The Burden and Impact of Antibiotic Prescribing in Ambulatory Pediatrics.
Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care 2018 November
Antibiotics are one of the most commonly prescribed classes of medication for children and adolescents. While they are arguably the most powerful tool we possess against bacterial infections, they are frequently given to children whose illnesses are due to viruses or other non-infectious etiologies. When antibiotics are not used judiciously, the consequences can be serious and accumulate over time. This review article quantifies the burden of antimicrobial use in the pediatric outpatient setting in the United States, reviews recommended first line antibiotic regimens for common outpatient pediatric and adolescent conditions, investigates the reasons for inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics in outpatient healthcare settings, and explores the range of consequences of overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics, from adverse drug reactions to impact on the microbiome to rising rates of antimicrobial resistance in common ambulatory conditions.
