High Burden of Antimicrobial Resistance and Mortality Among Adults and Children With Community-Onset Bacterial Infections in India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In India, antimicrobial consumption is high, yet systematically collected data on the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of antimicrobial-resistant infections are limited.

Methods

A prospective study of adults and children hospitalized for acute febrile illness was conducted between August 2013 and December 2015. In-hospital outcomes were recorded, and logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors of community-onset antimicrobial-resistant infections.

Results

Among 1524 patients hospitalized with acute febrile illness, 133 isolates were found among 115 patients with community-onset infections; 66 isolates (50.0%) were multidrug resistant and, of 33 isolates tested for carbapenem susceptibility, 12 (36%) were resistant. Multidrug-resistant infections were associated with recent antecedent antibiotic use (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-19.7) and were independently associated with mortality (aOR, 6.06; 95% CI, 1.2-55.7).

Conclusion

We found a high burden of community-onset antimicrobial-resistant infection among patients with acute febrile illness in India. Multidrug-resistant infection was associated with prior antibiotic use and an increased risk of mortality.

Project description:BackgroundThe growing spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is accepted as a threat to humans, animals and the environment. This threat is considered to be both country specific and global, with bacteria resistant to antibiotic treatment geographically dispersed. Despite this, we have very few Australian estimates available that use national surveillance data supplemented with measures of risk, to generate reliable and actionable measures of AMR impact. These data are essential to direct policies and programs and support equitable healthcare resource utilisation. Importantly, such data can lead to implementation of programs to improved morbidity and mortality of patients with a resistant infection.MethodsUsing data from a previous case-cohort study, we estimated the AMR-associated health and economic impact caused by five hospital-associated AMR pathogens (Enterococcus spp., E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus) in patients with a bloodstream, urinary tract, or respiratory tract infection in Australia in 2020. We estimated disease burden based on the counterfactual scenario in which all AMR infections were replaced by no infection.We used a population-level simulation model to compute AMR-associated mortality, loss of quality-adjusted life years and costs.FindingsIn 2020, there were 1,031 AMR-associated deaths (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 294, 2,615) from the five resistant hospital-associated infections in Australia. The greatest odds of dying were from respiratory infections (ceftazidime-resistant P. aeruginosa) and bloodstream infections, both resulting in high hospital and premature death costs. MRSA bacteraemia contributed the most to hospital costs (measured as bed-days) as patients with this infection resulted in additional 12,818 (95% UI 7246, 19966) hospital bed-days and cost the hospitals an extra $24,366,741 (95%UI $13,774,548, $37,954,686) per year. However, the cost of premature death from five resistant pathogens was $438,543,052, which was by far greater than the total hospital cost ($71,988,858). We estimate a loss of 27,705 quality-adjusted life years due to the five AMR pathogens.InterpretationThese are the first Australian estimates of AMR-associated health and economic impact. Country-level estimates of AMR impact are needed to provide local evidence to better inform programs and health policies to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with infection. The burden in hospital is likely an underestimate of the impact of AMR due to community-associated infections where data are limited, and the AMR burden is high. This should now be the focus of future study in this area.FundingTMW was supported by the Australian Partnership for Preparedness Research on Infectious Disease Emergencies (APPRISE) (grant number GNT1116530) Fellowship.

