BMC Infect Dis 2023; 23:247. [PMID: 37072711 PMCID: PMC10114324 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-023-08182-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections are major causes of disease in cancer patients and pose a major obstacle to the success of cancer care. The global rise of antimicrobial resistance threatens to make these obstacles even greater and hinder continuing progress in cancer care. To prevent and handle such infections, better models of clinical outcomes building on current knowledge are needed. This internally funded systematic review (PROSPERO registration: CRD42021282769) aimed to review multivariable models of resistant infections/colonisations and corresponding mortality, what risk factors have been investigated, and with what methodological approaches. METHODS We employed two broad searches of antimicrobial resistance in cancer patients, using terms associated with antimicrobial resistance, in MEDLINE and Embase through Ovid, in addition to Cinahl through EBSCOhost and Web of Science Core Collection. Primary, observational studies in English from January 2015 to November 2021 on human cancer patients that explicitly modelled infection/colonisation or mortality associated with antimicrobial resistance in a multivariable model were included. We extracted data on the study populations and their malignancies, risk factors, microbial aetiology, and methods for variable selection, and assessed the risk of bias using the NHLBI Study Quality Assessment Tools. RESULTS Two searches yielded a total of 27,151 unique records, of which 144 studies were included after screening and reading. Of the outcomes studied, mortality was the most common (68/144, 47%). Forty-five per cent (65/144) of the studies focused on haemato-oncological patients, and 27% (39/144) studied several bacteria or fungi. Studies included a median of 200 patients and 46 events. One-hundred-and-three (72%) studies used a p-value-based variable selection. Studies included a median of seven variables in the final (and largest) model, which yielded a median of 7 events per variable. An in-depth example of vancomycin-resistant enterococci was reported. CONCLUSIONS We found the current research to be heterogeneous in the approaches to studying this topic. Methodological choices resulting in very diverse models made it difficult or even impossible to draw statistical inferences and summarise what risk factors were of clinical relevance. The development and adherence to more standardised protocols that build on existing literature are urgent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current information is limited on the incidence, risk factors, and consequences of extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistant Enterobacteriaceae (ESCRE) carriage in patients undergoing therapy for newly-diagnosed acute leukemia. METHODS We monitored 300 consecutive patients who submitted a first stool within the first week of initial hospitalization for initial and hospital acquired ESCRE carriage. Selected available isolates underwent DNA sequencing for determination of strain typing and resistance genes. RESULTS 19 (6%) patients had ESCRE in their initial stool, and there was continued risk for new acquisition throughout their multiple hospitalizations. Patients with AML had more acquired carriage during their initial hospitalization. Increased hospitalizations and male sex were risk factors for detected acquired ESCRE carriage. ESCRE stool carriage was predictive for ESCRE BSI but not for overall survival. Sequencing revealed that E. coli ESCRE isolates contained primarily ESBL, while Enterobacter spp. and Citrobacter spp. showed primarily AmpC genes. The antibiotic sensitivity patterns for ESCRE BSI isolates reflected these genome findings. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS ESCRE carriage is common in patients with acute leukemia undergoing repeated hospitalizations and increases the risk for ESCRE BSI. ESCRE genera express differing resistance genes which may be predictive for empiric antibiotic efficacy.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:967017. [PMID: 36467034 PMCID: PMC9710632 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.967017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) produce unparalleled efficacy in refractory neoplasms but can also lead to serious toxicities. Although ADC-related sepsis has been reported, the clinical features are not well characterized in real-world studies. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the association between ADCs and sepsis using FAERS data and uncover the clinical characteristics of ADC-related sepsis. Methods: We performed disproportionality analysis using FAERS data and compared rates of sepsis in cancer patients receiving ADCs vs. other regimens. Associations between ADCs and sepsis were assessed using reporting odds ratios (RORs) and information component (IC). For each treatment group, we detected drug interaction signals, and conducted subgroup analyses (age, gender, and regimens) and sensitivity analyses. Results: A total of 24,618 cases were reported with ADCs between Q1, 2004 and Q3, 2021. Sepsis, septic shock, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and other sepsis-related toxicities were significantly associated with ADCs than other drugs in this database. Sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome have the highest safety concerns with ADCs compared with other anticancer monotherapies. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin and inotuzumab ozogamicin showed increased safety risks than other ADCs. For the top nine ADC-related sepsis, males showed higher sepsis safety concern than females (p <0.001); however, age did not exert influence on the risk of sepsis. We identified that 973 of 2,441 (39.9%) cases had acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and 766 of 2613 (29.3%) cases on ADCs died during therapy. Time-to-onset analysis indicated ADC-related sepsis is prone to occur within a month after administration. Co-administration of ADCs with colony-stimulating factors, proton pump inhibitors, H2-receptor antagonists, or CYP3A4/5 inhibitors showed to synergistically increase the risk of sepsis-related toxicities. Conclusion: Antibody-drug conjugates may increase the risk of sepsis in cancer patients, leading to high mortality. Further studies are warranted to characterize the underlying mechanisms and design preventive measures for ADC-related sepsis.

