Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adjunctive Corticosteroid Use and Clinical Outcomes in Non-HIV Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia

Q: How do these results relate to the recent randomized trial in non-HIV PJP?

The randomized trial suggested a moderate HIV-style taper could be reasonable, with some 90-day mortality benefit, while our observational study cautions against higher-dose strategies and supports using steroids cautiously.

Adjunctive Corticosteroid Use and Clinical Outcomes in Non-HIV Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia

Q: How should clinicians apply these findings in practice?

If steroids are used, employ moderate dosing similar to regimens tested in randomized trials and avoid escalating doses; more steroids did not improve outcomes and could worsen mortality risk, especially in higher cumulative doses.

Adjunctive Corticosteroid Use and Clinical Outcomes in Non-HIV Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia

Q: What were the main findings regarding dose-response and outcomes?

There is a dose-response signal where increasing cumulative steroid exposure was associated with a higher hazard of 90-day mortality, while no clear benefit was seen in reducing intubation or speeding recovery from respiratory failure.

Adjunctive Corticosteroid Use and Clinical Outcomes in Non-HIV Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia

Q: Can you give us a basic overview of the study design?

We built a multicenter retrospective cohort of 375 adults with verified or probable non-HIV PJP who required supplemental oxygen, and we used marginal structural models with daily inverse probability of treatment weighting to analyze dose-response relationships, aiming to isolate the effect of steroid dose from changing illness severity over time.

CHEST Critical Care: The Impact of Mechanical Power Normalized to Predicted Body Weight on Outcomes in Pediatric ARDS

Q: And how did you guys adjust for severity of illness and other confounders in your study?

We adjusted for severity using several scores including the Pediatric Index of Mortalities 3 score and confounders like age.
