This IDSA guideline outlines evidence‑based empiric and definitive antibiotic selection for complicated UTI, emphasizing severity‑based therapy, resistance risk assessment, patient‑specific factors, and stewardship‑driven narrowing once cultures return.

This IDSA guideline reviews evidence on IV‑to‑oral antibiotic transition in complicated UTI, outlining when clinically improving patients may safely switch to effective oral agents to reduce IV‑related risks, costs, and hospitalization.

- Pediatric rhinovirus infections rose nearly three-fold across two seasons (2024 to 2025: 0.42 vs. 1.22 cases/day), but clinical severity remained stable
- Fever, cough and rhinorrhea and antibiotic use declined (60% to 48.9%)
- Hospitalization rates were unchanged, chest X ray use (34.8% to 49.7%) and coinfections increased (3.5% to 10.2%) but did not affect outcomes.

- COPD and heart failure frequently coexist but remain undiagnosed
- In specialized clinics, unrecognized HF in COPD was 26.1%, and unrecognized COPD in HF was 26.8% and these patients were older, mostly male, and heavy smokers
- Abnormal echocardiography/spirometry increased exacerbation like events (1.3 vs 0.6 in COPD; 16.7% vs 6.3% in HF)
- No specific biomarkers reliably distinguished overlap disease.

- As per a systematic review & meta-analysis of 90 studies of adjunctive therapy for T1DM, GLP 1RAs lowered HbA1c (−0.56%), body weight (−3.6 kg), BMI (−1.05 kg/m²), & insulin use, with rare severe hypoglycemia/DKA but frequent GI effects
- SGLT2is improved HbA1c (−0.38%), TIR (+8.6 pp), insulin (−4.7 U/day), weight (−2.5 kg), BMI (−0.82 kg/m²), but doubled DKA risk (RR=2.19)
- Mortality/hospitalizations were rare.

- A study of 13,208 children with intermittent asthma found a distinct low‑risk subgroup with very low rates of severe exacerbations
- Over three years, these patients had far fewer hospitalizations and emergency visits than higher risk peers
- For this group, routine inhaled corticosteroid treatment offered minimal benefit and was not cost effective, suggesting current mild asthma guidelines may overtreat them.
In this webcast, the speakers have discussed the FOT Essentials and Basics, Interpretation Secrets and Advanced applications, different adult & pediatric case studies presented during the session and how Oscillometry revolutionized the diagnosis.
