1494. Validation of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Risk Factors in Predicting MRSA Community-Acquired Pneumonia at an Academic Medical Center

Abstract Background The 2019 Infectious Diseases Society of America community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) guidelines recommend anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) therapy in patients with CAP based on previously identified risk factors for MRSA with an emphasis on local epidemiology and institutional validation of risk. Thus, we sought to assess the ability of guideline-recognized risk factors to predict MRSA CAP at our institution. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study from January 2016 to March 2020. Patients were included if they were >18 years old, diagnosed with CAP, and had a MRSA nasal screen and a respiratory culture obtained on admission. Patients were excluded if CAP diagnosis was not met, respiratory cultures were not obtained within 48 hours of antibiotic initiation, or they had cystic fibrosis. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and likelihood ratios (LR) were calculated using Vassar Stats 2019. Pre/post-test odds and pre/post-test probabilities were calculated using Microsoft Excel 2019. Results Of 705 screened patients, 221 were included. MRSA prevalence in CAP patients at our institution was 3.6%. History of MRSA isolated from a respiratory specimen had high specificity (98%), high positive LR of 20 (95% CI 5.3 – 74.8), and high post-test probability of 42.8%. Receipt of IV antibiotics during hospitalization within the past 90 days had a positive LR of 1.9 (95% CI 0.74 – 4.84). A positive MRSA nasal screen on admission had a positive LR of 6.9 (95% CI 4.0 – 12.1), negative LR 0.28 (95% CI 0.08 – 0.93), positive post-test probability of 20.7%, and negative post-test probability of 1.04%. Conclusion Our study utilized institutional data to validate guideline-recognized risk factors for MRSA CAP specifically at our institution. Risk factors including history of MRSA isolated from a respiratory specimen, and positive post-admission MRSA nasal screen were validated as significant risk factors; receipt of IV antibiotics during hospitalization within the past 90 days was not shown to be a risk factor for MRSA CAP based on our institutional data. Validated risk factors may help providers discern which patients with CAP at our institution would benefit most from empiric MRSA treatment.

Abstract Background The epidemiology of CMV end-organ disease (EOD) after Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) in the era of preemptive therapy (PET) is defined. In contrast, less data exists on refractory and/or resistant (R/R) CMV. We report on 1) the incidence; 2) risk factors and outcomes of R/R CMV by 1-year post HCT. Methods Retrospective review of 167 CMV seropositive (R+) recipients of first marrow or peripheral blood HCT from 1/2014 - 12/2017 managed by PET. Refractory CMV was defined as failure to achieve >1 log10 decrease in CMV viral load (VL) and having VL >1,000 IU/mL after ≥14 day of PET. Resistant CMV required genotypic confirmation of resistance mutation(s) in UL54 and/or UL97 genes. End organ disease (EOD) was defined by standard criteria. Patients (pts) were followed through 1-year post HCT and were categorized in two mutually exclusive groups as R/R and no R/R. Demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes were extracted from medical records and hospital databases. Univariable and multivariable logistic models were used to identify risk factors for R/R CMV. Results Of 167 PET recipients, 91 (54.5%) received ex vivo T cell depleted (TCD) HCT; 40 (24.0%) had mismatched donor; and 26 (15.6%) had multiple myeloma. 66/167 (39.5%) pts developed refractory CMV (6 pts also had resistant CMV). Time from HCT to CMV viremia was shorter in R/R group: median (IQR) 21.5 (17.2-27.8) days compared to no R/R group: 26 (19-32) days (p=0.031). Maximum VL was higher for R/R compared to no R/R: median (IQR) 9,118 (2,849-18,456) and 868 (474-1,908), respectively (p< 0.001). In multivariable model, risk factors for R/R included TCD HCT (p< 0.0001) and higher VL at PET initiation (p=0.0002). In contrast, CMV seropositive donor (p=0.035) was protective (Figure 1). CMV EOD developed in 28.2% of R/R and 16.2% of no R/R groups (p=0.085) (Figure 2). Overall survival at 1 year was 59.1% for R/R compared to 83.1% for no R/R group (p=0.00027) (Figure 3). Figure 1. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) from multivariable model evaluating risk factors of refractory/resistant (R/R) CMV. Figure 2. Cumulative incidence curves of CMV end-organ disease (EOD) at 1-year post HCT Figure 3. Kaplan-Meier survival curves of overall survival (OS) at 1-year post HCT Conclusion 1) Refractory and/or resistant CMV occurred in 39,5% of PET recipients. 2) T-cell depletion and higher CMV VL at PET initiation were risk factors for R/R CMV in multivariable models. 3) R/R CMV was associated with more EOD and worse overall survival.

