This is the first major update to these guidelines since 2014.

An observational study suggests some small differences in outcomes.

Measuring procalcitonin shortened antibiotic duration by about 1 day, but questions about safety remain.

Some oncologists are far more aggressive than others.

In patients with hip fracture and an elevated troponin level, rapid surgical intervention was associated with lower mortality.

A recent meta-analysis suggests that it is safe and effective for syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.

During a 3-year study, most patients reverted to normoglycemia.

A meta-analysis reaffirms generally better outcomes with therapeutic than with prophylactic anticoagulation — with some exceptions.
