ObjectiveTo evaluate rational use of antibiotics for hernioplasty in perioperative period by intervention-control study in order to provide a foundation for the clinical antibiotic use and management. MethodsThe data of the preventive use of antibiotics for hernia patients from January to October, 2010 in perioperative period were collected and compared. Interventions on patients from January to October, 2011 were carried out. ResultsIn the intervention group, the first three antibiotics used were changed from azlocillin, mezlocillin and aztreonam before intervention to cefazolin, clindamycin and azlocillin after intervention. Before intervention, antibiotics were first used after surgery for surgical prophylaxis, while after intervention, antibiotics were first used within 30 minutes before surgery or at the start of induction of anesthesia. The preventive medication time decreased from (3.50±2.07) days to (0.88±1.07) days (t'=14.601, P=0.000), the hospitalization days of post-surgery decreased from (5.17±1.90) days to (3.77±1.61) days (t'=7.313, P=0.000), the cost of antibiotics decreased from (342.39±415.50) yuan to (54.08±80.83) yuan (t'=8.831, P=0.000), the percentage of the cost of antibiotics in expenses for medicine declined from (47.53±25.51)% to (12.49±13.46)% (t'=15.776, P=0.000), and the percentage of the cost of antibiotics in hospitalization expenses declined from (6.59±5.49)% to (1.07±1.35)% (t'=12.662, P=0.000). The difference in inappropriate use of antibiotic drugs before and after prevention, such as choice of preventive drugs, preoperative medication occasion, course of postoperative medication and no indication of drug combination, had statistical significances (P<0.05). ConclusionThe intervention-control study shows that the rational use of antibiotics for hernioplasty in perioperative period can be improved, and the average hospitalization days and the cost of antibiotics can be reduced by intervention.
Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical effect and safety of Bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets in the treatment of antibiotic associated diarrhea (ADD) in infants in China. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of treatment of AAD by Bifidobacterium tetravaccine in infants were searched by computer from China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, VIP and Wanfang Data from their inception to November 2016. Meta-analysis of the data was carried out by RevMan 5.3 software. Results Twelve RCTs were chosen, which included 1 761 infant patients. The Meta analysis showed that the effects of treatment of ADD were significantly superior to those of the control group [OR=5.74, 95%CI (4.14, 7.96),P<0.000 01]. Among the 12 RCTs, 8 had no adverse reactions, while the rest4 articles did not mention adverse reactions. Conclusions Based on the present clinical evidences, treatment of ADD by Bifidobacterium tetravaccine in infants is effective and safe. But due to the small number and different quality of RCTs, this conclusion still needs to be confirmed by large sample, multicenter, and high-quality clinical RCTs.
Objective To explore whether hospitalized elderly patients with severe communityacquired pneumonia ( SCAP) have better outcomes if they are treated with dual-therapy consisting of a β-lactam/macrolide or fluoroquinolone.Methods A prospective study was conducted in patients with SCAP aged 65 years or older between January 2007 and January 2012. These patients were assigned to a combination therapy group or a β-lactam monotherapy group by the attending physicians. Time to clinical stability( TCS) and total mortality were calculated. Prognostic factors for death were analyzed. Results Among the 232 patients, 153 patients were given β-lactam/macrolide or β-lactam/ fluoroquinolone ( macrolide in 67 patients and fluoroquinolone in 86) , while 79 were treated with β-lactam monotherapy. Compared with the monotherapy group, the combination therapy group was associated with significant decreased TCS ( median TCS, 10 days vs. 13 days) , and lower overall in-hospital mortality( 24.2% vs. 43.0%, P lt;0. 01) . Compared with fluoroquinolone, macrolide use was associated with lower ICU mortality ( 14.9% vs. 31.4% , P lt;0. 01) . Simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ, pneumonia severity index, mutilobar infiltration, and β-lactam monotherapy were confirmed as independent predictors of death. Conclusion β-lactam/macrolide or β-lactam/ fluoroquinolone combination therapy, especially with macrolide, has superiority over β-lactam monotherapy in elderly patients with SCAP, and should be recommended.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of antibiotics on the outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect cohort studies on efficacy of antibiotics on the outcomes of patients with NSCLC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors from inception to August 1st, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 27 cohort studies involving 7 087 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that antibiotic use was associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR=2.04, 95%CI 1.68 to 2.49, P<0.000 01) and progression free survival (PFS) (HR=1.63, 95%CI 1.35 to 1.99, P<0.000 01). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that antibiotic use is associated with poor OS and PFS. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
A model of infection following trarma was established by introducing B.staphyloecus aureus into the wound.In the exporimental anlmals,the intraoporative high regional concentration of antibiotics was adopted to prevent infection of the distal part of the limb of the rabbits,and those trcated with the conventional method were served as the control.The results showed that in the exporimental animals,not a single limb had developed infection,while in the control group,The tissue culture s...
