BALANCE compared 7 vs 14 days abx for bacteremia (excluded staph aureus, severely immunocompromised, complicated endovascular infections).
7 days was noninferior, but 1/2 of all patients were not in ICU, and 1/4 in the 7 day group got longer course.

EVERDAC trial examined deferral of art lines in critical illness, showed deferral of art lines was non-inferior to cuff pressures.
Caveat: 15% in cuff pressure arm got an arterial line for meeting prespecified safety thresholds

Culture negative sepsis can be challenging to diagnose and treat. More efforts needed in host-pathogen interactions.
Role for removing endotoxin burden is thought-provoking.

Who is the 'real' control when studying sepsis, if that patient would be exposed to that specific pathogen and develop a response.

Anakinra is a great example using precision medicine looking back at who would benefit from host directed therapeutics.
