CAP-IT Study

You can read the full paper here: Bielicki JA, Stöhr W, Barratt S, et al. Effect of Amoxicillin Dose and Treatment Duration on the Need for Antibiotic Re-treatment in Children With Community-Acquired Pneumonia. JAMA. 2021;326(17):1713-1724. doi:10.1001/jama.2021.17843

Results from the CAP-IT study on children with CAP have been published in JAMA. CAP-IT found that a shorter duration of treatment of 3 days of amoxicillin was as good as a longer duration of 7 days in terms of children not needing further antibiotic treatment within 4 weeks.
