Streamlining antibiotic use in community acquired pneumonia: A quality improvement initiative
Abstract Background Evidence suggests a 3‐day total duration and early transition to oral therapy is safe in hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)—though such care is not standard in the United States. To implement these evidence‐based practices, a multidisciplinary group led by a hospitalist and antimicrobial stewardship ...

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.

Abstract Background Hospital‐acquired venous thromboembolism (HA‐VTE) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized adults. Accurate prediction of HA‐VTE is crucial for timely intervention and prevention. While logistic regression is widely used for the development of clinical prediction models, there is ongoing interest in the ...