Abstract Background Ceftriaxone and azithromycin are common empiric antibiotics for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Despite low suspicion for atypical infection, azithromycin is often continued for a full course. Negative laboratory data for atypical bacteria may assist with azithromycin de-escalation. Thus, a pharmacist-driven azithromycin de-escalation protocol was implemented for immunocompetent, non-intensive care unit (ICU) patients treated for CAP. The primary outcome was to compare azithromycin duration before and after protocol implementation. Secondary outcomes included hospital length of stay (LOS) and all-cause 30-day readmission. Methods This was a single-center, quasi-experimental study of hospitalized, non-ICU patients treated with azithromycin and a beta-lactam for CAP. The pre- and post-intervention cohorts were from 07/01/2018–04/30/2019 and 07/01/2019–04/30/2020, respectively. Patients were included if they were ≥18 years old, diagnosed with CAP, and had a negative Legionella pneumophila urinary antigen and negative nasopharyngeal swab PCR for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Patients were excluded if they were immunocompromised, admitted to an ICU, prescribed azithromycin for an alternative indication, or had evidence of atypical bacteria. Results After exclusion criteria were applied, 90 and 100 patients were included in the pre- and post-intervention cohorts, respectively. Demographic and clinical characteristics were mostly similar between cohorts. This initiative was associated with a statistically significant decrease in azithromycin duration (2 days (IQR 1–2.75) vs. 5 days (IQR 3–6), p < 0.001) and hospital LOS (3 days (IQR 2–5) vs. 5 days (IQR 3–8.25), p < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was observed for all-cause 30-day readmission (14 days (15.6%) vs 13 days (13.0%), p=0.614). Conclusion Implementation of a pharmacist-driven azithromycin de-escalation protocol for CAP was associated with reduced azithromycin duration and hospital LOS, but not all-cause 30-day readmission.

Background: Up to 40% of women with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) can reveal endometrial cancer (EC) at hysterectomy. The pre-operative endometrial sampling method (ESM) and some independent cancer predictors may affect this outcome. The present study aimed to compare the rate of EC at hysterectomy in women with AEH undergoing dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopically-guided biopsy (HSC-bio), or hysteroscopic endometrial resection (HSC-res). The secondary outcome was to compare the reliability of ESMs in women showing independent variables associated with EC. Methods: Two-hundred-and-eight consecutive women with AEH and undergoing hysterectomy between January 2000 and December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on pre- and post-test probability analysis for EC, three ESMs were compared: D&C, HSC-bio, and HSC-res. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess risk factors predicting cancer on final histology. Finally, the patient’s characteristics were compared between the three ESM groups. Results: D&C and HSC-bio included 75 women in each group, while HSC-res included 58 women. Forty-nine women (23.6%) revealed cancer at hysterectomy (pre-test probability). Post-test probability analysis showed that HSC-res had the lowest percentage of EC underestimation: HSC-res = 11.6%; HSC-bio = 19.5%; D&C = 35.3%. Patient characteristics showed no significant differences between the three ESMs. Multivariate analysis showed that body mass index ≥40 (Odds Ratio (OR) = 19.75; Confidence Intervals (CI) 2.193–177.829), and age (criterion > 60 years) (OR = 1.055, CI 1.002–1.111) associated significantly with EC. In women with one or both risk factors, post-test probability analysis showed that HSC-res was the only method with a lower EC rate at hysterectomy compared to a pre-test probability of 44.2%: HSC-res = 19.96%; HSC-bio = 53.81%; D&C = 63.12%. Conclusions: HSC-res provided the lowest rate of EC underestimation in AEH, also in women showing EC predictors. These data may be considered for better diagnostic and therapeutic planning of AEH.