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of antibiotic drug use in the outpatient department based on the special rectification activities of antibiotic drugs, identify the reasons for irrational use of antibiotic agents and propose the solutions. MethodsPrescription of antibiotic drugs were analyzed by a retrospective comparative analysis during April to June 2011, August to October 2011 and August to October 2012. ResultsPrescriptions of antibiotic drugs were 435 (36.25%), 367 (30.58%) and 223 (18.58%) during April to June 2011, August to October 2011 and August to October 2012, respectively, and the unreasonable prescriptions were 35 (2.92%), 27 (2.25%), and 14 (1.25%) respectively. ConclusionThere is a decreased tendency of prescription of antibiotic drugs in the outpatient department of our hospital because of the special rectification activities of antibiotic drugs. It is in accordance with antibiotic use rate of <20% target of "antibiotics in 2012 special rectification program" in hospital outpatient service. But there are some unreasonable phenomena in the use of antibiotics, and to promote the reasonable use of antibiotics, we should strengthen management.
ObjectiveTo overview of systematic reviews of the efficacy and safety of antimicrobials in the prevention of postpartum infection after vaginal delivery, and to provide evidence for the rational use of antimicrobials. MethodsThe CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to collect systematic reviews/meta-analyses on antibiotic prophylaxis for transvaginal delivery from inception to June 25, 2023. The data of the included systematic reviews were extracted by 2 investigators independently, and the methodological quality, risk of bias, and report quality were evaluated by AMSTAR 2.0 scale, ROBIS tool, and PRISMA, respectively. And a pool of outcomes for assessing the effectiveness of antimicrobials in prevention of postpartum infection after transvaginal delivery was developed. ResultsA total of 7 systematic reviews were included. And the AMSTAR 2.0 indicated that most studies (5/7) were from very low quality to low quality. The ROBIS tool showed 3 studies with low risk of bias, 3 with high risk of bias, and 1 with unclear risk of bias. The results of the PRISMA statement showed that the included system evaluation reports were relatively complete. The present evidence showed that prophylactic use of antimicrobials may be beneficial and recommended in women with Ⅲ-Ⅳ perineal fissures, with no significant benefit in women with manual placenta removal, but prophylactic use of antimicrobials was recommended considering their invasive nature, but it was controversial whether antimicrobials should be used in the categories of vaginal assisted delivery, perineal lateralization, and spontaneous delivery (without complications). ConclusionAntimicrobial prophylaxis may not be recommended for all the pregnant women undergoing vaginal delivery to prevent the postpartum infection, but considering the low methodological quality of the included systematic review and the inconsistent outcomes in this field, the conclusion should be further verified by future research with high-quality.
