Abstract
Background: Appropriate antimicrobial therapy for the management of intra-abdominal infection (IAI) continues to evolve based on available literature. The Study to Optimize Peritoneal Infection Therapy (STOP-IT) trial provided evidence to support four days of antibiotic agents in IAI post-source control but excluded patients with a planned re-laparotomy. This study aimed to determine the short- and long-term recurrent infection risk in this population. Patients and Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, observational study of adult patients admitted to a quaternary medical center between January 1, 2016, and August 1, 2022, with IAI requiring planned laparotomy. Patients were designated as receiving five or less days of antibiotic agents (short course) or more than five days (long course) after source control. The primary outcome was IAI recurrence within 30 days. Results: Of the 104 patients who met inclusion criteria, 78 were included in analysis. Average age was 57 ± 13.3 years, 56% were male, 94% Caucasian, with a mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score of 17 ± 7.09. All other baseline characteristics and clinical severity markers were similar between the two groups. Regarding the primary outcome of IAI recurrence, there was no difference when comparing those who received short course versus those who received long course therapy (41.2% vs. 44.4%; p = 0.781). No differences were found between groups with respect to secondary outcomes. Conclusions: In patients admitted with IAI managed with planned re-laparotomy those who received short course antimicrobial therapy were not found to have an increase in IAI recurrence compared to those with longer courses of therapy.

Abstract
We assessed the performance of GenMark's ePlex® Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panels for overall agreement of organism identification and resistance mechanism detection with standard microbiologic methods. This study included patients with a positive blood culture from May 2020 to January 2021. The primary outcomes were to assess concordance of ePlex® organism identification with standard identification methods and concordance of ePlex® genotypic resistance mechanism detection with standard phenotypic susceptibility testing. Secondary outcomes included panel specific performance and characterization of antimicrobial stewardship opportunities. The overall identification concordance rate in 1276 positive blood cultures was 98.1%. The overall concordance for the presence of resistance markers was 98.2% and concordance for the absence of resistance markers was 100%. A majority of ePlex® results (69.5%) represented opportunities for potential antimicrobial stewardship intervention. High concordance rates between the ePlex® BCID panels and standard identification and susceptibility methods enable utilization of results to guide rapid antimicrobial optimization.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Administration of doses via an extended infusion (EI) is an important strategy to optimize beta-lactams. Available data on the impact of EI on outcomes largely focus on clinical cure or mortality in critically ill patients or those with resistant pathogens. The potential benefits of EI extend beyond these populations and outcomes and further study is warranted.
Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients who received cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam, or meropenem for gram-negative bacteremia via EI or intermittent infusion (II). Patients were matched 1:1 based on study drug, sepsis severity, ICU status, bacteremia source, and pathogen. Outcomes assessed included time to clinical stabilization, rates of treatment failure, mortality, recurrence, and length of stay (LOS).
Results
268 patients were included. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Forty two percent of patients were in the ICU at infection onset and the most common pathogen was E. coli (41%). After adjusting for residual differences between groups, receipt of EI was independently associated with shorter time to clinical stability [aOR 0.32, 95% CI 0.22-0.47], time to defervescence, and time to white blood cell count normalization. Furthermore, EI was associated with a lower incidence of treatment failure, decreased recurrence of bacteremia, and shorter LOS. There was no difference in mortality. These findings were consistent regardless of patient location (ICU vs. ward), baseline renal function, source of bacteremia, or study drug received.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that EI beta-lactams are an important stewardship strategy to improve clinical outcomes in patients with Gram-negative bacteremia.

