[PMID: 38570559 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03171-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To describe temporal and sociodemographic patterns of antimicrobial exposure during the first year of life in a large US cohort. METHODS Singleton infants born 1998-2014 enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northern California integrated health system (n = 345,550) were followed longitudinally via comprehensive electronic health records, capturing all systemic antimicrobial inpatient administrations and outpatient dispensings. Antimicrobial exposure was summarized by maternal and infant characteristics, birth year, inpatient/outpatient status, age in months, and drug class. RESULTS Overall, 44% of infants in this cohort received at least one dose of antimicrobials during infancy. Decreases over time were driven by reduced outpatient dispensings specifically in later infancy, primarily for penicillins. Among infants receiving any antimicrobials the median number of exposure-days was 16. Inpatient dispensings peaked in the first 30 days of life and outpatient dispensings peaked at 10-11 months. Birth characteristics (i.e., NICU admission, gestational age) were strong independent predictors of antimicrobial exposure between 0- < 3 months; sociodemographic factors were modest predictors of exposure for 3-12 months. CONCLUSION Predictors of antimicrobial exposure in early and late infancy are distinct with early infancy exposures highly correlated to birth characteristics. The cumulative proportion of infants exposed has decreased due to fewer late infancy outpatient dispensings. IMPACT Comprehensive antimicrobial exposure histories and the maternal and infant characteristics predicting exposure have not been well described in US populations. This analysis provides estimates of cumulative antimicrobial exposures by sociodemographic factors, delivery characteristics, month of life, inpatient/outpatient status, and antibiotic class among one of the largest US HMOs. Predictors of early infancy antimicrobial exposures differ from those in late infancy, with early exposures strongly correlated to birth characteristics and late infancy exposures modestly related to sociodemographic factors. Antimicrobial exposure among infants decreased over the time period primarily due to reduced outpatient dispensings in later infancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The factors and patterns associated with antibiotic consumption in infants are unclear. Our aim was to assess the cumulative incidence of antibiotic consumption from birth to 16 months and identify factors associated with antibiotic consumption among infants aged 4-16 months. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in 2016 in a sample of 18 882 women from Galicia, Spain, who had given birth to a live child between September 1, 2015 and August 31, 2016. We calculated the cumulative incidence of antibiotic consumption based on maternal reports regarding the infant's consumption from birth to 14 months obtained through interviews; we did not estimate consumption at ages 15 and 16 months due to the small sample size. To assess which factors were associated with antibiotic consumption, we carried out a nested case-control study matching cases and controls for birth month on a 1:1 ratio. RESULTS The cumulative incidence of antibiotic consumption among infants aged 0-14 months increased from 7.5% to 66.0%. The case-control study included data for 1852 cases and 1852 controls. Daycare attendance (OR: 3.8 [95% CI: 3.2-4.6]), having older siblings (OR: 1.8 [95% CI: 1.6-2.1]), health care visits to private clinics (OR: 1.6 [95% CI: 1.4-2.0]), and passive smoking (OR: 1.3 [95% CI: 1.1-1.6]) were associated with an increased probability of antibiotic consumption. Maternal age between 30-39 years or 40 years and over at the time of birth was associated with a decreased probability of antibiotic consumption (OR: 0.8 [95% CI, 0.7-1.0] and OR: 0.6 [95% CI: 0.5-0.8], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Some of the factors associated with antibiotic consumption in infants are modifiable and should be considered in the development of public health measures aimed at reducing antibiotic consumption.

