📣 Today, CERTAIN’s #CODATrial, comparing #antibiotics with #surgery to treat #appendicitis, publishes its longer-term outcome results in @NEJM! Read the article: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…. 1/15

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

Anyone managing patients w/ #appendicitis knows that #antibiotics as primary treatment has been a hot topic. Help us see how antibiotic use for appendicitis is playing out in the community. Take our 1- minute anonymous survey. We'll share results soon! redcap.link/AppyPractice

The TRIAD implementation program is building on results of the #CODATrial and will lead to more informed decision-making related to antibiotics for appendicitis and better outcomes with antibiotics treatment. More to come soon on this exciting project! @gianamontana

Study findings suggest that for patients considering antibiotics who want to better understand their chance of appendectomy, assessing appendicolith status may be informative. ja.ma/3fyDADr

CODA fundamentally changed the way we think about appendicitis. Tune in to @BehindTheKnife to get the hot take on brand new long term data presented/published today @AmCollSurgeons/@NEJM. Thank you @LillianKao1 and David Flum for joining us.

Important study from Drs. @gianamontana @DaveFlum @FarhoodFarjah Et al., "Antibiotics versus Appendectomy for Acute Appendicitis — Longer-Term Outcomes." Read more >> nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… (requires @NEJM) #antibiotictreatment #appendectomy #appendicitis #appendicolith

Happening now at #ACSCC21 discussion of the #CODAtrial long term outcomes and patient factors for appendectomy vs antibiotics for treatment acute appendicitis. We are proud to be a participating site under the leadership of Dr. Skeete and Brett Faine, PharmD.

Grateful to the surgeons, EM docs, and especially the participants from 25 hospitals who made the #CODATrial. We compared #antibiotics with #surgery to treat #appendicitis. Longer-term outcome results at #ACSCC21 released now and in @NEJM today

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-re…

#Appyornot also contains questions to help you think about which treatment is best for you. All your answers to the questions will remain anonymous. Patients should continue to work with their healthcare provider to determine the treatment option that is best for them. 15/15

This online tool contains informational videos in English and Spanish (with other languages to come) that will help patients decide which treatment is best for them! #appyornot 14/15