Objective To preliminarily understand the equipment configuration and information system function improvement of the microbiology laboratory for etiological submission before antibiotic treatment in Chinese medical institutions, and provide a scientific basis for further targeted action work on the rate of etiological submission before antibiotic treatment. Methods A network questionnaire was released in “Sentinel Hospital Information Reporting System of National Hospital Infection Management Professional Quality Control Center” between March 1 and June 21, 2022. The second-level and above hospitals were investigated. Results A total of 783 hospitals were included, of which 765 (97.7%) hospitals had been equipped with microbiology laboratory equipment to varying degrees, and the allocation rate of tertiary hospitals was higher than that of secondary hospitals (P<0.05). The top three items of common pathogenic test were aerobic (98.3%), bacterial smear (97.6%) and fungal smear (95.1%), and the last three items were streptococcus pneumoniae urine antigen (20.4%), silver hexamine staining (19.0%) and gene sequencing (8.9%). The comparison of relevant information system and function improvement among hospitals of different levels showed that tertiary hospitals were superior to secondary hospitals (P<0.05). In different regions, except for the allocation rate of nosocomial infection information monitoring system and rational drug use monitoring system (P>0.05), other relevant systems and functional improvement of hospitals in eastern, central and western regions, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The number of hospitals that could obtain the indicators of “etiological submission rate of inpatients before antibiotic treatment”“etiological submission rate related to hospital infection diagnosis”“etiological submission rate before combined use of key drugs” were 698 (89.1%), 474 (60.5%) and 337 (43.0%), respectively. Among the factors affecting the implementation of special actions, 454 hospitals (58.0%) thought that the information system was not fully functional, 341 hospitals (43.6%) thought that the etiology testing project was not fully carried out, and 148 hospitals (18.9%) thought that the microbiology laboratory testing ability was insufficient. Conclusion All kinds of hospitals at all levels in China, especially specialized and secondary hospitals, need to further improve the configuration of equipment and information system functions in the microorganism laboratory related to aetiology inspection, strengthen the support for microbial inspection, and strengthen information management, monitoring and analysis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of antimicrobial management program on inpatients outcomes and antimicrobial resistance among clinical isolates in a large-scaled university hospital.MethodsThe antibiotics use density (AUD) and antimicrobial resistance rate of multi-drug resistant bacteria before (from January 2009 to December 2010) and after (from January 2012 to December 2016) the intervention of antimicrobial management program in a large-scaled university hospital (4 300 beds) were calculated and compared, and the correlations of AUD with average length of hospital stay and mortality rate were analyzed.ResultsThe AUD was significantly decreased after intervention (P<0.001). The resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus to oxacillin decreased (P<0.001). Among Gram-negative bacteria, the resistance rates to carbapenems in Acinetobacter baumannii (P<0.001) and Klebsiella pneumoniae increased (P=0.011). AUD was not correlated with the average length of hospital stay (P=0.644), while positively correlated with the in-hospital mortality rate (r=0.932, P=0.001).ConclusionsThe implementation of antimicrobial management program can significantly reduce the antimicrobial use and do not worsen patient outcomes in the hospital. The impact of the program on resistance varies significantly depending on both the bacterium and the agent, and carbapenem-non-susceptible Gram-negative bacilli emerges as a major threat. It is still necessary to combine other infection control measures.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the relationship between the bacterial spectrum difference of gallbladder mucosa and choledochus bile and clinical prognosis of gallstone pancreatitis. MethodsA synchronic bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test were carried out on 48 patients with gallstone pancreatitis. ResultsThe cases of positive gallbladder mucosa and choledochus bile were 13 (27.1%) and 31 (64.6%) respectively. The cases of double positivity were 12 (25.0%). The cultural strains of gallbladder mucosa and choledochus bile were significantly different. Some strains were only found in choledochus bile，whereas in gallbladder mucosa L-form bacteria predominated.ConclusionThe most common causative strain of gallstone pancreatitis is Bacterium coli. The drug-resistant strain emerges maybe due to bacterium immigration and delitescence in gallbladder mucosa. L-form bacteria should be considered when using antibiotics, because L-form bacteria have close relationship with the prognosis of gallstone pancreatitis.
