Leading long-term care publication, highlights JAMDA study showing Pyure reduced respiratory infections with no operational disruption.

BOYNTON BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, April 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- McKnight's Long-Term Care News, one of the most trusted and widely read publications in the senior care industry, reaching tens of thousands of nursing home administrators, directors of nursing, clinical leaders, and C-suite executives, has recently covered the publication of this landmark peer-reviewed clinical study in JAMDA: The Journal of the American Medical Directors Association.

Key findings from the two-year study were:

● 48% reduction in respiratory and viral infections
● Infection rate cut by half (from 5.16 to 2.68 per 1,000 patient-days)
● Statistically significant results (Probability value < .001) indicating less than 0.1% chance that the observed results occurred by chance
● No statistical reduction observed in the untreated control group
● No changes made to staffing, workflows, or resident routines during the study
