초록

목적: 소아에서 요로감염은 높은 질병부담을 갖는다. 본 연구의 목적은 합병증이 없고 균혈증이 없는 소아 요로감염에서 단기 항생제 요법이 기존의 표준치료 방법과 비교해 비열등한지 평가하고자 한다. 방법: PubMed, Embase 및 Cochrane 데이터베이스에서 2021년 4월까지 출간된 연구에 대한 신속 체계적 문헌고찰(Rapid Systematic Review)을 시행했다. 비교군으로는 소아 요로감염 환자를 대상으로 단기 항생제 치료(≤4일)를 한 군과 표준 항생제 치료(≥5-7일)를 한 군 간의 임상결과를 비교한 연구를 선정하였다. 결과: 신속 체계적 문헌고찰 결과, 단기 치료 방법은 표준 치료 방법에 비해 비열등한 치료 효과를 가지며, 임상 완치율 및 재발률이 유사한 것으로 측정되었다. 단기 치료와 표준 치료 방법의 임상적 치료율을 비교한 10개의 연구 모두 유사한 결과를 보고하였다. 신장 합병증을 평가를 한 연구는 단기 치료 방법이 표준 치료 방법과 비교해 비열등하지 않음을 보여주었다. 요로감염 재발에 대해서는 10개 중 8개의 연구에서 단기 치료와 표준 치료 방법 간 결과에 유의미한 차이가 없다고 보고하였다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 결과는 균혈증이 없는 소아 요로감염 환자에서 단기 치료 방법이 표준 치료 방법에 준하는 효과성을 나타났었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 일부 선택된 환자에 대한 치료 의사결정 시 참고할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose a significant disease burden in children. This study aims to determine whether a short-course regimen is non-inferior to a standard-course regimen in children with UTIs without complication and presence of bacteremia, and to define, in the optimal way possible, the term "short-course" in this context. Methods: We conducted a rapid systematic review of research up to April 2021 in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. We included studies that compared clinical outcomes in pediatric UTIs treated with short-course(≤4 days) or standard (≥5-7 days) courses. Results: Our analysis suggests that short-course regimes have equivalent efficacy to standard-course regimens, with similar clinical cure rates and recurrence rates. All 10 studies comparing the clinical cure rates of short- and standard-course regimens reported comparable outcomes. The study evaluating renal scarring indicated no inferiority of short-course regimens compared to standard-course ones. Regarding UTI relapse, 8 out of 10 studies reported no significant difference in outcomes between short- and standard-course regimens. Conclusions: Our results purpose that short-course UTI regimens of 6 days or less are just as effective as standard-term regimens of 7 days or more in terms of infection cure and prevention of recurrence. Considering the equivalent rates of clinical cure and relapse between short- and standard-course regimens, it could be inferred that short-course regimens might be a more optimal strategy for managing pediatric UTIs without increasing the risk of complications.
