Nirsevimab cut 🦠-related antibiotic use in infants by 14.4%🩺 (ARTIs), 40.3%💊 (bronchiolitis), and 69.4%🏥 (RSV hospitalizations) in 15,341 pts.

academic.oup.comThe Effectiveness of Nirsevimab on Antibiotic Use in Children Using Target Trial EmulationNirsevimab is a monoclonal antibody with demonstrated efficacy in preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in infants. Because acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs), including viral infections, often lead to antibiotic prescribing, we aimed to determine the effectiveness of nirsevimab on antibiotic prescribing among infants with medically attended ARTIs.MethodsA primary care attendee cohort was established using electronic health record data from 32 diverse practices across a healthcare network to emulate a target trial comparing nirsevimab to no treatment among infants <8 months. Eligible infants were seen at a primary care practice within 14 days of life. Primary outcomes included time to first antibiotic prescription for (1) outpatient ARTIs, (2) outpatient encounters for bronchiolitis, and (3) RSV-related hospitalizations. Nirsevimab effectiveness was calculated as 1 minus the risk ratio for each primary outcome.ResultsAmong 15 341 patients who met inclusion criteria, 7413 received nirsevimab. Compared with no treatment, nirsevimab administration led to a 14.4% (95% CI: 7.8%, 20.6%) reduction in antibiotic prescribing for outpatient ARTIs, a 40.3% (95% CI: 25.1%, 52.5%) reduction in antibiotic prescribing for outpatient bronchiolitis, and a 69.4% (95% CI: 4.8%, 90.1%) reduction in antibiotic prescribing for RSV-related hospitalizations.ConclusionsNirsevimab administration in primary care reduced antibiotic use for ARTIs in both ambulatory and inpatient settings.

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Jay Bhattacharya is a health economist who dislikes virology because he thinks it’s reckless & dangerous to study pathogens or develop vaccines. I’m a virologist who dislikes this take on health economics because I think it’s reckless & dangerous to take $8.2 trillion in life value from Americans.
