What drives physicians refusing ASP recommendations?

We looked into it.

Just got done presenting our #IDWeek2022 oral abstract.
#IDTwitter

šŸ§µ

1/ Image
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/71ā€¦

SCORE trial from @E_Stenehjem et al.: academic.oup.com/cid/article/67ā€¦

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.

3/ Image
This study adds data for TeleASP and for adult inpatients in the US.

#IDWeek2022

4/ Image
Structure of the program (ID doc review with non-clinical pharmacist -> recs to primary team).

30 months of data and variables we tracked, including physician characteristics, for which there's less data.

#IDWeek2022

5/ ImageImage
We gave a lot of recommendations, and acceptance rate overall was great.

#IDWeek2022

6/ Image
But what variables mattered?

Whether there was an APP involved and whether we spent one on one time with the physician explaining the program didn't.

#IDWeek2022

7/ Image
On univariable analysis, those surgeons didn't look great. Neither did pulmonologists or private practice PCPs.

But in multivariable, no longer significant.

#IDWeek2022

8/ ImageImage
So what was significant?

āœ… Female > male
āœ… Type of rec mattered - stop/discontinue = lower odds of acceptance

And the big one:
21+ years experience = lowest odds of acceptance

(I'll come back to CCM in a minute)

#IDWeek2022

9/ Image
Some thoughts on why the meeting wasn't important - we empowered local pharmacists and they became a trusted local resource.

Actually this is great - if the ID docs don't need to be on site, a given TeleASP can have more impact without geographic limits.

#IDWeek2022

10/ Image
We did find that recs to limit antibiotic use led to lower acceptance. Makes sense.

But specialty wasn't significant in multivariable.

Why?

#IDWeek2022

11/ Image
Because years of experience seemed to be more important.

Maybe the surgeons/private practice PCPs/pulmonologists trended toward older and male.

#IDWeek2022

12/ Image
Of course have some limitations, one of which is low n of CCM docs, one of whom was super engaged - so wouldn't generalize our CCM findings.

#IDWeek2022

13/ Image
Final thoughts - this might help us think about who could use some extra ASP education or targeted intervention.

#IDWeek2022

And thanks to my co-authors, our @AHNtoday ASP team, and the HVHS pharmacists.

Getting my own talk from yesterday up late.

Also presented at the Big Beasts session on Community-Acquired Pneumonia.

Focused at stewardship folks but something in here for everyone šŸ‘‡

#SHEASpring2024

First up, quick definition:
āž”ļø Since HCAP is now dead, CAP is basically all pneumonia acquired outside of a hospital.

Lots of stuff can cause CAP, but viruses cause a LOT. Any virus that can cause an upper respiratory infection can also cause pneumonia.

Check out this CDC study: when a pathogen was found, #1 cause?

Rhinovirus.

Flu was #2.

Strep pneumo is #3, then 4 more viruses before you hit another bacteria.

(This study is well pre-COVID, but rest assured it would be well represented now).

Next up is Dr. Will Allegria to talk about stewardship in Immunocompromised patients.

This is a complicated patient population.

Many challenges in this patient population, with limited guidelines and data.

Note the specialists (hematology, oncology, transplant) unique to this setting that should be part of the stewardship team. Definitely include transplant ID docs when you have them

Limited data, but does exist.

Covering ASB in renal transplant patients.

Don't treat it! 4 RCTs done, two showed harm.

2021 trial highlighted below, more resistance.

Next up is the Dogmas of stewardship!

Bookmark this thread folks, some great stuff below.

First up is Dr. Jim Lewis.

First up is busting the "cidal vs static" myth. Jim says he is "quoting Noah to Noah" with @IDwithNWD standing by for the next talk, and an author on this excellent paper with @BradSpellberg.

56 Trials!

#SHEASpring2024

What about MRSA pneumonia?

Linezolid and Vancomycin on equal footing.

The "cidal" definition is completely arbitrary, lab based, and irrelevant clinically.

To get my thumbs warmed up for #SHEASpring2024, figured I'd share this talk I forgot to share last month.

Was asked to talk about antibiotic prophylaxis in primary care.

Here's what I came up with:

šŸ§µ

#IDTwitter
#MedTwitter

1/ Image
First, one that comes up a lot - should we give antibiotic ppx to prevent recurrent UTIs?

Will first cover older adults - important here: is it truly recurrent UTI?

A lot gets called "UTI" that isn't.

2/
Image
Image
Here's the evidence.

I like the study here from @BRxAD.

Older patients on antibiotic prophylaxis have more side effects, more C diff, more resistance, and go to the hospital MORE than patients on no ppx.

Just got done presenting at the 31st Annual Clinical Update in Geriatric Medicine, put on by @AHNtoday and @UPMC. Awesome attendees, as usual!

Was asked to talk about "Controversies in Antimicrobial Therapy"

Figured would share here.

With a Geriatric audience, had to take the opportunity to focus first on the urine.

But also get into SSTI, Bactrim for Group A strep, if you need IV antibiotics for Lyme, dental prophylaxis for prosthetic joints, and duration of therapy.

First up - does +UA/UCx=UTI?

2/
Emphatic NO on that one.

Need SYMPTOMS to diagnose a UTI.

I tell patients they need to tell us, we can't tell them.

Positive UCx without symptoms = asymptomatic bacteriuria.

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.