Abstract
Data regarding the epidemiologic characteristics and clinical features of pediatric hematologic patients are limited in this corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. We investigated the status of 113 pediatric hematologic patients in Wuhan union hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic from January 23 to March 10, 2020. All the patients had routine blood and biochemical examination, as well as chest computed tomography scans, and the nucleic acid, immunoglobulin G-immunoglobulin M combined antibodies tests for SARS-CoV-2. After admission, all patients were single-room isolated for 5 to 7 days. The results showed that only 1 (0.88%) child with leukemia was confirmed to have SARS-CoV-2 infection and 15 (13.2%) children were considered as suspected cases. Comparing to the nonsuspected patients, the suspected cases had lower white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, neutrophil count, serum calcium ion level and serum albumin concentration, as well as higher levels of C-reactive protein. All the suspected cases were ruled out of SARS-CoV-2 infection by twice negative tests for the virus. Therefore, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in hematologic malignancy children was low during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. COVID-19 got early detected and the virus spread out in the ward was effectively blocked by increasing test frequency and using single-room isolation for 5 to 7 days after admission.

Abstract
Cancer treatment options have evolved to include immunotherapy and targeted therapy, in addition to traditional chemoradiation. Chemoradiation places the patient at a higher risk of infection through a myelosuppressive effect. High clinical suspicion and early use of antimicrobials play a major role in decreasing any associated morbidity and mortality. This has led to a widespread use of antimicrobials in cancer patients. Antimicrobial use, however, does not come without its perils. Dysbiosis caused by antimicrobial use affects responses to chemotherapeutic agents and is prognostic in the development and severity of certain cancer treatment-related complications such as graft-versus-host disease and Clostridioides difficile infections. Studies have also demonstrated that an intact gut microbiota is essential in the anticancer immune response. Antimicrobial use can therefore modulate responses and outcomes with immunotherapy targeting immune checkpoints. In this review, we highlight the perils associated with antimicrobial use during cancer therapy and the importance of a more judicious approach. We discuss the nature of the pathologic changes in the gut microbiota resulting from antimicrobial use. We explore the effect these changes have on responses and outcomes to different cancer treatment modalities including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, as well as potential adverse clinical consequences in the setting of stem cell transplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistance in gram-negative bacteria has gained great importance in recent decades and one reason is the rapid increase of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria as a growing problem worldwide. The increasing proportion of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) infections acquired in the emergency community is a new feature of ESBLs epidemiology. Early recognition of patients with extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli infection is important in the emergency department. To mitigate the burden on the healthcare system, while also providing the best possible care for patients, early recognition of the infection is needed. METHODS For the acquisition of required data of eligible prospective/retrospective cohort study or randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we will search for publications from PubMed, Web of science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Google scholar. Two independent reviewers will read the full English text of the articles, screened and selected carefully, removing duplication. Then we evaluate the quality and analyses data by Review Manager (V.5.4). Results data will be pooled and meta-analysis will be conducted if there's 2 eligible studies considered. RESULTS This systematic review and meta-analysis will evaluate the value of the early prediction models for Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E coli infection in emergency department. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide clinical evidence for predicting Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E coli infection in emergency department, inform our understanding of the value of the predictive model in predicting Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E coli infection in emergency department in the early stage. The conclusions drawn from this study may be beneficial to patients, clinicians, and health-related policy makers. STUDY REGISTRATION NUMBER INPLASY202130049.