Abstract
Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) has been widely used in clinical practice for many decades because of its associated cost savings, reductions in inpatient hospital days, and decreases in hospital-associated infections. Despite this long history, evolving practice patterns and new drug delivery devices continue to present challenges as well as opportunities for clinicians when designing appropriate outpatient antimicrobial regimens. One such change is the increasing use of extended and continuous infusion (CI) of antimicrobials to optimize the achievement of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic targets. Elastomeric devices are also becoming increasingly popular in OPAT, including for the delivery of CI. In this article, we review the clinical evidence for CI in OPAT, as well as practical considerations of patient preferences, cost, and antimicrobial stability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Consensus guidelines recommend targeting a vancomycin area under the curve to minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC24 :MIC) ratio of 400-600 to improve therapeutic success and reduce nephrotoxicity. Although guidelines specify either Bayesian software or first-order equations may be used to estimate AUC24 , there are currently no large studies directly comparing these methods. OBJECTIVE To compare calculated vancomycin AUC24 using first-order equations with two-drug concentrations at steady state to Bayesian two- and one-concentration estimations. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of 978 adult hospitalized patients receiving intravenous vancomycin between 2017 and 2019. Patients were included if they received at least 72 h of vancomycin and had two-serum drug concentrations obtained. AUC24 was calculated using first-order analytic (linear), Bayesian two-concentration, and Bayesian one-concentration methods for each patient. The InsightRx™ software platform was used to calculate Bayesian AUC24 . Pearson's correlation and clinical agreement (based on AUC24 classified as subtherapeutic, therapeutic, or supratherapeutic) were used to assess agreement between methods. Bland-Altman plots were used to assess mean difference (MD) and 95% limits of agreement (LOA). RESULTS Excellent agreement was observed between linear and Bayesian two-concentration methods (r = 0.963, clinical agreement = 87.4%) and Bayesian two-concentration and one-concentration methods (r = 0.931, clinical agreement = 88.5%); however, a degree of variability was noted with 95% LOA -99 to 76 (MD = -11.5 mg*h/L) and -92 to 113 (MD = -10.4 mg*h/L), for the respective comparisons. The agreement between linear and Bayesian one-concentration approaches was less than prior comparisons (r = 0.823, clinical agreement = 76.8%) and demonstrated the greatest amount of variability with 95% LOA -197 to 153 (MD = -21.9 mg*h/L). CONCLUSIONS Linear and Bayesian two-concentration methods demonstrated high-level agreement with acceptable variability and may be considered comparable to estimate vancomycin AUC24 . As linear and Bayesian one-concentration methods demonstrated significant variability and suboptimal agreement, concerns exist surrounding the interchangeability of these methods in clinical practice, particularly at higher extremes of AUC24 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting evidence suggests the addition of a β-lactam (BL) to daptomycin (DAP) results in synergistic in vitro activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and bolsters the innate immune response to infection. This study's objective was to provide clinical translation to these experimental data and determine if DAP+BL combination therapy results in improved clinical outcomes compared with treatment with DAP alone in patients with MRSA bloodstream infections (BSIs). METHODS This was a retrospective, comparative cohort study conducted at 2 academic medical centers between 2008 and 2018. Adults with MRSA BSI treated with DAP for ≥72 hours and initiated ≤5 days of culture collection were included. Patients who received a BL for ≥24 hours and initiated ≤24 hours of DAP comprised the DAP+BL group. The primary outcome was composite clinical failure (60-day all-cause mortality and/or 60-day recurrence). Analyses were adjusted for confounding using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). RESULTS A total of 229 patients were included (72 DAP+BL and 157 DAP). In unadjusted and IPTW-adjusted analyses, DAP+BL was associated with significantly reduced odds of clinical failure (odds ratio [OR], 0.362; 95% confidence interval [CI], .164-.801; adjusted OR, 0.386; 95% CI, .175-.853). Adjusted analyses restricted to prespecified subgroups based on infection complexity and baseline health status were consistent with the main analysis. CONCLUSIONS The addition of a BL to DAP was associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with MRSA BSI. This study provides support to ongoing and future studies evaluating the impact of combination therapy for invasive MRSA infections.Patients treated with daptomycin plus a β-lactam for MRSA bloodstream infection had lower odds of composite clinical failure defined as 60-day all-cause mortality and/or 60-day recurrence compared with patients treated with daptomycin monotherapy after adjusting for confounding variables using inverse probability of treatment weighting.

