Abstract Background Influenza infection may affect bacterial transmission dynamics and seasonality of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). There is a paucity of data on the association of influenza season and AMR rates. We aimed to describe trends of AMR and their correlation with the influenza season in ambulatory and inpatient settings in the United States (US). Methods We used the BD Insights Research Database (Franklin Lakes, NJ USA) to identify 30 day non-duplicate isolates collected from patients >17 years old with susceptibility profile of Gram-negative (GN) (Enterobacterales (ENT), P. aeruginosa (PSA), A. baumannii spp. (ACB), and S. maltophilia (Sm)) and Gram-positive (GP) pathogens (S. aureus (SA), and S. pneumoniae (Sp)) in up to 257 US healthcare institutions from 2011-19. We defined the outcomes as rates per 100 admissions and % of non-susceptibility (NS), stratified by community and inpatient settings, resistance type (resistance to carbapenem (Carb-NS), quinolone (FQ-NS), macrolide (Macr NS), penicillin (PCN NS), and extended spectrum cephalosporin (ESC NS)) and isolate origin (respiratory and non-respiratory). Influenza data were presented as the % of positive laboratory tests. We used descriptive statistics and generalized estimating equations models to evaluate the monthly trends of AMR outcomes and correlation with the influenza season. Results We identified 16 576 274 confirmed non-duplicate pathogens, of which 154 841 were GN Carb-NS, 1 502 796 GN FQ-NS, 498 012 methicillin resistant SA (MRSA), and 44 131 Macr-NS, PCN-NS, and ESC-NS Sp. Among the Carb-NS pathogens, Influenza rate was correlated with % ACB-NS [β= 0.205, p< .001]. In the FQ-NS group, influenza was associated with overall % ENT-NS [β= 0.041 p< .001] and % PSA-NS [β= 0.039, p = .015]. For the GP pathogens, all Sp. rates were correlated with increased influenza positivity % (See Table). Only MRSA rates of respiratory source were associated with influenza [β= .066, p=.028]. Summary of Multivariate regressions of AMR and % Flu by Source and Setting (controlling for hospital level factors): 2011-2019 Data in each cell is presented as the coefficient and p-value is in parentheses. ^adjusted for region, teaching, urban, bed size, and season. + p<.10 *p <.05 **p <.01 ***p <.001 Conclusion Our study revealed surprising association between influenza epidemics and GN resistance and corroborated the evidence of correlation between respiratory GP and influenza infections. These insights may help inform targeted antimicrobial stewardship initiatives during influenza season.

AbstractObjective:To develop a regional antibiogram within the Chicagoland metropolitan area and to compare regional susceptibilities against individual hospitals within the area and national surveillance data.Design:Multicenter retrospective analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility data from 2017 and comparison to local institutions and national surveillance data.Setting and participants:The analysis included 51 hospitals from the Chicago–Naperville–Elgin Metropolitan Statistical Area within the state of Illinois. Overall, 18 individual collaborator hospitals provided antibiograms for analysis, and data from 33 hospitals were provided in aggregate by the Becton Dickinson Insights Research Database.Methods:All available antibiogram data from calendar year 2017 were combined to generate the regional antibiogram. The final Chicagoland antibiogram was then compared internally to collaborators and externally to national surveillance data to assess its applicability and utility.Results:In total, 167,394 gram-positive, gram-negative, fungal, and mycobacterial isolates were collated to create a composite regional antibiogram. The regional data represented the local institutions well, with 96% of the collaborating institutions falling within ±2 standard deviations of the regional mean. The regional antibiogram was able to include 4–5-fold more gram-positive and -negative species with ≥30 isolates than the median reported by local institutions. Against national surveillance data, 18.6% of assessed pathogen–antibiotic combinations crossed prespecified clinical thresholds for disparity in susceptibility rates, with notable trends for resistant gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.Conclusions:Developing an accurate, reliable regional antibiogram is feasible, even in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. The biogram is useful in assessing susceptibilities to less commonly encountered organisms and providing clinicians a more accurate representation of local antimicrobial resistance rates compared to national surveillance databases.

