Background And Objectives: Although skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are among the most common indications for pediatric hospitalization, little is known about outpatient care received for SSTI before and after hospitalization. We assessed peri-hospitalization care for SSTI, including antibiotic exposures and their impact on hospital length of stay (LOS).
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 1229 SSTI hospitalizations in 2019 from children aged 1-to-18 years enrolled in Medicaid from 10 US states included in the Merative Marketscan Medicaid database.

Background: Prescribing errors put an enormous burden on health and the economy, claiming implementation of effective methods to prevent/reduce them. Polypharmacy regimens (five or more drugs) are highly prone to unacknowledged prescribing errors, since the complex network of drug-drug interactions, guidelines and contraindications is challenging to be adequately evaluated in the prescription phase, especially if different doctors are involved. Clinical decision support systems aimed at polypharmacy evaluation may be crucial to recognize and correct prescribing errors.