Abstract Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) causes substantial morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of data on the comprehensive burden of CAP across the life span in Canada. We estimated the incidence of all-cause CAP in all age groups in Ontario and British Columbia (BC), Canada. Methods We identified hospitalized and outpatient CAP episodes from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and physician billing claims databases (Ontario Health Insurance Plan in Ontario and Medical Services Plan in BC) in both provinces. The National Ambulatory Care Reporting System was used to identify CAP episodes from emergency department visits in Ontario. CAP recorded with a primary or secondary diagnosis was identified using International Classification of Diseases 9 (480–486, 510, 513) and 10 (J10.0, J11.0, J12–J18, J86.9, J85.1) codes. We estimated the age and sex adjusted annual incidence of CAP overall, and by age groups (0–4, 5–17, 18–39, 40–64, 65–74, 75–84 and ≥85 years) according to routine childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) immunization periods from 2005–2018 in Ontario and from 2002–2018 in BC. Poisson regression models were fitted with population denominators from Statistics Canada to estimate the incidence rates. Results Ontario had 3,607,186 CAP episodes from 2005–2015 with a mean annual incidence of 2,801 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2,748, 2,854) per 100,000 population; incidence declined from 3,077/100,000 in 2005 to 2,604/100,000 in 2010 before increasing to 2,843/100,000 in 2018. BC had 1,146,172 CAP episodes from 2002–2008, with a mean annual incidence of 2,146 (95% CI: 2105, 2189); the incidence increased from 2,005 /100,000 in 2002 to 2,199/100,000 in 2018. A high incidence of CAP was observed in children aged 0–4 years and older adults, particularly in adults aged ≥85 years in both provinces across all PCV program periods (Figure 1). Figure 1: Age group-specific incidence of all-cause community-acquired pneumonia according to childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) program periods in Ontario (PCV7 [1 Jan 2005–30 Sep 2009]), PCV10 [1 Oct 2009–31 Oct 2010] and PCV13 [1 Nov 2010–31 Dec 2018]) and British Columbia (PCV7 [1 Sep 2003–31 May 2010] and PCV13 [1 Jun 2010–31 Dec 2018]), Canada Conclusion CAP continues to be a public health burden in Canada despite publicly funded pneumococcal vaccination programs. Ontario seems to have higher CAP burden than British Columbia that warrants further investigation. The youngest cohort of children and older adults contribute significantly to the CAP burden.

Abstract Background Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for CAP are often grouped as moderate- (e.g., diabetes mellitus, chronic liver, lung, or heart disease) and high-risk (e.g., immunosuppressive) conditions, which in turn influences preventative strategies, notably pneumococcal vaccination. Here, we use the national VHA databases to assess the risk of CAP among adults, expanding on previous work by using administrative data to assess the incidence of CAP among people with > 1 moderate risk condition Methods We used the national VHA databases merged with claims summaries from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to identify patients receiving clinical care in the VHA without clinical Medicare claims in 2016-2017. Within this population, we identified CAP cases defined by the presence of a diagnostic code for pneumonia, chest X-ray, and antibiotics as well as the absence of healthcare exposure or antibiotics in prior 90 days. We determined the total patient years at risk and calculated incidence rates by age group and by moderate- and high-risk comorbid conditions. Results We identified 37,348 CAP cases in 7.9 million person-years at risk and observed similar annual rates in 2016 and 2017 (468.9 and 472.2 cases/100,000 person-years, respectively). The prevalence of high-risk conditions and incidence of CAP increased with age whereas the prevalence of >1 moderate-risk condition peaked for ages 50-64 and 65-74 years (Table). The incidence of CAP among those with > 1 moderate-risk condition exceeded that of patients with high-risk conditions across all age strata (Figure). Table Figure Conclusion Age-adjusted analysis revealed that the greatest burden of CAP occurs in patients with > 1 moderate-risk condition, even compared to those with a high-risk condition. Our analysis of CAP based on national VHA data suggest that additional preventative health measures directed at individuals older than 50 years with > 1 moderate-risk condition may help to reduce the burden of CAP and limit its morbidity and mortality.

