Background

Up to 40% of hospitalized patients receive unnecessary or inappropriately broad antibiotics despite a low risk of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection. Empiric standard spectrum antibiotic use would reduce extended-spectrum (ES) antibiotic exposure and future resistance. We evaluated whether computerized prescriber order entry prompts providing patient-specific MDRO risk estimates could reduce ES antibiotic use compared to routine stewardship practices in patients hospitalized with pneumonia.

Methods

This 59 hospital cluster-randomized trial compared: 1) INSPIRE prompts providing patient-specific MDRO pneumonia risk estimates at order entry and recommended standard spectrum antibiotics for risk &lt; 10% versus 2) routine stewardship practices. Prompt used an absolute MDRO risk algorithm based on a 140 hospital data set. Trial population included adults treated with antibiotics for pneumonia in ED or non-ICU wards in first 3 days of admission (empiric days); prompt was triggered if ES antibiotics were ordered. Prescribers received feedback on prompt response. Trial periods: 18-month Baseline (Apr 2017–Sept 2018); 6-month Phase-in (Oct 2018–Mar 2019); 15-month Intervention (Apr 2019 – June 2020). Primary outcome was ES antibiotic days of therapy (ES-DOT) per empiric day; secondary outcomes were a) vancomycin and b) anti-pseudomonal DOT per empiric day. Unadjusted, as-randomized analyses used generalized linear mixed effects models to assess differences in ES-DOT rates between the intervention vs baseline period across arms (difference in differences), while clustering by patient and hospital.

Results

We randomized 59 hospitals in 12 states, with 59,897 and 51,486 non-ICU pneumonia admissions in baseline and intervention periods, respectively. Intervention group had a 33% reduction in ES-DOT compared to routine care. Vancomycin and anti-pseudomonal DOT were similarly reduced in the intervention group by 27% and 33%, respectively (Table).

Conclusion

INSPIRE order entry prompts providing real-time, patient-specific MDRO risk estimates with recommendation to use standard spectrum antibiotics in low risk patients significantly reduced empiric ES prescribing in adults admitted with pneumonia.
