Impact of clinician feedback reports on antibiotic use in children hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia ✅ Just Accepted #IDSky

Impact of clinician feedback reports on antibiotic use in children hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia
Feedback reports summarizing clinician performance are effective tools for improving antibiotic use in the ambulatory setting, but the effectiveness of feedback reports in the hospital setting is unknown.

#ASHKudos to Rachel Rau, Sumit Gupta, the whole AALL1731 study committee, all of our COG sites, and most importantly, our patients and families who made these results possible. So exciting to officially see these results on the big stage at #ASH24 (and presented by a great mentor too!)

I never tire of seeing these progressively improved pediatric ALL survival curves, which represent one of the most remarkable achievements in all of medicine. Amazing to see even more improvement with bispecific antibody #immunotherapy presented in the #ASH24 Plenary session. #hematology #leukemia

Bactericidal antibiotics release DNA that activates TLR9, while static antibiotics do not, and this excessive inflammation can blunt efficacy. Fascinating study! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The immunologic differences induced by bactericidal versus bacteriostatic antibiotics remain unclear. Gross et al. show that, in contrast to static antibiotics, cidal antibiotics may drive harmfu...

#IDSky, is there a good study that shows development of a MDR organism for a patient results in worse outcome? Obviously would need to control for a lot of confounders but wondering if someone has attempted and somewhat succeeded.
