Antimicrob Steward Healthc Epidemiol
June 2022
Cascade reporting is an antimicrobial stewardship strategy that has been successfully implemented in inpatient settings, but evidence of its impact on outpatient settings is scarce. We report on the impact on fluroquinolone prescribing at a network of urgent care clinics following the implementation of cascade reporting of Enterobacterales in urine cultures.

We aimed to evaluate the impact of Accelerate PhenoTM (AxDx) system on change in therapy and length of stay among patients with GN bacteremia.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients hospitalized who had at least 1 blood culture with presence of Enterobacterales.
Background: VYC-25L, a hyaluronic acid soft-tissue filler with lidocaine, is designed to restore and create facial volume in the chin and jaw.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of VYC-25L in subjects with chin retrusion.
Methods: Adults with chin retrusion (145°-165° glabella-subnasale-pogonion facial angle) were randomized (3:1) to receive VYC-25L in the chin/jaw at study onset (treatment group) or 3 months later (control group).
Background: Patient-reported outcomes are important measures of treatment benefit in facial aesthetic medicine.
Objective: Evaluate prespecified subject-reported satisfaction and impact outcomes with onabotulinumtoxinA treatment of forehead lines (FHL) and glabellar lines (GL).
Methods: The study randomized (3:1) 391 adults with moderate to severe FHL and GL to onabotulinumtoxinA (FHL, 20 U; GL, 20 U) or placebo in double-blind period 1 (days 0-180); subjects could receive up to 2 additional onabotulinumtoxinA treatments in open-label period 2.
Background: Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly recognized as important measures of treatment benefit.
Objective: To evaluate subject-reported satisfaction and impact outcomes with onabotulinumtoxinA treatment in neurotoxin-naive adults with forehead lines (FHL), glabellar lines (GL), and crow's feet lines (CFL).
Methods: This Phase 3 study randomized 787 subjects to onabotulinumtoxinA 64 U (FHL 20 U, GL 20 U, and CFL 24 U), 40 U (FHL 20 U, GL 20 U, and CFL placebo), or placebo in double-blind Period 1.
