TO TREAT OR NOT TO TREAT THAT IS THE QUESTION Dr. Ruth Kandel Director, Infection Control Hebrew Senior. Life
Objectives • Define whether to screen for or treat asymptomatic bacteriuria in an elderly population • Review complications of antibiotic use • Define symptomatic urinary tract infections • Review challenges of diagnosis in the elderly 2
Clinical Infectious Disease 2005; 40: 643 -654 3
What is Asymptomatic Bacteriuria?
Asymptomatic Bacteriuria (ASB) • Laboratory diagnosis • Positive urine culture – Colony count significant (> 10⁵ cfu/m. L) • Absence of symptoms Clinical Infectious Disease 2010; 50: 625 -663 5
Pyuria • Pyuria (> 10 WBC / high-power field) is evidence of inflammation in the genitourinary tract • Pyuria is commonly found with ASB • Elderly institutionalized residents 90% • Short-term (< 30 days) catheters 30 -75% (Arch IM 2000; 160: 673 -82) • Long-term catheters 50 -100% (Am J Infect Control 1985; 13: 154 -60) (Infect Dis Clin North Am 1997; 11: 647 -62) 6
Treatment for ASB Indicated • Pregnant women – Increased risk for adverse outcomes • Urologic interventions • TURP • Any urologic procedure with potential mucosal bleeding 7
Treatment for ASB Not Indicated • • • Premenopausal, non-pregnant women Diabetic women Older persons living in the community Elderly living in long term care facilities Persons with spinal cord injury Catheterized patients CID 2005; 40: 643 -654 8
Prevalence of ASB POPULATION • Healthy premenopausal women • • Postmenopausal women (50 to 70 years of age)3 • Older community‐dwelling patients Prevalence % 1 -5 2. 8 -8. 6 0. 7 to 1. 0 – Women (older than 70 years) – Men • Older long‐term care residents – Women – Men • Patients with an indwelling catheter – Short‐term – Long‐term 10. 8‐ 16 3. 6‐ 19 25‐ 50 15‐ 40 9‐ 23 100 CID 2005; 40: 643 -654 9
No Benefit Treating ASB in the Elderly • Large long-term studies of ASB in pre and postmenopausal women – NO ADVERSE OUTCOMES in women not treated • Randomized studies (treatment vs. no treatment) in elderly LTC residents – NO BENEFIT to treatment – No decreased rate of symptoms – No improved survival CID 2005; 40: 643 -654 10

Antibiotic resistance increases mortality
Mortality associated with carbapenem resistant (CR) vs susceptible (CS) Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) p<0. 001 OR 3. 71 (1. 97 -7. 01) OR 4. 5 (2. 16 -9. 35) Patel G et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2008; 29: 1099 -1106
Mortality of resistant (MRSA) vs. susceptible (MSSA) S. aureus • • Mortality risk associated with MRSA bacteremia, relative to MSSA bacteremia: OR: 1. 93; p < 0. 001. 1 Mortality of MRSA infections was higher than MSSA: relative risk [RR]: 1. 7; 95% confidence interval: 1. 3– 2. 4). 2 1.

CDC: Get Smart About Antibiotics 24
CDC: Get Smart About Antibiotics • Antibiotic resistance is one of the world’s most pressing public threats. • Antibiotic resistance in long-term care increases risk – Hospitalization – Death – Cost of treatments 25
Antibiotic misuse adversely impacts patients- resistance • Increasing use of antibiotics increases the prevalence of resistant bacteria in hospitals.