Project description:ImportanceAssessment of the quality of initial care is necessary to target priority actions that can reduce the still high morbidity and mortality due to community-onset severe bacterial infections (COSBIs) among children.ObjectiveTo study the prevalence, characteristics, and determinants of suboptimal care in the initial management of COSBIs.Design, setting, and participantsThis prospective, population-based, cohort study and confidential enquiry was conducted between August 2009 and January 2014 in western France, a region accounting for 15% of the French pediatric population (1 968 474 children aged 1 month to 16 years) and including 6 pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and 35 emergency departments. Participants included all children aged 1 month to 16 years who died before PICU admission or were admitted to a PICU with a COSBI (ie, bacterial sepsis, including meningitis, purpura fulminans, and pulmonary, osteoarticular, intra-abdominal, cardiac, and soft-tissue severe infections). Data were analyzed from March to June 2020.ExposuresSuboptimal care determined according to evaluation of 8 types of care: (1) the delay in seeking care by family, (2) the physician's evaluation of severity, (3) the patient's referral at the first consultation with signs of severity, (4) the timing and (5) dosage of antibiotic treatment, (6) the timing and (7) volume of fluid bolus administration, and (8) the clinical reassessment after fluid bolus.Main outcomes and measuresTwo experts assessed the quality of care before death or PICU admission as optimal, possibly suboptimal, or certainly suboptimal. The consequences and determinants of certainly suboptimal care were identified with multinomial logistic regression and generalized linear mixed models.ResultsOf the 259 children included (median [IQR] age, 24 [6-66] months; 143 boys [55.2%]), 27 (10.4%) died, and 25 (9.6%) had severe sequelae at PICU discharge. The quality of care was certainly suboptimal in 89 cases (34.4%). Suboptimal care was more frequent in children with sequelae (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.61; 95% CI, 1.19-26.36) and less frequent in children who died (aOR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.04-0.65) vs those surviving without sequelae. Factors independently associated with suboptimal care were age younger than 5 years (aOR, 3.15; 95% CI, 1.25-7.90), diagnosis of sepsis with no source (aOR, 5.77; 95% CI, 1.64-20.30) or meningitis (aOR, 3.39; 95% CI, 1.15-9.96) vs other severe infections, and care by a primary care physician (aOR, 3.22; 95% CI, 1.17-8.88) vs a pediatric hospital service.Conclusions and relevanceThis study found that suboptimal care is frequent in the initial management of COSBI and is associated with severe sequelae. The paradoxical association with reduced risk of death may be explained by an insufficient adjustment on bacterial or host intrinsic factors. Management could be optimized by improving the quality of primary care, especially for young children.

Project description:The concept of healthcare-associated infections (as opposed to hospital-acquired infections) in intraabdominal infections (IAIs) is scarcely supported by data in the literature. The aim of the present study was to analyse community-onset IAIs (non-postoperative/non-nosocomial) in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs), to investigate differences in resistance patterns linked to healthcare exposure and mortality-associated factors. A one-year prospective observational study (17 Spanish ICUs) was performed distributing cases as healthcare-associated infections (HCAI), community-acquired infections (CAI) and immunocompromised patients (ICP). Bacteria producing extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBL) and/or carbapenemase (CPE), high-level aminoglycoside- and/or methicillin- and/or vancomycin- resistance were considered antimicrobial resistant (AMR). Mortality-associated factors were identified by regression multivariate analysis. Of 345 patients included (18.8% HCAI, 6.1% ICP, 75.1% CAI), 51.6% presented generalized peritonitis; 32.5% were >75 years (55.4% among HCAI). Overall, 11.0% cases presented AMR (7.0% ESBL- and/or CPE), being significantly higher in HCAI (35.4%) vs. CAI (5.8%) (p<0.001) vs. ICP (0%) (p = 0.003). Overall 30-day mortality was 14.5%: 23.1% for HCAI and 11.6% for CAI (p = 0.016). Mortality (R2 = 0.262, p = 0.021) was positively associated with age >75 years (OR = 6.67, 95%CI = 2.56-17.36,p<0.001), Candida isolation (OR = 3.05, 95%CI = 1.18-7.87,p = 0.022), and SAPS II (per-point, OR = 1.08, 95%CI = 1.05-1.11, p<0.001) and negatively with biliary infections (OR = 0.06, 95%CI = 0.01-0.48,p = 0.008). In this study, the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacteria isolated from patients with healthcare contact was shifted to resistance, suggesting the need for consideration of the healthcare category (not including hospital-acquired infections) for severe IAIs. 30-day mortality was positively related with age >75 years, severity and Candida isolation but not with AMR.
