About the Session
This session will discuss the INDI-UTI trial, which compared individualized vs. standard 10-day antibiotic treatment for febrile UTI in children. While individualized treatment reduced antibiotic use and adverse events, it showed a slightly higher recurrence rate, and non-inferiority was not proven. We will explore the trial’s methodology, findings, and implications for clinical practice and antibiotic stewardship.
Presenters: Dr. Zahra Hoodbhoy and Dr. Laraib Malik
We encourage you to read the article beforehand to fully participate in the session.
