OBJECTIVES: Shortening the duration of antibiotic therapy (DAT) for common infectious diseases may be an effective strategy to tackle antimicrobial resistance. Shorter DAT has been proven safe and effective for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), cellulitis, and cholangitis.
METHODS: In a retrospective multicentre quality-control study, medical records of 770 patients hospitalized with CAP, cellulitis, and cholangitis at three tertiary care hospitals in Switzerland during 2017-2018 were randomly selected. Appropriateness of antibiotic treatment duration was assessed according to international and local guidelines.
RESULTS: Records of 271, 260, and 239 patients with CAP, cellulitis, and cholangitis were included, respectively. Median DAT was seven days (interquartile range [IQR] 6-9), ten days (IQR 8-13), and nine days (IQR 6-13) in CAP, cellulitis, and cholangitis, respectively. DAT longer than recommended by local and international guidelines was observed in 32% and 37% of CAP patients, 23% and 70% of cellulitis patients, and 33% and 37% of cholangitis patients, respectively. Positive blood cultures (odds ratio [OR] = 2.42 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33-4.34]), infectious diseases consultation (OR = 1.79 [95% CI 1.05-2.78]), impaired renal function (OR = 0.99 [95% CI 0.98-1.00] per 1 ml/min / 1.73 m2 increase in estimated glomerular filtration rate) and a higher degree of inflammation on admission (OR = 1.0 [95% CI 1.001-1.005] per 10 mg/L increase in C-reactive protein) were independently associated with a DAT longer than recommended in international guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS: DAT exceeded recommendations in a significant proportion of patients with mostly community-acquired infections.
