  1. Epidemiology and Healthcare Associated Infection: What does the future hold? Denise Gravel, PhD(c) August 29, 2014 University of OttawaDepartment of Epidemiology & Community MedicineSummer Institute 2014 CIPARS INTEGRATED AMR RESULTS 2012

  2. Overview • Review of healthcare-associated infections • Antimicrobial resistant organisms: why are they important • Current research focus • Examples studies in healthcare epidemiology

  3. Introduction • Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions and are the most frequent adverse event during care delivery • formerly « nosocomial » and/or « hospital acquired » • Burden remains unknown because of the difficulty in gathering reliable data • surveillance is complex and requires the use of standardized criteria • availability of diagnostic facilities • expertise to conduct it and interpret the results Horan TC, Andrus M, Dudeck MA. Am J Infect Control.2008; 36(5):309–332.

  4. Common HAI, in order of relative frequency • Urinary tract infections (UTI) • 80% Catheter-associated (CAUTI) • Prevalence 4.3% • Pneumonia (HAP) • 30% Ventilator-associated (VAP) • Prevalence 2.7% • Surgical site infections (SSI) • Prevalence 2.7% • Blood stream infections (BSI) • 40% Central venous catheter associated (CVC-BSI or CLBSI) • Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) • Prevalence 1.5% Children, in addition to the above • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) • Viral respiratory infections and gastroenteritis (VRI/VGE) Gravel et al. Am J Infect Control.2009

  5. Impact of HAI on healthcare delivery • Lengthened hospital stays, • Delays in new admissions • Risk of wide propagation of infection & increased mortality • Units/facilities closed due to isolation/quarantine policy • Increased use of diagnostic tests & expensive treatments • Undermining of governments efforts to improve the healthcare system, e.g. • access, • quality, and • wait times

  6. Burden of illness of HAI • In Europe: • 16 million extra-days of hospital stay, • 37 000 attributable deaths, and contribute to an additional 110 000 every year. • annual financial losses approximately € 7 billion, direct costs only. • In the USA, • approximately 99 000 deaths were attributed to HAI in 2009 • annual economic impact was estimated at approximately US$ 6.5 billion in 2010. • Several studies showed that increased length of stay between 5 and 29 days.

  7. What about Canada? “Each year in Canada over 220,000+ HAIs result in 8,500-12,000 deaths… rates are rising. HAI are the fourth leading cause of death in Canada.” “One in eight patients hospitalized in Canada will developed a HAI. Deaths directly related to C.difficile have increased by 5 fold the past decade.” • The healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection rate increased more than 1,000% from 1995 to 2009. • About 80% of common infections are spread by healthcare workers, patients and visitors. Direct medical costs associated with HAI exceeded $CDN200 million annually in 2009 Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) alone was CDN$46.1 million MRSA was estimated at CDN$36.3 million Surgical site infections (SSI) at CDN$24 million Zoutman et al, AJIC 2003; 31(5): 266-272 CPHO 2013 Report CPSI, The Economics of Patient Care, 2012

  8. Estimated attributable per inpatient costs of HAI* *Based on US$ adjusted by 2007 CPI for inpatient services **Average attributable costs based on reported studies from 1997-2005 †Increments of $1000 ‡Based on reported studies prior to the emergence of hypervirulent NAP1 Gravel, D. 2011 unpublished

  9. Increasing Attention to AMR Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer for England: 'Antibiotic resistance is like climate change in that we're doing it to ourselves. But there are no sceptics' 'as big a risk as terrorism’ Dr. Arjun Srinivasan, Associate Director Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “There have been covers of magazines about the end of antibiotics, question mark; I would say you can change the title to the end of antibiotics, period”

  11. The drivers of AMR • Examples include: • Salmonella heidelberg • Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) (e.g., NDM-1) • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) • Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) • Multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) • Neisseria gonorrhoeae • Escherichia coli (E.coli) • Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) • Candida spp. andAspergillus Demographic changes Climate change Healthcare Trade Globalization Travel Human Behaviour Antimicrobial Resistance Agriculture and Veterinary Practices Environmental Sources ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN CANADA: WORKING TOWARDS A COMMON UNDERSTANDING

  12. Why is AMR a global concern? • AMR kills • Prolonged illness & greater risk of death. • AMR hampers the control of infectious diseases & healthcare gains • Potential spread of resistant microorganisms to others. • AMR increases the cost of health care • Need for more expensive & lengthy treatments in healthcare settings • AMR jeopardizes healthcare gains to society • Without effective antimicrobials, the success of treatments such as organ transplantation, cancer chemotherapy & major surgery would be compromised. • AMR threatens health security and damages economies & trade • Global trade & travel – AMR organisms spread rapidly to distant countries & continents. • AMR threatens a return to the pre-antibiotic era • Health-related UN Millennium Development Goals set for 2015 in jeopardy.

  13. Why is antimicrobial resistance a concern in Canada? • AMR is a global threat to the prevention and control of infectious diseases • It is complex and multi-faceted • The loss of effective antibiotics will undermine our ability to fight infectious diseases • Increasing morbidity and mortality throughout world • Less effective antimicrobials for treatment of infectious diseases • Longer, more severe illnesses / complications in vulnerable populations • Increasing costs to the health care system (i.e. hospitalization, wait time, complex treatments) • Investment in development of new antibiotics is decreasing • Research, development and commercialization to bring a new antibiotic to market is costly and may take years to develop. • Potential return to a pre-antibiotic era treatment options for a number of resistant infections are running out (i.e. multi-drug resistant gonorrhea)

  15. The Beta-Lactam Antibiotics Expended 1930s TEM-1, SHV-1 Penicillins Expended late 1970s Carbapenemases ESBLs TEM/SHV-variants CTX-M Carbapenems Expended in 1990s-2000s Cephalosporins

  16. Research Focus over the years • 1970s: establishing evidence for infection prevention and control programs • 1980s: focussed on risk factors for HAI • understanding device associated HAI • 1990s: focussed on antimicrobial resistance • outcomes research • preventing infections in health-care personnel; • 2000s: focussed on prevention in an era of increasing complexity of medical care • preventing bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, and pneumonia associated with healthcare • infection prevention in special populations, pediatric, geriatric, and immunocompromised patients; • infection control in nonhospital settings, including long-term care, home health care, and ambulatory care;

  17. Research: Future Focus • 2010s: advancing healthcare epidemiology using business cases, patient safety, and performance improvement methods • combatting ESKAPE pathogens —Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella species, Acinetobacterbaumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species. • optimizing the implementation of infection control interventions that are known to be effective • modelling interventions: understanding what works and how • health care costs of HAI/AMR • cost effectiveness studies

  24. An intervention to decrease catheter-related bloodstream infections in the ICUPronovost et al, NEJM 2006 • Cohort study in 108 ICUs in Michigan, comparing BSI rates before, during, and 18-months after implementing IPC interventions • Calculated rate per 100 catheter-days X 3months, adjusted using generalized linear latent and mixed model with Poisson distribution • Nested clustering for BSI within hospital, within geographic regions plus third level clustering potential ICU effect Catheter placed into a large vein, tip is lodged in the right atrium Sites of insertion: right and left subclavian, internal jugular and femoral veins

  25. An intervention to decrease catheter-related bloodstream infections in the ICUPronovost et al, NEJM 2006 • procedure cart for central line insertion • adherence to recommended guidelines • hand washing • sterile gloves & gown • mask and cap • sterile drape (preferably full body drape) • chlorhexidine-based skin prep • maintenance of sterile field • use of subclavian site and tunnelled, cuffed catheter • authorizing nurses to stop any procedure that did not follow catheter insertion guidelines • daily assessment of the need to continue central line use

  28. Targeted vs Universal Decolonization to Prevent ICU InfectionHuang et al. NEJM 2013 • Cluster-randomized trial in 74 ICUs (43 hospitals) in California • Hospitals were assigned to: 1. MRSA screening and isolation, 2. targeted decolonization, 3. universal colonization • Proportional hazards models were used to assess differences in infection rates, clustering to hospital Decolonization: BID intranasal mupirocin x 5 days with daily bathing chlorhexidine

  29. Targeted vs Universal Decolonization to Prevent ICU InfectionHuang et al. NEJM 2013 Universal decolonization was more effective than targeted decolonization or screening/isolation in reducing MRSA clinical infections and bloodstream infections from any pathogen Question: Is it cost effective?
