ABSTRACT

Introduction : Les cancers de l'orbite sont rares. Ils sont caracterises par leur diversite histologique et leur agressivite locoregionale rendant le traitement difficile et mutilant. Dans ce travail; nous rapportons notre experience dans la prise en charge diagnostique et therapeutique de ces tumeurs. Materiels et methodes : Notre etude retrospective a concerne 31 cas de cancers de l'orbite colliges sur 13 ans (1993- 2005). Tous les patients ont beneficie d'un examen clinique complet; d'une imagerie du massif facial (TDM et/ou IRM) et d'une biopsie de la tumeur. Le traitement a ete base sur la chirurgie; la radiotherapie et/ou la chimiotherapie. Resultats : La symptomatologie clinique etait dominee par les signes ophtalmologiques et les algies faciales. L'imagerie a montre dans tous les cas un processus expansif tissulaire a point de depart orbitaire; avec lyse osseuse orbitaire chez 16 patients (51;6); une extension au massif facial chez 7 patients (22;6); endocraniennes chez 6 patients (19;4) et des formes bilaterales atteignant les deux orbites dans 3 cas (9;7) L'anatomopathologie montrait une predominance des lymphomes malins non hodgkiniens (32;3) et des carcinomes epidermoides (32;3); suivis des rhabdomyosarcomes embryonnaires (19;4). Douze patients ont ete traites par chirurgie et radiotherapie postoperatoire; dix patients par une association radio-chimiotherapie; et neuf autres par une chimiotherapie neo-adjuvante. La survie globale etait de 67;8 a 3 ans; 48;4 a 5 ans et 22;6a 10 ans

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of local antibiotic policy in a Tunisian ICU. The predefined primary efficacy objectives were the decrease of antibiotic consumption, reduction of inappropriate antibiotic (ATB) use and antimicrobial resistance. DESIGN: This prospective intervention study lasted from January 2002 to December 2004. In the first study period or the baseline phase (from January to December 2002) we focused on physician education for ATB prescription practice. The second period concerned intervention (control of all ATB use). RESULTS: The number of infection episodes significantly decreased from 2002 to 2004; 198 infection episodes in 2002 (1.63+/-1.15 episodes/patient) versus 124 in 2003 (1.22+/-0.93) (P<0.0008) versus 121 in 2004 (1.23+/-0.8) (P1<0.0008). The number of ATB/prescription also significantly decreased from 1.85+/-1.3 in 2002 to 1.5+/-0.9 in 2003 (P=0.02) and 1.5+/-1.4 in 2004 (P1=0.05). Appropriateness of antibiotherapy improved during the intervention period: 65% in 2002 versus 86% in 2003 (P=0.0003) and 81% in 2004 (P1=0.02). The length of antibiotherapy in survivors was considerably reduced: 14.1+/-2.9 days in 2002 versus 11.9+/-1.2 days in 2003 (P<10(-5)) and 10.9+/-2.5 days in 2004 (P1<10(-5)) with a significant reduction of antibiotherapy cost and length of stay (20.4+/-9 days in 2002 versus 18.3+/-6 days in 2003 and 16.9+/-8 days in 2004; P=0.05; P1=0.02). There was a significant decrease of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae esbeta, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.
