      Recommendations based on clinical practice guidelines on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of urinary tract infection in pediatric patients in Colombia. (English)
    • Abstract:
      Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in childhood and one of the most common causes of consultation in the pediatric emergency department. Its incidence ranges between 5% and 10% in children under 2 years old. Objective: To generate recommendations on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI in pediatric patients in Colombia. Methods: 15 questions of clinical interest in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI in pediatric patients were formulated. A systematic review of the literature was carried out to identify the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) available in UTI, in order to use this evidence to answer the proposed questions and articulate the recommendations. Local and international tools were used to select and evaluate the CPGs. Information was retrieved from the selected guidelines, preliminary recommendations were compiled, and final recommendations were approved by expert consensus. Finally, the strength and direction of each recommendation was assessed. Results: A total of 4 CPGs were selected: American Academy of Pediatrics, Spanish Ministry of Health, McTaggart, and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Final recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of UTI are presented in this paper. Conclusions: These recommendations will guide the teams to make clinical decisions regarding health care of pediatric patients with UTI in Colombia. This will help to improve health care and to generate policies for timely diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up in these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Antecedentes: La infección del tracto urinario (ITU) es una enfermedad frecuente en la niñez y una de las causas más comunes de consulta en el servicio de urgencias pediátricas. Su incidencia está entre el 5 y 10 % en menores de 2 años. Objetivo: Generar recomendaciones sobre el diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento de ITU en pacientes pediátricos en Colombia. Métodos: Se formularon 15 preguntas de interés clínico en el diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento de ITU en pacientes pediátricos. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura para identificar las guías de práctica clínica (GPC) disponibles en ITU, con el fin de usar esta evidencia para responder las preguntas planteadas y articular las recomendaciones. Para seleccionar y evaluar las GCP se usaron herramientas locales e internacionales. Se extrajo la información de las guías seleccionadas, se compilaron las recomendaciones preliminares, y se aprobaron las recomendaciones finales mediante consenso de expertos. Finalmente, se evaluó la fuerza y la dirección de cada recomendación. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 4 GCP: American Academy of Pediatrics, Ministerio de Salud de España, McTaggart y National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. En este artículo se presentan las recomendaciones finales para el diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento de ITU. Conclusiones: Estas recomendaciones permitirán orientar a los equipos en la toma de decisiones clínicas respecto a la atención de pacientes pediátricos con ITU en Colombia. Esto contribuirá a mejorar el cuidado y a generar políticas para que haya diagnóstico, tratamiento y seguimiento oportunos en estos pacientes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
