Evaluation of Outpatient Antibiotic Prescribing for Urinary Tract Infection in Pediatric Patients Ages 2 Months to 18 Years.

Objective: To characterize the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infection (UTI) in pediatric patients at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System (UIH), with an emphasis on antibiotic prescribing; in addition, to characterize pediatric uropathogen patterns to help guide future empiric therapy choices.

Methods: We used a retrospective, descriptive study of pediatric patients ages 2 months to ≤18 years seen at the UIH emergency department or clinic from January 1, 2014, to August 31, 2018, with ICD-9 or ICD-10 discharge diagnosis of UTI. Data collected included presenting symptoms, urinalysis, details of antibiotic regimens, urine culture, and susceptibility results.

[Medical space nutrition and obesity, a better management of patients with obesity].

The Medical Network for Nutrition against Obesity (Emno) breaks new ground in the treatment of obesity through a project within the legal framework of the so-called "Article 51". The medical and educational support it provides rests on four pillars: a continuum of care via a territorial network, multi-professional cooperation in e-healthcare, the partner-patient and the expert patient. Thanks to its Nuvee online platform for therapeutic patient education, Emno takes advantage of the current digital developments, in the spirit of rigorous medical as well as economic logic.
