Association between Delayed Broad-Spectrum Gram-negative Antibiotics and Clinical Outcomes: How Much Does Getting It Right with Empiric Antibiotics Matter?
Clin Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Maryland School of Maryland; Baltimore, MD.
Background: Clinicians often start unnecessarily broad-spectrum empiric Gram-negative antibiotics out of the concern that delaying effective therapy could lead to a worse clinical outcome. This study examined the consequences of delayed initiation of broad-spectrum Gram-negative antibiotics.
Methods: In a retrospective cohort of adult inpatients from 928 US hospitals, we compared clinical outcomes after (1) empiric narrow-spectrum antibiotics escalated to broad-spectrum antibiotics (delayed broad-spectrum therapy, DBT) and (2) empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics continued for at least 5 days (early broad-spectrum therapy, EBT) using Win Ratios.
Recovery support services as part of the continuum of care for alcohol or drug use disorders.
Addiction
January 2025
Harvard Medical School and Center for Addiction Medicine, Recovery Research Institute, at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: The definition of 'recovery' has evolved beyond merely control of problem substance use to include other aspects of health and wellbeing (known as 'recovery capital') which are important to prevent relapse to problematic alcohol or other drug (AOD) use. Developing a Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC) requires consideration of interventions or services (Recovery Support Services, RSS) designed to build recovery capital which are often delivered alongside established treatment structures. Lived experience and its application to the process of engaging people, changing behaviour and relapse prevention is an essential part of these services.

Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Joan XXIII University Hospital, Tarragona, Spain.
Introduction: Cardiac troponin levels below the 99th percentile improve the predictive efficacy for cardiovascular events when associated with relevant clinical variables. However, whether ultra-sensitive analytical methods improve this predictive efficacy over less sensitive or contemporary analytical methods remains unknown.
Methods: This retrospective observational study involved consecutive patients who presented to the emergency department for suspected acute coronary syndrome and underwent measurement of ultra-sensitive cardiac troponin I (Singulex) and contemporary cardiac troponin I (Siemens) with levels below the 99th percentile.
Simultaneous vs Staged Procedures for Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: Reduced Infection, Cost, and Readmission Rates Associated With Simultaneous Procedures.
Arthroplast Today
February 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UT Health San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA.
Background: Many patients require total knee arthroplasty (TKA) bilaterally; however, there is limited data on bilateral procedures. This study aims to compare medical and surgical complications and hospital-related outcomes between simultaneous and staged bilateral TKA. We hypothesize that staged procedures will have superior outcomes.

Explor Res Clin Soc Pharm
March 2025
University of Houston College of Pharmacy, Health 2, 4349 Martin Luther King Blvd, Houston, TX 77204, United States.
Background: The hospital at home (HaH) model has become more prevalent in the American healthcare system due to its ability to decrease acute care costs and readmission risk. Recent publications have provided guidance on optimizing medication management and patient safety by leveraging clinical pharmacy services. There is limited data on pharmacoeconomic impact of HaH implementation, specifically in underinsured patients.
