Trial Design
Trial Design A multicentre, randomised controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial, comparing parenteral antibiotics with oral antibiotics for the management of suspected UTI in low risk infants. Study Aim To assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-consequence of early oral antibiotics in infants presenting to hospital with suspected UTI who appear well and are at low risk of complications. Study Objectives:
1. To determine if the clinical effectiveness of oral
antibiotics pending urine culture results is non-inferior to parenteral antibiotics pending urine
culture results in terms of treatment failure (i.e. the
requirement for additional parenteral antibiotics)
and a range of secondary outcomes.2. To evaluate the impact of oral antibiotics on healthcare resource use, costs and selected outcomes via a cost-consequence analysis.