Abstract Background Carbapenem (Carb) minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) breakpoints were lowered by CLSI in 2010 and recognized by FDA in 2012. Adoption of revised breakpoints is often slow, which may lead to under-reporting of Carb non-susceptibility (NS) by facilities. We compare facility-reported rates of Carb-NS ENT to the CLSI MIC breakpoints for a large nationwide collection of isolates in the United States (US) from 2016-2019. Methods All adults with a positive non-contaminant ENT culture (first isolate of a species per 30-day period from blood, respiratory, urine, skin/wound, intra-abdominal, or other) in ambulatory/inpatient settings from up to 300 US hospitals from 2016-2019 were evaluated (BD Insights Research Database). Facility-reported Carb-NS was defined as: susceptible (S), intermediate (I) or R to ertapenem (ETP), imipenem (IPM), meropenem (MEM) and/or doripenem (DOR) per commercial panels. Where available, MICs were interpreted using CLSI 2010 MIC breakpoints (µg/ml): ≤ 0.5 (S), 1 (I), ≥ 2 (R) for ETP and ≤1 (S), 2 (I), and ≥ 4 (R) for IPM/MEM/DOR. For evaluable ENT isolates we compared susceptibility results as reported by the facility to CLSI MIC breakpoints. Results Overall, 77.4% (937,926/1,211,845) and 90.6% (2,157,785/2,381,824) non-duplicate ENT isolates with facility-reported susceptibility results also had interpretable MIC results for ETP and IPM/MEM/DOR, respectively (Tables). ETP S rates were 99.3% and 99.1% as reported by facilities and using CLSI criteria, respectively. S rates of other Carbs were 98.9% and 98.4% by facility reporting and CLSI criteria, respectively. Systematic application of CLSI breakpoints under-reported EPT-I and –R isolates by 24.2% and 16.4%, respectively, and identification of IPM/MEM/DOR-I and –R isolates by 31.3% and 22.7%, respectively. Conclusion Systematic application of CLSI breakpoints in 2016-19 would have had minimal impact on ENT S rates in the US. However, facility reporting failed to identify 18.8% of ETP I or R and 26.5% of IPM/MEM/DOR I or R isolates. The clinical implications of this observation are unknown. Facilities should know their local epidemiology, decide if under-reporting might be an issue, and assess if there is any impact on their patients.

Abstract Background Inappropriate antibiotic (AB) use for viral respiratory illnesses remains widespread in the United States (US) with strong seasonal fluctuations. In contrast to outpatient AB use, the seasonality inpatient AB utilization (IAU) and its correlation with the influenza season are not well understood. We sought to describe trends, seasonality, and the association between IAU use and the 2015-2019 influenza seasons. Methods We used the BD Insights Research Database (Franklin Lakes, NJ USA) to identify IAU that were prescribed in patients >17 years old from up to 236 US acute care facilities from July 2015 to December 2019. We included the following AB categories: extended spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs), macrolides, β-lactam inhibitor combination (BLIC), fluoroquinolones, carbapenems, glycopeptides, lipopeptide, tetracyclines, and others. We defined IAU use as days of therapy (DOT) per 1000 patient days present. We used influenza laboratory data to identify facility-level positivity ratio per 100 tests. We used random effect models to estimate IAU: 1) trends overtime, 2) seasonality, and 3) association with influenza positivity rate. Results For IAU from 2015 to 2019, BLICs, ESCs, and glycopeptides were the most used [average 91, 107, and 96 DOT/1000 days presents, respectively]. Visually, we observed strong seasonality that matches the influenza season for macrolide, ESC, and quinolone use (See Figure). Unadjusted bivariate results showed ascending trends over time for BLICs [β= 3.8, p= .003], ESCs [β= 11.0, p= .005], and macrolides [β=1.5, p= .005]. Unadjusted bivariate results showed descending trends with quinolones [β= -10.9, p< .001] and others [β= -2.060, p< .001]. In the adjusted analysis, increased influenza positivity rate was associated with use of ESCs, glycopeptides, lipopeptides, macrolides, fluoroquinolone, and tetracyclines (see Table). No correlation was observed with BLICs, carbapenems, lipopeptides, and Others. IAU (DOT/1000 days presents) and Flu Rate (% Positive) Trends Over Time Conclusion Our study shows that IAU is on the rise for the ESC and BLIC classes. ESC and macrolide use was strongly correlated with influenza season. Monitoring influenza signals may provide more insights that can inform the interpretation of IAU trends and be incorporated into antimicrobial stewardship programs.

ABSTRACT Although changing patterns in antimicrobial resistance inStreptococcus pneumoniae have prompted several surveillance initiatives in recent years, the frequency with which these studies are needed has not been addressed. To approach this issue, the extent to which resistance patterns change over a 1-year period was examined. In this study we analyzed S. pneumoniaeantimicrobial susceptibility results produced in our laboratory with isolates obtained over 2 consecutive years (1997–1998 and 1998–1999) from the same 96 institutions distributed throughout the United States. Comparison of results revealed increases in resistant percentages for all antimicrobial agents studied except vancomycin. For four of the agents tested (penicillin, cefuroxime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and levofloxacin), the increases were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Resistance to the fluoroquinolone remained low in both years (0.1 and 0.6%, respectively); in contrast, resistance to macrolides was consistently greater than 20%, and resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole increased from 13.3 to 27.3%. Multidrug resistance, concurrent resistance to three or more antimicrobials of different chemical classes, also increased significantly between years, from 5.9 to 11%. The most prevalent phenotype was resistance to penicillin, azithromycin (representative macrolide), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Multidrug-resistant phenotypes that included fluoroquinolone resistance were uncommon; however, two phenotypes that included fluoroquinolone resistance not found in 1997–1998 were encountered in 1998–1999. This longitudinal surveillance study of resistance inS. pneumoniae revealed that significant changes do occur in just a single year and supports the need for surveillance at least on an annual basis, if not continuously.

