Abstract
Background: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was previously established as a method that can increase the pathogen identification rate in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP).
Research question: What is the impact on clinical outcomes of mNGS of BAL fluid (BALF) in patients with SCAP in the ICU?
Study design and methods: A multicenter randomized controlled open-label clinical trial was conducted in 10 ICUs. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo BALF assessment with conventional microbiological tests (CMTs) only (ie, the CMT group) or BALF assessment with both mNGS and CMTs (ie, the mNGS group). The primary outcome was the time to clinical improvement, defined as the time from randomization to either an improvement of two points on a six-category ordinal scale or discharge from the ICU, whichever occurred first.
Results: A total of 349 patients were randomized to treatment between January 1, 2021, and November 18, 2022; 170 were assigned to the CMT group and 179 to the mNGS group. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the time to clinical improvement was better in the mNGS group than in the CMT group (10 days vs 13 days; difference, -2.0 days; 95% CI, -3.0 to 0.0 days). Similar results were obtained in the per-protocol analysis. The proportion of patients with clinical improvement within 14 days was significantly higher in the mNGS group (62.0%) than in the CMT group (46.5%). There was no significant difference in other secondary outcomes.
Interpretation: We found that compared with the use of CMTs alone, mNGS combined with CMTs reduced the time to clinical improvement for patients with SCAP.
