Abstract
Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis prophylaxis (SBPPr)-related practices are evolving, with recent studies showing almost half of potential subjects not being initiated on it.
Aim: Determine practice dilemmas regarding SBPPr among US-based hepatology providers.
Method: A questionnaire regarding primary and secondary SBPPr using quantitative and qualitative (open-ended) approaches was sent to US-based hepatology providers electronically.
Results: 113 clinicians (86% physicians, 73% academic centers) responded. 54% started Primary and 72% secondary SBPPr in 50% of eligible patients. However, the issues related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and ineffectiveness lead to SBPPr usage variations and restrictions on a patient-specific basis. Most respondents (>70%) would withdraw/not initiate SBPPr with data regarding ineffectiveness and harms. Open-ended answers showed that most believed newer trials to reduce reliance on weaker older evidence are needed.
Conclusion: A survey of US-based hepatologists demonstrates a major dilemma between usual care of initiating SBPPr versus not initiating/withdrawing SBPPr that needs newer randomized trials.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology (CTG), published on behalf of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), is a peer-reviewed open access online journal dedicated to innovative clinical work in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. CTG hopes to fulfill an unmet need for clinicians and scientists by welcoming novel cohort studies, early-phase clinical trials, qualitative and quantitative epidemiologic research, hypothesis-generating research, studies of novel mechanisms and methodologies including public health interventions, and integration of approaches across organs and disciplines. CTG also welcomes hypothesis-generating small studies, methods papers, and translational research with clear applications to human physiology or disease.
