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

To help foster these conversations, CODA investigators have created an online decision-making tool for patients #appyornot. Check it out here: appyornot.org or scan the QR code below.

However, after 48 hours, the chance of getting an appendectomy is not greater than among people who have an appendicolith!

In short, the longer-term results confirmed #antibiotics are not worse than #appendectomy and are safe to take.

The @PCORI-funded #CODATrial is the largest study of #appendectomy vs #antibiotics for #appendicitis and was truly a team effort: 1552 participants were enrolled and over 30 surgeons and ED docs championed CODA at 25 sites across the US.

We should have had you join - I KNOW you have thoughts!
Social media can be a great way to talk about research in a way people can understand: 240 characters or less!
Can't wait to learn what #UWSoMeChat highlights!
Patient's voices are central to @certainWA & have been 🔑in the #CODATrial. Our hard-working Patient Advisory Board led us to keep patients & participants front of mind. They're not all on Twitter, but MANY thanks to @bonbiztweets @maryguiden @kbdeeney & the rest of our partners!
and last but certainly not least, the team @HenryFordNews!
Thank you for taking #CODATrial from an idea to a successful trial with results!

Primary results of #CODATrial that Michigan Medicine participated in found many adults with appendicitis could avoid surgery when given antibiotics.

MMC was 1 of 25 hospitals collaborating in #CODATrial of #antibiotics vs #surgery for #appendicitis, with primary results today in @NEJM. Findings: most can avoid surgery, but pros/cons of both should be considered. mainehealth.org/News/2020/09…
Also at CODAStudy.org, find plain-language summaries of our results, along with FAQs and complete collaborator credits.
