Antibiotic Stewardship Related to Delayed Diagnosis and Poor Prognosis of Critically Ill Patients with Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcal Bacteremia: A Retrospective Cohort Study
PURPOSE: Patients with septicemia caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteremia have higher mortality rates than patients infected by VSE. Vancomycin or teicoplanin is selected as the antibiotic stewardship intervention to cover methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections b...

description | PURPOSE: Patients with septicemia caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteremia have higher mortality rates than patients infected by VSE. Vancomycin or teicoplanin is selected as the antibiotic stewardship intervention to cover methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections before blood culture reveals VRE bacteremia in critically ill patients with Gram-positive cocci (GPC) bacteremia; this may require linezolid or daptomycin treatment instead. We thus evaluated antibiotic stewardship practices, such as appropriate timing of antibiotic use in GPC bacteremia, and clinical outcomes of critically ill patients with VRE infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled 191 critically ill patients with enterococcal bacteremia at the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital during January 1, 2019–December 31, 2020. Demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as disease outcomes and appropriate antibiotic use after GPC bacteremia diagnosis, were compared between the VRE and VSE groups. RESULTS: Of 191 patients, 55 had VRE bacteremia (case group) and 136 had VSE bacteremia (control group). The rate of antibiotic change after initial antibiotic use for GPC bacteremia was higher in the VRE bacteremia group (100% vs 10.3%; p<0.001). The time to appropriate antibiotic administration after GPC bacteremia diagnosis was longer in the VRE bacteremia group (3.3±2.1 vs 1.5±1.8 days; p<0.001). Patients with VRE bacteremia had higher 28-day mortality rates (relative risk, 1.997; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.041–3.83). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that delayed appropriate antibiotic administration of >3 days after GPC bacteremia diagnosis increased the risks of 28-day all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.045; 95% CI, 1.089–3.84; p=0.026) in patients with VRE infection. CONCLUSION: Patients with VRE bacteremia with delayed appropriate antibiotic administration of >3 days after GPC bacteremia diagnosis had increased 28-day mortality risks. New strategies for early VRE detection in GPC bacteremia may shorten the time to administer appropriate antibiotics and lower mortality rates. |
