This trial compares a shorter course of antibiotics to the usual longer course for children hospitalized with uncomplicated bacterial pneumonia. The goal is to see if fewer days of antibiotics work just as well, which could reduce side effects and make treatment easier.
This study tests if lung ultrasound can help doctors decide whether to use antibiotics for children with pneumonia. If your child has signs of pneumonia but is stable enough for an ultrasound, this could help avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial compares different antibiotic strategies for children with pneumonia who are being treated as outpatients. The goal is to find the best approach to treat the infection and help your child recover.
This study looks at how long children with complex medical conditions need to take antibiotics for pneumonia. The goal is to find a patient-centered approach to treatment that works best for each child.
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
This study looks at how antibiotics (“anti-microbial” medicines) are being used in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It mainly includes children who stay in the ICU for more than 48 hours, to better understand and improve safe antibiotic practices.
