Management and Outcomes of Paediatric Bone and Joint Infections in a Regional Australian Hospital: A 10‐Year Retrospective Study
Paediatric BJI mostly occurred in young and in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Oral antibiotic weight-based dosing was often lower than international guideline recommendations for BJI. These findings highlight the need for standardised antibiotic dosing in BJI and further studies to optimise dosing in children.
