To determine rates of late-onset infection (LOI) during postnatal days 3-7 among preterm infants, based on antibiotic exposure during days 0-2.
Retrospective cohort study of infants born <1500 grams and ≤30 weeks gestation, 2005-2018. We analyzed the incidence and microbiology of LOI at days 3-7 based on antibiotic exposure during postnatal days 0-2.
The cohort included 88,574 infants, of whom 85% were antibiotic-exposed. Fewer antibiotic-exposed compared to unexposed infants developed LOI (1.5% vs. 2.1%; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.28, 95% CI 0.24-0.33). Among antibiotic-exposed compared to unexposed infants, Gram-negative (38% vs. 28%, p = 0.002) and fungal (11% vs. 1%, p < 0.001) species were more commonly isolated, and gram-positive organisms (49% vs. 70%, p < 0.001) were less commonly isolated.
We observed low overall rates of LOI at days 3-7 after birth, but antibiotic exposure from birth was associated with lower rates, and with differing microbiology, compared to no exposure.
根据出生后第 0-2 天的抗生素使用情况,确定早产儿出生后第 3-7 天的迟发性感染(LOI)发生率。
对 2005 年至 2018 年间出生体重<1500 克且胎龄≤30 周的婴儿进行回顾性队列研究。我们根据出生后第 0-2 天的抗生素使用情况,分析第 3-7 天 LOI 的发生率和微生物学情况。
该队列包括 88574 名婴儿,其中 85%接受了抗生素治疗。与未接受抗生素治疗的婴儿相比,接受抗生素治疗的婴儿发生 LOI 的比例较低(1.5%比 2.1%;调整后的危险比为 0.28,95%CI 0.24-0.33)。与未接受抗生素治疗的婴儿相比,接受抗生素治疗的婴儿中革兰氏阴性(38%比 28%,p=0.002)和真菌(11%比 1%,p<0.001)的分离率更高,而革兰氏阳性菌(49%比 70%,p<0.001)的分离率更低。
我们观察到出生后第 3-7 天 LOI 的总体发生率较低,但与无暴露相比,出生时的抗生素暴露与较低的发生率和不同的微生物学特征相关。