Abstract Background Risk factors (RFs) for pneumococcal disease (PD) in immunocompetent individuals include comorbidities, behavioral habits, or living in a community with increased risk of PD transmission. RF stacking of comorbidities is associated with a higher incidence of PD, approaching that of immunocompromised individuals. Pneumococcal vaccination of certain adults is recommended with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) alone/sequentially with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). V114, an investigational 15-valent PCV, contains 2 epidemiologically important serotypes (STs), 22F and 33F, in addition to the 13 STs in 13-valent PCV (PCV13). Methods PNEU-DAY was a Phase 3 study evaluating V114 or PCV13 administered on Day 1, and PPSV23 given 6 months later, in adults aged 18–49 years with or without RFs. This subgroup analysis assessed safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V114 and PCV13 based on the number of baseline PD RFs, which included chronic liver, lung, and heart disease, diabetes mellitus, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption. Adverse events (AEs; overall and solicited) were collected after each vaccination. Immunogenicity assessment was based on ST-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) at 30 days after each vaccination. Subgroup analyses were conducted by RF group (0, 1, or ≥2 RFs for PD). Results Among the 1515 participants randomized to V114 (n=1135) or PCV13 (n=380), 25.2% had no RFs, 54.7% had 1 RF and 20.1% had ≥2 RFs for PD at baseline. The proportions of participants with solicited AEs following V114/PCV13 and PPSV23 were comparable across the 3 subgroups, with injection-site pain, myalgia, and fatigue being the most common. V114 and PCV13 were immunogenic in all subgroups based on OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) at 30 days post-vaccination for the 13 shared STs (Figure); in addition, V114 induced a robust immune response to the 2 unique STs (22F, 33F) in all subgroups. PPSV23 following PCV was immunogenic for all 15 STs contained in V114 across all subgroups. Figure. Serotype-specific OPA GMTs at baseline and 30 days post-vaccination with V114 and PCV13 by number of baseline risk factors (per-protocol population) Conclusion V114 administered alone/sequentially with PPSV23 is well tolerated and immunogenic for all 15 vaccine STs, including those not contained in PCV13, in immunocompetent adults aged 18–49 years, regardless of the number of baseline RFs.

This study aimed to describe the burden of vaccine-preventable pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (pCAP) and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) by age in hospitalized adults. Methods Active surveillance for all-cause CAP and IPD in hospitalized adults was performed from 2010 to 2017, including laboratory results, patient demographics, and outcomes. Streptococcus pneumoniae was detected using blood and sputum culture, or urine antigen detection (UAD). Serotype was assigned using Quellung reaction, PCR, or serotype-specific UADs spanning the 24 serotypes in PCV13 and PPV23 vaccines. Data were categorized by age (16-49, 50-64, 65+, and 50+ years) and over time. Results 11129 ACP cases and 216 cases of IPD (non-CAP) were identified. A laboratory test for S. pneumoniae was performed in 8912 of ACP cases, identifying 1264 (14.2%) as pCAP. Compared to non-pCAP, pCAP cases were more likely to be admitted to intensive care units and require mechanical ventilation. These serious outcomes, as well as mortality, were more prominent in bacteremic pCAP and IPD. Risk factors for death in pCAP included aged 75+ years, immune compromising conditions, and BMI < 18.5. When categorized by age, the proportion of individuals aged 65+ years for pCAP and IPD was 49.8% and 48.6%, and the 50-64 year age cohort represented 31.3% and 29.9%, respectively. The contributions of PCV13 and PPV23 serotypes remained relatively stable over time, and overall represented 57.6% and 90.9% for pCAP, and 35.0% and 72.0% for IPD, respectively. Conclusion Seven years following infant PCV13 immunization programs in Canada, PCV13 and PPV23 serotypes in pCAP and IPD remained predominant causes of pneumococcal disease. Serious outcomes were particularly evident in adults 50+, suggesting pneumococcal vaccines should be encouraged in this age group. Disclosures Jason J.

