Risk Factors for Antibiotic‐Associated Diarrhoea in Paediatric Patients With Severe Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort
Key Points
The aim is to identify risk factors for antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in paediatric patients suffering from severe pneumonia.
Conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of paediatric patients with severe pneumonia.
Examined antibiotic selection, treatment duration, and probiotic interventions.
Monitored intestinal function throughout the treatment process.
Identified specific antibiotics associated with higher diarrhoea risk.
Probiotic interventions showed potential for reducing diarrhoea occurrences.
Optimising treatment duration can mitigate adverse effects.
Abstract
Core components of such protocols include optimising antibiotic selection and treatment duration, initiating early combined probiotic interventions and enhancing intestinal function monitoring.
