AbstractSurgical irrigation and debridement is the mainstay of treatment after the diagnosis of a septic knee. Arthroscopic treatment has been validated as a treatment option, but there is limited literature comparing it to an open arthrotomy regarding risk factors for failing single-stage surgical treatment. A retrospective review of surgically treated native adult septic knees at one urban tertiary care center was conducted to evaluate rates of unplanned return to the operating room (OR) following both arthroscopic and open treatment of an adult septic knee. The primary outcome studied was unplanned return to the OR for persistent infection within 4 months of the initial surgery. Demographics, laboratory, and microbiology data were collected to identify factors associated with unplanned return visits to the OR. Fisher's exact tests and two-tailed paired Student's t-tests were used for categorical and continuous data comparisons, respectively. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors of initial washout failure. Thirty-three patients underwent arthroscopy and 47 had open arthrotomy. Eight failed arthroscopy and nine failed open treatment (75.8 and 80.9% success rates, p = 0.59). Unplanned repeat washouts in arthroscopically treated knees was associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (62.5 vs. 12%, p = 0.01) and increased synovial white blood cell (WBC) count (160,000 vs. 52,000, p = 0.004). Unplanned return for repeat washout after open treatment was associated with lower American Society of Anesthesiologists scores (2.3 vs. 2.9, p = 0.019). MRSA was the only independent predictor of failure of single washout in a multivariable logistic regression analysis (p = 0.017). This study did not detect a difference in success of single washout between arthroscopic and open treatment of septic arthritis. However, MRSA was identified as a risk factor for an unplanned return to the OR after arthroscopic treatment. Consideration should be made for open surgical treatment in the setting of MRSA infections of a native knee.

The Impact

Abstract Background The 2019 American Thoracic Society and Infectious Diseases Society of America Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) guidelines concluded that the major risk factors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) include prior isolation of these organisms and previous hospitalization with IV antibiotic use within 90 days. However, the guidelines recognized that results may vary by region and recommended local validation of risk factors. The primary objective of this study was to determine which potential risk factors are associated with MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in CAP in our institution. This study also evaluated appropriateness of antibiotics used for empiric CAP therapy. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study performed in an urban academic medical center in Cleveland, OH. Adults hospitalized for CAP who had a respiratory culture performed between January 2016 and September 2020 were included. Patients were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into MRSA, PsA, and non-resistant CAP (NR-CAP) groups. Patients with bacterial co-infections or resistant pathogens other than MRSA or PsA were excluded. Results The study included 111 patients with 37 patients in each group. The median age was 61 years (IQR 52-70), and 58.6% of patients were male. There were no independent risk factors for MRSA (Table 1). Independent risk factors for PsA included prior isolation and enteral feeding (Table 2). MRSA risk factors as defined by the 2019 CAP guidelines were found in 48.6% of patients with MRSA CAP (Figure 1). Guideline-defined PsA risk factors were found in 56.8% of patients with PsA CAP (Figure 2). In NR-CAP, 62.2% received empiric MRSA coverage while only 27% had a guideline-defined risk factor; PsA coverage was administered in 78.4% of NR-CAP patients, but risk factors were found in only 24.3% of this cohort. MRSA and P. aeruginosa Risk Factor Analyses Empiric MRSA and P. aeruginosa Coverage and Guideline-Defined Risk Factors Conclusion Our findings were consistent with the risk factors identified in the 2019 CAP guidelines, but additional risk factors may be present in our patient population. Empiric coverage for MRSA and PsA was disproportionately high relative to the rate of recovery. This study encourages local validation of risk factors; however, further analyses are needed to determine the impact on empiric therapy. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

INTRODUCTION: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is spread out in hospitals across different regions of the world and is regarded as the major agent of nosocomial infections, causing infections such as skin and soft tissue pneumonia and sepsis. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (BSI) and the predictive factors for death. METHODS: A retrospective cohort of fifty-one patients presenting bacteraemia due to S. aureus between September 2006 and September 2008 was analysed. Staphylococcu aureus samples were obtained from blood cultures performed by clinical hospital microbiology laboratory from the Uberlândia Federal University. Methicillinresistance was determined by growth on oxacillin screen agar and antimicrobial susceptibility by means of the disk diffusion method. RESULTS: We found similar numbers of MRSA (56.8%) and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) (43.2%) infections, and the overall hospital mortality ratio was 47%, predominantly in MRSA group (70.8% vs. 29.2%) (p=0.05). Age (p=0.02) was significantly higher in MRSA patients as also was the use of central venous catheter (p=0.02). The use of two or more antimicrobial agents (p=0.03) and the length of hospital stay prior to bacteraemia superior to seven days (p=0.006) were associated with mortality. High odds ratio value was observed in cardiopathy as comorbidity. CONCLUSIONS: Despite several risk factors associated with MRSA and MSSA infection, the use of two or more antimicrobial agents was the unique independent variable associated with mortality.
