Otitis Media Clinical Trial
Official title:
Broad Implementation of Outpatient Stewardship (BIOS) Project
Reducing inappropriate antibiotic use is a key strategy to mitigate antibiotic resistance and adverse health effects associated with antibiotic exposure. The Broad Implementation of Outpatient Stewardship (BIOS) project focuses on broadly implementing an evidence-based intervention to improve antibiotic prescribing for acute respiratory tract infections in pediatric outpatient settings. Primary aims include: (1) examining the acceptability, feasibility and utility of a focused implementation strategy on improving intervention adoption and impact and (2) measuring the effectiveness of the intervention to reduce unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic prescription.
Antibiotics are commonly prescribed for acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) in pediatric outpatient settings, but up to half of antibiotic use is inappropriate. Prior work demonstrated broad-spectrum antibiotics did not improve patient health outcomes compared to narrow-spectrum antibiotics, but did increase harmful side effects. Overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics can exacerbate antibiotic resistance and drug-related adverse events. Certain interventions have been effective in improving antibiotic prescribing, but none have been implemented widely. The BIOS project focuses on broadly implementing an evidence-based intervention to improve how clinicians in outpatient settings prescribe antibiotics for ARTIs in children 6 months to 12 years old. The intervention consists of educational modules and prescribing audit and feedback reports delivered to clinicians in a variety of outpatient settings across 5 health systems. Primary aims include: (1) examining the acceptability, feasibility and utility of a focused implementation strategy on improving intervention adoption and impact and (2) measuring the effectiveness of the intervention to reduce unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic prescription. Clinicians will be randomized to one of two arms: an early intervention arm or a delayed intervention (control) arm. The study will use a 4-period design, where the periods are as follows: Period 0: Baseline period that occurs prior to randomization Period 1: clinicians in the early intervention arm receive the intervention Period 2: All clinicians (both arms) receive the intervention Period 3: Maintenance period, external support from the study team is removed ;
