    Abstract Background: Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is active against most Staphylococcus aureus isolates but is not widely used for the treatment of pediatric osteoarticular infections.
    Methods: This was a comparative effectiveness study of hospitalized patients ≤18 years treated with TMP-SMX vs. other antibiotic regimens for acute osteoarticular infections between 2016 and 2021 at 3 hospitals using inverse probability of treatment weighted propensity score analysis. The primary outcome was treatment failure, a composite of unanticipated emergency department (ED) or outpatient visits, hospital readmissions, extension, or change of antibiotic therapy due to inadequate clinical response, or death, all within 6 months after completing antibiotics. The secondary outcome was antibiotic-associated adverse events (AEs) within 6 months. The exposed group for the treatment failure analysis included children who received ≥7 days of TMP-SMX and did not experience treatment failure while on another antibiotic. Children receiving at least 1 dose of TMP-SMX were the exposed group for the AE analysis.
    Results: One-hundred and sixteen patients met eligibility criteria; 26 (22.4%) patients were classified into the TMP-SMX cohort and 90 (77.6%) into the other antibiotics cohort (most commonly clindamycin, vancomycin, and cefazolin). There was no significant difference in treatment failure between TMP-SMX and other antibiotics (43% vs. 19%; 95% CI .9-10.4). More patients in the TMP-SMX cohort experienced an unplanned ED or outpatient visit (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.3-17.8). There was no difference in hospital readmission, antibiotic change, or duration extension. Exposure to TMP-SMX was associated with more AEs (41% vs. 19%, P = .012).
    Conclusions: Treatment with TMP-SMX was not associated with greater clinical failure but was associated with more AEs compared to alternative agents for the treatment of pediatric acute osteoarticular infections.

    Abstract Importance: Management of gram-negative bloodstream infections (GN-BSIs) with oral antibiotics is highly variable.
    Objective: To examine the transition from intravenous (IV) to oral antibiotics, including selection, timing, and associated clinical and microbial characteristics, among hospitalized patients with GN-BSIs.
    Design, setting, and participants: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of 4581 hospitalized adults with GN-BSIs at 24 US hospitals between January 1 and December 31, 2019. Patients were excluded if they died within 72 hours. Patients were excluded from the oral therapy group if transition occurred after day 7. Statistical analysis was conducted from July 2022 to October 2023.
    Exposures: Administration of antibiotics for GN-BSIs.
    Main outcomes and measures: Baseline characteristics and clinical parameters reflecting severity of illness were evaluated in groups receiving oral and IV therapy. The prevalence of transition from IV to oral antibiotics by day 7, median day of transition, sources of infection, and oral antibiotic selection were assessed.
    Results: Of a total of 4581 episodes with GN-BSIs (median age, 67 years [IQR, 55-77 years]; 2389 men [52.2%]), 1969 patients (43.0%) receiving IV antibiotics were transitioned to oral antibiotics by day 7. Patients maintained on IV therapy were more likely than those transitioned to oral therapy to be immunosuppressed (833 of 2612 [31.9%] vs 485 of 1969 [24.6%]; P < .001), require intensive care unit admission (1033 of 2612 [39.5%] vs 334 of 1969 [17.0%]; P < .001), have fever or hypotension as of day 5 (423 of 2612 [16.2%] vs 49 of 1969 [2.5%]; P < .001), require kidney replacement therapy (280 of 2612 [10.7%] vs 63 of 1969 [3.2%]; P < .001), and less likely to have source control within 7 days (1852 of 2612 [70.9%] vs 1577 of 1969 [80.1%]; P < .001). Transitioning patients from IV to oral therapy by day 7 was highly variable across hospitals, ranging from 25.8% (66 of 256) to 65.9% (27 of 41). A total of 4109 patients (89.7%) achieved clinical stability within 5 days. For the 3429 episodes (74.9%) with successful source control by day 7, the median day of source control was day 2 (IQR, 1-3 days) for the oral group and day 2 (IQR, 1-4 days) for the IV group (P < .001). Common infection sources among patients administered oral therapy were the urinary tract (1277 of 1969 [64.9%]), hepatobiliary (239 of 1969 [12.1%]), and intra-abdominal (194 of 1969 [9.9%]). The median day of oral transition was 5 (IQR, 4-6 days). Total duration of antibiotic treatment was significantly shorter among the oral group than the IV group (median, 11 days [IQR, 9-14 days] vs median, 13 days [IQR, 8-16 days]; P < .001]. Fluoroquinolones (62.2% [1224 of 1969]), followed by β-lactams (28.3% [558 of 1969]) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (11.5% [227 of 1969]), were the most commonly prescribed oral antibiotics.
    Conclusions and relevance: In this cohort study of 4581 episodes of GN-BSIs, transition to oral antibiotic therapy by day 7 occurred in fewer than half of episodes, principally with fluoroquinolones, although this practice varied significantly between hospitals. There may have been additional opportunities for earlier and more frequent oral antibiotic transitions because most patients demonstrated clinical stability by day 5.

