This was because the choice of antibiotics in this population is quite limited, and the costs are generally similar and relatively inexpensive. Furthermore, local patterns of antibiotic resistance and allergies can also constrain the decision set.</p></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.1.9"><h4>The committee’s discussion and interpretation of the evidence</h4><div id="niceng240er12.s1.1.9.1"><h5>The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>Bacterial meningitis is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity, and antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment for bacterial meningitis. Therefore, all-cause mortality and long-term neurological impairment were prioritised as critical outcomes because of the severity of these outcomes. Severe developmental delay was prioritised as a critical outcome while functional impairment was chosen as an important outcome because severe developmental delay is a more relevant and important outcome in babies and children.</p><p>In addition to functional impairment, epilepsy or seizures, hearing impairment and serious intervention-related adverse effects were chosen as important outcomes because these outcomes are relatively common after bacterial meningitis and may be related to antibiotic therapy.</p></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.1.9.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>No studies were identified which were applicable to this review question.</p></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.1.9.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><p>No evidence was identified for the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment regimens in young babies (aged 29 days to 3 months) with suspected bacterial meningitis. Therefore, the committee made recommendations based on their clinical knowledge and experience.</p><p>The committee discussed common infective organisms (for example, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis) in this age group and agreed to recommend intravenous ceftriaxone for suspected bacterial meningitis in young babies in line with the British National Formulary for Children (BNFC) (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng240er12.s1.ref4" rid="niceng240er12.s1.ref4">Paediatric Formulary Committee 2022</a>). The committee were aware that insufficient dose can increase the risk of treatment failure and antibiotic resistance; therefore, they agreed to use the maximum dose recommended by the BNFC or follow local antimicrobial guidance. The committee highlighted the practical and resource-use advantages associated with ceftriaxone because it has a broad spectrum of activity, and the long half-life means that it can be given only once a day. The committee acknowledged some concerns with once daily administration in that a second dose might need to be delayed if the first dose of ceftriaxone was administered outside of routine working hours; however, they were aware that a second dose can be given earlier, to shift the administration time, if there is a minimum of 12 hours between doses (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng240er12.s1.ref1" rid="niceng240er12.s1.ref1">Gbesemete 2019</a>).</p><p>The committee discussed some reasons why in clinical practice (particularly in intensive care units) cefotaxime might be given instead of ceftriaxone. For instance, to minimise the time that intravenous lines are being used for administering antibiotics, which might be needed for other medications, due to ceftriaxone typically being infused over 30 minutes intravenous and cefotaxime being given as a bolus. However, the committee agreed that this practice is not necessary, as ceftriaxone can be given as bolus. Sometimes there may be a reaction (for example, vomit reflex) if ceftriaxone is administered too quickly, but in the committee’s experience this is relatively rare, which was supported by a recent study (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng240er12.s1.ref5" rid="niceng240er12.s1.ref5">Patel 2021</a>). The committee agreed that ceftriaxone should be given as first-line treatment for suspected bacterial meningitis when the causative organism has not been identified, unless contraindicated (as outlined in the BNFC) in which case cefotaxime can be considered.</p><p>The committee highlighted the importance of considering the possibility of a cephalosporin-resistant pneumococcus causing bacterial meningitis. The committee were aware that the previous NICE guideline on meningitis (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng240er12.s1.ref3" rid="niceng240er12.s1.ref3">NICE 2010</a>) recommended to treat people who have travelled outside the UK or had prolonged or multiple exposure to antibiotics within the last 3 months with vancomycin (in addition to the cephalosporin). However, they discussed that practice has changed since the previous NICE guideline and agreed that changes to this recommendation were required. Firstly, the committee were aware that current practice is to use rifampicin or linezolid in addition to a cephalosporin where the cephalosporin itself might be insufficient due to resistance. However, the committee highlighted that there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness and safety of rifampicin or linezolid in suspected (or confirmed) cephalosporin resistant bacterial meningitis to support recommending them. Therefore, the committee recommended that, clinicians should seek advice from an infection specialist (a microbiologist or infectious diseases specialist) for all cases of bacterial meningitis, but this was particularly important if cephalosporin resistance is suspected in young babies who have recently travelled abroad. Secondly, the committee noted that the evidence used to inform the recommendation about prolonged or multiple exposure to antibiotics in the previous guideline came from Canada (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng240er12.s1.ref6" rid="niceng240er12.s1.ref6">Vanderkooi 2005</a>), which has a higher prevalence of cephalosporin resistance than the UK. The committee discussed that there was insufficient evidence that prolonged or multiple exposure to antibiotics on an individual level causes people to be colonised with resistant organisms. Rather, the committee agreed that it is antibiotic use at a population level that contributes to cephalosporin resistant bacteria. Therefore, the committee agreed that the evidence did not warrant recommending different treatment for these people. Moreover, the committee noted that, in their experience, such people are not currently treated differently. The committee were aware that Enterobacterales (coliforms) are relatively common in young babies and tend to be resistant to cephalosporins. Therefore, the committee agreed that alternative antibiotics may be needed for young babies colonised with cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (coliforms) who develop bacterial meningitis. In the absence of evidence on the effectiveness of antibiotic regimens in this group, the committee recommended that infection specialist advice is sought where cephalosporin resistance is suspected.