Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis prophylaxis (SBPPr)-related practices are evolving, with recent studies showing almost half of potential subjects not being initiated on it. Determine practice dilemmas regarding SBPPr among US-based hepatology providers.
A questionnaire regarding primary and secondary SBPPr using quantitative and qualitative (open-ended) approaches was sent to US-based hepatology providers electronically.
A total of 113 clinicians (86% physicians, 73% academic centers) responded. 54% started Primary and 72% secondary SBPPr in 50% of eligible patients. However, the issues related to antimicrobial resistance and ineffectiveness lead to SBPPr usage variations and restrictions on a patient-specific basis. Most respondents (>70%) would withdraw/not initiate SBPPr with data regarding ineffectiveness and harms. Open-ended answers showed that most believed newer trials to reduce reliance on weaker older evidence are needed.
A survey of US-based hepatologists demonstrates a major dilemma between usual care of initiating SBPPr versus not initiating/withdrawing SBPPr that needs newer randomized trials.
自发性细菌性腹膜炎预防(SBPPr)相关的做法正在不断演变,最近的研究表明,几乎有一半的潜在受试者未开始接受该预防措施。确定美国肝病学提供者在SBPPr方面的实践困境。
通过定量和定性(开放式)方法,以电子方式向美国肝病学提供者发送了一份关于原发性和继发性SBPPr的调查问卷。
共有113名临床医生(86%为医生,73%来自学术中心)做出了回应。54%的医生在50%符合条件的患者中开始了原发性SBPPr,72%的医生开始了继发性SBPPr。然而,与抗菌药物耐药性和无效性相关的问题导致SBPPr的使用存在差异,并根据患者具体情况受到限制。大多数受访者(>70%)在有无效性和危害数据的情况下会停用/不开始使用SBPPr。开放式回答表明,大多数人认为需要进行更新的试验,以减少对较旧的、不太有力证据的数据依赖。
对美国肝病学家的一项调查表明,在开始进行SBPPr的常规治疗与不开始/停用SBPPr之间存在重大困境,这需要更新的随机试验。
