Trends in and Predictors of Carbapenem Consumption across North American Hospitals : Results from a Multicenter Survey by the MAD-ID Research Network

Copyright © 2019 American Society for Microbiology..

We sought to define trends in and predictors of carbapenem consumption across community, teaching, and university-affiliated hospitals in the United States and Canada. We conducted a retrospective multicenter survey of carbapenem and broad-spectrum noncarbapenem beta-lactam consumption between January 2011 and December 2013. Consumption was tabulated as defined daily doses (DDD) or as days of therapy (DOT) per 1,000 patient days (PD). Multivariate mixed-effects models were explored, and final model goodness of fit was assessed by regressions of observed versus predicted values and residual distributions. A total of 20 acute-care hospitals responded. The centers treated adult patients (n = 19/20) and pediatric/neonatal patients (n = 17/20). The majority of the centers were nonprofit (n = 17/20) and not affiliated with medical/teaching institutions (n = 11/20). The median (interquartile range [IQR]) carbapenem consumption rates were 38.8 (17.4 to 95.7) DDD/1,000 PD and 29.7 (19.2 to 40.1) DOT/1,000 PD overall. Carbapenem consumption was well described by a multivariate linear mixed-effects model (fixed effects, R2 = 0.792; fixed plus random effects, R2 = 0.974). Carbapenem consumption increased by 1.91-fold/quarter from 48.6 DDD/1,000 PD (P = 0.004) and by 0.056-fold/quarter from 45.7 DOT/1,000 PD (P = 0.93) over the study period. Noncarbapenem consumption was independently related to increasing carbapenem consumption (beta = 0.31 for increasing noncarbapenem beta-lactam consumption; P < 0.001). Regular antibiogram publication and promotion of conversion from intravenous (i.v.) to oral (p.o.) administration independently affected carbapenem consumption rates. In the final model, 58.5% of the observed variance in consumption was attributable to between-hospital differences. Rates of carbapenem consumption across 20 North American hospitals differed greatly, and the observed differences were correlated with hospital-specific demographics. Additional studies focusing on the drivers of hospital-specific carbapenem consumption are needed to determine whether these rates are justifiable.
