20 DTP Tracker Data - Pneumonia In Pneumonia subgroup, AIMS failed to show a statistically significant benefit – DSEM DTP/total DTP (4.75% to 4.90%, p=NS) However, in Pneumonia subgroup, AIMS demonstrated a statistically significant REDUCTION – KPI/total DTP (5.07% to 3.94%, p=0.016)

21 Pharmaceutical Care of UTI and Pneumonia

22 UTI Pharmaceutical Care Outline When and When Not to treat with antibiotics? What antibiotics to initiate and Why? When, How, and Why to de-escalate antibiotics? How long to treat with antibiotics?

23 What Makes a UTI ‘Complicated’? Patients with structural or functional abnormalities of the genitourinary tract – Obstruction – Instrumentation (including catheters) – Impaired voiding – Metabolic abnormalities – Immunocompromised – Men Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol 2005;16:349-60.

24 UTI “Why should antibiotics be initiated?”  duration of symptoms  abscesses, metastatic infection, septic shock, AKI Clin Infect Dis 2005;40:643-54.

25 UTI “When should antibiotics be initiated?” – Clinical manifestations of cystitis Dysuria, frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, hematuria – Clinical manifestations of pyelonephritis Above symptoms together with fever (>38°C), chills, flank pain, costovertebral angle tenderness, and nausea/vomiting – Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy

26 Cystitis at IH “When should antibiotics be initiated?” “If clinically feasible, initiation of antimicrobial therapy should be delayed until results of urine culture are available” Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol 2005;16:349-60.

27 UTI at Interior Health “What antibiotics should be initiated and why?” Infection 2007;35:150-3. (Calgary Data 2004-5) Organisms Associated with Urinary Tract Infections

29 UTI at Interior Health “What antibiotics should be initiated and why?” *Enterococcus Susceptibilities at IH 2012

30 Risk Factors for Antibiotic Resistant UTIs – Abx exposure (especially to TMP/SMX or FQ) in past 3 months – Travel to endemic area – Previous multi-drug resistant UTI Clin Infect Dis 2005;40:643-54. UTI at Interior Health “What antibiotics should be initiated and why?”

31 Oral Antibiotic Selection – Oral antibiotics are first line for cystitis – Oral antibiotics are first line for uncomplicated pyelonephritis (not acutely ill) IV Antibiotic Selection – Unable to tolerate oral therapy (nausea/vomiting/ileus) – Impaired GI absorption – Hemodynamic instability (acutely ill) – Infecting organism resistant to available oral options Clin Infect Dis 2005;40:643-54., Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol 2005;16:349-60. UTI at Interior Health “What antibiotics should be initiated and why?”

32 Complicated Cystitis at IH “What antibiotics should be initiated?” “Oral antimicrobial therapy is appropriate for most episodes” Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol 2005;16:349-60.