Abstract Background Herd immunity from pediatric pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) programs has resulted in substantial reductions in IPD due to PCV serotypes (ST). We assessed whether similar changes in ST distribution occur in non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia (NBPP). Methods The Toronto Invasive Bacterial Diseases Network performs population-based surveillance for IPD and hospitalized, culture-confirmed NBPP in Toronto/Peel Region, Canada (Pop 4.5M). Patient data are collected by interview/chart review; illness associated with respiratory isolates is categorized using Musher criteria. Results Since 2002, 6627 episodes of IPD, and 7323 non-bacteremic episodes with a respiratory isolate of S. pneumoniae (2180 meeting modified Musher criteria for NBPP) have occurred in adults. Distributions of vaccine-type serotypes in IPD and NBPP pre-PCV7 (2002-2004), post-PCV7 (2006-2009) and late post-PCV13 (2014-2019) are shown in the Figure. There were no significant changes in distribution of vaccine serotype groups from 2014-2019 in IPD or NBPP. From 2014-2019, serotypes included in PCV13 and PCV20 were associated with 33% and 59% of IPD cases, and 29% and 49% of NBPP cases in adults.. Figure. distribution of serotype groups included in different pneumococcal vaccines in cases of IPD and non-bacteremic pneumonia Conclusion Eight years post routine infant PCV13 implementation, PCV13 type IPD and NBPP persists in adults. The distribution of vaccine-type strains is similar in IPD and NBPP; although non-vaccine-type strains are more common in NBPP.

Abstract Background HIV-1 proviruses persist in people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) but most are defective and do not constitute a replication-competent reservoir. The decay of infected cells carrying intact compared with defective HIV-1 proviruses has not been well-defined in people on ART. Methods We separately quantified intact and defective proviruses (using an intact proviral DNA assay), residual plasma viremia, and markers of inflammation and activation in people on long-term ART. Longitudinal measurements were done at three timepoints: timepoint 1 was a median of 7.1 years on ART; timepoint 2 was a median of 3.7 years later; timepoint 3 was a median of 5.5 years after timepoint 1 and a median 12 years after starting ART (Figure 1). Figure 1: Study timepoints Results Among 40 participants tested longitudinally from a median of 7.1 years to 12 years after ART initiation, intact provirus levels declined significantly over time (median half-life 7.1 years; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.9, 18), whereas defective provirus levels did not decrease. The median half-life of total HIV-1 DNA was 41.6 years (95% CI, 13.6, 75). When we evaluated the change in proviral DNA per year, intact proviral DNA declined significantly more (p< 0.001) than defective proviral DNA (the latter did not change) (Figure 2). The proportion of all proviruses that were intact diminished over time on ART, from about 10% at the first on-ART timepoint to about 5% at the last timepoint (Figure 3). At timepoint 1, intact provirus levels on ART correlated with total HIV-1 DNA and residual plasma viremia, but there was no evidence for associations between intact provirus levels and inflammation or immune activation. Figure 2: Percent change in HIV-1 proviral DNA per year Figure 3: Total HIV-1 proviruses (grey bars) and the percentage of intact proviruses (red lines, displaying median, Q1, Q3) by timepoint. Conclusion Cells containing intact, replication-competent proviruses are selectively lost during suppressive ART. Defining the mechanisms involved should inform strategies to accelerate HIV-1 reservoir depletion.
