Abstract

Recurrent respiratory infections (RRIs) represent a demanding challenge in pediatricians' clinical practice. A previous Inter-Society Consensus defined criteria for identifying children with RRIs and assessed the available treatments, considering the evidence grade. The present Delphi consensus proposed a series of statements concerning the practical use of Citomix, a multicomponent low-dose medication. The participants should be primary care, private practice, and hospital/university pediatricians with extensive experience using this product to manage children with RRIs. One hundred twelve Italian pediatricians voted for the statements. The agreement grade was high for all statements (ranging from 69.6% to 99.1%). The participants expressed their satisfaction with using this medication, which may represent a valuable and safe option for preventing and adding on treating children with RRIs. These statements reflected their personal opinions based on daily clinical practice. The results of this Delphi consensus represented an input for further evidence-based studies highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose medications for both the prevention and treatment of RRIs.
