Todd McCarty @tmccarty2010.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Clinical judgement leads to abx for delirium too. Abx for viral syndromes. Half of sepsis admissions not having a bacterial infection. We're human, we have biases. 030
Todd McCarty @tmccarty2010.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I think it's more complex than that, and also, who's judgement of clinical status? Would be interesting to know how many of these patients had ID consults and if any differences we're noted. We're not special/perfect and can overuse too. 160
Todd McCarty @tmccarty2010.bsky.social · 10/12/2024As per usual, the most interesting figure is in the supplement. Strong stop suggestion stared at a median of 3.5 days, yet the median initial abx duration was 7 days. Tests can't help if you're not willing to believe them. 2193
