The importance of infectious disease specialists consulting on a weekly basis in a Japanese tertiary care hospital: A retrospective observational study
Limited data are available regarding part-time infectious disease consultations (IDCs) and their importance in tertiary care teaching hospitals in Japan. This is a retrospective review of IDCs from June 2016 to March 2021 and describes IDC services provided by part-time infectious disease specialist...

description | Limited data are available regarding part-time infectious disease consultations (IDCs) and their importance in tertiary care teaching hospitals in Japan. This is a retrospective review of IDCs from June 2016 to March 2021 and describes IDC services provided by part-time infectious disease specialists once a week for 4 hours, and their impact on the quality of medical care, including antimicrobial stewardship. Data, such as the requesting department, requesting reasons, and final diagnoses, were analyzed. In April 2018, part-time infectious disease specialists launched consultation services and attended an antimicrobial stewardship team conference. Meropenem, tazobactam/piperacillin, and cefepime monthly days of therapy (DOT) were calculated to assess the effect of each intervention; a pre-post analysis was conducted using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Additional quality improvement (QI) projects related to infectious diseases were implemented. There were 237 IDCs during the study period. Consultations were mostly requested by the General Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Cardiology departments. The most common diagnoses were bone/joint, respiratory, and genitourinary infections. Infectious disease services, even on a part-time basis, achieve good outcomes in patient management, antimicrobial stewardship, and QI projects. DOT/1000 patient-days were reduced for meropenem and cefepime, while it increased for tazobactam/piperacillin. The DOT/1000 patient-days for the 3-antipseudomonal agents significantly decreased during this period. After implementing the QI tetanus vaccination project in the Emergency Room, the number of tetanus toxoid vaccinations per month increased. |
