Oral versus intravenous empirical antibiotics in children and adolescents with uncomplicated bone and joint infections: a nationwide, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial in Denmark.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explored whether starting treatment for bone and joint infections (BJIs) in children with oral antibiotics is as effective and safe as beginning with intravenous (IV) antibiotics, which are often more expensive and burdensome.
- - Conducted in Denmark from September 2020 to June 2023, the trial involved children aged 3 months to 17 years and compared high-dose oral antibiotics (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or dicloxacillin) to IV ceftriaxone, with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure appropriate patient selection.
- - The main goal was to assess any lasting complications in mobility or function after six months, determining that if the risk difference in negative outcomes between the two treatment methods
Background: Treatment of displaced distal forearm fractures in children has traditionally been closed reduction and pin fixation, although they might heal and remodel without surgery with no functional impairment. No randomized controlled trials have been published comparing the patient-reported functional outcome following non-surgical or surgical treatment of displaced paediatric distal forearm fractures.
Methods: A multicentre non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.
The osseous acetabular index (OAI) and cartilaginous acetabular index (CAI) is often used in diagnosing acetabular dysplasia (AD) in children. We examined the reliability of OAI and CAI in AD diagnostics and compared OAI measurements obtained from radiographs versus MRI. Four raters performed retrospective repeated measurements of the OAI and CAI on pelvic radiographs and MRI scans of 16 consecutive patients (mean age 5 years (2-8)) examined for borderline AD during a period of 2½ years.
