Happy to say that this now out in @PLOSMedicine! Thanks to @N_R_Waterlow @bugwonk @JVRobotham & reviewers. We're now working on modelling 🧑💻 to understand the variation & hunting 🏹 for any data on #AMR disaggregated by age & sex - do you have any? https://t.co/EL5kcCDP7I
journals.plos.org
Naomi R Waterlow and colleagues leverage data from 29 countries across Europe to determine how antimicrobial resistance varies by age and sex.
Do you think age and sex matter for antimicrobial resistance (AMR)? They do! 🦠🧒🧓 However, it’s not usually considered. Most analyses only look at country-level trends but we explored the patterns by age revealing some interesting patterns… https://t.co/lg7juWTiZm (1/6)

An new study on treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Does VAP really exist? read my post. @bugwonk @InfectiousMoYin @ABsteward
https://t.co/5oGYolgWbP
letstalkscience.eu
That’s a question I’ve asked myself many times. If it doesn’t, antibiotics would not be needed, attributable mortality would be absent, and VAP prevention would not increase survival. A new – and...

Special thanks to @CathNoakes for the suggestion to consider heated volume per bed in the absence of any measures of ventilation. As predicted by theoretical work, we did indeed see that higher values were associated with reduced nosocomial transmission

Oh, and here’s a summary of the work in the style of Cormac McCarthy (er…thanks chatGPT). Not sure why more journals don’t routinely ask fo this. 🌵
So happy to see this paper finally out https://t.co/JK00fql7zQ (wonderful collaborative work with @InfectiousMoYin, Mathupanee Oonsivilai, @cherrylimxq and @NeneRiehus that started life as an away day team-building exercise in a Bangkok cafe)
