Sustainability of Interventions to Increase Guideline-Concordant Durations of Antibiotic Therapy for Children with Acute Otitis Media.

ABSTRACT: Two low-cost pragmatic interventions (change in the options in the electronic health record; change in the electronic health record plus education plus feedback comparing prescribing with peers) to improve prescribing of guideline-concordant short antibiotic durations for children 2 years and older with uncomplicated acute otitis media were highly effective and results were sustained 18 months after discontinuation of the active components of the interventions.