Abstract Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumor in the United States with previous studies showing the incidence varied by age, sex, and race or ethnicity. Survival after diagnosis has also been shown to vary by these factors. Also, socioeconomic status and its association with various cancers have also been studied at length over time. PURPOSE: The purpose of our research was to quantify the differences in incidence and survival rates of gliomas in 15 years and older by income level. METHODS: This population-based study obtained incidence and survival data from the Incidence-SEER Research Database the general population. Average age incidence were generated by glioma groups and grouped by income levels. Survival rates were generated by overall glioma diagnosis grouped by observed survival at 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months and by again by income levels. The analysis included 94,207 patients with glioma diagnosed in those aged 15 years or older. RESULTS: Overall, 94, 207 patients diagnosed with glioma were analyzed. Of these, 1,089 (1.16%) fell into the &lt; $35k group, 1,684 (1.79%) in the $35k-$40k group, 3,473 (3.69%) in the $40k-$45k group, 5,647 (5.99%) in the $45k-$50k group, 7,138 (7.58%) in the $50k-$55k group, 6,468 (6.87%) in the $55k-$60k group, 15,348 (16.29%) in the $60k-$65k group, 13,216 (14.03%) in the $65k-$70k group, 9,035 (9.59%) in the $70k-$75k group, and 31,109 (33.02%) fell in &gt; $75k group. The data was also broken further down into survivability showing average survival. CONCLUSION: Incidence of glioma and 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 month survival rates after diagnosis vary significantly by income level with higher income level greater than $75,000+ having higher incidence and higher survival rates compared with lower income levels. Further research is needed to help determine risk factors and barriers to care to help reveal health disparities.

Background: The primary aim of this study is to describe current trends in racial-, age- and sex-specific incidence, clinical characteristics and burden of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in the United States (US). Methods: Validated International Classification of Disease codes were used to identify all adult new cases of CVT (n=5,567) in the State Inpatients Database of New York and Florida (2006-2016) and all cases of CVT in the entire US from the National Inpatient Sample 2005-2016 (weighted n=57,315). Incident CVT counts were combined with annual US Census data to compute age and sex-specific incidence of CVT. Joinpoint regression was used to evaluate trends in incidence over time. Results: From 2005-2016, 0.47%-0.80% of all strokes in the US were CVTs but this proportion increased by 70.4% over time. Of all CVTs over this period, 66.7% were in females but this proportion declined over time (p<0.001). Pregnancy/puerperium (27.4%) and cancer (11.8%) were the most common risk factors in women, while cancer (19.5%) and central nervous trauma (11.3) were the most common in men. Whereas the prevalence of pregnancy/puerperium declined significantly over time in women, that of cancer, inflammatory conditions and trauma increased over time in both sexes. Annual age and sex-standardized incidence of CVT in cases/million population ranged from 13.9-20.2, but incidence varied significantly by sex (women: 20.3-26.9; men 6.8-16.8) and by age/sex (women 18-44yo: 24.0-32.6%; men: 18-44yo: 5.3-12.8). Age and sex-standardized incidence also differed by race (Blacks:18.6-27.2; whites: 14.3-18.5; Asians: 5.1-13.8). On joinpoint regression, incidence increased across 2006-2016 but most of this increase was driven by increase in all age groups of men (combined annualized percentage change (APC) 9.2%, p-value <0.001), women 45-64 yo (APC 7.8%, p-value <0.001) and women ≥65 yo (APC 7.4%, p-value <0.001). Incidence in women 18-44 yo remained unchanged over time . Conclusion: The epidemiological characteristics of CVT patients in the US is changing. Incidence increased significantly over the last decade. Further studies are needed to determine whether this increase represents a true increase from changing risk factors or artefactual increase from improved detection.

Incidence And Mortality

Background Epidemiologic studies are needed for monitoring population-level trends in sepsis. This study examines sepsis-causing microorganisms from 2006 to 2014 in the United States using data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. Methods 7 860 686 adults hospitalized with sepsis were identified using a validated ICD-9 coding approach. Associated microorganisms were identified by ICD-9 code and classified by major groups (Gram-positive, Gram-negative, fungi, anaerobes) and specific species for analysis of their incidence and mortality. Results The rate of sepsis incidence has increased for all four major categories of pathogens, while the mortality rate decreased. In 2014, Gram-negative pathogens had a higher incidence than Gram-positives. Anaerobes increased the fastest with an average annual increase of 20.17% (p < 0.001). Fungi had the highest mortality (19.28%) and the slowest annual decrease of mortality (−2.31%, p = 0.006) in 2013, while anaerobic sepsis had the highest hazard of mortality (adjusted HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.53-1.66). Conclusions Gram-negative pathogens have replaced Gram-positives as the leading cause of sepsis in the United States in 2014 during the study period (2006-2014). The incidence of anaerobic sepsis has an annual increase of 20%, while the mortality of fungal sepsis has not decreased at the same rate as other microorganisms. These findings should inform the diagnosis and management of septic patients, as well as the implementation of public health programs.
