Infliximab as a second-line therapy for children with refractory Kawasaki disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Suad Kabbaha, Alyssa Milano, Mamoon A. Aldeyab, Kristian Thorlund

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and impact of infliximab versus intravenous immunoglobulins in children with refractory Kawasaki disease. The results suggest that infliximab may reduce the incidence of treatment resistance, but its effect on the incidence of coronary artery aneurysms and adverse reactions is inconclusive. The overall strength of evidence is low, requiring further research.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on antibiotic consumption and prevalence of pathogens in primary and secondary healthcare settings in Northern Ireland

Mamoon A. Aldeyab, William Crowe, Reema A. Karasneh, Lynsey Patterson, Muhammad Sartaj, Judith Ewing, William J. Lattyak, Sayer Al-Azzam, Mohammad Araydah, Feras Darwish Elhajji, Suad Kabbaha, Barbara R. Conway, Geraldine Conlon-Bingham, David Farren, Michael Scott

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on antimicrobial use patterns and pathogen incidence in primary and secondary healthcare settings in Northern Ireland. Data on antibiotic use and pathogens were collected before and during the pandemic, and time series intervention analysis was conducted. The results showed that there was no significant change in hospital antibiotic consumption during the pandemic, but there were changes in the types of antibiotics used. In primary care, there was a decrease in antibiotic consumption during the pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of antimicrobial stewardship during pandemics.

Exploring thresholds and interaction effects among antibiotic usage, covariates, and their effect on antibiotic resistance using an extended-spectrum β-Lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae case

Mamoon A. Aldeyab, Zainab Said Al-Hashimy, Mubarak Al-Yaqoobi, Barbara R. Conway, Feras Darwish Elhajji, Stuart E. Bond, Elizabeth A. Lattyak, Syed Shahzad Hasan, William J. Lattyak

Summary: This study aimed to explore thresholds and interaction effects among antibiotic usage, covariates (alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR)), and their impact on ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae in hospitalized patients. The results showed that third-generation cephalosporins above 2.00 DDD/100 occupied bed days generally increased the incidence of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae, while ABHR levels above 6.61 L/100 OBD generally decreased the incidence. The study also identified an interaction between third-generation cephalosporins and ABHR, indicating the importance of not exceeding the threshold of 3.71 DDD/100 OBD for third-generation cephalosporin use.

Reporting Antimicrobial-Related Adverse Drug Events in Jordan: An Analysis from the VigiBase Database

Nizar Mahmoud Mhaidat, Sayer Al-Azzam, Hayaa Abdallah Banat, Jaber Mohammad Jaber, Mohammad Araydah, Osama Y. Alshogran, Mamoon A. Aldeyab

Summary: This study assessed the reporting of antimicrobial-related adverse drug events (ADEs) in Jordan between 2003 and 2022. A total of 279 Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) were recorded, with an increase in reporting since 2019. Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders were the most reported ADEs, and tetracyclines were the most commonly associated antibiotics. Patients who consumed Watch group antibiotics had a higher number of ADEs compared to those who consumed Access group antibiotics. Enhanced reporting of antimicrobial-related ADEs is needed to improve pharmacovigilance in Jordan.

The Impact of Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Infection in Critically Ill Patients with or without COVID-19 Infection

Thamer A. Alenazi, Maryam S. Bin Shaman, Durria M. Suliman, Turkiah A. Alanazi, Shoroq M. Altawalbeh, Hanan Alshareef, Doha I. Lahreche, Sayer Al-Azzam, Mohammad Araydah, Reema Karasneh, Faycal Rebahi, Marwah H. Alharbi, Mamoon A. Aldeyab

Summary: This single-center, retrospective, cohort study evaluated the clinical outcomes of multi-drug resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii infections (MDR-AB) in ICU patients with or without COVID-19 infection and risk factors for bloodstream infection. The study included 170 MDR-AB patients, of which 118 were admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19 infection. Patients with COVID-19 had higher rates of mechanical ventilation, septic shock, and the use of steroids and tocilizumab therapies. The average length of ICU stay was significantly lower in COVID-19 patients, but their survival rate was lower and COVID-19 infection was associated with higher hazards of death.
