Congrats @mbianchini12 excited to read this! Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of New Beta-Lactam Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor Antibiotics Versus Colistin for the Treatment of Carbapenem-Resistant Infections https://t.co/vsw2uVkDWt
Great new article by @mbianchini12, @PharmerMeg, and Jonathan Campbell about cost effectiveness of new BL/BLI vs. Colistin. They did a great job capturing indirect cost of AKI and QALYs! https://t.co/JUQB4gyjmE
My dad advocated for himself at the pharmacy to get the PPSV23 vaccine today! We've talked a lot about vaccines. He made me proud with that one. #VaccinesWork
Today is a great day to ask your Senators to co-sponsor the PASTEUR Act! This AMR bill encourages sustainable antimicrobial development and supports antimicrobial stewardship. Take action! @CoryGardner@MichaelBennet

Rescued my dog off the street in Detroit almost 2 years ago. Un-spayed, underweight, chronic ear infections, heartworm+.
Today, we got results that she is HEARTWORM NEGATIVE! Treatment can be brutal, especially for older dogs, so I am beaming. Rawhides for Hazelnut all week!!
Take-away from our recent @TuftsCEVR webinar: there are many disease areas with lots of DALYs, few CEAs. We need more CEAs to support key #UHC priorities.
Thanks @dollendorf; @glassmanamanda, @Maryam_huda67 for remarks!

A single coronavirus update snapshot.
Florida.
FL got a lot of praise for how it handled nursing home cases (very well).
Florida pushed opening amid sneering from people who didn't understand its case spread.
Now?
Last 4 days: Most new cases of any 4-days in the pandemic.
The NEJM compassionate-use remdesivir data was always sort of a "passing curiosity while we await trial data" but it's disappointing that the analysis was done wrong.
But, it offers an opportunity for a teachable moment about "time-to-event" analysis of non-mortality outcomes.
Do you ever have those moments as a learner where you think, "THIS is my jam!!"?
🙋🏻♀️Me during #ISPORAnnual session "identifying and evidencing the value of novel antibiotics - are health outcomes enough?"
THANK YOU to Monica Schneider, @MJSculpher and Silas Holland !
@IDPharmProf@MJSculpher Take away: evaluating the value of antibiotics is HARD and needs some some novel approaches compared to other health technology assessment!
My favorite slide describing the various types of inputs that could/should be considered in economic evaluations of novel antibiotics:
No easy answers for how to appropriately value & price #Remdesivir, but we offer thoughts in @Health_Affairs today on how to think about cost vs value-based pricing (& what to include in value calculations). https://t.co/Ao5U9lXh4t @TuftsCEVR @dollendorf @contirena1@DusetzinaS
New multi-center quasi-experimental study published by multiple @SIDPharm members in CID evaluated impact of early short-course corticosteroids on clinical outcomes in n=213 patients w/ #COVID19

There’s a new paper circulating today about “risk factors” for COVID19 which is getting misinterpreted in a pretty common way: applying conclusions about causation to results obtained via methods designed only for finding correlations.
It’s time for a #tweetorial!
Following today's FDA emergency use authorization, ICER presents alternative pricing models for Remdesivir as a treatment for COVID-19: https://t.co/pG2dSurbcw