Abstract
Background Bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to ceftriaxone (CRO)-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are associated with delays in time to appropriate therapy and worse outcomes compared with infections due to susceptible isolates. However, treating all at-risk patients with empiric carbapenem therapy risks overexposure. Strategies are needed to appropriately balance these competing interests. The purpose of this study was to compare 4 methods for achieving this balance. Methods This was a retrospective hypothetical observational study of patients at the Detroit Medical Center with monomicrobial BSIs due to E. coli, K. oxytoca, K. pneumoniae, or P. mirabilis. This study compared the effectiveness of 4 methods to predict CRO resistance at the time of organism isolation. Three methods were based on applying published extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) scoring tools. The fourth method was based on the presence or absence of the CTX-M marker from Verigene. Results Four hundred fifty-one Enterobacteriaceae BSIs were included, 73 (16%) of which were CRO-resistant. Verigene accurately predicted ceftriaxone susceptibility for 97% of isolates, compared with 70%-81% using the scoring tools (P < .001). Verigene was associated with fewer cases of treatment with CRO when the isolate was CRO-resistant (15% vs 63%-71% with scoring tools) and fewer cases of overtreatment with a carbapenem for CRO-susceptible strains (0.3% vs 10%-12%). Conclusions Verigene significantly outperformed published ESBL scoring tools for identifying CRO-resistant Enterobacteriaceae BSI. Institutions should validate scoring tools before implementation. Stewardship programs should consider adoption of rapid diagnostic tests to optimize early therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections (BSI) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. More in vitro, in vivo, and clinical data suggest that vancomycin (VAN) or daptomycin (DAP) combination therapy with β-lactams (BL) improves outcomes of MRSA infections. We hypothesize that BL combination with VAN or DAP would reduce the odds of clinical failure compared to VAN or DAP monotherapy. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of adult patients ≥ 18 years treated with VAN or DAP for MRSA BSI from 2006 to 2019 at Detroit Medical Center. Combination therapy (CT) was defined as VAN or DAP plus any BL for ≥ 24 h within 72 h of index culture. Monotherapy (MT) was defined as ≥ 72 h VAN or DAP within 72 h of index culture and no BL for ≥ 24 h up to 7 days following VAN/DAP initiation. Primary outcome was composite endpoint of clinical failure defined as: (1) 30-day mortality, (2) 60-day recurrence, or (3) persistent bacteremia (PB). PB was defined as bacteremia > 5 days. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between CT and the primary outcome. RESULTS Overall, 597 patients were included in this analysis, 153 in the MT group and 444 in the CT group. CT was independently associated with reduced odds of clinical failure (adjusted odds ratio, 0.523; 95% confidence interval, 0.348-0.787). The composite endpoint was driven by 60-day recurrence and PB but not 30-day mortality. There were no difference in adverse events including nephrotoxicity between the two study arms. CONCLUSIONS In hospitalized adults with MRSA BSI, CT with any BL was independently associated with improved clinical outcomes and may ultimately be selected as preferred therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Combination β-lactam and vancomycin (VAN) prevent the emergence of resistance and result in synergistic antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro. We sought to provide clinical translation to these data and determine if patients with MRSA bloodstream infection (BSI) treated with VAN + cefazolin (VAN/CFZ) via our MRSA BSI clinical pathway had improved clinical outcomes compared VAN alone.
Methods
Multicenter, retrospective, comparative cohort study from 2006 to 2019 in adults with MRSA BSI treated with VAN for ≥ 72 hours. VAN/CFZ was defined as VAN + CFZ within ≤ 72 hours of index culture for ≥ 24 hours. Other β-lactams were allowed for < 48 h in the VAN/CFZ group. The VAN alone group could not have other β-lactams within 7 days of treatment initiation. The primary outcome was clinical failure defined as a composite of 30-d all-cause mortality, 60-day recurrence, and persistent BSI (≥ 7 days). The independent effect of VAN/CFZ on clinical failure was evaluated with multivariable logistic regression. The primary safety endpoint was nephrotoxicity within 7 days of treatment initiation.
Results
A total of 237 patients were included (104 VAN/CFZ, 133 VAN). The most common BSI sources were skin/soft tissue (29.1%), IV catheter (21.9%), osteoarticular (20.3%) and infective endocarditis (16.0%). Demographic and clinical characteristics were similar between groups except VAN/CFZ had a higher median APACHE II score (18 vs. 13, P = 0.011). VAN/CFZ patients were also more likely to have received an infectious disease consult (100% vs. 81.2%, P < 0.001). Median (IQR) duration of CFZ was 115 (87–164) hours. After controlling for age, APACHE II score, ID consult and infection source, VAN/CFZ was associated with reduced odds of clinical failure (aOR 0.425, 95% CI 0.228, 0.792). Bivariate outcomes are shown in the table:
Conclusion
Patients with MRSA BSI treated with VAN/CFZ vs. VAN experienced fewer clinical failures, supporting additional studies evaluating the role of adjuvant CFZ for MRSA BSI.

