AHRQ Goal
To implement and evaluate evidence-based methods or strategies for reducing the inappropriate use of antibiotics in primary care office practices
• must address:1. conditions for which abx are not effective2. broad-spectrum antibiotic use when
narrow-spectrum antibiotics are indicated
![Page 6: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Background
• about half of antibiotic use is unnecessary• overuse well-documented in primary care• antibiotic overuse leads to:
bacterial resistance drug-related adverse events increases in health care costs
$20 billion estimated by IOM

Antibiotic Resistance
![Page 8: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Resistance Aside. . .
• 5%–25% diarrhea• 1 in 1000 visit emergency department for
adverse effect of antibiotic– comparable to insulin, warfarin, and digoxin
• 1 in 4000 chance that an antibiotic will prevent serious complication from URI

Antimicrobial Stewardship
• Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs recommended for hospitals
• most antibiotic use (and misuse) occurs in the outpatient setting
• is outpatient “stewardship” achievable?

Summary of variability data
• antibiotic prescribing at sick visits varies significantly across practice sites
• broad-spectrum antibiotic prescribing at sick visits varies significantly across practice sites
• the rate of diagnosis of ARTIs varies significantly across practice sites
• adherence to prescribing guidelines for AOM, sinusitis, GAS pharyngitis, and pneumonia varies significantly across practice sites

Summary of race data
• black children receive fewer antibiotic prescriptions per sick visit and per child than non-black children
• black children are diagnosed with less ARTI than non-black children
• when diagnosed with AOM, black children receive more appropriate (i.e. less broad-spectrum) antibiotics
• black children have less sick visits than non-black children (but equal number of well visits)
![Page 35: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Why?
• confounding?• difference in epidemiology of disease,
including BOTH prevalence and severity of illness linked with race?
• parental expectations/pressure linked with race?
• perception of parental expectations/pressure linked with race?

Agenda
1. Rationale for assessing antibiotic use
2. Antibiotic prescribing data• across-practice analyses• within-clinician analyses
3. Intervention
![Page 37: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Specific Aim
• To determine the impact of an outpatient antimicrobial stewardship bundle within a pediatric primary care network on antibiotic prescribing for common ARTI:1. Antibiotic prescribing for viral infections
2. Broad-spectrum antibiotic prescribing for conditions for which narrow-spectrum antibiotics are indicated.
![Page 38: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Study Design
• cluster-randomized controlled trial• bundled intervention vs. no intervention• unit of observation will be the practitioner
but randomized at practice level– natural distribution of physicians– avoids intra-practice contamination
![Page 39: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Intervention
1. guideline development
2. education
3. audit and feedback

Hypotheses
1. clinicians have incomplete knowledge of the data regarding the effectiveness of antibiotics for respiratory tract infections
GAS and broad spectrum antibiotics antibiotic activity against pneumococcus prevention of bacterial superinfection role of moraxella and Hflu in disease
2. clinicians are unaware of/have not been presented with data regarding their own prescribing of antibiotics
![Page 43: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Education
• on site, interactive sessions for each practice randomized to the intervention– present the purpose of the study– discuss guideline development/contents– instruct how to access guidelines– explain audit & feedback– present baseline data– gather feedback
![Page 44: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Guidelines
• review AAP and Red Book guidelines• pediatric primary care/ID/clinical pharmacy• modified if necessary• generate benchmarks
![Page 45: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
GAS: Rationale for penicillin/amox
• GAS resistance to pcn has NEVER been seen • azithromycin and cephalosporins
have NOT been shown to be superior for pharyngitis or for prevention of sequelae
data does not support increased patient compliance over oral penicillin or amoxicillin.
exposure promotes resistance to these and other antibiotics.

Data Collection
• EPIC EMR• ICD9 coding
– diagnoses– chronic medical conditions
• antibiotic orders• telephone encounters• age, race/ethnicity, sex, insurance, allergies• provider: degree, yr grad, sex, % effort, practice
volume, support staff

Analysis/Sample Size
• descriptive analysis of changes within and among sites.
• multivariable repeated measures analysis using generalized linear models
• 140 clinicians; 70 each arm• power > 0.9 to detect 10% improvement in
prescribing
![Page 53: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Randomization
• 22 of 24 Enrolled (18 “sites”)• 143,254 patients; 512,943 encounters
– 49.5% female– 69% White
• each site enumerated by location and volume• block-randomized 9 sites to each arm

Some Limitations
• ICD9 codes– misclassification of outcome– intervention may change coding
• contamination of intervention• lack of “buy-in” by practitioners• generalizability
![Page 59: Antibiotic Prescribing at CHOP: Primary Care Jeffrey S. Gerber MD, PhD, MSCE Division of Infectious Diseases The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cdc5503460f949a6e43/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Future Directions
• complete analysis• assess durability of effect (if there is one)• gather qualitative data from providers
• predictors of prescribing• clinical pathways/decision support?
