#COVID patients who don't receive remdesivir not more likely to die, data suggest

Models found no difference in all-cause death rates, 30-day hospital readmissions, or length of stay before and after restrictions were put into place.

In CID: Our real world study is the 1st (to our knowledge) to detail widespread restriction of remdesivir with patients that represent present-day epidemiology in the era of near universal SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity.

#IDSky: the iDIAPASON trial was stopped early due to low enrollment, results still published, sheds doubt on whether the 3 RCTs demonstrating non-inferiority of 8 days to 15 days for VAP is applicable to PA-VAP -- pulmonologists are quoting this study still!

How long do you typically treat PA-VAP?

45 year old generally healthy female on infliximab for Crohn's disease develops non-typhoidal Salmonella bacteremia and UC+ for same organism. She rapidly improves on IV ceftriaxone.

Q: What duration are you treating for?

A:
-- 7 days?
-- 10 days?
-- 14 days?
-- 4-6 weeks?

And... why, #IDSky?!

My first #IDSky post will be a shameless promotion of our new UTI WikiGuideline!

Of 37 questions, only 6 had enough data to fully meet criteria for a clear recommendation!
Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Urinary Tract Infections
This consensus statement creates a clinical guideline for the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections that addresses the gap between the evidence and recommendation strength.
