- W4200236838 abstract "Abstract Background Patients with COVID-19 receive high rates of antibiotic therapy, despite viral origin of infection. Reports of bacterial coinfection range from 3.5 to 8% in the early phase of infection. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between diagnostic tests and antibiotic utilization in patients admitted with COVID-19 at the University of Maryland Medical Center to better inform future prescribing practices. Methods Retrospective cohort study of adult patients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR on admission from March 2020 through June 2020. Associations between diagnostic tests employed and antibiotic initiation and duration were explored using bivariate analysis (SPSS®). Results Baseline characteristics of 224 included patients are reported in Table 1. Excluding SARS-CoV-2 PCRs, most frequently performed diagnostic tests included blood cultures (65.6%), MRSA nasal surveillance (45.1%), respiratory cultures (36.2%), respiratory viral panel (RVP) (33.0%), and Legionella (28.6%) and pneumococcal (26.3%) urine antigens. Positivity of RVP, Legionella, pneumococcus, blood, and respiratory tests were low (1.3%, 0.4%, 0.9%, 1.8%, and 6.7%, respectively). A total of 62% of patients were initiated on antibacterial therapy with a median cumulative antibiotic duration of 77.9 hours (IQR 41.4, 111.8). History of chronic respiratory disease (76% vs. 58.6%; P=0.025), any degree of oxygen requirement on admission (72% vs. 42.6%; P=0.006), and performance of blood cultures (70.7% vs. 46.8%, P< 0.0001) were associated with antibiotic initiation. Positive bacterial diagnostic respiratory culture (median duration 72.8h [IQR 46.7, 96.6] vs. 97.3h [IQR 79.8, 194.1]; P=0.027) and positive blood culture (median duration 80.1h [IQR 42.1, 111.7] vs. 97.5h [IQR 71.8, 164.8]; P=0.046) were associated with longer antibiotic duration. Patients who did not have respiratory cultures performed had similar antibiotic durations as those with negative respiratory cultures. Table 1. Baseline Characteristics Conclusion Despite low coinfection rates, negative diagnostic tests did not result in shorter empiric antibacterial duration. These findings highlight the ongoing need for both diagnostic and antimicrobial stewardship in COVID-19. Disclosures Emily Heil, PharmD, MS, BCIDP, Nothing to disclose Kimberly C.
