Compare automatic versus as-needed follow-up after common infections
Part of Digestive system, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of scheduling a check-up after a child is hospitalized: an automatic visit or a visit only if needed (“as-needed”). It may help families and clinicians see which follow-up approach works best after illnesses like pneumonia, stomach flu (gastroenteritis), skin infections, or urinary tract infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 18 years old at the time the study enrolls
- Your child was hospitalized for pneumonia, a skin/soft tissue infection, gastroenteritis (stomach bug), or a urinary tract infection
- A parent/guardian can speak English or Spanish
- There is not already a follow-up visit scheduled within 7 days after hospital discharge
- There is no major complex long-term medical condition that makes follow-up especially complicated
- The child does not have certain complicated forms of the illness (like chest tube for pneumonia, specific bladder/kidney issues for UTI, severe wound complications for skin infections, or hemolytic uremic syndrome for gastroenteritis)

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 trial is for children under 16 who have one of several common infections seen in outpatient or clinic visits. It aims to better study and manage these illnesses using a specific clinical documentation software.
This trial tests a treatment plan for children with pneumonia who can be treated at home. It aims to find the best way to help kids get better faster and avoid complications.
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 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 study compares two ways of scheduling follow-up appointments after a child with complex medical needs leaves the hospital: automatically scheduling a visit within days, or letting families call only if they need help. It aims to find which approach works better for children with ongoing health conditions.
