The guideline underwent peer review by 16 experts (4 from ATS; 11 from Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). It Is not clear to me why IDSA did not approve it. I copy from the supplement: "The IDSA chose to withdraw rather than approve the final version of the guideline"

First time I’m hearing surgeons refuse performing surgeries on people on GLP1.

The clinical value of in vitro data favoring adjunctive therapy for IE or bacteremia is dubious. Adjunctive AGs, once used in S. aureus native valve IE based on observational data, showed no mortality benefit in RCTs—meta-analyses even found increased mortality with adj AGs. #idsky

The authors travel back in time and provide a nuanced critique of the limited seminal evidence underpinning adjunctive therapy for EFIE. #IDSky

Infections are as deadly and debilitating as cancer. Society minimize infections under this false assumption and gets shocked at their prognosis when they get infected. #IDSky
What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
ERs arent busy bc of people with low acuity problems that "dont need to be there"
ERs are crowded bc of sick patients waiting for beds upstairs in a (~full) hospital
figuring out who does vs doesnt "need to be there" doesnt work anyway

You absolutely can lie via data & math & everything about how you present data is an argument for how to interpret/understand it
Everything we know is founded on best guesses & analogies
All technoscience is enmeshed with human values

Relying solely on studies from other countries risks producing findings that may not be generalizable to American patients. Even studies conducted in other high-income countries might not fully apply to the U.S. context. U.S. centers should continue joining international multi center studies. #IDSky

We've been sleeping. We've had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other and they left us alone. We kept the trade lane open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engine churning, and the moment they pulled away. we forgot them.

We don’t need to de-escalate antibiotic therapy.
We need to optimize antibiotic therapy.

From our spring issue: De-escalating empiric antimicrobial therapy is a strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial stewardship programs can play a major role in preserving antibiotic effectiveness and preventing unnecessary antibiotic use.

Amazing. US centers will wait for this practice-changing research. Who’s willing to bet that there will be no significant difference? #IDSky

We want to do SNAP but for enterococcus.
Will include amp vs amp+ceftriaxone vs amp+gent comparison for enterococcal endocarditis.

#IDSKy ! Why do some clinicians insist on using ceftriaxone or gentamicin for treating Enterococcus endocarditis and genuinely believe there’s clinical evidence supporting their use?

Can #TXIDSky explain if viral, bacterial, fungal prophylaxis really work? I’ve seen providers give all three for almost all blood cancer chemo.
🆕 Rates of AMR up to 3 times greater in outpatients with cancer compared to those without cancer, suggests USA data.
