A research project funded by NICHD to study antibiotic regimens for treating UTIs during pregnancy, focusing on effectiveness, safety, and outcomes to improve clinical guidelines and maternal-neonatal health.
Description
This study aims to evaluate the utilization, effectiveness, and safety of commonly-used antibiotic regimens in pregnant women treated for outpatient urinary tract infections (UTIs), using real-world data from national databases and regional healthcare systems. The goal is to inform clinical decision-making, reduce suboptimal antibiotic prescribing, prevent adverse events, improve perinatal outcomes, and minimize antibiotic resistance.