</p><p>There was no evidence found on antibiotic use for suspected bacterial meningitis in young babies with an antibiotic allergy, but the committee agreed it was important to make a recommendation for this population. Based on their knowledge and experience, the committee agreed that cephalosporin-induced anaphylaxis is rare, and the risk-benefit balance of cephalosporin relative to chloramphenicol is favourable in the majority of people with non-severe allergy. Therefore, the committee agreed that clinicians should seek information about the nature of the allergy and advice from an infection specialist before making a treatment decision. The committee acknowledged that it is important that treatment is not delayed; however, they agreed that information about the nature of allergy is often readily available from the patient’s parents or guardians. The committee agreed that ceftriaxone should still be considered if the nature of the allergic reaction they get is not severe, in accordance with the first line treatment recommended above. However, if the allergic reaction is severe, alternatives to ceftriaxone will be needed. The committee discussed that chloramphenicol is commonly used in the case of severe beta-lactam allergy, but they were aware that its spectrum of activity does not cover Enterobacterales (coliforms). However, the committee acknowledged that meningitis caused by Enterobacterales (coliforms) is rare and typically happens only in the first weeks of life where you would not see an anaphylactic reaction, so in practice this situation would rarely occur. For young babies with severe allergic reactions, the committee recommended chloramphenicol.</p><p>The committee noted that listeria is not susceptible to ceftriaxone or cefotaxime based on their clinical knowledge and experience, and whilst listeria is most common in older adults, risk factors for listeria should also be considered in young babies. The committee were aware that amoxicillin is recommended by the BNFC (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng240er12.s1.ref4" rid="niceng240er12.s1.ref4">Paediatric Formulary Committee 2022</a>) for meningitis caused by listeria monocytogenes (in combination with another antibiotic). Therefore, the committee recommended that intravenous amoxicillin should be part of the first line treatment described above for young babies with risk factors for listeria.</p><p>The committee agreed it was important to make a recommendation about appropriate antibiotic treatment for young babies with risk factors for Listeria monocytogenes and a history of antibiotic allergy. The committee were aware that current practice would be to consider the use of co-trimoxazole for both severe and non-severe allergic reactions, rather than amoxicillin, in addition to the first line treatment recommended above for people with a history of antibiotic allergy and, in line with current practice, recommended co-trimoxazole (in addition to cephalosporin for non-severe allergy or in addition to chloramphenicol for severe allergy) for young babies with an antibiotic allergy who have risk factors for Listeria monocytogenes.</p><p>The committee were aware that the previous NICE guideline on bacterial meningitis made recommendations about the use of antibiotics for herpes simplex encephalitis. The committee acknowledged that this condition was not included in the scope for the current guideline. The committee were aware that prescribing aciclovir has become routine practice in cases of suspected bacterial meningitis (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng240er12.s1.ref2" rid="niceng240er12.s1.ref2">Hagen 2020</a>) and were concerned about the overuse of aciclovir. Therefore, the committee made a recommendation to clarify that aciclovir should only be given when herpes simplex encephalitis is strongly suspected.</p><p>The committee agreed that there should be a recommendation about duration of antibiotic treatment. The committee were aware that the results of confirmatory tests could be available within 48 to 72 hours and recommended that empirical antibiotic treatment should be continued until results suggest an alternative treatment is needed, or there is an alternative diagnosis, which is in line with current practice. The committee agreed that it was necessary to specify a duration of antibiotic treatment for cases where the CSF parameters are consistent with bacterial meningitis, but the blood culture and whole-blood diagnostic PCR are negative. The committee acknowledged that different durations of antibiotic therapy are needed for different causative organisms. Given that Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are common causes of bacterial meningitis in this age group, the committee agreed that the duration of antibiotic treatment should be consistent with the treatment recommended for these causative organisms and as 10 days is the longer duration of treatment prior to review (recommended for Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis) this was considered the most appropriate default duration to recommend in culture negative cases. The committee also agreed that advice from an infection specialist should be sought if young babies have not recovered after 10 days.</p></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.1.9.4"><h5>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>This review question was not prioritised for economic analysis and therefore the committee made a qualitative assessment of the likely cost-effectiveness of their recommendations. No evidence was identified for the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment regimens in young babies. The committee reasoned that it would be cost-effective to recommend ceftriaxone for young babies, as it is potentially less resource intensive as it can be given once a day compared to cefotaxime which is given 3 times daily. As these recommendations were in line with current NHS practice and updates made to the BNFC since the previous guideline, no significant resource impact is anticipated.</p><p>The committee also made recommendations outlining when infection specialist advice should be sought reflecting their view that the cost-effective choice of antibiotic would depend on the specific individualised characteristics of the presenting young baby, such as in cases of suspected or confirmed cephalosporin resistant bacterial meningitis.</p></div></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.1.10"><h4>Recommendations supported by this evidence review</h4><p>This evidence review supports recommendations 1.6.4 to 1.6.9 and 1.6.16. Other evidence supporting these recommendations can be found in evidence reviews on antibiotic regimens for bacterial meningitis before or in the absence of identifying causative infecting organism in older infants and children, and adults (see evidence reviews D2 and D3) and for specific causative organisms (see evidence reviews E1 to E6).</p></div></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.rl.r1"><h3>References – included studies</h3><ul class="simple-list"><div id="niceng240er12.s1.rl.r1.1"><h4>Effectiveness</h4><ul class="simple-list"><p>No studies were identified which were applicable to this review question.</p></ul></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.rl.r1.2"><h4>Economic</h4><ul class="simple-list"><p>No studies were identified which were applicable to this review question.</p></ul></div><div id="niceng240er12.s1.rl.r1.3"><h4>Other</h4><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng240er12.s1.ref1"><p id="p-62">