The impact of maternal pertussis vaccination recommendation on infant pertussis incidence and mortality in the USA: an interrupted time series analysis. Int J Epidemiol 2024; 53:dyad161.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pertussis is a contagious respiratory disease. Maternal tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccination during pregnancy has been recommended by the United States Centres for Disease Control (US CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for unvaccinated pregnant women since October 2011 to prevent infection among infants; in 2012, ACIP extended this recommendation to every pregnancy, regardless of previous vaccination status. The population-level effect of these recommendations on infant pertussis is unknown. This study aimed to examine the impact of the 2011/2012 ACIP pertussis recommendation on pertussis incidence and mortality among US infants. METHODS We used monthly data on pertussis deaths among infants aged <1 year between January 2005 and December 2017 in the CDC Death Data and yearly infant pertussis incidence data from the CDC National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System to perform an interrupted time series analysis, accounting for the passage of the Affordable Care Act. RESULTS This study included 156 months of data. A potential decline in trend in infant pertussis incidence was noted during the post-recommendations period. No appreciable differences in trend were found in population-level infant pertussis mortality after the guideline changes in both adjusted and unadjusted models. Results were similar for all mortality sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS The 2011/2012 ACIP maternal pertussis vaccination recommendations were not associated with a population-level change in the trend in mortality, but were potentially associated with a decrease in incidence in the USA between 2005 and 2017.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Comparing antibiotic prescribing between countries can provide important insights into potential needs of improving antibiotic stewardship programs. We aimed to compare outpatient antibiotic prescribing in early life between children born in Denmark and Germany. METHODS Using the Danish nationwide healthcare registries and a German claims database (GePaRD, ~ 20% population coverage), we included children born between 2004 and 2016, and followed them regarding outpatient antibiotic prescriptions until end of enrollment or the end of 2018. We then determined the median time to first antibiotic prescription. Based on all prescriptions in the first 2 years of life, we calculated the rate of antibiotic treatment episodes and for the children's first prescriptions in this period, we determined established quality indicators. All analyses were stratified by birth year and country. RESULTS In the 2016 birth cohorts, the median time to first antibiotic prescription was ~ 21 months in Denmark and ~ 28 in Germany; the rate of antibiotic treatment episodes per 1000 person-years was 537 in Denmark and 433 in Germany; the percentage of prescribed antibiotics with higher concerns regarding side effects and/or resistance potential was 6.2% in Denmark and 44.2% in Germany. In the 2016 birth cohorts, the age at first antibiotic prescription was 50-59% higher compared to the 2004 birth cohorts; the rate of antibiotic treatment episodes was 43-44% lower. CONCLUSIONS Infants in Denmark received antibiotics markedly earlier and more frequently than in Germany, while quality indicators of antibiotic prescribing were more favorable in Denmark. Although both countries experienced positive changes towards more rational antibiotic prescribing in early life, our findings suggest potential for further improvement. This particularly applies to prescribing antibiotics with a lower potential for side effects and/or resistance in Germany.

Abstract
Infectious mononucleosis (IM) often results from late primary infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Exposure to EBV at ages 0-2 years from, e.g., siblings therefore protects against IM. Using Danish registers, we therefore followed children born in 1997 through 2015 from age 3 years for a hospital contact with an IM diagnosis as outcome with the number of antimicrobial prescriptions filled before age 3 years as a proxy of infection pressure and the main exposure in stratified Cox regressions. The main analyses used sibships as strata primarily to adjust for health-seeking behaviour with further possible adjustments for age, sex, calendar period and sibship constellation. In these analyses we followed 7087 children, exposed on average to 3.76 antimicrobials prescriptions. We observed a crude hazard ratio for IM per unit increase in cumulative antimicrobial use of 1.00 (95% confidence interval 0.99, 1.02), with similar results in adjusted analyses. The hypothesis that children with the largest use of antimicrobials at ages 0-2 years would subsequently have the lowest risk of IM within a sibship was not corroborated by the data. Furthermore, sibship-matched analyses provided no support for some common early-life immune system characteristics being predictive of IM.

Antimicrob Resist Infect Control 2023; 12:70.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vaccination can prevent bacterial and viral infections that could otherwise increase the chances of receiving (unnecessary) antibiotic treatment(s). As a result, vaccination may provide an important public health intervention to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). OBJECTIVES Perform a systematic literature review to better understand the impact of influenza, pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccination on antibiotic use, and to identify differences in effect between world regions and study designs. METHODS We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis which updated previous literature reviews with new data from 1 October 2018 to 1 December 2021. The study focuses on randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies. Results from the meta-analysis of RCTs were stratified by WHO region and age group. Vote counting based on the direction of effect was applied to synthesize the results of the observational studies. RESULTS Most studies are performed in the WHO European Region and the Region of the Americas in high-income countries. RCTs show that the effect of influenza vaccination on the number of antibiotic prescriptions or days of antibiotic use (Ratio of Means (RoM) 0.71, 95% CI 0.62-0.83) is stronger compared to the effect of pneumococcal vaccination (RoM 0.92, 95% CI 0.85-1.00). These studies also confirm a reduction in the proportion of people receiving antibiotics after influenza vaccination (Risk Ratio (RR) 0.63, 95% CI 0.51-0.79). The effect of influenza vaccination in the European and American regions ranged from RoM 0.63 and 0.87 to RR 0.70 and 0.66, respectively. The evidence from observational studies supports these findings but presents a less consistent picture. No COVID-19 studies were identified. CONCLUSION We find that both RCTs and observational studies show that influenza vaccination significantly reduces antibiotic use, while the effect of pneumococcal vaccination is less pronounced. We were unable to study the effect of COVID-19 vaccination and no clear regional patterns were found due to the high heterogeneity between studies. Overall, our data supports the use of influenza vaccination as an important public health intervention to reduce antibiotic use and possibly control AMR.

