Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding is strongly promoted by health authorities, but there is little research on whether health professionals provide best-practice care for women experiencing mastitis/breast abscess.

Research aim: To explore management of mastitis/breast abscess in hospital emergency departments (EDs).

Methods: Medical records of patients presented to hospital EDs in Australia, Brazil, Croatia, Germany and Türkiye with lactational mastitis/abscess between 2017 and 2023 were reviewed. Demographic and clinical information (including symptoms, management, and investigations) was extracted and analyzed.

Results: A total of 580 women with mastitis/breast abscess (646 Emergency Department presentations, mostly in the first 8 weeks postpartum) were identified during the study period. The majority of the women had symptoms of mastitis/breast abscess (breast pain, lump, and inflammation) for > 48 hours before presenting in the Emergency Department. In Australia, culture and sensitivity testing of milk was available for 44% (146/331) of presentations. S. aureus was the most common bacteria isolated (33%, n = 48), of which 6% (n = 3) were methicillin-resistant. The use of diagnostic ultrasound varied between sites, from 5% (3/65) in Croatia to 82% (40/49) in Germany. Breast abscesses were mostly managed by ultrasound-guided aspiration in Australia, whereas incision and drainage was standard care in Germany. Amoxicillin/clavulanate was most commonly prescribed in Croatia (57%, 31/54) and Türkiye (69%, 28/42), whereas flucloxacillin, cephalexin, or cefuroxime was primarily used in Australia (86%, 272/322), Brazil (62%, 66/106), or Germany (80%, 33/41), respectively.

Conclusions: The management of mastitis/breast abscess varied considerably between countries. International evidence-based guidelines for the management of lactational mastitis are urgently needed.

医院乳腺炎的管理:一项国际审计研究。
背景:卫生当局大力提倡母乳喂养,但很少有关于卫生专业人员是否为患有乳腺炎/乳房脓肿的妇女提供最佳实践护理的研究。研究目的:探讨医院急诊科乳腺炎/乳腺脓肿的处理方法。方法:回顾性分析2017年至2023年澳大利亚、巴西、克罗地亚、德国和捷克共和国医院急诊科收治的哺乳期乳腺炎/脓肿患者的病历。提取和分析人口统计学和临床信息(包括症状、管理和调查)。结果:在研究期间,共有580名患有乳腺炎/乳房脓肿的妇女(646例急诊科就诊,主要发生在产后前8周)被确定。大多数妇女在急诊科就诊前48小时内有乳腺炎/乳房脓肿症状(乳房疼痛、肿块和炎症)。在澳大利亚,对44%(146/331)的奶牛进行了培养和敏感性测试。金黄色葡萄球菌是最常见的分离细菌(33%,n = 48),其中6% (n = 3)对甲氧西林耐药。不同地区的超声诊断率不同,从克罗地亚的5%(3/65)到德国的82%(40/49)。在澳大利亚,乳房脓肿大多采用超声引导下的抽吸治疗,而在德国,切口引流是标准治疗。阿莫西林/克拉维酸盐在克罗地亚(57%,31/54)和斯里兰卡(69%,28/42)最常用,而氟氯西林、头孢氨苄或头孢呋辛主要在澳大利亚(86%,72/322)、巴西(62%,66/106)或德国(80%,33/41)使用。结论:不同国家对乳腺炎/乳腺脓肿的处理差异很大。迫切需要国际上以证据为基础的哺乳期乳腺炎管理指南。
