Objectives: To evaluate current organization of infection prevention for immunocompromised patients (ICP) at a countrywide level.
Methods: Nationwide cross-sectional multicenter study based on an online survey disseminated in 2022 to physicians invested with preventive healthcare missions.
Results: A total of 341 physicians (96% graduates, 32% infectious disease specialists), participated in the survey, with a median age of 40 [35-51] years.
Objectives: Infectious disease (ID) advice is a major part of antimicrobial stewardship programs. The objective of this study was to assess general practitioners' (GPs)' opinions and compliance with advice given by ID hotlines.
Patients And Methods: This multicenter survey was based on the 7-day assessment of initial advice requested by GPs to a hotline set up by volunteer hospital ID teams to record advice for 3 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of telephone hotlines for infectious disease (ID) support as part of antimicrobial stewardship programs aimed at controlling antibiotic resistance.
- Data was collected from 10 ID teams across different French regions, documenting over 4,000 requests for advice from general practitioners (GPs) from April 2019 to June 2022, showing significant regional variations in hotline usage.
- The main reasons for GPs reaching out included diagnostic inquiries and antibiotic choices, indicating that these hotlines can enhance collaboration between primary care and specialized medical settings, although sustainable institutional and financial backing is necessary for their continued operation.
Background: Optimal duration of antimicrobial regimen after reimplantation of two-stage procedures for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is poorly standardized. The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of reimplantation microbiology with 6 weeks (2nd stage positive culture) or 10 days (2nd stage negative culture) of antibiotics in patients with complex chronic PJI and factors associated with microbiology at reimplantation.
Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center study including all consecutive complex PJI recipients managed by two-stage surgery in a referral centre, from 2015 to 2018.
Objective: To characterize healthcare workers' (HCWs) intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccine by the beginning of the vaccine campaign in France.
Methods: Data were collected on a self-administered questionnaire through the website of a tertiary care center (February 9-18, 2021).
Results: Among 1,965 respondents, 1,436 (73.
