RESUMO

Background: To better monitor patients on outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT), we need an improved understanding of risk factors for and timing of OPAT-associated adverse drug events (ADEs). Methods: We analyzed a prospective cohort of patients on OPAT discharged from 2 academic medical centers. Patients underwent chart abstraction and a telephone survey. Multivariable analyses estimated adjusted incident rate ratios (aIRR) between clinical and demographic risk factors and clinician-determined clinically significant ADEs. Descriptive data were used to present patient-reported ADEs. Results: Of 339 patients enrolled in the study, 18.0% experienced an ADE (N = 65), of which 49 were significant (14.5%, 2.24/1000 home-OPAT days). Patients with longer courses of therapy had lower rates of ADEs compared with patients treated for 0-13 days (14-27 days: aIRR, 0.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20-0.99; at least 28 days: aIRR, 0.11; 95% CI, 0.056-0.21). Risk factors for ADEs included female gender and receipt of daptomycin or vancomycin, while treatment for uncomplicated bacteremia and empiric treatment were associated with lower rates of ADEs. Conclusions: OPAT-related ADEs were common and often occurred within 2 weeks of hospital discharge. Patients on OPAT should be monitored more closely for ADEs, including clinical assessment and laboratory monitoring, especially within the first weeks after hospital discharge and particularly among women and patients who receive vancomycin.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND Patients are frequently discharged with central venous catheters (CVCs) for home infusion therapy. OBJECTIVE To study a prospective cohort of patients receiving home infusion therapy to identify environmental and other risk factors for complications. DESIGN Prospective cohort study between March and December 2015. SETTING Home infusion therapy after discharge from academic medical centers. PARTICIPANTS Of 368 eligible patients discharged from 2 academic hospitals to home with peripherally inserted central catheters and tunneled CVCs, 222 consented. Patients remained in the study until 30 days after CVC removal. METHODS Patients underwent chart abstraction and monthly telephone surveys while the CVC was in place, focusing on complications and environmental exposures. Multivariable analyses estimated adjusted odds ratios and adjusted incident rate ratios between clinical, demographic, and environmental risk factors and 30-day readmissions or CVC complications. RESULTS Of 222 patients, total parenteral nutrition was associated with increased 30-day readmissions (adjusted odds ratio, 4.80 [95% CI, 1.51-15.21) and CVC complications (adjusted odds ratio, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.09-5.33]). Exposure to soil through gardening or yard work was associated with a decreased likelihood of readmissions (adjusted odds ratio, 0.09 [95% CI, 0.01-0.74]). Other environmental exposures were not associated with CVC complications. CONCLUSIONS complications and readmissions were common and associated with the use of total parenteral nutrition. Common environmental exposures (well water, cooking with raw meat, or pets) did not increase the rate of CVC complications, whereas soil exposures were associated with decreased readmissions. Interventions to decrease home CVC complications should focus on total parenteral nutrition patients. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;1-8.
