Impact of an empiric antimicrobial therapy manual on antimicrobial usage and multidrug resistant organism trends in a large Italian teaching hospital

Silvia Corcione et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in antimicrobial consumption and multidrug-resistant microorganism trends after introducing an empiric antimicrobial therapy manual to support antimicrobial stewardship in medical and surgical wards. The results suggest that the implementation of a persuasive educational approach, with the introduction of an empiric antimicrobial manual and continuous education, led to reductions in both antimicrobial use and healthcare-associated bloodstream infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Antimicrobial Resistance: Parallel and Interacting Health Emergencies

Robby Nieuwlaat et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and antimicrobial resistance are parallel health emergencies that provide the opportunity for mutual learning, with potential long-term impacts of AMR illustrated by the measures and consequences of COVID-19. There is a push to use existing antimicrobials for COVID-19 treatment, which may also impact the spread of AMR, highlighting the need for data collection to understand the influence of COVID-19 on AMR trends.

Antibiotic prescribing in patients with COVID-19: rapid review and meta-analysis

Bradley J. Langford et al.

Summary: The study estimated that approximately three-quarters of patients with COVID-19 receive antibiotic treatment, which is significantly higher than the estimated prevalence of bacterial co-infection. This suggests a potential for high rates of unnecessary antibiotic use in patients with COVID-19.

Risk Factors for Mortality in COVID-19 Hospitalized Patients in Piedmont, Italy: Results from the Multicenter, Regional, CORACLE Registry

Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa et al.

Summary: The study identified several risk factors associated with mortality in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, including age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and others. Factors such as C-reactive protein values and PaO2/FiO2 ratio at admission were also found to impact hospital mortality. Treatment with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was the only factor significantly associated with reduced mortality among patients still alive on day 7, despite conflicting evidence from randomized studies.

Matteo Bassetti et al.

Summary: Systematic literature searches were conducted to assess evidence on the management of COVID-19 patients, with most evidence graded as low certainty. Recommendations were developed for antiviral, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and CPAP/NIV treatment, with many best practice recommendations indicating the need for further investigations through randomized controlled trials.
