UNLABELLED: Community or healthcare-associated infectious diseases are common in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). The main objectives of this study were 1/to describe the clinical recommendations given during weekly round of infectious disease team into a PICU and 2/to assess its compliance.An observational prospective single-center study conducted over a one-year period in a PICU of a tertiary university hospital. All clinical recommendations provided by an infectious disease team during a weekly round were collected. We reported a total of 234 clinical recommendations on 148 patients (median age 34 months [IQR 2,5 months -126 months], 52% males). Infections occurred in patients with comorbidity in 73 (49%) of them. Ninety-three patients (40%) had pulmonary infections and patients presented with septic shock in 27 cases (12%). Clinical recommendations were categorized as diagnosis, therapeutic, preventive and monitoring in 98 (42%), 205 (88%), 41 (18%), 34 (15%) respectively. There were many therapeutic modifications after round, including treatment discontinuation (n = 82, 35%), spectrum modification (n = 54, 23%) and dosage adjustment (n = 15, 7%). The duration of treatment was also optimized in 144 situations (62%). Overall, we found a complete compliance with recommendations in most cases (n = 212, 90%).
CONCLUSION: We found a very good compliance of clinical recommendations provided on a weekly basis by an infectious disease team in a PICU. Larger pediatric studies are warranted to assess a potential benefit on patients' outcome.
WHAT IS KNOWN: • Antibiotic stewardship programs have been developed to optimize antimicrobial prescribing practices.
WHAT IS NEW: • A prospective audit and feedback from a pediatric infectious disease team during once weekly rounds in PICU is associated with good adherence. • Recommendations did not focus only on therapeutic management but also on diagnosis, prevention and follow-up.
