Pharmacoepidemiological study of treatment of frequently ill children: analysis of preferences of primary care pediatricians in choosing therapy

Objective : A survey of 464 primary care pediatricians was conducted to determine the choice of therapy for a group of frequently ill children depending on their length of service: from 3 to 10 years or more. Results: Recurrent acute respiratory infections are a complex problem for treating physicians. There is no consensus on the tactics of managing a group of frequently ill children among practicing pediatricians with different lengths of service. Preventive strategies come to the forefront to minimize the frequency of acute respiratory infections.
