Surveillance of resistance in bacteria causing community-acquired respiratory tract infections

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics in community-acquired respiratory tract infections is a serious problem and is increasing in prevalence world-wide at an alarming rate. Streptococcus pneumoniae , one of the main organisms implicated in respiratory tract infections, has developed multiple resistance mechanisms to combat the effects of most commonly used classes of antibiotics, particularly the β -lactams (penicillin, aminopenicillins and cephalosporins) and macrolides. Furthermore, multidrug-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae have spread to all regions of the world, often via resistant genetic clones. A similar spread of resistance has been reported for other major respiratory tract pathogens, including Haemophilus influenzae , Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pyogenes . To develop and support resistance control strategies it is imperative to obtain accurate data on the prevalence, geographic distribution and antibiotic susceptibility of respiratory tract pathogens and how this relates to antibiotic prescribing patterns. In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing longitudinal national and international surveillance programs to monitor antibiotic resistance, such that the prevalence of resistance and underlying trends over time are now well documented for most parts of Europe, and many parts of Asia and the Americas. However, resistance surveillance data from parts of the developing world (regions of Central America, Africa, Asia and Central/Eastern Europe) remain poor. The quantity and quality of surveillance data is very heterogeneous; thus there is a clear need to standardize or validate the data collection, analysis and interpretative criteria used across studies. If disseminated effectively these data can be used to guide empiric antibiotic therapy, and to support—and monitor the impact of—interventions on antibiotic resistance.     

Co‐occurring medical conditions in adults with Down syndrome: A systematic review toward the development of health care guidelines. Part II

Adults with Down syndrome (DS) represent a unique population who are in need of clinical guidelines to address their medical care. Many of these conditions are of public health importance with the potential to develop screening recommendations to improve clinical care for this population. Our workgroup previously identified and prioritized co‐occurring medical conditions in adults with DS. In this study, we again performed detailed literature searches on an additional six medical conditions of clinical importance. A series of key questions (KQ) were formulated a priori to guide the literature search strategy. Our KQs focused on disease prevalence, severity, risk‐factors, methodologies for screening/evaluation, impact on morbidity, and potential costs/benefits. The available evidence was extracted, evaluated and graded on quality. The number of participants and the design of clinical studies varied by condition and were often inadequate for answering most of the KQ. Based upon our review, we provide a summary of the findings on hip dysplasia, menopause, acquired cardiac valve disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hematologic disorders, and dysphagia. Minimal evidence demonstrates significant gaps in our clinical knowledge that compromises clinical decision‐making and management of these medically complex individuals. The creation of evidence‐based clinical guidance for this population will not be possible until these gaps are addressed.     

Video analysis of communication in paediatric consultations in primary care.

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of research evidence concerning communication in paediatric consultations between GPs, adults, and child patients. AIM: This study was carried out to identify features of the interaction between a doctor, a child patient aged 6-12 years, and their carer in the consultation associated with the child's participation. DESIGN OF STUDY: A qualitative analysis of video recordings of 31 primary care paediatric consultations was undertaken, using strategies from the methodology of conversation analysis. SETTING: Primary care, Suffolk, UK. METHOD: NHS GPs from three primary care trusts (PCTs), were invited to participate in this study. Sixteen volunteers from this sample took part. RESULTS: Analysis of the interaction in the consultations revealed that the children had little involvement. Children participated when invited to do so, and took more time than adults to answer a doctor's question. An adult carer was less likely to answer on behalf of a child, when they were in a position to see that the doctor's gaze was directed at the child, and the doctor addressed the child by name. Adult carers, who had not voiced their own concerns first, were seen to interrupt doctor-child talk. In consultations where the participants sat in a triangular arrangement, all parties being an equal distance apart, triadic talk was noted. CONCLUSION: Child involvement in the primary care consultation is associated with adult carers being able to voice their own concerns early in the consultation, and children being invited to speak with the appropriate recipient design.     

An observational study of variation in GPs' out-of-hours emergency referrals.

Out-of-hours organisations are responsible for the care of patients 70% of the time, and their GPs act as gatekeepers to secondary care services. This observational study identifies the variations in GPs' out-of-hours referral rates to secondary care and factors that could explain these variations. One hundred and forty-nine GPs who worked in one UK general practice out-of-hours cooperative which served 19 practices with 167 000 registered patients. Data on patients who accessed the out-of-hours service over 3 years (2001-2004) were examined. Factors thought to be predictors of variation in referral rates were investigated using logistic regression analysis. There was a fivefold difference in referral rates between the lowest and highest referring quartiles of GPs (OR [odds ratio] = 4.56, CI [confidence interval] = 3.86 to 5.38). The sex (female) of the clinician, the time of the consultation (11 pm to 7 am), and the place of the consultation (home visit) accounted for some, but not all, of the increased referral rates. A doctor working out-of-hours disproportionately influences the fate of the patient, the number of hospital admissions, and extra costs to the health service. There is a need for follow-up studies to investigate the factors associated with referral behaviour, and how the variation relates to patient factors and the resources available. These findings could be used when planning the staffing of out-of-hours services to optimise appropriate care and minimise patients' exposure to unnecessary intrusive and expensive hospital care.     

Understanding general practice: a conceptual framework developed from case studies in the UK NHS

BACKGROUND: General practice in the UK is undergoing a period of rapid and profound change. Traditionally, research into the effects of change on general practice has tended to regard GPs as individuals or as members of a professional group. To understand the impact of change, general practices should also be considered as organisations. AIM: To use the organisational studies literature to build a conceptual framework of general practice organisations, and to test and develop this empirically using case studies of change in practice. This study used the implementation of National Service Frameworks (NSFs) and the new General Medical Services (GMS) contract as incidents of change. DESIGN OF STUDY: In-depth, qualitative case studies. The design was iterative: each case study was followed by a review of the theoretical ideas. The final conceptual framework was the result of the dynamic interplay between theory and empirical evidence. SETTING: Five general practices in England, selected using purposeful sampling. METHOD: Semi-structured interviews with all clinical and managerial personnel in each practice, participant and nonparticipant observation, and examination of documents. RESULTS: A conceptual framework was developed that can be used to understand how and why practices respond to change. This framework enabled understanding of observed reactions to the introduction of NSFs and the new GMS contract. Important factors for generating responses to change included the story that the practice members told about their practice, beliefs about what counted as legitimate work, the role played by the manager, and previous experiences of change. CONCLUSION: Viewing general practices as small organisations has generated insights into factors that influence responses to change. Change tends to occur from the bottom up and is determined by beliefs about organisational reality. The conceptual framework suggests some questions that can be asked of practices to explain this internal reality.