Deaths from Gastroenteritis Double C. difficile and norovirus are the leading causes • Adults over 65 years old accounted for 83 percent of deaths. • Clostridium difficile and norovirus most common infectious causes. • Clostridium difficile – Accounted for two-thirds of the deaths. – Presumed cause is spread of a hypervirulent, resistant strain of C. difficile. CDC March 14, 2012 Press Release 34
Background: Epidemiology Risk Factors • • Antimicrobial exposure Main modifiable risk Acquisition of C. difficile factors Advanced age Underlying illness Immunosuppression Tube feeds Gastric acid suppression FDA Drug Safety Communication: Clostridium difficile infection can be associated with stomach acid drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) February 2012 35
When to Treat Urinary Tract Infections Long Term Care
Challenges • Comorbid illnesses may result in symptoms similar to UTIs. • Cognitive impairment may make reporting of symptoms difficult. • Older individuals can have atypical presentations for infections. • There is a lack of evidenced based guidelines for symptomatic UTIs. 37
Criteria for Surveillance, Diagnosis and Treatment • Based on consensus group recommendations • Modified by – Recent clinical practice guidelines – Current research 38
Criteria for Surveillance, Diagnosis and Treatment Consensus group recommendations • Mc. Geer criteria developed for surveillance and outcome assessments – Used by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services • Loeb criteria recommends minimal set of criteria necessary to initiate antibiotic therapy for UTI – Similar to IDSA Guidelines 39
Mc. Geer Criteria No Indwelling Catheter Chronic Indwelling Catheter • At least three of the following • At least two of the following – Fever* or chills – New or increased dysuria, frequency or urgency – New flank or suprapubic pain or tenderness – Change in character of urine – Worsening of mental or functional status – Fever* or chills – New flank or suprapubic pain or tenderness – Change in character of urine – Worsening of mental or functional status *Fever > 100. 4° F Am J Infect Control 1991; 19: 1 -7 40
Loeb Minimal Criteria Initiating Antibiotics No Indwelling Catheter • Acute dysuria Or • Fever* + new or worsening (must have at least one of following) Urgency Frequency Suprapubic pain Gross hematuria Costovertebral angle tenderness – Urinary incontinence – – – Chronic Indwelling Catheter Must have at least one of the following • Fever* • • • New costovertebral angle tenderness Rigors (shaking chills) New onset delirium *Fever > 100° or 2. 4° F above baseline ICHE 2001; 22: 120 -124 41

Collecting Urine Samples • Mid-stream or clean catch specimen for cooperative and functionally capable individuals. However, often necessary – For males to use freshly applied, clean condom (external) catheter and monitor bag frequently – For females to perform an in-and-out catheterization • Residents with long-term indwelling catheters – Change catheter prior to collection (sterile technique/equip. ) • Resident with short-term catheterization (< 30 days) – Obtain by sampling through the catheter port using aseptic technique – If port not present may puncture the catheter tubing with a needle and syringe – If catheter in place > 2 weeks at onset of infection, replace CID 2009; 48: 149 -171 CID 2010; 50: 625 -663 46
Role of Urine Analysis and Dipstick Testing in the Evaluation of Urinary Tract Infection in Nursing Home Residents • Negative urine analysis for WBCs and negative dipsticks tests for leukocyte esterase and nitrites do not support UTI BUT cannot completely rule it out – – Leukocyte esterase (LE) • Enzyme found in white blood cells (WBCs) Nitrites • Certain bacteria reduce urinary nitrates to nitrites – Pyuria • > 10 WBC / high-power field Squamous cells Increased number suggests contamination Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2007; 28: 889 -891 Am Fam Phys 2005; 71: 1153 -1162 47
Urine Culture • A urine culture should always be obtained when evaluating SYMPTOMATIC infections. • Urine cultures will assist in appropriate antibiotic selection. • A negative urine culture obtained prior to initiation of antibiotics excludes routine bacterial urinary infection 48
At least one of the following that are new or increased □ Fever (> 100°F or 2. 4°F > baseline) □ Costovertebral angle tenderness □ Rigors (shaking chills) □ Delirium □ Flank pain* or pelvic discomfort* □ Acute hematuria* □ Malaise or lethargy with no other cause* *CID 2010; 50: 625 -663 Acute dysuria alone OR Fever (> 100°F or 2. 4°F > baseline) AND at least one of the following that is new or increased □ Urgency □ Frequency □ Suprapubic pain □ Gross hematuria □ Costovertebral angle tenderness □ Urinary incontinence □ Change in mental status* □ Rigors (shaking chills)* If accompanied only by fever, rule out other causes *CID 2012; 54: 973 -978 BMJ 2005; 331: 669 49
Key Points • Routine screening for and treatment of ASB is not recommended – In older individuals in the community – In elderly residents in LTCFs • Get Smart About Antibiotics – Antibiotic resistance is one of the world’s most pressing public threats. – Clostridium difficile infections are on the rise and are associated with increased mortality especially among the elderly • Treat only symptomatic urinary tract infections in the elderly – Refer to clinical guidelines to assist in making a diagnosis 50
