          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: En 2017 se iniciaron los problemas de suministro nacional de piperacilina/tazobactam, pero fue en 2018 cuando nuestro centro sufrió problemas graves de escasez. El objetivo es conocer el impacto de la evaluación de indicación de piperacilina-tazobactam en el marco del Programa de Asesoramiento de Antimicrobianos (PASA) durante el periodo de desabastecimiento de 2018. Material y métodos: Se analizaron de manera prospectiva las intervenciones efectuadas por el PASA. Se recogieron variables demográficas, clínicas, antibioterapia previa, antecedentes, recomendación realizada, aceptación, curación, mortalidad atribuible a la infección y mortalidad bruta a 30 días. Asimismo, se evaluó el impacto en consumo y coste de piperacilina-tazobactam y carbapenémicos. Se compararon los casos que evolucionaron a la curación clínica y la mortalidad, entre los pacientes cuyos facultativos aceptaron o rechazaron la recomendación de modificación. Resultados: Se realizaron 181 recomendaciones (126 pacientes), el tratamiento fue adecuado en el 53,6%, 28,2% desescalada, 8,8% suspensión, 5,5% ajuste posológico y 2,2% escalada. Aceptación global 91,6%. Los antibióticos más recomendados fueron cefalosporinas acompañadas o no de anaerobicida (60%). La curación clínica fue del 85%, la mortalidad bruta 21% y la atribuible 8,7%. No se encontraron diferencias en curación clínica (p=0,068) y mortalidad (p=0,68) entre los que aceptaron y rechazaron las recomendaciones. El consumo se redujo un 58,6%, con un ahorro estimado de 204.299 euros. El consumo de carbapenémicos aumentó un 6,1%. Conclusión: La intervención del PASA sobre la prescripción de piperacilina-tazobactam ha sido mayoritariamente aceptada, eficiente, neutra en los resultados clínicos y ha evitado el desplazamiento a carbapenémicos.

          SUMMARY Introduction: The national supply problems of piperacillin/tazobactam began in 2017, but it was in 2018 when our center suffered severe shortage problems. The objective is to know the impact of the evaluation of the indication of piperacillin-tazobactam in the framework of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) during the shortage period of 2018. Methods: The interventions carried out by the ASP were analyzed prospectively. Were collected: demographic and clinical variables, previous antibiotherapy, background, recommendation made, acceptance, cure, mortality attributable to the infection and gross mortality at 30 days. Likewise, the impact on consumption and cost of piperacillin-tazobactam and carbapenems was evaluated. We compared the cases that evolved to clinical cure and mortality, among patients whose physicians accepted or rejected the recommendation for modification. Results: 181 recommendations were made (126 patients), the treatment was adequate in 53.6%, 28.2% de-escalation, 8.8% suspension, 5.5% dose adjustment and 2.2% escalation. Overall acceptance was 91.6%. The most recommended antibiotics were cephalosporins with or without anaerobicide (60%). The clinical cure was 85%, the gross mortality 21% and the attributable 8.7%. No differences were found in clinical cure (p=0.068) and mortality (p=0.68) among those who accepted and rejected the recommendations. The consumption of piperacillin-tazobactam was reduced by 58.6%, with an estimated saving of 204,299 euros. The consumption of carbapenems was increased by 6.1%. Conclusion: ASP intervention on the prescription of piperacillin-tazobactam has been mostly accepted, efficient, neutral in clinical outcomes and has prevented displacement to carbapenems.

          Bad bugs, no drugs: no ESKAPE! An update from the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

          The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) continues to view with concern the lean pipeline for novel therapeutics to treat drug-resistant infections, especially those caused by gram-negative pathogens. Infections now occur that are resistant to all current antibacterial options. Although the IDSA is encouraged by the prospect of success for some agents currently in preclinical development, there is an urgent, immediate need for new agents with activity against these panresistant organisms. There is no evidence that this need will be met in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we remain concerned that the infrastructure for discovering and developing new antibacterials continues to stagnate, thereby risking the future pipeline of antibacterial drugs. The IDSA proposed solutions in its 2004 policy report, "Bad Bugs, No Drugs: As Antibiotic R&D Stagnates, a Public Health Crisis Brews," and recently issued a "Call to Action" to provide an update on the scope of the problem and the proposed solutions. A primary objective of these periodic reports is to encourage a community and legislative response to establish greater financial parity between the antimicrobial development and the development of other drugs. Although recent actions of the Food and Drug Administration and the 110th US Congress present a glimmer of hope, significant uncertainly remains. Now, more than ever, it is essential to create a robust and sustainable antibacterial research and development infrastructure--one that can respond to current antibacterial resistance now and anticipate evolving resistance. This challenge requires that industry, academia, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Department of Defense, and the new Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority at the Department of Health and Human Services work productively together. This report provides an update on potentially effective antibacterial drugs in the late-stage development pipeline, in the hope of encouraging such collaborative action.

            Implementing an Antibiotic Stewardship Program: Guidelines by the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.

            Evidence-based guidelines for implementation and measurement of antibiotic stewardship interventions in inpatient populations including long-term care were prepared by a multidisciplinary expert panel of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America. The panel included clinicians and investigators representing internal medicine, emergency medicine, microbiology, critical care, surgery, epidemiology, pharmacy, and adult and pediatric infectious diseases specialties. These recommendations address the best approaches for antibiotic stewardship programs to influence the optimal use of antibiotics.
