Published in JAMA with #CCRdownunder:
In critically ill adults with suspected sepsis, antibiotic regimens were safely reduced when guided by measurement of procalcitonin but not by C-reactive protein.

7d is not a country mile away from standard care in the UK. Recognising microbiological cure is hard. Antibiotics are not without harm. Try @SHORTERtrial @hellyerthomas

This is what I gleaned the working group recognised and will seek to address (1) the infeasibility of training in academia and two medical specialities (2) academia now linked to pay penalties through slower progression and diminished merit awards….

New data released today in @TheLancet shows that without urgent action, antimicrobial resistance could kill 39 million people by 2050.
Deaths and inequities from the global antibiotic emergency are increasing and now is the time to take urgent action.

There is a crisis in clinical academia in the UK. We talk of the need to expand medical schools, embed research into the NHS to improve care, & the importance of a vibrant life sciences sector for the economy of the UK, & yet we seem unable to tackle the underlying issues 1/9

❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌
The next government has the power to make that happen.
They can end the need for food banks.

Delighted to review #BLINGIII examining continuous v intermittent infusion in critically ill patients with sepsis, at #CCR24. While this one sentence JAMA summary is technically correct, the full data and discussion at #CCR24 provides a different perspective. Here is why..1/
BLING III: In critically ill patients with sepsis, continuous vs intermittent β-lactam antibiotic infusions did not significantly reduce 90-day mortality.

“How much have you earned from royalties from pharma companies since pandemic began?”
Fauci: “Zero”
@NMalliotakis: “you saying you didn’t receive any of $710 mil in royalties”?
Fauci: Only $122 for a monoclonal antibody that I made 25 years ago.

There has been concern that targeting immune pathways in sepsis may be harmful.
