I don't know anyone that is more excited about urine than @Sonali_Advani.

Some highlights from her great talk this morning ⬇️

#IDWeek2022
Lots of factors go into inappropriate culturing.

Physicians more driven by labs, nurses by appearance/smell.

Education can help.

#IDWeek2022
Tough group is the 3rd box.

Yep.

#IDWeek2022
How to approach that 3rd box?

Some options - some of which include some compromises.

#IDWeek2022
UA has too much information.

A urinalysis obtained for renal reasons does not need a WBC to give someone the urge to treat ASB.

#IDWeek2022
Some things to do.

Stop reporting bacteria in UAs.

Nudge to remove catheter.

#IDWeek2022
Patient and nurse expectations important.

We're missing other infections by inappropriately focusing on the urine.

Need to reframe risk - anchoring on the urine leads to lots of problems.

#IDWeek2022
UTI deprescribing framework at Duke.

Nice results.

Also helps get patients on appropriate therapy when they do need antibiotics.

#IDWeek2022
Conclusions from @Sonali_Advani

Great talk.

What drives physicians refusing ASP recommendations?

We looked into it.

Just got done presenting our #IDWeek2022 oral abstract.

First, there are a bunch of ways to do TeleASP, but especially the more "intense" models have shown success and can be as good as on-site programs.

Our prior work: academic.oup.com/cid/article/71…

What do we know already about what influences rec acceptance?

Summary of prior work, including great work from @BRxAD - surgeons tend to be less accepting, and recs that reduce antibiotic exposure refused more.

Oral Therapy for Bacteremia and Endocarditis

@IDwithNWD giving talk for @BradSpellberg

"No, you're not in the wrong room, and @BradSpellberg did not get younger and more handsome."

Historical lesson first.

Where did the myth that we need IV for IE come from?

Have to go back a ways.

What's better for reducing unnecessary treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria? Diagnostic stewardship or antibiotic stewardship?

@ValerieVaughnMD presenting the @SHEA_Epi featured oral abstract.

Pathway to overuse and opportunities to intervene.

#IDWeek2022 Image
Diagnostic stewardship metric was ASB (treated or not) / +UCx

Bactrim is fine for most beta-hemolytic strep, folks.

Many of us were taught this one incorrectly because thymidine content in agar unregulated until 2006 so looked resistant in old studies.

Appreciate @SDoernberg clearing this one up in 2nd myth busters talk.

Nice aside - dosing matters.

Most people I'm consulted on who fail oral treatment for true cellulitis are underdosed.

Nice follow up talk from @ValerieVaughnMD - always great stuff from her.

#IDWeek2022 Image
Anyone ever seen a patient like this?

(For hospitalists like @ValerieVaughnMD and those of us that review patients with ASP, every day, multiple times per day)

A note that what we call overdiagnosis for infections, others may call inappropriate diagnosis.