    Abstract Background: To address knowledge gaps in management of Gram-negative bloodstream infection, the Antibiotic Stewardship Implementation Collaborative was established consisting of programs from 24 academic and community hospitals across the United States.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of unique adult patients with Gram-negative bloodstream infection hospitalized at participating hospitals from January to December 2019. Patient level and microbiologic data were collected via electronic medical record review with a standardized data collection form and data dictionary. Data analysis was largely descriptive. The Pearson χ2 test to compare categorical variables and the Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables were used.
    Results: In total, 4851 bacterial isolates from 3710 eligible unique patients were included in the cohort. Most common source of infection was the urinary tract (47.9%). Source control was achieved in 84% of cases. Escherichia coli (2471, 51.0%) was the most common Gram-negative organism recovered. Antibiogram combining isolates from all participating centers with species-level susceptibilities and source specific antibiograms for isolates from urinary, respiratory, and intraabdominal source were created. Northeast sites contributed the most extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing organisms (73%), but West sites had the highest percentage of ESBL producers of total isolates (16%). A statistically significant difference in percentage of ESBL-producing organisms in Whites vs. non-Whites (14.6 % and 9.5 %, respectively,
    Conclusions: While the present study was conducted pre-pandemic, it highlights the need for stewardship data collaboratives to enhance our understanding of the antimicrobial resistance patterns.

    Abstract Background: The burden of vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (V-AKI) is unclear because it is not systematically monitored. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an electronic algorithm to identify cases of V-AKI and to determine its incidence.
    Methods: Adults and children admitted to 1 of 5 health system hospitals from January 2018 to December 2019 who received at least 1 dose of intravenous (IV) vancomycin were included. A subset of charts was reviewed using a V-AKI assessment framework to classify cases as unlikely, possible, or probable events. Based on review, an electronic algorithm was developed and then validated using another subset of charts. Percentage agreement and kappa coefficients were calculated. Sensitivity and specificity were determined at various cutoffs, using chart review as the reference standard. For courses ≥48 hours, the incidence of possible or probable V-AKI events was assessed.
    Results: The algorithm was developed using 494 cases and validated using 200 cases. The percentage agreement between the electronic algorithm and chart review was 92.5% and the weighted kappa was 0.95. The electronic algorithm was 89.7% sensitive and 98.2% specific in detecting possible or probable V-AKI events. For the 11 073 courses of ≥48 hours of vancomycin among 8963 patients, the incidence of possible or probable V-AKI events was 14.0%; the V-AKI incidence rate was 22.8 per 1000 days of IV vancomycin therapy.
    Conclusions: An electronic algorithm demonstrated substantial agreement with chart review and had excellent sensitivity and specificity in detecting possible or probable V-AKI events. The electronic algorithm may be useful for informing future interventions to reduce V-AKI.

    Abstract Background: Limited data are available to guide effective antibiotic durations for hospitalized patients with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs).
    Methods: We conducted an observational study of patients ≥18 years at 24 US hospitals to identify the optimal treatment duration for patients with cUTI. To increase the likelihood patients experienced true infection, eligibility was limited to those with associated bacteremia. Propensity scores were generated for an inverse probability of treatment weighted analysis. The primary outcome was recurrent infection with the same species ≤30 days of completing therapy.
    Results: 1099 patients met eligibility criteria and received 7 (n = 265), 10 (n = 382), or 14 (n = 452) days of therapy. There was no difference in the odds of recurrent infection for patients receiving 10 days and those receiving 14 days of therapy (aOR: .99; 95% CI: .52-1.87). Increased odds of recurrence was observed in patients receiving 7 days versus 14 days of treatment (aOR: 2.54; 95% CI: 1.40-4.60). When limiting the 7-day versus 14-day analysis to the 627 patients who remained on intravenous beta-lactam therapy or were transitioned to highly bioavailable oral agents, differences in outcomes no longer persisted (aOR: .76; 95% CI: .38-1.52). Of 76 patients with recurrent infections, 2 (11%), 2 (10%), and 10 (36%) in the 7-, 10-, and 14-day groups, respectively, had drug-resistant infections (P = .10).
    Conclusions: Seven days of antibiotics appears effective for hospitalized patients with cUTI when antibiotics with comparable intravenous and oral bioavailability are administered; 10 days may be needed for all other patients.

    Abstract Gram-negative bacteremia (GN-BSI) can cause significant morbidity and mortality, but the benefit of infectious diseases consultation (IDC) is not well defined. A 24-site observational cohort study of unique hospitalized patients with 4861 GN-BSI episodes demonstrated a 40% decreased risk of 30-day mortality in patients with IDC compared to those without IDC.
