Abstract

Objective: To compare Anti-Xa directed thromboprophylaxis using low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (anti-Xa peak goal 0.2-0.5 IU/mL) to alternative anticoagulation strategies in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter, single health-system study. Primary outcomes were thromboembolic events and clinically important bleeding events. Secondary outcomes included dosing comparisons between LMWH cohorts. Main Results: A total of 695 patients were included. No differences were found in the incidence of thrombotic events with any of the dosing strategies. The incidence of major bleeding was significantly higher in the standard dose thromboprophylaxis, intermediate dose subcutaneous heparin (SQH), and therapeutic anticoagulation cohorts. Forty-nine percent of patients within the anti-Xa directed group had their first anti-Xa peak at goal, while 43% were above goal. Patients who had levels above goal had dose modifications made, therefore anti-Xa directed LMWH resulted in significantly lower total daily doses compared to intermediate dose LMWH. Conclusions: Anti-Xa directed LMWH dosing provided comparable thromboprophylaxis with lower total daily doses of LMWH in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:. To describe the prevalence, associated risk factors, and outcomes of serious neurologic manifestations (encephalopathy, stroke, seizure, and meningitis/encephalitis) among patients hospitalized with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. DESIGN:. Prospective observational study. SETTING:. One hundred seventy-nine hospitals in 24 countries within the Society of Critical Care Medicine Discovery Viral Infection and Respiratory Illness Universal Study COVID-19 Registry. PATIENTS:. Hospitalized adults with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. INTERVENTIONS:. None. RESULTS:. Of 16,225 patients enrolled in the registry with hospital discharge status available, 2,092 (12.9%) developed serious neurologic manifestations including 1,656 (10.2%) with encephalopathy at admission, 331 (2.0%) with stroke, 243 (1.5%) with seizure, and 73 (0.5%) with meningitis/encephalitis at admission or during hospitalization. Patients with serious neurologic manifestations of COVID-19 were older with median (interquartile range) age 72 years (61.0–81.0 yr) versus 61 years (48.0–72.0 yr) and had higher prevalence of chronic medical conditions, including vascular risk factors. Adjusting for age, sex, and time since the onset of the pandemic, serious neurologic manifestations were associated with more severe disease (odds ratio [OR], 1.49; p < 0.001) as defined by the World Health Organization ordinal disease severity scale for COVID-19 infection. Patients with neurologic manifestations were more likely to be admitted to the ICU (OR, 1.45; p < 0.001) and require critical care interventions (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: OR, 1.78; p = 0.009 and renal replacement therapy: OR, 1.99; p < 0.001). Hospital, ICU, and 28-day mortality for patients with neurologic manifestations was higher (OR, 1.51, 1.37, and 1.58; p < 0.001), and patients had fewer ICU-free, hospital-free, and ventilator-free days (estimated difference in days, –0.84, –1.34, and –0.84; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:. Encephalopathy at admission is common in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and is associated with worse outcomes. While serious neurologic manifestations including stroke, seizure, and meningitis/encephalitis were less common, all were associated with increased ICU support utilization, more severe disease, and worse outcomes.

Abstract

Few studies have evaluated the use of ceftriaxone (CRO) in the treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections. The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of CRO versus cefazolin (CZO) for patients with MSSA bacteraemia. This was a multicentre, single health-system, retrospective study. Adult inpatients were included if they had a primary episode of MSSA bacteraemia and received CRO or CZO as definitive therapy. The primary endpoint was clinical cure at 28 days or at discharge, whichever came first. Secondary endpoints included treatment failure at 90 days, time to treatment failure, re-admission due to recurrent MSSA bacteraemia, duration of bacteraemia, discontinuation of treatment due to adverse drug events, and Clostridioides difficile infection. A total of 248 patients were included, of which 87 (35.1%) received CRO and 161 (64.9%) received CZO. There was no difference in the primary outcome of clinical cure at 28 days or at discharge between the CRO and CZO groups [75 (86.2%) vs. 145 (90.1%); P = 0.359], even after adjusting for Charlson comorbidity index and Pitt bacteremia score (adjusted OR = 1.35, 95% CI 0.58-3.12; P = 0.49). There were no differences in time to clinical cure, treatment failure at 90 days or safety events between the two groups. In conclusion, our findings suggest no clinical difference between CRO and CZO for the definitive treatment of MSSA bacteraemia. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Background: Few studies have evaluated the early use of insulin glargine in the management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) patients. Early insulin glargine use in DKA was safe and associated with a trend towards faster DKA resolution. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of early insulin glargine administration for acute management of DKA in critically ill patients. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients, who were >18 years of age with DKA, admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 12 h, and received intravenous insulin infusion for at least 6 h. The primary endpoint was the association between the time to insulin glargine administration and time to DKA resolution. Linear and logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Of the 913 patients evaluated, 380 were included in the study. The overall mean age was 45±17 years, 196 (51.6%) were female, and 262 (70%) patients had type 1 diabetes mellitus. The mean blood glucose level was 584.9±210 mg/dL, pH was 7.16±0.17, anion gap was 28.17±6.9 mEq/ L, and serum bicarbonate level was 11.19±5.72 mEq/L. Every 6-h delay in insulin glargine administration was associated with a 26-min increase in time to DKA resolution (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.76-37.44; p Conclusion: Early administration of insulin glargine is potentially safe and may be associated with a reduction in time to DKA resolution and a shorter duration of insulin infusion.

