Neuraminidase Inhibitors and Hospital Length of Stay: A Meta-analysis of Individual Participant Data to Determine Treatment Effectiveness Among Patients Hospitalized With Nonfatal 2009 Pandemic Influenza A(H1N1) Virus Infection

Abstract: Background The effect of neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) treatment on length of stay (LoS) in patients hospitalized with influenza is unclear. Methods We conducted a one-stage individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis exploring the association between NAI treatment and LoS in patients hospitalized with 2009 influenza A(H1N1) virus (A[H1N1]pdm09) infection. Using mixed-effects negative binomial regression and adjusting for… Show more

“…Currently, neuraminidase inhibitors (e. g., oseltamivir, zanamivir, peramivir) are well established in clinical practice for use in patients with influenza infection, but no randomized-controlled trial (RCT) of has been completed to confirm the efficacy of these antivirals in hospitalized patients. The data of several prospective observational studies and meta-analysis indicate that neuraminidase inhibitor therapy at the time of hospitalization reduces both the length of hospitalization and the related mortality [30,31]. The main problem with neuraminidase inhibitors like oseltamivir, however, is the need for early treatment.…”

“…It is also important to note that managed care plans are capitated and may include Medicare/Medicaid dual beneficiaries. As NAIs have been shown to reduce LOS and several specific inpatient cost drivers [ 40 , 41 ], their use could have an important impact on economic outcomes.…”

“…Greater reductions in length of stay were seen for pregnant women and obese patients (by 39 percent and 27 percent, respectively). 125 Antivirals should be particularly considered for unimmunised or recently immunised contacts who are at high risk of severe disease. When used to limit the size of an institutional outbreak, antiviral drugs are usually given for a period of two weeks after immunisation or until one week after the end of the outbreak.…”
