Portable HEPA filters made no difference to rates of respiratory and other infections in older people’s care homes, finds new @nihr.bsky.social funded research published in @jamainternalmed.com. Care homes should continue with standard infection control, including vaccines. 👉 tinyurl.com/bdhe42bn

For antibiotic overuse, I've heard for YEARS about how we just need better tests. But it's not that simple. Julie Szymczak and I have a new editorial in @jamainternalmed.com on modern microbiological testing failing to reduce antibiotic prescribing. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Use of a rapid microbiological point-of-care test for respiratory infections did not lead to an expected overall reduction in same-day antibiotic prescribing in #PrimaryCare. Results of the RAPID-TEST clinical trial published in @jamainternalmed.com. 👉 Read the news: tinyurl.com/y3x3hv29

Congrats to the RAPID IMMUNE-TEST study team who have recruited 249 patients, passing their 231 target! 🎉 The study is testing whether a quick blood test can show if a cold or throat infection is caused by a virus or bacteria. This could help GPs decide if antibiotics are needed. bit.ly/4jsaHHv
