Objectives: Patients' perspectives on outcomes of clinical trials is critical to the design of meaningful trials. As they are the primary recipients of treatment, it is important to focus on outcomes that are of value to the patients. We planned a study involving patients in defining and prioritizing endpoints for intervention trials for bloodstream infections (BSI).

Methods: A survey was conducted at Rambam Health Care Campus, targeting hospitalized patients over 18 years old. Participants were asked to score the importance of various outcomes on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being most important. We calculated the mean and median and dispersion measures per outcome.

Results: 732 randomly selected patients were approached; 378 were not available due to technical reasons. Of the remaining 354 approached to take the survey, 300 consented and participated in the study. The median age was 51.9 years, with 55.3% female. Death was scored as the most important outcome, while the length of hospital stay was the least important.

Conclusions: Eliciting patient views on outcome importance was challenging but revealed key insights. Patients prioritized death, functional decline, and the development of secondary infections. Non-clinical outcomes, such as microbiological failure, were less clearly understood. Future studies should focus on clinical outcomes and include larger, more diverse patient populations to enhance the relevance of BSI trials.

目的:患者对临床试验结果的看法对于设计有意义的试验至关重要。由于患者是治疗的主要接受者,因此必须关注对患者有价值的结果。我们计划开展一项研究,让患者参与确定血流感染(BSI)干预试验的终点和优先次序:方法:我们在兰巴姆医疗保健园区针对 18 岁以上的住院患者进行了一项调查。要求参与者对各种结果的重要性进行打分,分值从 1 到 10,10 为最重要。我们计算了每个结果的平均值、中位数和离散度:我们随机选取了 732 名患者,其中 378 名患者因技术原因无法参加问卷调查。在剩下的 354 名接受调查的患者中,有 300 人同意并参与了研究。中位年龄为 51.9 岁,女性占 55.3%。死亡是最重要的结果,而住院时间则是最不重要的结果:结论:征求患者对结果重要性的看法具有挑战性,但揭示了关键的见解。患者优先考虑死亡、功能衰退和继发感染。至于非临床结果,如微生物学失败,则不太清楚。未来的研究应重点关注临床结果,并纳入更多、更多样化的患者群体,以提高 BSI 试验的相关性。

Background: Maintaining access to a broad range of old and new antibiotics is increasingly difficult due to supply, market and demand issues. Next to immediate negative consequences for individual patients and healthcare systems, antibiotic unavailability can accelerate resistance development due to unmotivated use of suboptimal broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Objectives: While academics and policymakers agree that lack of access to antibiotics is a major public challenge, there are widely different situations of lack of access which are not always clearly identified. Therefore, this paper aims to clarify potential confusion by delving into four different types of lack of access, their specific causes, consequences and potential solutions.

Sources: The paper builds on a narrative review of academic and policy literature about lack of access to antibiotics and potential solutions to address it.

Content: We discuss causes as well as economic and clinical consequences of four different types of antibiotic unavailability: short-term shortages, long-term shortages, deregistrations and lack of registration. The discussion is supported by examples from Norway, Romania and Ethiopia, three countries characterized by clearly different market sizes and ability to pay. Common causes for all types of lack access include unattractive markets, dependence on few suppliers and insufficient communication, whereas other causes are specific to one type (e.g., insufficient inventories cause short-term shortages or regulatory complexity hinders registration). Longer lack of access entails more serious clinical consequences and higher risk of resistance development, but may not correspondingly increase costs in the long-term if alternatives are identified.

Implications: It is essential to understand the type of unavailability at hand because no single solution can address all types. For instance, stockpiling addresses short-term shortages, but not long-term ones or deregistrations. However, supply chain transparency and pooled procurement are remedies that support other solutions and can cope with several types of lack of access.

