New in JAMA Network Open: Dr. Anna Conlon and colleagues examined antibiotic timing in community-onset sepsis among nearly 30,000 patients at 67 Michigan hospitals. Timely antibiotics was associated with lower 30-day mortality.

Timely #sepsis care matters. In >35,000 patients, faster antibiotic administration was associated with a 3% higher likelihood of discharge home, and fluids (when indicated) also helped. Early treatment may improve recovery beyond survival. #HMS www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share our work on #sepsis at #ATS2026 🩺 Nearly 1 in 10 of >52,000 community-onset sepsis patients were SIRS-negative — less likely to receive early care, yet with higher risk-adjusted mortality. These findings highlight limitations of SIRS-based screening. #CriticalCare

Our new paper in @annalsofim.bsky.social finds that, for selected, clinically stable patients hospitalized with community-acquired #pneumonia, 3–4 days of antibiotics may be as safe and effective as longer courses. 🩺📉 🔗 www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...
Among 55 517 hospitalized patients with CAP, 5620 (10.1%) ultimately met eligibility criteria for short-course therapy after comorbidity, clinical stability, and treatment duration criteria were applied. Median age of eligible patients was 68.2 years, and 54.3% were men. Median antibiotic duration was 7 days, with only 7.9% (444 of 5620) receiving 3 to 4 days. Thirty-day adjusted risk ratios for short- versus long-course antibiotic therapy were 0.89 for mortality (95% CI, 0.01 to 2.25), 1.07 for readmission (CI, 0.81 to 1.42), 0.94 for urgent visit (CI, 0.70 to 1.28), and 1.01 for C difficile infection (CI, 0.18 to 5.68).

Only 10.1% of inpatients with CAP met the strict eligibility criteria for short-course therapy. The short- and longer-course antibiotic treatment groups had similar mortality rates, and there was little difference in benefits and harms.

A fitting end to #SHMConverge26: discharge planning! 🏡 What happens as patients leave matters as much as what happens in the hospital — especially for #sepsis recovery. For #HMS, it’s a major focus — improving transitions and reducing risk. It’s been real, Nashville! 🎸
