Impact of Antibiotic Stewardship on Treatment of Hospitalized Children with Skin and Soft-Tissue Infections
The use of the ASP effectively improved antibiotic prescribing practices, reducing reliance on broad-spectrum antibiotics even during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the value of ongoing stewardship efforts and suggest the need for similar programs in ambulatory settings to further address antibiotic resistance
A Bayesian Sample Size Estimation Procedure Based on a B-Splines Semiparametric Elicitation Method
Sample size estimation is a fundamental element of a clinical trial, and a binomial experiment is the most common situation faced in clinical trial design. A Bayesian method to determine sample size is an alternative solution to a frequentist design, especially for studies conducted on small sample sizes. The Bayesian approach uses the available knowledge, which is translated into a prior distribution, instead of a point estimate, to perform the …
Epidemiology and Trends over Time of Foreign Body Injuries in the Pediatric Emergency Department
This paper presents the epidemiology of foreign body injuries in the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) of Padova (Italy) along with its trends over an eleven-year period based on administrative data. Annual incidence rates (IRs) of PED presentations for foreign body (FB) injuries per 1000 person-years were calculated. Univariable and multivariable generalized linear (GLM) Poisson models were estimated to evaluate the relationship between FB in…
Handling Poor Accrual in Pediatric Trials: A Simulation Study Using a Bayesian Approach
In the conduction of trials, a common situation is related to potential difficulties in recruiting the planned sample size as provided by the study design. A Bayesian analysis of such trials might provide a framework to combine prior evidence with current evidence, and it is an accepted approach by regulatory agencies. However, especially for small trials, the Bayesian inference may be severely conditioned by the prior choices. The Renal Scarring…
