The #CODAtrial emphasized culturally sensitive, language concordant care and found that antibiotic management of acute appendicitis didn’t lead to worse clinical outcomes in Spanish-speaking patients. ja.ma/447BW35

About half the patients with appendicitis don’t need appendectomy up to 4 yrs. after course of antibiotics. Final results: Comparison of Outcomes of antibiotic Drugs and Appendectomy #CODAtrial published today in @NEJM, presented at #ACSCC21. facs.org/media/press-release…

New study by @IHME_UW estimates more than 900k Americans have died of COVID-19, up from current estimates of 562k. Study finds more than 7m million people have died worldwide from the disease, more than twice as many as official estimate. @UWMedicine bit.ly/3tBHS19
