Abstract
We conducted a national survey of pediatric infectious diseases (ID) clinicians on outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) practices and post-discharge ID follow-up. Only 15% of sites required ID consultation for all OPAT. ID division resources for post-discharge care varied. Opportunities exist to increase ID involvement in post-discharge management of serious infections.A national survey of pediatric infectious diseases clinicians on outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy practices found only 15% of sites required ID consultation for all OPAT.
