A new local PAP guideline was implemented in May 2017 and set the first-generation cefazolin (CFZ) instead the second-generation cefuroxime (CXM) as the new standard prophylactic antibiotic. The aim of this study was to compare the risk of SSIs after this implementation in intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) without sepsis. Methods: We performed a single center-quality improvement study at a 1500 bed sized university hospital in Germany analyzing patients after emergency surgery during 2016 to 2019 (n = 985), of which patients receiving CXM or CFZ were selected (n = 587). Propensity score matching was performed to ensure a comparable risk of SSIs in both groups. None-inferiority margin for SSIs was defined as 8% vs. 4%. Results: Two matched cohorts with respectively 196 patients were compared. The rate of SSIs was higher in the CFZ group (7.1% vs. 3.6%, p = 0.117) below the non-inferiority margin. The rate of other postoperative infections was significantly higher in the CFZ group (2.0% vs. 8.7%, p = 0.004). No other differences including postoperative morbidity, mortality or length-of-stay were observed. Conclusion: Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis might be safely maintained by CFZ even in the treatment of intra-abdominal infections.

Aktuelle Studien legen nahe, dass viele Patienten keine Nachteile durch kürzere Therapien mit schmaler wirksamen Antibiotika oder das vermeiden einer nicht notwendigen antibiotischen Therapie haben. Methoden: Es wurde eine retrospektive Kohortenstudie durch Analyse von elektronischen Patientenakten an einem 1500-Betten-Universitätsklinikum in Deutschland durchgeführt, bei der die Dauer der Antibiotikatherapie nach Notfalloperationen erhoben und mit antibiotischen Leitlinien durch die hausinterne Antibiotic-Stewardship-Abteilung (AMS) verglichen. Ergebnisse: 767 Patienten konnten eingeschlossen werden, davon erhielten 404 (52.7%) eine PAT. Die Gesamtanzahl der Therapietage pro 100 Patiententagen ging von 47,0 auf 42,2 Tage zurück (p = 0,035) ohne einen Anstieg an Komplikationen. Patienten ohne Sepsis, bei denen eine initiale chirurgischer Fokuskontrolle möglich war profitierten nicht von einer Therapiedauer über 4 Tage (160 vs 100 Patienten). Bei Patienten, bei denen diese Bedingungen nicht gegeben waren, zeigte sich ebenfalls kein Vorteil bei längeren Behandlungen (über >7 Tage, 74 lang vs. 32 kurz behandelte Patienten). Es zeigte sich ebenfalls kein Vorteil von empirischen Therapien mit Carbapenem statt mit Piperacillin-Tazobactam (n=51 C vs n=40 vs Pip/Taz). Schlussfolgerung: Die Reduktion unnötiger, zu breiter und zu langer antibiotischer Therapien bei cIAI ist ohne einen Anstieg der postoperativen Komplikationen möglich. Weitere RCTs sind notwendig, um das Wissen um sichere Behandlungen zu vergrößern. N2 - Objectives: The aim of this dissertation is to evaluate empirical antibiotic therapies (PAT) for complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) in 2016 - 2018 in a large German maximum care hospital. Current studies suggest that many patients have no disadvantages due to shorter therapies with less effective antibiotics or the avoidance of unnecessary antibiotic therapy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted by analyzing electronic patient records at a 1500-bed university hospital in Germany, in which the duration of antibiotic therapy after emergency surgery was collected and compared with antibiotic guidelines by the in-house antibiotic stewardship department (AMS). Results: 767 patients were included, of which 404 (52.7%) received PAT. The total number of days of therapy per 100 patient days decreased from 47.0 to 42.2 days (p = 0.035) without an increase in complications. Patients without sepsis in whom initial surgical focus control was possible did not benefit from a treatment duration of more than 4 days (160 vs 100 patients). In patients who did not meet these conditions, there was also no advantage to longer treatments (over >7 days, 74 patients treated for a long time vs. 32 for a short time). There was also no advantage of empirical treatment with carbapenem instead of piperacillin-tazobactam (n=51 C vs n=40 vs Pip/Taz). Conclusion: The reduction of unnecessary, too broad and too long antibiotic therapies in cIAI is possible without an increase in postoperative complications. Further RCTs are needed to increase the knowledge of safe treatments.