Abstract
Background BSI due to ceftriaxone (CRO)-resistant ENT are increasing in frequency, and are associated with delays in time to appropriate therapy. However, treating all patients at risk for CRO-resistant organisms with empiric carbapenem (CARB) therapy risks over exposure. Strategies are needed to appropriately balance these competing interests. The purpose of this study was to compare three methods for accomplishing this balance. Methods Retrospective observational study of patients at the Detroit Medical Center with ENT BSI from July 1, 2016 to July 31, 2017. Patients with E. coli, K. oxytoca, K. pneumoniae, or P. mirabilis were included if both Verigene® GN-BC and traditional microbiology detected the organism. Patients were excluded if CARB resistance was detected via genetic markers. This study assessed the effectiveness of three methods to predict CRO resistance at the time of organism isolation. The first two methods were based on applying published scoring tools for extended spectrum β-lactamase BSI. If the patient met the cutoff score proposed by the authors they were hypothetically placed on a CARB, otherwise they were placed on CRO. Method 3 was based on results from Verigene. If the CTX-M marker was present patients were hypothetically placed on a CARB, and if not CRO. The methods were compared for their sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and the number of times they would have resulted in inappropriate therapy or unnecessary escalation to CARB. Results Four hundred fifty-one ENT were included, 73 (16%) of which were CRO-resistant. The comparative performance of the three methods is listed in the figure. Verigene performed well and was associated with fewer cases of early under treatment and over treatment. Published ESBL scoring tools performed poorly, missing two-thirds of CRO-resistant isolates and unnecessarily exposing many patients to CARB. Given the improved sensitivity and specificity of Verigene similar overall CARB use would be seen in the cohort despite roughly 40 patients getting placed on CARB 2 days earlier when CRO-resistant BSI was present. Conclusion Vergiene significantly outperformed published ESBL scoring tools for identifying CRO-resistant ENT BSI. Institutions should validate scoring tools prior to implementation. ![]()

Abstract
Evidence supports vancomycin therapeutic-drug monitoring by area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), but data to establish an AUC upper limit are limited and published nephrotoxicity thresholds range widely. The objective of this analysis was to examine the association between initial vancomycin AUC and nephrotoxicity. This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of adult patients receiving intravenous vancomycin from 2014 to 2015. Nephrotoxicity was defined as a serum creatinine increase of 0.5 mg/liter and 50% from baseline on consecutive measurements. Vancomycin exposure profile during the initial 48 h of therapy was estimated using maximum a posteriori probability Bayesian estimation. Vancomycin AUC and minimum-concentration (Cmin) thresholds most strongly associated with nephrotoxicity were identified via classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. Predictive performances of CART-derived and other candidate AUC thresholds was assessed through positive and negative predictive value and receiver operating characteristic curves. Poisson regression was used to quantify the association between exposure thresholds and nephrotoxicity while adjusting for confounders. Among 323 patients included, nephrotoxicity was significantly higher in patients with AUCs from 0 to 48 h (AUC0-48) of ≥1,218 mg · h/liter, AUC0-24 of ≥677 mg · h/liter, AUC24-48 of ≥683 mg · h/liter, and day 1 Cmin (Cmin24) of ≥18.8 mg/liter. Vancomycin exposure in excess of these thresholds was associated with a 3- to 4-fold-increased risk of nephrotoxicity in Poisson regression. The predictive performance of AUC for nephrotoxicity was maximized at daily AUC values between 600 and 800 mg · h/liter. Although these data support an AUC range for vancomycin-associated nephrotoxity rather than a single threshold, available evidence suggests that a daily AUC limit of 700 mg · h/liter is reasonable.