Impact of antibiotics on off-target infant gut microbiota and resistance genes in cohort studies. Pediatr Res 2022; 92:1757-1766. [PMID: 35568730 PMCID: PMC9659678 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-022-02104-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Young children are frequently exposed to antibiotics, with the potential for collateral consequences to the gut microbiome. The impact of antibiotic exposures to off-target microbes (i.e., bacteria not targeted by treatment) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is poorly understood. METHODS We used metagenomic sequencing data from paired stool samples collected prior to antibiotic exposure and at 1 year from over 200 infants and a difference-in-differences approach to assess the relationship between subsequent exposures and the abundance or compositional diversity of microbes and ARGs while adjusting for covariates. RESULTS By 1 year, the abundance of multiple species and ARGs differed by antibiotic exposure. Compared to infants never exposed to antibiotics, Bacteroides vulgatus relative abundance increased by 1.72% (95% CI: 0.19, 3.24) while Bacteroides fragilis decreased by 1.56% (95% CI: -4.32, 1.21). Bifidobacterium species also exhibited opposing trends. ARGs associated with exposure included class A beta-lactamase gene CfxA6. Among infants attending day care, Escherichia coli and ARG abundance were both positively associated with antibiotic use. CONCLUSION Novel findings, including the importance of day care attendance, were identified through considering microbiome data at baseline and post-intervention. Thus, our study design and approach have important implications for future studies evaluating the unintended impacts of antibiotics. IMPACT The impact of antibiotic exposure to off-target microbes and antibiotic resistance genes in the gut is poorly defined. We quantified these impacts in two cohort studies using a difference-in-differences approach. Novel to microbiome studies, we used pre/post-antibiotic data to emulate a randomized controlled trial. Compared to infants unexposed to antibiotics between baseline and 1 year, the relative abundance of multiple off-target species and antibiotic resistance genes was altered. Infants who attended day care and were exposed to antibiotics within the first year had a higher abundance of Escherichia coli and antibiotic resistance genes; a novel finding warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been suggested that the transiently increased infection risk following childcare enrolment is compensated by decreased infection risk later in childhood and adolescence. We investigated how childcare enrolment affected rates of antimicrobial-treated infections during childhood and adolescence.
Methods
In a register-based cohort study of all children born in Denmark 1997–2014 with available exposure information (n = 1 007 448), we assessed the association between childcare enrolment before age 6 years and infection risks up to age 20 years, using antimicrobial exposure as proxy for infections. Nationwide childcare and prescription data were used. We estimated infection rates and the cumulative number of infections using adjusted Poisson regression models.
Results
We observed 4 599 993 independent episodes of infection (antimicrobial exposure) during follow-up. Childcare enrolment transiently increased infection rates; the younger the child, the greater the increase. The resulting increased cumulative number of infections associated with earlier age at childcare enrolment was not compensated by lower infection risk later in childhood or adolescence. Accordingly, children enrolled in childcare before age 12 months had experienced 0.5–0.7 more infections at age 6 years (in total 4.5–5.1 infections) than peers enrolled at age 3 years, differences that persisted throughout adolescence. The type of childcare had little impact on infection risks.
