Burden of infections in early life and risk of infections and systemic antibiotics use in childhood

JAMA Network Open

Peer-Reviewed Publication

JAMA Network

About The Study: This longitudinal cohort study suggests that early-life infection burden may continue throughout childhood and is associated with later antibiotic treatments independent of social and environmental risk factors. These findings are important for prognosis and follow-up of children experiencing a high burden of common infections in early life.