Abstract
PURPOSE The implementation and outcomes of a pharmacy residency mentorship program are described. SUMMARY The mentorship program at the Detroit Medical Center was formally implemented during the residency orientation period in 2013. Residents had up to two months after the start of the residency to choose a mentor, which we believed was an adequate amount of time to meet all members of the department of pharmacy. One year after implementation of the mentorship program, an anonymous survey was administered to all 16 residents to gather feedback about the mentorship program. Eleven (70%) of the 16 residents completed the survey. A majority agreed that having a mentor was a beneficial aspect of their residency training, often citing their mentor as integral in their career planning and helpful in balancing their personal and professional lives. Further, 91% (n = 10) of the respondents indicated that they planned on remaining in contact with their mentor after their residency. Nearly half of the residents met multiple times per month or weekly. All respondents stated that their mentor was available and accessible when needed. The year after program implementation, all residents were either offered a position for employment or matched to a residency before the completion of the residency. Although the mentors were not assessed with an anonymous survey, there continues to be overwhelming support for the continuation and improvement of the program as part of residency training. CONCLUSION Implementation of a mentorship program during residency training was viewed as beneficial for personal and professional development by many of the residents.

Abstract
A 48-year-old female, who was found unresponsive and suffered inhalation injury secondary to a house fire, was transferred to our burn center for definitive treatment. Post tracheostomy, the patient became febrile and tachycardic. On hospital day (HD) 5, the patient expressed thick yellow secretions during suctioning and diffuse rhonchi was noted on physical exam. Blood cultures and a culture from the broncheo-alvelolar lavage grew Gram-positive cocci in clusters and the patient was started on empiric vancomycin. Despite aggressive vancomycin dosing (1750 mg intravenously every 6 h), the patient's status continued to deteriorate. The organism was identified as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with a vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 mg/L. Based on the potential for drug-drug interactions with linezolid, the patient was started on ceftaroline fosamil (MIC = 0.5 mg/L) 600 mg intravenously every 8 h with a prolonged 2-h infusion to anticipate suboptimal concentrations secondary to thermal burn injury. Post change in antibiotic therapy, a rapid clinical improvement was observed with the patient becoming afebrile at 48 h after initiation of ceftaroline. The patient completed a total of 14 days of ceftaroline therapy and was subsequently weaned from the ventilator on HD 22 and decannulated 2 days later. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of ceftaroline for the treatment of MRSA pneumonia in a patient with thermal injury.

Abstract
In the era of carbapenem-resistance in Acinobacter baumannii and Enterobacteriaceae, there are limited treatment options for these pathogens. It is essential that clinicians fully assess all available therapeutic alternatives for these multidrug-resistant organisms. We herein describe the approach of the antimicrobial stewardship team at the Detroit Medical Center (DMC) for the evaluation and use of intravenous (IV) minocycline for the treatment of these resistant organisms, given potential advantages of IV minocycline over tigecycline and doxycycline. In vitro analyses at the DMC demonstrated good activity against A. baumannii (78% susceptibility), including 74% of carbapenem-resistant strains, but limited activity against our carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae (12% susceptibility.) Based in part on these results, IV minocycline was added to the formulary, primarily for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii. Early experience has been positive: 6/9 (67%) of patients who received IV minocycline had infections due to these organisms cured, including 6/7 (86%) who received doses of 200 mg twice daily.

