Abstract Background The European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) developed and validated a definition of pediatric refractory septic shock (RSS), based on two septic shock scores (SSS). Both bedside SSS (bSSS) and computed SSS (cSSS) were found to be strongly associated with mortality. We aimed at assessing the accuracy of the RSS definition on a prospective cohort from India. Methods Post hoc analysis of a cohort issued from a double-blind randomized trial that compared first-line vasoactive drugs in children with septic shock. Sequential bSSS and cSSS from 60 children (single-center study, 53% mortality) were analyzed. The prognostic value of the ESPNIC RSS definition was tested for 28-day all-cause mortality. Results In this septic shock cohort, RSS was diagnosed in 35 patients (58.3%) during the first 24 h. Death occurred in 30 RSS patients (85.7% mortality) and in 2 non-RSS patients (8% mortality), OR = 60.9 [95% CI: 10.5–676.2], p < 0.001 with a median delay from sepsis onset of 3 days [1.0–6.7]. Among patients diagnosed with RSS, the mortality was not significantly different according to vasopressors randomization. Diagnosis of RSS with bSSS and cSSS had a high discrimination for death with an area under the receiver operating curve of 0.916 [95% CI: 0.843–0.990] and 0.925 [95% CI: 0.845–1.000], respectively. High prognostic accuracy of the bSSS was found in the first hours following intensive care admission. The best interval of prognostication occurs after the 12th hour following treatment initiation (AUC 0.973 [95% CI: 0.925–1.000]). Conclusions The ESPNIC refractory septic shock definition accurately identifies, within the first 6 h of septic shock management, children with lethal outcome.

Abstract Background The standard treatment duration in low-risk Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream (SAB) is 14 days. However, it is unclear whether an extended course of antimicrobial therapy is necessary in patients with clinically uninfected prosthetic joints/osteosyntheses or pacemakers/automated implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (AICDs). Thus, we compared the duration of antimicrobial therapy and outcomes in patients with and those without clinically uninfected foreign bodies. Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of data from the prospective Invasive Staphylococcus aureus Infection Cohort (INSTINCT) study. Adult low-risk patients who survived ≥4 days were assessed for duration of treatment, SAB-related events (attributable death, relapse, or new deep-seated infection), and survival. Results Of the 1288 patients enrolled, 292 satisfied criteria for low-risk SAB. Forty-three patients (15%) had a clinically uninfected pacemaker/AICD or orthopedic implant. Patients with foreign bodies were significantly older (mean age, 72 vs 62 years for those without; P &lt; .001; P = .9) and had a higher Charlson score (median, 3 vs 2; P = .06). The total duration of antimicrobial therapy (median, 18 vs 17 days, respectively; P = .7), all-cause mortality rate (16% vs 14%; P = .7), and prevalence of SAB-related events within 90 days were similar (2% vs 2%) in the 2 groups. At 1-year follow-up, SAB-related events were more frequent in patients with foreign bodies (7% vs 4% in those without; P = .4) (hazard ratio, 1.41; 95% confidence interval, .35–5.69; in a multivariable Cox model), but this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions Low-risk patients with clinically uninfected foreign bodies received a similar duration of antimicrobial therapy without a significant impact on mortality rate. The observed higher hazard ratio of SAB-related events within 1 year necessitates additional studies before recommendations concerning treatment duration in this patient subgroup can be adapted or modified.