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the epidemiology, risk factors, and prognosis of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections (BSIs) among hematology malignancy (HM) patients in China. Method: From January 2010 to June 2018, we retrospectively collected and analyzed the 449 HM patients with E. coli or K. pneumoniae BSIs from three leading hospitals in Hunan Province, China. Results: Two hundred four (45.4%) patients harbored ESBL-producing bacteremia. The proportion of ESBL-producing bacteremia increased significantly with the growth of the year, with a ratio of 34.47% in 2010-2014 to 54.7% in 2015-2018. Comparing with non-ESBL groups in HM patients, central venous catheter (odds ratio [OR] 1.717, p = 0.009), previous antibiotic exposure (OR 1.559, p = 0.035), and E. coli (OR 2.561, p ≤ 0.001) among ESBL groups were independent risk factors. No significant differences in 30-day mortality were tested in patients with BSI caused by ESBL-producing or non-ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae (17.1% vs. 16.7%; p = 0. 893). The proportion of carbapenem used within 72 hours after the onset of bacteremia in two groups was high, which was routinely used as "last-resort drugs" in Gram-negative bacterial infections. Risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in HM patients with E. coli or K. pneumoniae bacteremia were myelodysplastic syndrome, incomplete remission of the disease, Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer score <21, Pitt bacteremia score ≥4, Charlson comorbidity score >3, catheter insertion, use of vasopressors, and inappropriate antibiotics within 72 hours of BSI onset. Conclusions: The results of this study may provide some references for the whole process management of HM patients with BSIs.

Abstract
Background The colonization of Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) in bloodstream infections (BSIs) has been increased dramatically worldwide, and it was associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with malignancy. We performed the meta-analysis to investigate the prognosis and risk factors in BSIs caused by ESBL-PE in oncological patients. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for related studies. All-cause mortality was considered as the primary outcome. Subgroup analyses, meta-regression analyses, and sensitivity analysis were used to investigate heterogeneity and reliability in results. Results 6,729 patients from 25 studies were eligible. Six studies enrolled oncological patients with BSIs caused by ESBL-PE only, while 19 studies both enrolled ESBL-PE and non-ESBL-PE infections. The results showed that BSIs caused by ESBL-PE in patients with malignancy was associated with higher mortality than non-ESBL-PE infections (RR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.60–3.06, P < 0.001), with a significant between-study heterogeneity (I2 =78.3%, P < 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that children (RR = 2.80, 95% CI: 2.29–3.43, P < 0.001) and hematological malignancy (RR = 3.20, 95% CI: 2.54–4.03, P < 0.001) were associated with a higher mortality. Severe sepsis/ septic shock, pneumonia, and ICU admission were the most common predictors of mortality. Conclusions Our study identified that BSIs caused by ESBL-PE in patients with malignancy were associated with worse clinical outcomes compared with non-ESBL-PE infections. Furthermore, children and hematological malignancy were associated with higher mortality. Severe sepsis/ septic shock, pneumonia, and ICU admission were the most common predictors of mortality.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the frequency rate of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) causing bloodstream infections (BSIs) in cancer patients referred to one of the major referral hospitals in Ahvaz city, southwest Iran. Materials and Methods In this study, 1700 blood cultures were collected from 610 cancer patients suspected to have BSI from October 2016 to August 2017 referred to the Shafa cancer hospital, Ahvaz, southwest of Iran. The blood culture bottles were incubated aerobically at 35-37ºC for 24 hours and then sub-cultured on routine microbiology culture media. The bacterial colonies were identified using standard tests. The antibiotic susceptibility testing was achieved by the disc-diffusion method. The phenotypic detection of ESBLs was carried out by the combination disc-diffusion test (CDDT). Finally, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to investigate the presence of bla TEM, bla CTX, bla SHV, and bla PER genes. Results The prevalence of BSI in cancer patients was 16.4% (100/610). Gram-negative rods with rate of 74% (74/100) were the most prevalent bacteria. The frequency of Enterobacteriaceae family was 21% including Escherichia coli (n: 8), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n: 6), Enterobacter spp. (n: 5), Citrobacter freundii (n: 1), and Serratia marcescens (n: 1). All isolates were multidrug-resistant (resistance to three or more antibiotics). The results of CDDT showed that 42.8% (9/21) of Enterobacteriaceae isolates had a positive ESBL test of which 100% (9/9) indicated positive band for at least one of the ESBL genes by PCR method. The bla CTX-M and bla TEM genes were detected in 38% (8/21) and 23.8% (5/21) of isolates, respectively, while the bla SHV and bla PER were not detected in any isolates. Conclusion Based on the results, surveillance, and antibiotic stewardship programs should be implemented for cancer patients to prevent the spread of more ESBL-PE that have limited therapeutically choices.

