Association of antibiotics with the outcomes in COVID-19 pneumonia patients with elevated PCT levels
Objective
To assess antibiotics impact on outcomes in COVID-19 pneumonia patients with varying procalcitonin (PCT) levels.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 3665 COVID-19 pneumonia patients hospitalized at five Mayo Clinic sites (March 2020 to June 2022). PCT levels were measured at admission. Patients’ antibiotics use and outcomes were collected via the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Viral Infection and Respiratory Illness Universal Study (VIRUS) registry. Patients were stratified into high and low PCT groups based on the first available PCT result. The distinction between high and low PCT was demarcated at both 0.25 ng/ml and 0.50 ng/ml.
Results
Our cohort consisted of 3665 patients admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia. The population was predominantly male, Caucasian and non-Hispanic. With the PCT cut-off of 0.25 ng/ml, 2375 (64.8 %) patients had a PCT level <0.25 ng/mL, and 1290 (35.2 %) had PCT ≥0.25 ng/ml. While when the PCT cut off of 0.50 ng/ml was used we observed 2934 (80.05 %) patients with a PCT <0.50 ng/ml while 731(19.94 %) patients had a PCT ≥0.50 ng/ml. Patients with higher PCT levels exhibited significantly higher rates of bacterial infections (0.25 ng/ml cut-off: 4.2 % vs 7.9 %; 0.50 ng/ml cut-off: 4.6 % vs 9.2 %).
Antibiotics were used in 66.0 % of the cohort. Regardless of the PCT cutoffs, the antibiotics group showed increased hospital length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) admission rate, and mortality. However, early de-escalation (<24 h) of antibiotics correlated with reduced hospital LOS, ICU LOS, and mortality. These results were consistent even after adjusting for confounders.
Conclusion
Our study shows a substantial number of COVID-19 pneumonia patients received antibiotics despite a low incidence of bacterial infections. Therefore, antibiotics use in COVID pneumonia patients with PCT <0.5 in the absence of clinical evidence of bacterial infection has no beneficial effect.
期刊介绍：
Respiratory Medicine is an internationally-renowned journal devoted to the rapid publication of clinically-relevant respiratory medicine research. It combines cutting-edge original research with state-of-the-art reviews dealing with all aspects of respiratory diseases and therapeutic interventions. Topics include adult and paediatric medicine, epidemiology, immunology and cell biology, physiology, occupational disorders, and the role of allergens and pollutants.
Respiratory Medicine is increasingly the journal of choice for publication of phased trial work, commenting on effectiveness, dosage and methods of action.
