Quaak CH, et al. - Researchers examined trends in time with respect to inpatient antibiotic use in a secondary paediatric care setting. For this analysis, total inpatient antibiotic consumption per year (2010–2015) and antibiotic prescriptions for urinary tract infection (UTI) and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) were investigated. They identified a decrease in third-generation cephalosporin use and intravenous route. Findings suggested that LRTI treatment was significantly shorter and more narrow in spectrum and this could be explained by awareness and interventions in the context of antimicrobial stewardship. In non-tertiary paediatric wards, a reduction in antibiotic use was also feasible and important.