Conclusions
Early age at childcare enrolment is associated with a modest increase in the cumulative number of antimicrobial-treated infections at all ages through adolescence. Emphasis should be given to disrupting infectious disease transmission in childcare facilities through prevention strategies with particular focus on the youngest children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Literature shows a positive association between antibiotics and obesity in childhood, but fails to account for confounding by indication. We evaluate the direct effect of infection on obesity and the indirect effect mediated by antibiotics by performing a mediation analysis of the infection-obesity association. METHODS A Medicaid cohort of children age 2-14 years old between 2015-2019 (n = 61,330) is used to perform mediation analysis of infections and antibiotic use in the first year of life, and obesity in childhood in Missouri, U.S.A. RESULTS An additional infection increases the risk of obesity in childhood (aIRR = 1.050, p < 0.001); however, mediation by antibiotic use is clinically and statistically insignificant. If the number of infections is not considered in the analysis, then antibiotic use as a risk factor for obesity is overstated (aIRR = 1.037 vs. 1.013 p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The number of infections exhibits a significant relationship with obesity and is a stronger risk factor for obesity than antibiotic use. In particular, a greater number of bronchitis, otitis media, and upper respiratory infections in the first year of life are associated with a significant increased risk of obesity in childhood. We find only weak evidence that an additional antibiotics claim increases the risk of obesity in childhood and this risk may not be clinically meaningful. Further research is needed to explore the association between early childhood infections, especially in the first 6 months of life, and obesity including the biological mechanism and environmental factor of early life infections associated with obesity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic use has emerged as a risk factor for colorectal neoplasia and is hypothesized as a contributor to the rising incidence of colorectal cancer under age 50 years or early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC). However, the impact of antibiotic use and risk of EOCRC is unknown. METHODS We conducted a population-based case-control study of CRC among individuals aged ≥18 years in the Epidemiology Strengthened by histoPathology Reports in Sweden (ESPRESSO) cohort (2006-2016). The primary outcome was EOCRC. A secondary outcome was CRC at any age. Incident CRC was pathologically confirmed, and for each, up to 5 population-based controls were matched on age, sex, county of residence, and calendar year. We assessed prescriptions until 6 months before CRC diagnosis. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS We identified 54,804 cases of CRC (2,557 EOCRCs) and 261,089 controls. Compared with none, previous antibiotic use was not associated with EOCRC risk after adjustment for potential confounders (aOR 1.06, 95% CI: 0.96, 1.17) with similarly null findings when stratified by anatomic tumor site. In contrast, previous antibiotic use was weakly associated with elevated risk for CRC at any age (aOR 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.07). A potential but modest link between broad-spectrum antibiotic use and EOCRC was observed (aOR 1.13, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.26). DISCUSSION We found no conclusive evidence that antibiotics are associated with EOCRC risk. Although antibiotic use was weakly associated with risk of CRC at any age, the magnitude of association was modest, and the study period was relatively short.

A Mixed-Method Assessment. J Gen Intern Med 2022; 37:15-22. [PMID: 33826060 PMCID: PMC8738814 DOI: 10.1007/s11606-021-06749-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2015, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) revised clinical recommendations to more broadly recommend abnormal blood glucose screening and more clearly recommend referral to behavioral interventions for adults with prediabetes. OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of the 2015 USPSTF recommendation changes on abnormal blood glucose screening and referral to behavioral interventions, and to examine physicians' perceptions of the revised recommendation. DESIGN We utilized a sequential, dependent mixed-methods triangulation design. PARTICIPANTS A total of 33,444 patients meeting USPSTF abnormal blood glucose screening criteria within 15 health system-affiliated primary care practices and 20 primary care physicians in North Carolina. MAIN MEASURES We assessed monthly abnormal blood glucose screening rate and monthly referral rate to behavioral interventions. To estimate trend changes in outcomes, we used segmented linear regression analysis of interrupted time-series data. We gathered physicians' perspectives on the 2015 USPSTF abnormal blood glucose recommendation including awareness of, agreement with, adoption of, and adherence to the recommendation. To analyze qualitative data, we used directed content analysis. KEY RESULTS There was a slight significant change in trend in abnormal blood glucose screening rates post-recommendation. There was a slight, statistically significant decrease in referral rates to behavioral interventions post-recommendation. Physicians were generally unaware of the revisions to the 2015 USPSTF abnormal blood glucose recommendation; however, once the recommendations were described, physicians agreed with the screening recommendation but felt that the behavioral intervention referral recommendation was hard to implement. CONCLUSION The 2015 USPSTF abnormal blood glucose guideline had little to no effect on abnormal blood glucose screening or referral to behavioral interventions in North Carolina practices. Potential interventions to improve these rates could include clinical decision tools embedded in the electronic health record and better referral systems for community-based diabetes prevention programs.

