📢 New research from Oxford AMR/HCAI HPRU:

We applied an EHR-wide association study to uncover risk factors for E. coli bloodstream infections over 6 years

🧠 Frailty-related factors (renal/UTI, cancer, GI) drive risk
🛠️ Highlights need for multifaceted prevention strategies

Today is World #Hepatitis Day.

Eliminating hepatitis is POSSIBLE because we have:

✔️ Effective vaccines,
✔️ Curative treatments,
✔️ Proven tools,
to stop transmission.

Take action today! 👉 bit.ly/hepatitis2025
WHO graphic with the title “You can help eliminate hepatitis by:” followed by four suggestions: - Get tested for hepatitis B & C - Vaccinate newborns with the hepatitis B birth dose within 24 hours - Learn the facts & talk to your healthcare provider about early testing & treatment - Help stop stigma by sharing accurate information

Does the incidence of common bloodstream infections vary across deprivation level & ethnic groups in England and can differences be quantified?

Key public health message for the article: What did you want to address in this study and why? Socioeconomic inequalities exist across infections. We wanted to assess if the incidence of common bacteraemia varies across deprivation level and ethnic groups in England and to quantify any differences. The aim was to identify high-risk population groups and areas for public health interventions. Between 2018 and 2022, we investigated bacteraemia caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial species as well as by meticillin-susceptible and resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, MSSA). What have we learnt from this study? In England, bacteraemia from E. coli, Klebsiella spp., P. aeruginosa and particularly MRSA disproportionately affected people from the Black and Asian ethnic groups, after adjusting for age. In contrast, the White ethnic group had higher incidence of community-onset MSSA bacteraemia. People living in the 20% most deprived areas of England also had higher age-standardised incidence of all bacteraemia (176.7 compared to 91.7 per 100,000 population per year in the 20% least deprived areas), and especially MRSA bacteraemia. What are the implications of your findings for public health? Public health agencies and health research organisations should consider stratifying their analyses by ethnicity and deprivation to identify and quantify health inequalities. Further studies including qualitative research is required to identify the root causes of these concerning inequalities in the incidence of bacteraemia caused by different pathogens, so that adapted measures can be designed to mitigate them.

In England, people from ethnic minorities or living in more deprived areas are disproportionately affected by bloodstream infections.

We've shown this with our latest study, just been published on @eurosurveillance.org.
