Long-term effect of carbapenem preauthorization: an interrupted time-series study over 20 years
Background
Preauthorization of carbapenems is considered effective in reducing carbapenem overuse; however, long-term evaluations are lacking.
Aim
We aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of judicious carbapenem restriction over almost two decades in a tertiary teaching hospital in Japan.
Methods
Interrupted time-series (ITS) analysis was applied to investigate changes in the level and trend of antimicrobial use density (AUD) of carbapenems by comparing the pre-intervention (2004 and 2005) and intervention (2006–2023) periods. Furthermore, this study explored the relationship between carbapenem AUD in hospitalized patients, the mortality rate of hospital-acquired bacteraemia, and the prevalence of bacteraemia caused by antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogens.
Findings
The ITS analysis demonstrated remarkably significant reductions in the level change of carbapenem AUD following the preauthorization (−0.367 per 100 patient days (95% confidence interval (CI), −0.131 to −0.603; P=0.002). In addition, the trend shift was −0.014 per 100 patient days (95% CI, −0.001 to −0.028; P=0.048). Following the implementation of carbapenem preauthorization, no increase in the 28-day mortality due to nosocomial bacteraemia was observed. Significant positive correlations were found between carbapenem AUD and the prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (correlation coefficient (ρ) = 0.77 (P<0.001)), meropenem-resistant in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ρ = 0.85 (P<0.001)), and Acinetobacter baumannii (ρ = 0.80 (P<0.001)).
Conclusions
Long-term implementation of carbapenem preauthorization consistently proved to be effective with no adverse consequences for hospital epidemiology in a 20-year ITS analysis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hospital Infection is the editorially independent scientific publication of the Healthcare Infection Society. The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality research and information relating to infection prevention and control that is relevant to an international audience.
The Journal welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of infection prevention and control in healthcare settings. This includes submissions that:
provide new insight into the epidemiology, surveillance, or prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings;
provide new insight into cleaning, disinfection and decontamination;
provide new insight into the design of healthcare premises;
describe novel aspects of outbreaks of infection;
throw light on techniques for effective antimicrobial stewardship;
describe novel techniques (laboratory-based or point of care) for the detection of infection or antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare setting, particularly if these can be used to facilitate infection prevention and control;
improve understanding of the motivations of safe healthcare behaviour, or describe techniques for achieving behavioural and cultural change;
improve understanding of the use of IT systems in infection surveillance and prevention and control.