Shock and Early Death in Hematologic Patients with Febrile Neutropenia. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2019; 63:AAC.01250-19. [PMID: 31405857 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01250-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2019] [Accepted: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Empirical antibiotic therapy with a beta-lactam is the standard of care in febrile neutropenia (FN) and is given to prevent early death. The addition of vancomycin is recommended in certain circumstances, but the quality of evidence is low, reflecting the lack of clinical data. In order to characterize the epidemiology of early death and shock in FN, we reviewed all episodes of FN from 2003 to 2017 at University Hospital, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and looked at factors associated with shock at first fever and early death (within 3 days from first fever) by univariate and multivariate analyses. Among 1,305 episodes of FN, shock occurred in 42 episodes (3.2%) and early death in 15 (1.1%). Predictors of shock were bacteremia due to Escherichia coli (odds ratio [OR], 8.47; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 4.08 to 17.55; P < 0.001), Enterobacter sp. (OR, 7.53; 95% CI, 1.60 to 35.33; P = 0.01), and Acinetobacter sp. (OR, 6.95; 95% CI, 1.49 to 32.36; P = 0.01). Factors associated with early death were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (OR, 3.57; 95% CI, 1.18 to 10.73; P = 0.02), pneumonia (OR, 21.36; 95% CI, 5.72 to 79.72; P < 0.001), shock (OR, 11.64: 95% CI, 2.77 to 48.86; P = 0.01), and bacteremia due to Klebsiella pneumoniae (OR, 5.91; 95% CI, 1.11 to 31.47; P = 0.03). Adequate empirical antibiotic therapy was protective (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.81; P = 0.02). Shock or early death was not associated with Gram-positive bacteremia; catheter-related, skin, or soft tissue infection; or inadequate Gram-positive coverage. These data challenge guideline recommendations for the empirical use of vancomycin at first fever in neutropenic patients.

J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8101583. [PMID: 31581650 PMCID: PMC6832584 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8101583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2019] [Revised: 09/25/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Abnormalities in body composition are associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients. We investigated the association between body composition and 90-day mortality in cancer patients who developed septic shock. We included consecutive septic shock patients with active cancer from 2010 to 2017. The muscle area at the level of the third lumbar vertebra was measured by computed tomography upon emergency department admission and adjusted by height squared, yielding the Skeletal Muscle Index (SMI). Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for 90-day mortality were estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model. Among 478 patients, the prevalence of muscle depletion was 87.7%. Among markers of body composition, the SMI only differed significantly between non-survivors and survivors (mean, 35.48 vs. 33.32 cm2/m2; P = 0.002) and was independently associated with lower 90-day mortality (adjusted HR, 0.970; P = 0.001). The multivariable-adjusted HRs (95% CI) for 90-day mortality comparing quartiles 2, 3, and 4 of the SMI to the lowest quartile were 0.646 (0.916–1.307), 0.620 (0.424–0.909), and 0.529 (0.355–0.788), respectively. The associations were evident in male patients, but not in female patients. The SMI was independently associated with 90-day mortality in cancer patients with septic shock. The graded association between the SMI and 90-day mortality was observed in male patients.
