Topics
• The case for Antimicrobial Stewardship
• Define and Discuss Data for ASPs
• Examples of Stewardship
Magnitude of Antibiotic Use
• antibiotics are the second most commonly used
class of drugs in the US ($8 billion/yr)
• 60% of children admitted to freestanding
children’s hospitals receive antibiotics
• 50% of antibiotic use is inappropriate
Anti-infective use in US Hospitals
Hoffman et al. Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2012 Mar 1;69(5):405-21
Total outpatient antibacterial use in the United States and 27 European countries in 2004
(total use for Greece, Iceland, and Bulgaria, 2002 data for Poland, and 2003 data for Italy).

Adverse effects of Antibiotic use
• antibiotics are the most common cause of ED
visits for adverse drug events in children
• use drives resistance
• antibiotic-resistant infections:
– $20 billion in excess healthcare costs
– $35 billion in societal costs
– 8 million additional hospital days
Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic Resistance
• CDC described antibiotic resistance as "one of the
world's most pressing health problems”
• the WHO has identified antibiotic resistance as "one
of the three greatest threats to human health."
Resistance Aside …
• 5%–25% diarrhea
• 1 in 1000 visit emergency department for
adverse effect of antibiotic
– comparable to insulin, warfarin, and digoxin
• 1 in 4000 chance that an antibiotic will
prevent serious complication from URI

Antibiotics in early life alter the murine
colonic microbiome and adiposity
• Mice fed subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics exhibited:
– Increased adiposity
– Increased hormone levels related to metabolism
– Taxonomic changes of microbiome
– Changes in copies of key genes involved in
metabolism of carbohydrates to short-chain fatty
acids
– Alterations in hepatic metabolism of lipids and
cholesterol
– Increase in colonic levels of short chain fatty acids

Topics
• The case for Antimicrobial Stewardship
• Define and Discuss Data for ASPs
• Examples of Stewardship
Antimicrobial Stewardship: Definition
• “optimal selection, dosage, and duration
of antimicrobial treatment that results in
the best clinical outcome for the treatment
or prevention of infection with minimal
toxicity to the patient and minimal impact
on subsequent resistance”
Owens RC, Pharmacotherapy 2004
Antimicrobial Stewardship
ASP
• a quality improvement initiative proven in
multiple, peer-reviewed studies to:
• improve patient outcomes
• shorten length of stay
• reduce Clostridium difficile infection rates
• reduce antimicrobial resistance
• save money
Antimicrobial Stewardship
ASP
• recommended by: CDC, IDSA, SIS, AAP, PIDS
Key Elements for Successful ASP
•
•
•
•
establish compelling need and goals
senior leadership support
effective local physician champion
adequate resources
–
–
–
–
pharmacy
infection prevention & control
clinical labs (microbiology/virology)
information technology
• agreed upon process and outcome measures
Principles of Judicious Antimicrobial Use
•
•
•
•
•
evidence based empiric tx
early/aggressive tx
narrow when organism isolated
stop if infection unlikely
limit duration for established infections
based upon current evidence
Antibiotic Strategies to Reduce
Antibiotic Resistance
• Blast them: use > 1 antimicrobial to prevent the
emergence of resistance
• Fool them
– Antibiotic cycling or rotation
– Multi-drug resistance and ability of antibiotics to cross
select resistance
• Stop irritating them – reduce our antibiotic use to the
bare minimum necessary to safely treat our patients
Rice LB. CID 2008
Shorter Durations of Therapy
• Knowledge about duration of therapy limited
• Traveler’s diarrhea: recommendation is for 3
days (but 1 d appears equally effective)
• UTI in young females: 1-3 days
• Community-acquired pneumonia
– “Minimum of 5 days, afebrile for 48-72
hours, clinically stable
• Intra-abdominal infection
• 5-7 days
Rice LB, CID 2008

Surgical Antimicrobial Prophylaxis
• surgical AMP is used to reduce the
microbial burden of skin colonization
that may contribute to intraoperative
contamination
• 2nd most common Healthcare
Associated Infection (HAI)
• SSIs cause harm, prolong
hospitalizations, can cause
readmissions, and can increases
mortality rate
• Prophylaxis; not treatment
When appropriately used, AMP
reduces SSI rate by 50-70%

