Non-P2-Sponsored Projects
Lung Ultrasound for Antibiotic Stewardship in Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Randomized Clinical Trial (LUSCAP trial) - Pneumonia remains a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. This randomized multi-center clinical trial evaluates whether lung POCUS can reduce antibiotic prescriptions compared to standard care in pediatric patients ages 3-10 years.
