BACKGROUND: Shock frequently complicates necrotizing fasciitis (NF) caused by
group A Streptococcus (GAS) or Staphylococcus aureus. Intravenous immunoglobulin
(IVIG) is sometimes administered for presumptive toxic shock syndrome (TSS), but
its frequency of use and efficacy are unclear. METHODS: Adult patients with NF
and vasopressor-dependent shock undergoing surgical debridement from 2010 to 2014
were identified at 130 US hospitals. IVIG cases were propensity-matched and
risk-adjusted. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality and the secondary
outcome was median length of stay (LOS). RESULTS: Of 4127 cases of debrided NF
with shock at 121 centers, only 164 patients (4%) at 61 centers received IVIG.
IVIG subjects were younger with lower comorbidity indices, but higher illness
severity. Clindamycin and vasopressor intensity were higher among IVIG cases, as
was coding for TSS and GAS. In-hospital mortality did not differ between matched
IVIG and non-IVIG groups (crude mortality, 27.3% vs 23.6%; adjusted odds ratio,
1.00 [95% confidence interval, .55-1.83]; P = .99). Early IVIG (?2 days) did not
alter this effect (P = .99). Among patients coded for TSS, GAS, and/or S. aureus,
IVIG use was still unusual (59/868 [6.8%]) and lacked benefit (P = .63). Median
LOS was similar between IVIG and non-IVIG groups (26 [13-49] vs 26 [11-43]; P =
.84). Positive predictive values for identifying true NF and debridement among
IVIG cases using our algorithms were 97% and 89%, respectively, based on records
review at 4 hospitals. CONCLUSIONS: Adjunctive IVIG was administered infrequently
in NF with shock and had no apparent impact on mortality or hospital LOS beyond
that achieved with debridement and antibiotics.
