The VALUE-Dx project encouraged all relevant stakeholders to attend the Ecraid educational webinar “Clinical case discussion: How clinical trials inform antibiotic stewardship”, organized by VALUE-Dx partners ERS and ESCMID. The webinar took place on 19 January, 2022 from 13:00–14:30 CET.
The aim of this webinar was to provide an overview of data from clinical trials in the management of complicated urinary tract infections and pneumonia, and how this information may be incorporated into stewardship activities.
Following the webinar, participants were able to discern the relevance of microbiological tests and their interpretation for the aetiological diagnosis of pneumonia, and the evidence-based principles for antibiotic treatment of complicated UTIs and community-acquired pneumonia.
