New paper, led by Yaki Saciuk, out in @naturecomms.bsky.social

It's challenging to estimate the causal effect of antibiotic use on future resistance due to unmeasured confounding.
We leverage a new form of iv - reported allergy to penicillin.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health.

Bur it's GROSSLY under reported

This study showed 4% of ALL deaths at a major London hospital were actually caused AMR but NONE were on the death certificate as cause of death.
#AMR is a risk to antibiotic failure & death, but if this happens, do we record it on death certificates? Our centre data = NO!

👉In 1 year, 4% of deaths were AMR-attributed & NONE were recorded on death certificates!👈

Need to quantify this better to increase awareness! #IDSky @jac-amr.bsky.social

Sitting in the front seat of a double decker bus on my way to see a friend deliver a lunchtime seminar at my MSc university is definitely making me feel 18 again
