、15.2 和 9.0 例/1000 机械通气日)。鲍曼不动杆菌(n = 3687 [26%])和铜绿假单胞菌(n = 3176 [22%])是 VAP 的主要病原体;金黄色葡萄球菌引起的 VAP 占 14%(n = 1999)。碳青霉烯类耐药很常见(57.1%)。
VAP 仍然是 HAI 的常见原因,特别是在中低收入国家,且抗生素耐药性很高。
