Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of switching from intravenous to oral antibiotics (amoxicillin) for treating neonates with early-onset infection (EOI) and included data from 835 term-born neonates over two years.
- - Results showed that 90% of neonates with probable infection successfully switched to oral therapy, with no readmissions due to infection and a shorter average hospital stay compared to those on intravenous therapy.
- - Although oral therapy proved safe and beneficial for easing the treatment process, the overall use of antibiotics did not increase after implementing switch therapy.