Gut Microbes 2022; 14:2120743. [PMID: 36289062 PMCID: PMC9621065 DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2022.2120743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing public health burden, but little is known about the effects of antibiotic exposure on the gut resistome. As childhood (0-5 years) represents a sensitive window of microbiome development and a time of relatively high antibiotic use, the aims of this systematic review were to evaluate the effects of antibiotic exposure on the gut resistome of young children and identify knowledge gaps. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. A PICO framework was developed to determine eligibility criteria. Our main outcomes were the mean or median difference in overall resistance gene load and resistome alpha diversity by antibiotic exposure groups. Bias assessment was completed using RoB 2 and ROBINS-I with quality of evidence assessed via the GRADE criteria. From 4885 records identified, 14 studies (3 randomized controlled trials and 11 observational studies) were included in the qualitative review. Eight studies that included information on antibiotic exposure and overall resistance gene load reported no or positive associations. Inconsistent associations were identified for the nine studies that assessed resistome alpha diversity. We identified three main groups of studies based on study design, location, participants, antibiotic exposures, and indication for antibiotics. Overall, the quality of evidence for our main outcomes was rated low or very low, mainly due to potential bias from the selective of reporting results and confounding. We found evidence that antibiotic exposure is associated with changes to the overall gut resistance gene load of children and may influence the diversity of antimicrobial resistance genes. Given the overall quality of the studies, more research is needed to assess how antibiotics impact the resistome of other populations. Nonetheless, this evidence indicates that the gut resistome is worthwhile to consider for antibiotic prescribing practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To curb future antibiotic resistance it is important to monitor and investigate current prescription patterns of antibiotics. OBJECTIVES To examine trends in antibiotic prescription to children aged 0-6 years old and the association with socioeconomic status of municipalities in the Capital region of Denmark between 2009 and 2018. METHODS This is a register-based study combining data on antibiotic treatments from 2009 to 2018, inhabitant-data and socioeconomic municipality scores. Subjects were children aged 0-6 years, residing in the Capital Region of Denmark. The study quantifies the use of antibiotics as number of antibiotic treatments/1000 inhabitants/year (TIY), inhabitants defined as children aged 0-6. Socioeconomic status of the municipalities is evaluated by a score from 3 to 12. RESULTS The average TIY of the municipalities decreased from 741.2 [95%CI 689.3-793.2] in 2009 to 348.9 [329.4-368.4] in 2018. The difference between the highest and lowest prescribing municipalities was reduced from 648.3 TIY in 2009-212.5 TIY in 2018. The average increase in TIY per unit increase in socioeconomic municipality score changed from 20.05 [7.69-31.06] in 2009 to -4.58 [-16.02-5.60] in 2018, representing a decreasing association between socioeconomic municipality score and use of antibiotic in the respective municipalities. CONCLUSION The trend in antibiotic prescription to children aged 0-6 years old decreased substantially in all the investigated municipalities in the 10-year study period. Local differences in prescription rates declined towards a more uniform prescription pattern across municipalities and association with socioeconomic status of the municipalities was reduced.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Autoimmune disorders result from the interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Many autoimmune disorders are associated with specific seasons of birth, implicating a role for environmental determinants in their etiopathology. We investigated if there is an association between the season of birth and the development of juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA). METHODS Birth data from 10,913 children with JIA enrolled at 62 Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry sites was compared with 109,066,226 US births from the same period using a chi‑square goodness-of-fit test. Season of birth of the JIA cohort was compared to the US population estimate using a 2-sided 1-sample test for a binomial proportion and corrected for multiple comparisons. Secondary analysis was performed for JIA categories, age of onset, and month of birth. RESULTS A greater proportion of children with JIA were born in winter (January-March) compared to the US general population (25.72% vs 24.08%; corrected P < 0.0001). This observation was also true after stratifying for age of onset (≤ or > 6 yrs). When analyzed by the month of birth, a greater proportion of children with JIA were born in January compared to the US population (9.44% vs 8.13%; corrected P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Relative to the general population, children with JIA are more often born in the winter, and specifically in the month of January. These observations support the hypothesis that seasonal variations in exposures during the gestational and/or early postnatal periods may contribute to development of JIA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial agents (AMs) are the most prescribed drugs to children. Early and repeated exposure to AMs in infancy is associated with increased risk of childhood overweight and obesity. AIMS We extended the investigation of AMs use, from birth to early adolescence, and evaluated their association with weight status. MATERIALS & METHODS A total of 10093 children from Finnish Health in Teens cohort (Fin-HIT) with register-based data on AMs purchases and measured weight status at the mean age of 11.2 y (SD 0.82) were included in the study. The key exposures were the number AM purchases at a given age or the sum of these during the entire follow-up time to describe lifetime exposure / use. Outcome was weight status in early adolescence defined with International Obesity Task Force cut-offs for the age- and sex-specific body mass index. Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using Multinomial Logistic Regression. RESULTS Of children, 73.7% were normal weight, 11.1% thin and 15.2% overweight/obese. AMs use was highest during the second year of life, when 65% of all children used AMs, but thereafter decreased with age. The highest mean purchases and prevalence at any given age along with the highest lifetime use were consistently seen among overweight children. Each episode of AMs use throughout life increased the risk of being overweight in adolescence [OR = 1.02 (1.02-1.03)]. However, there was an inverse association between AMs use and thinness [OR = 0.98 (0.97-0.99)]. DISCUSSION Despite a high prevalence of AMs use during the early years, lifetime-use was associated with weight status in early adolescence in a dose response manner. CONCLUSION Future studies should address mechanisms underlying the relationship between AM use and weight.