Abstract
Ceftaroline has been approved for acute bacterial skin infections and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia. Limited clinical experience exists for use outside these indications. The objective of this study was to describe the outcomes of patients treated with ceftaroline for various infections. Retrospective analyses of patients receiving ceftaroline ≥72 h from 2011 to 2013 were included. Clinical and microbiological outcomes were analyzed. Clinical success was defined as resolution of all signs and symptoms of infection with no further need for escalation while on ceftaroline treatment during hospitalization. A total of 527 patients received ceftaroline, and 67% were treated for off-label indications. Twenty-eight percent (148/527) of patients had bacteremia. Most patients (80%) were initiated on ceftaroline after receipt of another antimicrobial, with 48% citing disease progression as a reason for switching. The median duration of ceftaroline treatment was 6 days, with an interquartile range of 4 to 9 days. A total of 327 (62%) patients were culture positive, and the most prevalent pathogen was Staphylococcus aureus, with a frequency of 83% (271/327). Of these patients, 88.9% (241/271) were infected with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Clinically, 88% (426/484) achieved clinical success and hospital mortality was seen in 8% (40/527). While on ceftaroline, adverse events were experienced in 8% (41/527) of the patients and 9% (28/307) were readmitted within 30 days after discharge for the same infection. Patients treated with ceftaroline for both FDA-approved and off-label infections had favorable outcomes. Further research is necessary to further describe the role of ceftaroline in a variety of infections and its impact on patient outcomes.

Abstract
The electronic medical record (EMR) has huge potential for facilitating antimicrobial stewardship efforts by directing providers to preferred antimicrobials. Cerner PowerChart currently holds the number 2 position in the EMR market. Although PowerChart has limited "out of the box" functionalities to optimize stewardship efforts, there are many potential utilities that can be developed to assist in stewardship practice. However, to harness the stewardship potential of the EMR system, significant hospital information technology resources are needed. Herein we describe the experiences of 3 large healthcare systems utilizing Cerner to facilitate prior authorization of antimicrobials, prospective audit and feedback of antimicrobials, and supplemental stewardship strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of active alerting of positive blood culture data coupled with stewardship intervention on time to appropriate therapy, length of stay, and mortality in patients with gram-negative bacteremia. DESIGN Quasi-experimental retrospective cohort study in patients with gram-negative bacteremia at the Detroit Medical Center from 2009 to 2011. SETTING Three hospitals (1 community, 2 academic) with active antimicrobial stewardship programs within the Detroit Medical Center. PATIENTS All patients with monomicrobial gram-negative bacteremia during the study period. INTERVENTION Active alerting of positive blood culture data coupled with stewardship intervention (2010-2011) compared with patients who received no formalized stewardship intervention (2009). RESULTS Active alerting and intervention led to a decreased time to appropriate therapy (8 [interquartile range (IQR), 2-24] vs 14 [IQR, 2-35] hours; P = .014) in patients with gram-negative bacteremia. After controlling for differences between groups, being in the intervention arm was associated with an independent reduction in length of stay (odds ratio [OR], 0.73 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.62-0.86]), correlating to a median attributable decrease in length of stay of 2.2 days. Additionally, multivariate modeling of patients who were not on appropriate antimicrobial therapy at the time of initial culture positivity showed that patients in the intervention group had a significant reduction in both length of stay (OR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.66-0.86]) and infection-related mortality (OR, 0.24 [95% CI, 0.08-0.76]). CONCLUSIONS Active alerting coupled with stewardship intervention in patients with gram-negative bacteremia positively impacted time to appropriate therapy, length of stay, and mortality and should be a target of antimicrobial stewardship programs.

Abstract
Peptic ulcer disease is a significant cause of morbidity and in certain cases mortality among affected individuals. Proper identification and treatment of peptic ulcer disease is imperative to decreasing its associated sequellae. The most common causes of peptic ulcer disease are the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and infection with Helicobacter pylori. Initial assessment of the patient with dyspepsia is paramount, as the presence of symptoms will dictate further management. With currently available treatment regimens and the ability to reduce gastrointestinal bleeding it is important for all clinicians to have knowledge of this disease, its diagnosis, and pharmacotherapy.
