Another example of "you get what you pay for": hospitals with designated funding/resources to support their antibiotic stewardship program had a 3.7X higher odds of participating in AMU reporting and benchmarking doi.org/10.1017/ash.20…

1/ A study by Dr. Peter Hotez and colleagues estimates that over 200,000 Americans died needlessly during the COVID-19 pandemic—due to vaccine refusal fueled by disinformation. This thread breaks it down.

🐶🐱 Companion animals need #AntimicrobialStewardship too! In this SR/MA led by Fiona Emdin we examined short vs. long antibiotic durations for UTIs in dogs & cats.📉 Pooled RR for cure = 0.55 (95% CI: 0.23–1.27), very low certainty, high risk of bias. 🔓 doi.org/10.1186/s12917…

🆕 Evaluating BSI in Ontario we found #AMR was associated with a 10% ⬆️ risk of death equivalent to 1.2 deaths/100,000 people/year These estimates are lower than those in previous literature, which may be due to robust adjustment for confounding doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…
