You may be eligible if
For PNA, children must have radiographic evidence of pneumonia as read by a radiologist, and clinical diagnosis of pneumonia, and clinician prescription of guideline-concordant antibiotics for pneumonia. For SSTI, we will include children with cellulitis alone or cellulitis with abscess that was either drained or deemed too small for drainage. For UTI, children must meet guideline-specified diagnostic criteria.
You may not be if
We will exclude any patients who live independently (without a parent or guardian in the home), including those in county or state custody. We will exclude patients who previously enrolled (i.e., consented and randomized) in the study. We will exclude patients who are not discharging home from hospital medicine service.
For pneumonia, we will exclude children with a parapneumonic effusion larger than "trace" or "small" (based on radiologist impression), tracheostomy, high intensity neurologic impairment, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, chronic respiratory failure, or received 3 or more doses of azithromycin. For SSTI, we will exclude children with surgical site infections, cellulitis around a medical device, bone or joint infections, infectious myositis or pyomyositis, implanted hardware or other deep infections, have concomitant HSV, significant chronic dermatologic conditions other than eczema, or pre-septal or orbital cellulitis. Dental abscess without overlying facial cellulitis will also be excluded. We will exclude those discharged from the hospital with a drain in place. However, any abscess at the skin would qualify even if it is drained by a subspecialist, unless it connects with an internal cavity. For UTI, we will exclude children with major genitourinary anomalies, high-grade vesicoureteral reflux, history of urologic surgery other than circumcision, indwelling urinary catheters, need for regular intermittent catheterization, or current renal abscess.
