Introduction
also see antibiotic prescribing practices
Management
- judicious use of antimicrobial agents to
- diminish emergence of antimicrobial-resistant organisms
- reduce medical costs
- minimized adverse drug reactions
- use narrow spectrum antibiotic
- ampicillin considered narrow spectrum
- ciprofloxcin is considered broad spectrum
- specific recommendations[10]
- preauthorization or prospective audit & feedback
- pharmacokinetic monitoring & adjustment programs for aminoglycosides & vancomycin
- programs to increase appropriate use of oral over IV antibiotics
- rapid viral testing of respiratory specimens
- use of days of therapy to monitor antibiotic use
- other recommendations (MKSAP)[2]
- simplify unnecessary antibiotic combinations
- avoid double anaerobic coverage
- convert intravenous agents to oral agents
- streamline de-escalation
- minimize therapy duration
- use Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle for interventions (MKSAP)[2]
Notes
- 28% of outpatient broad spectrum antibiotic prescriptions deemed unnecessary[4]
- 30% of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions deemed unnecessary[11]
- antibiotics for hospitalized patients is sometimes unnecessary & results in no benefit but potential harm[16]
- excessive antibiotic use in nursing homes is associated with an increased risk of C difficile colitis among fellow nursing home residents not receiving antibiotics[6]
- a multicomponent intervention promoting goal-directed care for suspected urinary tract infections & lower respiratory tract infections did not reduce antimicrobial use among nursing home residents with advanced dementia[28]
- ~ 1/2 of organisms causing surgical site infections & ~ 1/4 causing infections after chemotherapy are resistant to recommended prophylaxis regimens[7]
- antifungal use in US hospitals declined significantly from 2006 to 2012, but still often unnecessarily prescribed[18]
- a U.S. federal educational project helped hospital staff reduce quinolone use & C difficile infections by 20%[27]
- peer comparison of prescribing practice & EHR-prompted justification for antibiotic use for inclusion in the medical record reduce inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing practices[8]
- physician-designed interventions may improve appropriateness, but not quantity of antibiotics prescribed[14]
- older, busier, & foreign-trained practitioners more likely to overprescribe antibiotics[13]
- 5% of population may use non-prescribed antibiotics each year[12]
- antibiotic stewardship programs effective in lowering incidence of drug-resistant bacterial infections & colonization in hospitals[15]
- palliative care consultation for cancer patients at the end-of-life may reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing (also see antimicrobial stewardship)[29]
- inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is common in ambulatory care settings, particularly urgent care[17]
- urgent care: 46%
- emergency department: 25%
- medical offices: 17%
- retail clinics: 14%
Additional terms
- antibiotic prescribing practices; antibiotic overuse; outpatient parenteral antibiotics
- antibiotic resistance
- infection control
