Great to have some @UniofNewcastle posters at #SOA23. Excellent presentations by Zeynep Elcioglu and @chiziogbu ! @newcastle_icu @RostronTony
Antibiotic overuse leads to AMR and abx toxicity. Growing evidence that short course ok. BUT may not always be the case and why RCT SO important. Interesting trial in paeds UTI. small increase in treatment failure with short course. Where does this risk/benefit balance sit?
🆕️🔥SCOUT RCT🔥🆕️ Short-course[5d] vs standard-course[5d+5d] therapy for children with urinary tract infection An exception for #shorterisbetter ? @BradSpellberg #IDTwitter jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
Modelling study for why shorter antibiotic durations reduces resistance: journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a… Shortening course most effective in high transmission settings...bring on the SHORTER trial!
