Article Synopsis
- The study examined how telehealth use for pediatric primary care surged due to COVID-19, focusing on antibiotic management for acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs).
- Over 8,300 ARTI visits were analyzed from April to September 2020, finding that 36% were conducted via telemedicine, which had a 92.5% adherence rate to clinical guidelines compared to 90.7% for in-person visits.
- The findings emphasized that with effective antibiotic stewardship, pediatricians provided consistent and guideline-aligned care for ARTIs through telehealth, especially as diagnoses for certain infections decreased over time.
