| Impact statement: This protocol establishes a rigorous framework for a systematic review to identify the most effective antimicrobial therapies and their adverse effects for children with UTIs in low- and middle-income countries. By synthesizing evidence from randomized controlled trials, the resulting study aims to create standardised antibiotic usage guidelines, mitigate the global threat of antibiotic resistance, and reduce long-term morbidity such as progressive renal disease in vulnerable paediatric populations. | Collaboration: Other | Keywords: Children, Pediatrics, LMICs, Developing countries, Antibiotics, Antimicrobial therapies, Urinary tract infection, UTI, Acute c |
