Smart alerts aim to curb antibiotic overuse in Kids' lung infections
NCT ID NCT06788093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether computer-based decision support tools can help doctors reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in children with lower respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, bronchiolitis, and asthma flare-ups. Most of these infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria, so antibiotics often do more harm than good. The trial will enroll 2,800 children across three U.S. hospitals to see if these tools safely cut down on antibiotic use.
