🧪 BATCH Trial found that adding PCT blood tests to routine care didn't reduce IV antibiotic use for hospitalised children. Robust Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) including clinician training is key: 🔗 thelancet.com/journals/lanch… UKCRC CTU Network Health and Care Research Wales Enitan Carrol 🇬🇲🇸🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧📉🏥

🌍 Tackling AMR requires smarter use of antibiotics. BATCH Trial shows that while PCT tests are safe, behaviour change & AMS frameworks are vital for meaningful implementation. cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/2889… Enitan Carrol 🇬🇲🇸🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Health and Care Research Wales CU BLS Research UKCRC CTU Network 🔎💡

🤝 Collaboration is key! BATCH Trial involved partners across 15 hospitals, enrolling nearly 2,000 children to tackle antibiotic overuse. 🔗 cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/2889… Enitan Carrol 🇬🇲🇸🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 CU BLS Research Health and Care Research Wales UKCRC CTU Network 🏥🌟

🔬 BATCH Trial tested procalcitonin-guided antibiotic use under real-world conditions across UK hospitals.

The intervention was a PCT driven algorithm

Exactly. That point is made in the discussion. Robust AMS in placemakes it hard for any test to reduce duration further

Mean ab duration for initial sepsis episode in ADAPT-SEPSIS was 8.1 days in control group (SD 6.1) which suggests AMS could have been optimised according to the BALANCE trial results.

Congratulations Dr Franklin. Super proud! I've thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
