Thanks to @josemolinagb.bsky.social from Seville, Spain, for finding a great Shorter Is Better study from 2021 for bronchiectasis exacerbations! Updated tables attached, with link to website with citations. Had to shrink the font to fit so many RCTs in table! www.bradspellberg.com/shorter-is-b...

Caring for patients with bronchiectasis poses a challenge for both pulmonologists and #AMSky teams. Standard 14d treatments for exacerbations lack good evidence support. This small RCT favors shorter durations such as 8d 👉🏻 publications.ersnet.org/content/erj/... #IDsky @bradspellberg.bsky.social

Pediatric antimicrobial stewardship is catching up fast. Tailored strategies, rising implementation, and tools like "handshake stewardship" are key to optimizing antibiotic use and tackling #AMR in our tiniest patients. #PedsID #Stewardship karger.com/neo/article/... www.idse.net/Review-Artic...

SOT patients have been systematically excluded from most RCTs on treatment duration, leading to prolonged courses still being the standard of care in many centers, even for non-complicated infections. (🧵1/3) #AMSky #IDsky #TxID

Just 23% of patients received AMS support in transplant units. A lot to do for stewies in this field yet! Let’s get to work #AMSky & #TxID! 💪🏼

Not all aspirations need Abx ☺️ aspiration pneumonitis resolves in 24-48h; if symptoms persist >48h, treat aspiration pneumonia with CTX CTX covers key oral anaerobes (eg Peptostreptococcus) so extended anaerobe coverage is usually unnecessary avoid piptaz first-line & reserve for resistant cases

Post-discharge prescriptions should be a key focus for #AMSsky! In her fantastic talk at #ESCMIDglobal, @valerievaughnmd.bsky.social showed how >90% of antibiotic duration excess occurs post-discharge! The ROADhome framework can be helpful for this task 👉🏻 academic.oup.com/cid/article/... #IDSky

Thx to @absteward.bsky.social for finding a new oral vs. IV osteo RCT! Primary endpoint was re surgery. But, 2nd endpoints = treatment failure, recurrence, and non-union. Similar oral vs. IV outcomes for all outcomes. So this is the 10th RCT now, added to table. bradspellberg.com/oral-antibio...

For my inaugural post, Im proud to announce the publication of our Safer@Home care model. This is going to change how medicine is practiced. No need to admit pts "for IV antibiotics" anymore. Or just for IV diuresis in CHF. Or just for EtOH withdrawal. Etc. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

New β-lactams allow treating Pseudomonas that were untreatable, but… are they better than previous options? This meta-analysis of RCTs shows they are not superior to prior alternatives when available: www.ajicjournal.org/article/S019... 👐🏻 Use them wisely, make them last #PsWatch #AMSsky #IDsky

🌟 ABX Pearl of the Day: Duration of treatment in intra-abdominal infections (IAI)! 💊 💡 Q: How long should I treat IAI after source control? 🔍 A: While STOP-IT trial calls for 4 days post-source control, there are notable exceptions. See infographic for details 👇 #IDsky #AMSsky #MedSky #Pharmsky

It's not only how long, but also how much pressure. A key message to promote earlier de-escalations, especially in high-risk units (ICU, #IDOnc and #TxID). #AMSsky #IDSky

Locum tenens are often necessary at many rural and critical access hospitals. However, they pose significant challenges to healthcare quality and safety. Persuasion and nudge-based interventions are less effective as they practice based on what’s familiar to them rather than what’s appropriate.

What's the best duration for treating uncomplicated P. aeruginosa-BSI? This metaanalysis of observational studies (n=1746) found no differences in recurrence+mortality for short (<10d) compared to prolonged treatments. 📖 www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S019... #PsWatch #AMSsky #IDsky

Great to see BALANCE trial published! Large RCT of >3,000 patients, >50% in ICU, 7 days non-inferior to 14 days for (mostly) GNR BSI. Solid-organ/stem-cell transplant & neutropenia were excluded. Note: 24% in 7d group received longer duration #IDSky #TxIDSky www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Further evidence suggests that adequately dosed oral beta-lactams may achieve results comparable to highly bioavailable antibiotics: www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S119.... I think these data are encouraging for expanding our options against uncomplicated BSI! 😀 #AMSsky #IDSky
