@ABsteward Using PCT for antibiotic initiation killed ppl admitted in the ICU w Acute Exacerbation of COPD https://t.co/BedDJEGrwc
@vimsy70 This study https://t.co/Wqz7Gouo8y showed that in patients with COPD exacerbations admitted to the ICU, withholding or stopping antibiotics based on PCT levels could be problematic
@DrToddLee @ABsteward @ASPphysician When it comes to COPDE requiring ICU, there is indirect evidence that ATB Tx can save lives and direct evidence that PCT is misleading. Source: https://t.co/BedDJEFTGE

Dr. Joanna Wang reviewed mixed evidence on procalcitonin in multiple diseases. RCT of COPD exac in ICU found PCT-guided abx algorithm were NOT non-inferior in 3-month mortality, and actually worse for patients who were not on abx at baseline: https://t.co/
