The annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America was held this year from Oct. 16 to 19 in Los Angeles, drawing participants from around the world, including scientists, physicians, and other health care professionals. The conference featured education courses and comprehensive educational programs that focused on the latest advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases.

美国传染病学会年会于今年10月16日至19日在洛杉矶举行，与会者来自世界各地，包括科学家、医生和其他医疗保健专业人员。会议以教育课程和综合教育计划为特色，重点关注传染病诊断、治疗和预防方面的最新进展。

The meeting also provided insight into emerging infections, new diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutic interventions.In one study, Timothy Afable, Pharm.D., of Loma Linda University in California, and colleagues found that patients residing in areas of high social vulnerability face disproportionate socioeconomic obstacles that may affect initial Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) outcomes.The U.S.

会议还深入了解了新出现的感染、新诊断、疫苗和治疗干预措施。在一项研究中，加利福尼亚州洛马琳达大学（Loma Linda University）的蒂莫西·阿法布尔（TimothyAfable）及其同事发现，居住在高度社会脆弱地区的患者面临着不成比例的社会经济障碍，这可能会影响最初的艰难梭菌感染（CDI）结果。美国。

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) tool was used to assess how social determinants of health impact initial CDI outcomes, including disease severity and mortality. The researchers observed greater frequencies of severe and fulminant initial CDI and higher all-cause mortality among patients with high SVI scores (≥0.5).'Worse CDI severity and mortality rates are observed among patients with high vulnerability scores across the four themes included in the CDC SVI tool,' Afable said.

疾病控制和预防中心有毒物质和疾病登记处社会脆弱性指数（SVI）工具用于评估健康的社会决定因素如何影响初始CDI结果，包括疾病严重程度和死亡率。研究人员观察到，SVI评分高（≥0.5）的患者发生严重和暴发性初始CDI的频率更高，全因死亡率更高Afable说，在CDC SVI工具中包含的四个主题中，脆弱性评分较高的患者的CDI严重程度和死亡率较差。

'However, racial and ethnic minority status is the strongest predictor of poor CDI outcomes.'Press ReleaseAs part of the BALANCE trial, Nick Daneman, M.D., of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto, and colleagues found that seven days of antibiotic treatment is noninferior to 14 days of antibiotic treatment for patients with bloodstream infections.The authors compar.

“然而，种族和少数民族地位是CDI结果不佳的最强预测因素。”新闻稿作为平衡试验的一部分，桑尼布鲁克健康科学中心和多伦多大学的医学博士尼克·达尼曼及其同事发现，对于血流感染患者，7天的抗生素治疗并不劣于14天的抗生素治疗。作者比较。