Gradual decline in outpatient antibiotic prescriptions in paediatrics: A data warehouse-based 11-year cohort study. Acta Paediatr 2021; 110:611-617.

Abstract
AIM To describe trends in antibiotic (AB) prescriptions in children in primary care over 11 years, using a large data warehouse. METHODS A retrospective cohort study assessed outpatient AB prescriptions 2007-2017, using the Massachusetts Health Disparities Repository. The evolution of paediatric outpatient AB prescriptions was assessed using time-series analyses through annual per cent change (APC) for the population and for children with or without comorbid condition. RESULTS About 25 000 children were followed in primary care with 31 248 AB prescriptions reported in the data warehouse. The youngest children had more AB prescriptions. Penicillins were prescribed most frequently (46%), then macrolides (28%). One third of children had comorbid conditions, receiving significantly more antibiotics (30.3 vs 21.0 AB/100 child-years, relative risk: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.40, 1.46). Overall AB prescription decreased over the period (APC = -5.34%, 95% CI: -7.10, -3.54), with similar trends for penicillins (APC = -5.49; 95% CI: -8.27, -2.62) and macrolides (APC = -6.46; 95% CI: -8.37, -4.58); antibiotic prescribing declined more in children with comorbid conditions. CONCLUSION Outpatient AB prescribing decline was gradual and consistent in paediatrics over the period. Prescription differences persisted between age groups, conditions and indication. The availability of routine care data through data warehouse fosters the surveillance automation, providing inexpensive fast tools to design appropriate antimicrobial stewardship.

Ben-Shimol S, Givon-Lavi N, Greenberg D, van der Beek BA, Leibovitz E, Dagan R. Substantial reduction of antibiotic-non-susceptible pneumococcal otitis media following PCV7/PCV13 sequential introduction. J Antimicrob Chemother 2020; 75:3038-3045. [PMID: 32946586 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkaa263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Revised: 05/11/2020] [Accepted: 05/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the pre-pneumococcal conjugated vaccines (PCVs) era, serotypes included in the 7/13-valent PCVs (PCV7/PCV13) caused most pneumococcal otitis media (OM) and antibiotic-non-susceptible pneumococcal OM (ANSP-OM) episodes. In southern Israel, sequential PCV7/PCV13 introduction resulted in >90% reduction of vaccine-serotype OM. OBJECTIVES We assessed the dynamics of ANSP-OM necessitating middle ear fluid culture following PCV7/PCV13 sequential introduction in young children. METHODS This was a prospective, population-based, active surveillance. All episodes in children <3 years old, during 2004-16, were included. Two subperiods were defined: (i) pre-PCV: 2004-08; and (ii) PCV13: 2014-16. ANSP was defined for the following antibiotics: penicillin (MIC ≥0.1 mg/L and ≥1.0 mg/L), macrolide, tetracycline, clindamycin, ceftriaxone, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol. MDR was defined as ANSP for ≥3 classes. RESULTS Overall, 2270 pneumococcal OM episodes were identified. Annual overall pneumococcal, PCV13 and non-PCV13 serotype OM incidence declined by 86%, 97% and 33%, respectively, comparing pre-PCV with the PCV13 period. During 2004-08, 95% of ANSP was observed in vaccine serotypes. Incidence of penicillin (MIC ≥0.1 mg/L and ≥1.0 mg/L), macrolide, tetracycline, clindamycin, ceftriaxone and multidrug ANSP-OM declined by >90% in the PCV13 period. Rates of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol ANSP-OM declined by 85% and 79%, respectively. The proportions of ANSP of all pneumococcal isolates declined by ∼70% for penicillin, ceftriaxone and erythromycin; 53% for tetracycline; and 55% for MDR, versus no significant reductions observed for chloramphenicol, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and clindamycin. CONCLUSIONS PCV7/PCV13 sequential introduction resulted in rapid and substantial ANSP-OM reduction, in parallel with the near disappearance of PCV13-serotype OM and no increase in replacement disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health threat. To preserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials, it is important to reduce demand for antimicrobials. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to screen the existing peer-reviewed literature to identify articles that addressed the potential impact of influenza or Pneumococcus vaccination on antibiotic usage. Data sources: PubMed, Embase Study eligibility criteria: Clinical studies where antimicrobial prescribing was assessed in both vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Participants and interventions: All patient populations were included (infants, children, adults and elderly), where the effects of the intervention (vaccination) was assessed. RESULTS We identified unique 3638 publications, of which 26 were judged to be of sufficiently high quality to allow the calculation of the potential impact of vaccination. Of these studies 23/26 found a significant reduction in antibiotic use by at least one of the parameters assessed. LIMITATIONS Different measures used to define anti-microbial use, studies typically focus on specific risk groups and most studies are from high-income countries. Conclusions and implications of key findings: Despite the limitations of the review, the evidence indicates that improved coverage with existing vaccines may significantly reduce antimicrobial demand. This suggests it may be a valuable tool for antimicrobial stewardship. Key messages While vaccines against a number of pathogens have been studied for their ability to reduce antimicrobial use, currently only vaccination against influenza or pneumococcus has generated sufficient data for analysis Vaccination against either influenza or pneumococcus significantly reduced overall antimicrobial prescribing rates, both in vaccinated individuals and at a population level Maintaining and expanding vaccination coverage thus appears to be a key tool for antimicrobial stewardship.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine if a multicomponent intervention was associated with increased use of first-line antibiotics (cephalexin or sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) among children with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in outpatient settings. METHODS The study was conducted at Kaiser Permanente Colorado, a large health care organization with ∼127 000 members <18 years of age. After conducting a gap analysis, an intervention was developed to target key drivers of antibiotic prescribing for pediatric UTIs. Intervention activities included development of new local clinical guidelines, a live case-based educational session, pre- and postsession e-mailed knowledge assessments, and a new UTI-specific order set within the electronic health record. Most activities were implemented on April 26, 2017. The study design was an interrupted time series comparing antibiotic prescribing for UTIs before versus after the implementation date. Infants <60 days old and children with complex urologic or neurologic conditions were excluded. RESULTS During January 2014 to September 2018, 2142 incident outpatient UTIs were identified (1636 preintervention and 506 postintervention). Pyelonephritis was diagnosed for 7.6% of cases. Adjusted for clustering of UTIs within clinicians, the proportion of UTIs treated with first-line antibiotics increased from 43.4% preintervention to 62.4% postintervention (P < .0001). The use of cephalexin (first-line, narrow spectrum) increased from 28.9% preintervention to 53.0% postintervention (P < .0001). The use of cefixime (second-line, broad spectrum) decreased from 17.3% preintervention to 2.6% postintervention (P < .0001). Changes in prescribing practices persisted through the end of the study period. CONCLUSIONS A multicomponent intervention with educational and process-improvement elements was associated with a sustained change in antibiotic prescribing for uncomplicated pediatric UTIs.

Abstract
This review of pediatric antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) summarized the antibiotic prescribing interventions and their impact on antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. We reviewed studies of pediatric ASP, including the search terms "antimicrobial stewardship," "antibiotic stewardship," "children," and "pediatric." The articles' selection and review were performed independently by 2 investigators, according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Twenty-one studies were included, from the past 15 years, increasing after the 2007 IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America) guidelines for ASP with a large variability of the programs, and the virtual exclusive focus on inpatient settings (90%): 16 formalized ASP and 5 non-ASP actions. A reduction in antibiotic prescribing in ASP has been demonstrated in the studies reporting pediatric ASP, but only one ASP showed a significant impact on antimicrobial resistance. However, the impact on antibiotic consumption in pediatrics demonstrated the important contribution of these strategies to improve antibiotic use in children, without complications or negative issues.