Surgical Wound Classes
I. Clean: An uninfected operative wound in which no
inflammation is encountered and the respiratory, alimentary,
genital, or uninfected urinary tracts are not entered
II. Clean-Contaminated: Operative wounds in which the
respiratory, alimentary, genital, or urinary tracts are entered
under controlled conditions and without unusual contamination
III. Contaminated: Open, fresh, accidental wounds;
operations with major breaks in sterile technique or gross
spillage from GI tract, and incisions in which acute, nonpurulent
inflammation is encountered
IV. Dirty or Infected: Includes old traumatic wounds with
retained devitalized tissue and those that involve existing clinical
infection or perforated viscera
Antimicrobial Prophylaxis: Timing
Goal is to have peak antibiotic
serum/tissue levels at the time of
incision.
Therefore, complete antibiotic infusion
0 - 60 minutes prior to incision
 Start 0-60 minutes prior to
incision for agents with brief
infusion times
 Start 60-120 minutes prior to
incision for vancomycin and
fluoroquinolones
For longer procedures or with
excessive blood loss, antibiotic(s)
may require intraop re-dosing
Antimicrobial Choice
Staphylococcus aureus is most common cause of SSI
Cefazolin has activity against most strains of S.
aureus; therefore, Cefazolin is the empiric choice for
most procedures
However, Cefazolin may not always be the appropriate
choice…
1. procedures involving organs with alternate or
additional colonizing bacteria (e.g. GI tract)
2. patients with cephalosporin allergy
3. patients known to be colonized with resistant
bacteria

Intra-abdominal Infections: duration
• antimicrobial tx of established infection should
be limited to 4–7 days, unless difficult to
achieve adequate source control
Intra-abdominal Infections: prophylaxis
• acute appendicitis without evidence of
perforation, abscess, or local peritonitis requires
only prophylactic administration of narrow
spectrum regimens; treatment should be
discontinued within 24h
Topics
• The case for Antimicrobial Stewardship
• Define and Discuss Data for ASPs
• Examples of Stewardship: PRIMARY CARE
Antimicrobial Stewardship
• Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs
recommended for hospitals
• most antibiotic use (and misuse) occurs in
the outpatient setting
• is outpatient “stewardship” achievable?

Antibiotic Prescribing for Sick Visits
Excluding: preventive visits, CCC
Standardized by: age, sex, age-sex, race, Medicaid
Broad Antibiotic Prescribing
Excluding: preventive visits, CCC, antibiotic allergy, prior antibiotics
Standardized by: age, sex, age-sex, race, Medicaid
Broad Antibiotics for Sinusitis
Excluding: preventive visits, CCC, antibiotic allergy, prior antibiotics
Standardized by: age, sex, age-sex, race, Medicaid
Summary: Outpatient Variability
• antibiotic prescribing at sick visits varies
significantly across practice sites
• broad-spectrum antibiotic prescribing at sick
visits varies significantly across practice sites
• adherence to prescribing guidelines for AOM,
sinusitis, GAS pharyngitis, and pna varies
significantly across practice sites
Study Design
• cluster-randomized controlled trial
• bundled intervention vs. no intervention
• unit of observation will be the practitioner
but randomized at practice level
– natural distribution of physicians
– avoids intra-practice contamination
Intervention
1. guideline development
2. education
3. prescribing audit and feedback

History of Antimicrobial Use
History of Antimicrobial Use
•
2000 B.C.
– “Here, eat this root.”
•
1000 A.D.
– “That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.”
•
1850 A.D.
– “That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.”
• 1940 A.D.
– “That potion is snake oil. Here, take this penicillin; it’s a
miracle drug.”
• 1985 A.D.
– “Penicillin is worthless. Here, take this new antibiotic; it’s
bigger and better.”
• 2000 A.D.
– “Those antibiotics don’t work any more. Here eat this root.”
Summary/Future Directions
• ASPs improve outcomes, reduce use, and
save money. Probably reduce resistance.
• ASP requires coordinated team effort,
administrative support, and DATA
• Pediatric surgery and primary care are
potential targets for ASP; look at the data
