Data from the Improving Outcomes and Antibiotic Stewardship for Patients with Bloodstream Infections: Accelerate PhenoTest™ BC Kit (AXDX) Registry Study were analysed to determine the impact of rapid organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for Gram-positive bacteraemia.
This multicentre, quasi-experimental study evaluated clinical and antimicrobial stewardship metrics following the implementation of AXDX. Data from hospitalized patients with bacteraemia were compared between groups, one that underwent testing on AXDX (post-AXDX) and one that underwent traditional identification and AST (pre-AXDX). An analysis of patients with Gram-positive bacteraemia was performed. The primary outcome was time to optimal therapy (TTOT). Secondary outcomes included time to first antibiotic modification (overall and Gram-positive), duration of unnecessary MRSA coverage, incidence of adverse events, length of stay and mortality.
A total of 219 (109 pre-AXDX, 110 post-AXDX) patients with Gram-positive bacteraemia were included. Median TTOT was 36.3 h (IQR, 16.9-56.7) in the pre-AXDX group and 20.4 h (IQR, 7.5-36.7) in the post-AXDX group (P = 0.01). Compared with pre-AXDX, median time to first antibiotic modification (29.1 versus 15.9 h; P = 0.002), time to first Gram-positive antibiotic modification (33.2 versus 17.2 h; P = 0.003) and median duration of unnecessary MRSA coverage (58.4 versus 29.7 h; P = 0.04) were reduced post-AXDX. A trend towards decreased acute kidney injury (24% versus 13%; P = 0.06) was observed in the post-AXDX group. Groups did not differ in other secondary outcomes.
Implementation of AXDX testing for patients with Gram-positive bacteraemia shortened the TTOT and reduced unnecessary antibiotic exposure due to faster antibiotic modifications.
对来自于改善血流感染患者的临床结果和抗生素管理:加速表型检测 BC 试剂盒(AXDX)注册研究的数据进行了分析,以确定革兰阳性菌菌血症中快速鉴定和药敏检测(AST)对其的影响。
这项多中心、准实验研究评估了 AXDX 实施后的临床和抗生素管理指标。比较了接受 AXDX 检测(AXDX 后)和接受传统鉴定和 AST 检测(AXDX 前)的菌血症住院患者的数据。对革兰阳性菌菌血症患者进行了分析。主要结局是最佳治疗时间(TTOT)。次要结局包括首次抗生素调整时间(整体和革兰阳性菌)、不必要的 MRSA 覆盖时间、不良事件发生率、住院时间和死亡率。
共纳入 219 例(AXDX 前 109 例,AXDX 后 110 例)革兰阳性菌菌血症患者。AXDX 前组 TTOT 的中位数为 36.3 小时(IQR,16.9-56.7),AXDX 后组为 20.4 小时(IQR,7.5-36.7)(P=0.01)。与 AXDX 前组相比,AXDX 后组首次抗生素调整时间(29.1 比 15.9 小时;P=0.002)、首次革兰阳性菌抗生素调整时间(33.2 比 17.2 小时;P=0.003)和不必要的 MRSA 覆盖时间中位数(58.4 比 29.7 小时;P=0.04)均有所缩短。AXDX 后组急性肾损伤发生率呈下降趋势(24%比 13%;P=0.06)。两组在其他次要结局上无差异。
对革兰阳性菌菌血症患者实施 AXDX 检测可缩短 TTOT,并通过更快的抗生素调整减少不必要的抗生素暴露。
