Default Antibiotic Order Durations for Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in Outpatient Pediatrics: A Cluster Randomized Trial
We did not detect an overall impact of an order panel with default durations in reducing long antibiotic prescriptions for SSTIs. When ordered from the intervention panel, prescriptions were usually guideline-concordant. Effective strategies to make choosing a default duration more automatic are necessary to further reduce long prescriptions.
