Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: 18 months.
Reporting threshold: 0%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
Children with pneumonia presenting to the emergency department at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt or Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh will be potentially eligible for study. During intervention periods, providers caring for enrolled children will be presented with a detailed decision support strategy that emphasizes management in accordance with national guideline recommendations. The anticipated study duration is 18 months and, as this study does not include direct contact with enrolled subjects, there is no anticipated follow up.