Abstract
AIM To characterize antibiotic (ab) prescriptions in children. METHODS Evaluation of outpatient ab prescriptions in a 3-year cohort of children in primary care using a data warehouse (Massachusetts Health Disparities Repository) by comorbid conditions, demographics, and clinical indication. RESULTS A total of 15 208 children with nearly 120 000 outpatient visits were included. About one third had a comorbid condition (most commonly asthma). Among the 30 000 ab prescriptions, first-line penicillins and macrolides represented the most frequent ab (70%), followed by cephalosporins (16%). Comorbid children had 54.3 ab prescriptions/100 child-years versus 38.8 in children without comorbidity; ab prescription was higher in urinary tract infections (>60% of episodes), otitis, lower respiratory tract infections (>50%), especially in comorbid children and children under 2 year old. Ab prescriptions were significantly associated with younger age, emergency room visit, comorbid children, and acute infections. DISCUSSION A clinical data warehouse could help in designing appropriate antimicrobial stewardship programs and represent a potential assessment tool.

Abstract
Antimicrobial drug resistance is a serious health hazard driven by overuse. Administration of antimicrobial drugs to HIV-exposed, uninfected infants, a population that is growing and at high risk for infection, is poorly studied. We therefore analyzed factors associated with antibacterial drug administration to HIV-exposed, uninfected infants during their first year of life. Our study population was 2,152 HIV-exposed, uninfected infants enrolled in the Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals and Nutrition study in Lilongwe, Malawi, during 2004-2010. All infants were breastfed through 28 weeks of age. Antibacterial drugs were prescribed frequently (to 80% of infants), and most (67%) of the 5,329 prescriptions were for respiratory indications. Most commonly prescribed were penicillins (43%) and sulfonamides (23%). Factors associated with lower hazard for antibacterial drug prescription included receipt of cotrimoxazole preventive therapy, receipt of antiretroviral drugs, and increased age. Thus, cotrimoxazole preventive therapy may lead to fewer prescriptions for antibacterial drugs for these infants.

The Japanese government set goals in its AMR action plan to reduce use of oral cephalosporins, macrolides, and quinolones by half between 2013 and 2020. We aimed to evaluate antimicrobial use in children in Japan by observing prescription patterns as an interim assessment of the national AMR action plan. METHODS Using the national health claims database, we retrospectively analyzed all oral antimicrobials dispensed from outpatient pharmacies in Japan to children under 15 years old from 2013 to 2016 by age, prefecture, type of antimicrobial, and year. Data were presented as days of therapy (DOTs) per 1000 pediatric inhabitants per day (DOTs/PID). The χ2 test for trends was performed to evaluate annual changes in DOTs/PID overall as well as within each stratum. RESULTS A total of 721,627,553 oral antimicrobial DOTs were identified during 2013-2016. No statistically significant changes were observed in total antimicrobial use in children (2013: 28.54 DOTs/PID; 2016: 28.70 DOTs/PID; Ptrend = 0.25) and amount of cephalosporins, macrolides, and quinolones prescribed. Prescription rates of all antimicrobials were highest among children 1-5 years old, peaking at 1 year old. Targeted antimicrobials for the AMR action plan showed similar distribution by age. CONCLUSION The amount of antimicrobials prescribed to children in Japan is not decreasing. Overall antimicrobial prescriptions, as well as prescriptions of cephalosporins, macrolides, and quinolones, were most prevalent in children ≤5 years old. Rigorous antimicrobial stewardship interventions targeting infants and younger children are necessary.

Abstract
Childhood asthma is responsible for significant morbidity and health care expenditures in the United States. The incidence of asthma is greatest in early childhood, and the prevalence is projected to continue rising in the absence of prevention and intervention measures. The prevention of asthma will likely require a multifaceted intervention strategy; however, few randomized controlled trials have assessed such approaches. The purpose of this review was to use previous meta-analyses to identify the most impactful risk factors for asthma development and evaluate the effect of risk factor reduction on future childhood asthma prevalence. Common and modifiable risk factors with large effects included acute viral respiratory infections, antibiotic use, birth by cesarean section, nutritional disorders (overweight, obesity), second hand smoke exposure, allergen sensitization, breastfeeding, and sufficient prenatal vitamin D level. Evaluation and estimates of risk factor modification on populations at risk should guide scientists and policymakers toward high impact areas that are apt for additional study and intervention.
