Decreasing the Use of Cefdinir for Pediatric Urinary Tract Infections in a Rural Health Care System: A Quasi-experimental Study.
There are several antimicrobial options for treating urinary tract infections in children. Although cefdinir is commonly used, better options exist. We developed an intervention bundle to reduce the use of cefdinir in favor of cephalexin. The intervention bundle decreased cefdinir use by 19.1% (73% relative decrease) while the use of cephalexin increased by 19.8%.