背景:由于供应、市场和需求等方面的问题,维持对各种新旧抗生素的使用越来越困难。除了会对患者和医疗系统造成直接的负面影响外,抗生素的不可获得性还会加速抗药性的产生,因为人们会无意识地使用次优的广谱抗生素:尽管学术界和政策制定者都认为抗生素的缺乏是一项重大的公共挑战,但缺乏抗生素的情况千差万别,并不总是能清晰地识别出来。因此,本文旨在通过深入研究四种不同类型的抗生素缺乏情况、其具体原因、后果和潜在解决方案,澄清可能存在的混淆:资料来源:本文基于对有关缺乏抗生素获取途径及潜在解决方案的学术和政策文献的叙述性回顾:我们讨论了四种不同类型的抗生素缺乏的原因以及经济和临床后果:短期短缺、长期短缺、取消注册和缺乏注册。挪威、罗马尼亚和埃塞俄比亚这三个国家的市场规模和支付能力明显不同,我们通过这三个国家的实例来支持讨论。所有类型缺乏准入的共同原因包括市场缺乏吸引力、依赖少数供应商和沟通不足,而其他原因则是某一类型所特有的(例如,库存不足导致短期短缺或监管复杂性阻碍了注册)。长期无法获得药物会造成更严重的临床后果,产生抗药性的风险也更高,但如果找到了替代品,长期而言成本可能不会相应增加:必须了解当前无法获得药物的类型,因为没有任何一种解决方案可以解决所有类型的问题。例如,储备可以解决短期短缺问题,但不能解决长期短缺或取消注册问题。然而,供应链透明度和集中采购是支持其他解决方案的补救措施,可以应对多种类型的无法获取问题。

Background: The diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) can be challenging because of diagnostic tests that are imperfect and/or invasive. The Fungitell serum (1→3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) assay is a non-invasive blood test studied for PCP; however, the manufacturer-recommended cut-off of 80pg/mL is not well validated for this disease.

Objectives: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the diagnostic test accuracy of the Fungitell BDG assay for the diagnosis of PCP.

Methods: Data Sources A search strategy of MEDLINE and Embase from a previous meta-analysis on BDG was updated to January 31, 2024. Test Fungitell BDG assay. Reference Standard One or more of: lung biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage, induced sputum, or nasopharyngeal swab specimens tested for PCP by histopathology, microscopy using immunofluorescence or staining, or polymerase chain reaction. Assessment of Risk of Bias The QUADAS-2 tool. Methods of Data Synthesis Diagnostic test accuracy data of the Fungitell serum BDG assay across all reported cut-offs were pooled by meta-analysis. We then evaluated a categorical approach using <80pg/mL as a rule-out threshold and ≥400pg/mL as a rule-in threshold.

Results: 26 articles were included comprising 5111 patients and 1150 PCP cases. At the conventional cut-off of 80pg/mL, the overall pooled sensitivity and specificity were 83.5% (95% Confidence Interval [95%CI]=72.8-90.6) and 75.5% (95%CI=66.0-83.0), respectively. At a pre-test probability of <20% and a BDG <80pg/mL, the post-test probability would be <5% (negative predictive value >95%). At 400pg/mL, sensitivity was reduced to 63.5% (95%CI=45.8-78.1) with specificity increased to 93.6% (95%CI=88.6-96.5). At a pre-test probability of 47.5%, a BDG >400pg/mL would have a post-test probability of >90%.

Discussion: A categorical approach using <80pg/mL to rule-out and >400pg/mL to rule-in PCP may allow for a more nuanced interpretation based on pre-test probability. More accurate estimates of pre-test probability and further external validation is required.

背景:由于诊断测试不完善和/或具有侵入性,因此诊断肺孢子虫肺炎(PCP)具有挑战性。Fungitell血清(1→3)-β-D-葡聚糖(BDG)测定是一种针对PCP的非侵入性血液检验;然而,制造商推荐的80pg/mL临界值并没有得到很好的验证:我们进行了一项系统综述和荟萃分析,以确定 Fungitell BDG 检测法诊断五氯苯酚的准确性:数据来源 从之前关于 BDG 的荟萃分析中提取的 MEDLINE 和 Embase 搜索策略已更新至 2024 年 1 月 31 日。检测方法 Fungitell BDG 检测法。参考标准 肺活检、支气管肺泡灌洗液、诱导痰或鼻咽拭子标本中的一种或多种通过组织病理学、使用免疫荧光或染色的显微镜检查或聚合酶链反应对五氯苯酚进行检测。偏倚风险评估 QUADAS-2 工具。数据综合方法 通过荟萃分析汇集了Fungitell血清BDG测定在所有报告临界值上的诊断检测准确性数据。结果:共纳入 26 篇文章,包括 5111 名患者和 1150 个 PCP 病例。在 80pg/mL 的常规临界值下,汇总的总体灵敏度和特异性分别为 83.5%(95% 置信区间 [95%CI]=72.8-90.6 )和 75.5%(95%CI=66.0-83.0)。检测前概率为 95%)。400pg/mL 时,灵敏度降至 63.5%(95%CI=45.8-78.1),特异性增至 93.6%(95%CI=88.6-96.5)。在检测前概率为47.5%的情况下,BDG>400pg/mL的检测后概率将>90%:讨论:使用 400pg/mL 的分类方法来排除 PCP,可根据检测前概率做出更细致的解释。需要对检测前概率进行更准确的估计,并进一步进行外部验证。

Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a common causative pathogen of pneumonia acquired in the ICU. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of PA ICU pneumonia (PAIP) and to quantify its independent association with PA colonisation at different body sites.

Methods: Adult patients on mechanical ventilation at ICU admission were prospectively enrolled across 30 European ICUs. PA colonisation in the perianal area and in the lower respiratory tract were assessed within 72 hours after ICU admission and twice weekly until ICU discharge. PAIP development was evaluated daily. Competing risk models with colonisation as a time-varying exposure and ICU death and discharge as competing events were fitted and adjusted for confounders to investigate the association between PA carriage and PAIP.

Results: 1971 subjects were enrolled. The colonisation prevalence with P. aeruginosa in the first 72 hours of ICU admission was 10.4% (179 perianal, 51 respiratory), while the acquisition incidence during the ICU stay was 7.0% (158 perianal, 47 respiratory). Of the 43 (1.8%) patients who developed PAIP, 11 (25.6%) were PA colonised on admission and 9 (20.9%) acquired colonisation prior to PAIP onset. Both perianal (adjusted sub distribution hazard ratio [aSHR] 4.4, 95%CI 1.7-11.6) and respiratory colonisation (aSHR 4.6, 95%CI 1.9-11.1) were independently associated with PAIP development.

Conclusions: PAIP incidence was higher in PA colonised vs non-colonised patients. Both colonisation of the rectum and of the respiratory tract were associated with development of PAIP. The increased risk of P. aeruginosa colonisation for subsequent infection provides an opportunity for targeted preventive interventions.

目的:铜绿假单胞菌(PA)是重症监护病房肺炎的常见致病菌。本研究旨在确定 PA ICU 肺炎(PAIP)的发病率,并量化其与 PA 在不同身体部位定植的独立关联:方法:在欧洲 30 家重症监护病房对入院时接受机械通气的成人患者进行了前瞻性登记。在入住重症监护病房后 72 小时内对肛周和下呼吸道的 PA 定植情况进行评估,并每周评估两次,直至重症监护病房出院。每天评估 PAIP 的发展情况。将定植作为时变暴露,ICU死亡和出院作为竞合事件,拟合并调整混杂因素的竞合风险模型,以研究PA携带与PAIP之间的关联:结果:共招募了 1971 名受试者。入ICU后72小时内铜绿假单胞菌定植率为10.4%(179例肛周感染,51例呼吸道感染),ICU住院期间铜绿假单胞菌感染率为7.0%(158例肛周感染,47例呼吸道感染)。在 43 名(1.8%)发生 PAIP 的患者中,11 名(25.6%)在入院时已感染 PA,9 名(20.9%)在 PAIP 发病前已感染。肛周(调整后次分布危险比 [aSHR] 4.4,95%CI 1.7-11.6)和呼吸道定植(aSHR 4.6,95%CI 1.9-11.1)均与 PAIP 的发生独立相关:结论:PA定植患者与非定植患者的PAIP发病率更高。直肠和呼吸道的定植均与 PAIP 的发生有关。铜绿假单胞菌定植导致后续感染的风险增加,为有针对性的预防干预提供了机会。

Objectives: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) presents with nonspecific symptoms which can pose a significant diagnostic challenge. Various factors, including age, sex, and HIV status, have been associated with an increased risk of developing EPTB. However, the influence of the lineage of the infecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (Mtbc) strain remains controversial.

Methods: Between 2008 and 2023, comprehensive clinical data from 1035 cases, along with whole genome sequencing (WGS) data of the respective Mtbc strains have been collected. To examine the association between Mtbc lineage and EPTB, we calculated crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) using logistic regression and performed propensity score matching with a subset of the cohort.

Results: Of the 1035 patients, 272 had exclusively extrapulmonary disease and 138 had both pulmonary and extrapulmonary disease. Patients infected with a lineage 1 strain had the highest odds of developing EPTB in the univariate analysis (OR: 3.30, 95% CI: 1.97-5.49). However, Mtbc lineage was not a significant predictor in the multivariable model, while the odds of developing extrapulmonary disease were higher among patients born in the South-East Asian region (adjusted OR: 6.00, 95% CI: 3.41-10.69) and the Eastern Mediterranean Region (adjusted OR: 5.95, 95% CI: 3.61-9.96) compared to those born in the European region. Further, female sex and age were significant positive predictors for EPTB.

Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that host factors, such as geographic origin, age and sex are stronger predictors for EPTB than infection with a Mtbc strain of a particular lineage. Further investigation of this host-pathogen interaction is needed.

目的:肺外结核(EPTB)表现为非特异性症状,给诊断带来很大挑战。包括年龄、性别和艾滋病病毒感染状况在内的各种因素都与肺结核发病风险的增加有关。然而,感染结核分枝杆菌复合菌株(Mtbc)血统的影响仍存在争议:方法:从 2008 年到 2023 年,我们收集了 1035 个病例的全面临床数据以及相应 Mtbc 菌株的全基因组测序(WGS)数据。为了研究Mtbc菌株与EPTB之间的关系,我们采用逻辑回归法计算了粗略和调整后的几率比(OR),并对队列中的一个子集进行了倾向得分匹配:在 1035 名患者中,272 人仅患有肺外疾病,138 人同时患有肺内和肺外疾病。在单变量分析中,感染 1 系菌株的患者患 EPTB 的几率最高(OR:3.30,95% CI:1.97-5.49)。然而,在多变量模型中,Mtbc 株系并不是一个重要的预测因素,而与欧洲地区出生的患者相比,东南亚地区(调整后 OR:6.00,95% CI:3.41-10.69)和东地中海地区(调整后 OR:5.95,95% CI:3.61-9.96)出生的患者罹患肺外疾病的几率更高。此外,女性性别和年龄也是预测 EPTB 的重要积极因素:我们的研究结果表明,宿主因素(如地理来源、年龄和性别)比感染特定血统的Mtbc菌株更能预测EPTB。我们需要进一步研究宿主与病原体之间的相互作用。

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria represent a challenging healthcare threat, accounting for metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) production increase across the world. MBL-producing Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa represent the main target for ultimate antibiotics combinations due to the difficulty to include carbapenems within the antimicrobial treatment.

Objectives: To provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge about the aztreonam/avibactam (ATM-AVI) combination, which has emerged as a promising option for treating MBL-producing bacteria. Sources Relevant in vitro and in vivo studies on ATM-AVI effectiveness.

Content: The review summarizes ATM-AVI characteristics and targets, examining how avibactam restores aztreonam effectiveness against MBLs while protecting it from other β-lactamases. Key in vitro and in vivo studies on ATM-AVI efficacy are presented.

Implications: This review provides insights into the potential clinical management implications of ATM-AVI for treating carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections, particularly those caused by MBL-producing organisms.
