RESUMO

Nephrotoxic medication (NTMx) exposure is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized children. The Nephrotoxic Injury Negated by Just-in time Action (NINJA) program decreased NTMx associated AKI (NTMx-AKI) by 62% at one center. To further test the program, we incorporated NINJA across nine centers with the goal of reducing NTMx exposure and, consequently, AKI rates across these centers. NINJA screens all non-critically ill hospitalized patients for high NTMx exposure (over three medications on the same day or an intravenous aminoglycoside over three consecutive days), and then recommends obtaining a daily serum creatinine level in exposed patients for the duration of, and two days after, exposure ending. Additionally, substitution of equally efficacious but less nephrotoxic medications for exposed patients starting the day of exposure was recommended when possible. The main outcome was AKI as defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) serum creatinine criteria (increase of 50% or 0.3 mg/dl over baseline). The primary outcome measure was AKI episodes per 1000 patient-days. Improvement was defined by statistical process control methodology and confirmed by Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) modeling. Eight consecutive bi-weekly measure rates in the same direction from the established baseline qualified as special cause change for special process control. We observed a significant and sustained 23.8% decrease in NTMx-AKI rates by statistical process control analysis and by ARIMA modeling; similar to those of the pilot single center. Thus, we have successfully applied the NINJA program to multiple pediatric institutions yielding decreased AKI rates.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE(S): To test if acute kidney injury (AKI) is preventable in patients in the neonatal intensive care unit and if infants at high-risk of nephrotoxic medication-induced AKI can be identified using a systematic surveillance program previously used in the pediatric non-intensive care unit setting. STUDY DESIGN: Quality improvement project that occurred between March 2015 and September 2017 in a single center, level IV neonatal intensive care unit. Infants were screened for high-risk nephrotoxic medication exposure (≥3 nephrotoxic medication within 24 hours or ≥4 calendar days of an intravenous [IV] aminoglycoside). If infants met criteria, a daily serum creatinine (SCr) was obtained until 2 days after end of exposure or end of AKI, whichever occurred last. The study was divided into 3 eras: pre-Nephrotoxic Injury Negated by Just-in-time Action (NINJA), initiation, and sustainability. Differences for 5 metrics across 3 eras were compared: SCr surveillance, high nephrotoxic medication exposure rate (per 1000 patient-days), AKI rate (per 1000 patient-days), nephrotoxin-AKI percentage, and AKI intensity (number of AKI days per 100 susceptible patient-days). RESULTS: Comparing the initiation with sustainability era, there was a reduction in high nephrotoxic medication exposures from 16.4 to 9.6 per 1000 patient-days (P = .03), reduction in percentage of nephrotoxic medication-AKI from 30.9% to 11.0% (P < .001), and reduction in AKI intensity from 9.1 to 2.9 per 100 susceptible patient-days (P < .001) while maintaining a high SCr surveillance rate. This prevented 100 AKI episodes during the 18-month sustainability era. CONCLUSION(S): A systematic surveillance program to identify high-risk infants can prevent nephrotoxic-induced AKI and has the potential to prevent short and long-term consequences of AKI in critically ill infants.

RESUMO

To determine the prevalence, mean fecal egg count intensities, and predominant gastrointestinal nematode species, fresh environmental fecal samples were collected from 30 grazing heifers at monthly intervals (June, July, and August) on 6 Saskatchewan dairy farms in 2016. The population average strongylid prevalence ranged from 67.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 49.5% to 84.9%] in June to 88.3% (95% CI: 76.7% to 100.0%) in August (P = 0.05) while the mean fecal egg count ranged from 1.7 in June to 9.3 eggs/g of feces in August (P < 0.003). The predominant nematode species were identified using a deep-sequencing nemabiome assay targeting the internal transcribed spacer rDNA genomic locus of both L1 and L3-stage larvae. Cooperia oncophora and Ostertagia ostertagi were predominant on all farms, accounting for > 85% of the species. The results provide important previously unavailable data on the epidemiology of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in fecal samples from these grazing heifers in Saskatchewan.


Examen des nématodes gastro-intestinaux chez les génisses en âge de se reproduire sur six fermes laitières de la Saskatchewan. Afin de déterminer la prévalence, l'intensité du dénombrement moyen d'oeufs dans les fèces et les espèces de nématodes gastro-intestinaux prédominants, des échantillons environnementaux de fèces fraîches furent prélevés de 30 génisses au pâturage à un intervalle mensuel (juin, juillet, et août) sur six fermes laitières de la Saskatchewan en 2016. La prévalence de la population moyenne de strongyles variait de 67,2 % [intervalle de confiance de 95 % (CI) : 49,5 % à 84,9 %] en juin à 88,3 % (CI 95 % : 76,7 % à 100,0 %) en août (P = 0,05) alors que le dénombrement moyen des oeufs dans les fèces variait de 1,7 en juin à 9,3 oeufs/g de fèces en août (P < 0,003). Les espèces de nématodes prédominantes furent identifiées à l'aide d'un test de séquençage profond du némabiome visant l'ADNr du locus génomique de l'espaceur interne transcrit des stades larvaires L1 et L3. Cooperia oncophora et Ostertagia ostertagi étaient prédominants sur toutes les fermes, représentant > 85 % des espèces. Ces résultats fournissent des données importantes non-disponibles auparavant sur l'épidémiologie de GIN dans des échantillons de fèces provenant de ces génisses au pâturage en Saskatchewan.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).