Abstract

Background COVID-19 pandemic data suggest risk for bacterial co-infection upon hospital presentation remain extremely low. Despite low co-infection rates, antibiotics are prescribed for most patients. Current data are limited regarding institutional-specific change in antibiotic use over the course of the pandemic. Given the low rates of co-infections, Saint Luke’s Health System’s COVID-19 Treatment Taskforce developed a COVID-19 evaluation and treatment order set which included procalcitonin (PCT) . As co-infection literature emerged, active education was provided, and order sets were modified to provide passive education regarding co-infection rates. We aimed to assess antibiotic practice changes as data and strategies to influence use evolved during the pandemic. Methods This was a multi-center, single health-system retrospective cohort study. Ten community hospitals and 1 academic medical center were included in analysis. Inclusion criteria were age ≥18 years, admitted during April or September 2020 and had a positive COVID-19 result on admission. Patients were excluded if they were readmitted for COVID-19 related issues. Both primary and secondary outcomes were analyzed from the first 7 days after admission. The primary outcome was rate of respiratory bacterial co-infections. This was determined through sputum and blood cultures, urinary antigens including Streptococcus pneumoniae and Legionella, and PCT. Secondary outcomes included rate of antibiotic use, antibiotic days of therapy (DOT), length of therapy, and antibiotic use trends. Baseline Characteristics Results A total of 294 patients were included with 69 patients in April 2020 and 225 in September 2020. Primary and secondary results are shown in Table 2. Rate of culture-confirmed bacterial co-infection when examining April 2020 was 4.38% and 4.44 % in September 2020. Antibiotic uses, antibiotic DOT, and length of therapy were all significantly lower in September 2020 compared to April 2020. Conclusion Our results show bacterial co-infections were extremely low in our health system. Despite positive trends in antibiotic use, prescribing remained high. More targeted interventions to decrease antibiotic exposure in COVID-19 patients are needed. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract

Background Few studies have evaluated the use of ceftriaxone (CRO) in the treatment of Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections. Available studies include a small number of patients with MSSA bacteremia, with conflicting results and several limitations. The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of CRO versus cefazolin (CFZ) for patients with MSSA bacteremia. Methods This was a multi-center, single health-system retrospective cohort study. Patients were included if they were at least 18 years old, had a primary episode of MSSA bacteremia within Saint Luke’s Health System and received CRO or CEFZ as definitive therapy for MSSA bacteremia. Patients were excluded if they had a previous MSSA bacteremia within 6 months, a polymicrobial infection, received combination antimicrobial therapy as definitive therapy, started treatment at outside hospital, treated for less than 72 hours, or deemed palliative or comfort care. The primary endpoint was clinical cure at 7, 10, 14, and 28 days, or discharge, whichever came first. Secondary endpoints included time to clinical cure or discharge, treatment failure at 90 days, time to treatment failure, readmission due to recurrent MSSA bacteremia at 30 and 90 days, duration of bacteremia, discontinuation of definitive treatment due to adverse drug events, incidence of Clostridiodes difficile infection, and hospital length of stay. Results A total of 248 patients met inclusion criteria. Among these, 87 (35.1%) received CRO and 161 (64.9%) received CFZ as definitive therapy. Patient baseline and treatment characteristics are shown in Table 1. The primary outcome occurred in 75 (86.2%) patients in the CRO group vs 145 (90.1%) patients in the CFZ group (P= 0.359), even after adjusting for Charlson Comorbidity Index, Pitt bacteremia score and serum creatinine, (aOR=0.74, 95% CI 0.32 – 1.72; p=0.473). There were no differences in time to clinical cure or discharge, treatment failure at 90 days, or safety events between the two groups. Primary and secondary endpoints are included in Table 2. Table 1 Table 2 Conclusion Our study suggests that there is no clinical difference between CRO and CFZ for the treatment of MSSA bacteremia. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
