The Safety of Delayed Versus Immediate Antibiotic Prescribing for Upper Respiratory Tract Infections

Tjeerd Pieter van Staa et al.

Summary: Delaying the prescription of antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections was associated with an increased risk of infection-related hospital admissions, regardless of the patient's predicted risk levels. Targeting delayed antibiotic prescribing to URTI patients with lower risks of complications may help improve clinical safety.

Antibiotic prescribing in patients with COVID-19: rapid review and meta-analysis

Bradley J. Langford et al.

Summary: The study estimated that approximately three-quarters of patients with COVID-19 receive antibiotic treatment, which is significantly higher than the estimated prevalence of bacterial co-infection. This suggests a potential for high rates of unnecessary antibiotic use in patients with COVID-19.

Gut-Brain-Microbiota Axis: Antibiotics and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders

Tarkan Karakan et al.

Summary: The composition and function of gut microbiota play a crucial role in functional gastrointestinal disorders, with a bidirectional communication between the gut and the central nervous system. Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis is identified as a significant factor for the occurrence of these disorders, affecting the gut-brain axis and potentially leading to cognitive and mood disorders. Both animal and human trials provide strong evidence for the causal relationship between gut microbiota and brain functions, highlighting new therapeutic implications for pathogenic pathways.

Computing the polytomous discrimination index

Douglas C. Dover et al.

Summary: Polytomous regression models generalize logistic models for categorical outcome variables with more than two categories. The Polydiscrimination Index (PDI) measures the ability to distinguish between all outcome categories simultaneously.
