Abstract
Background The CREAM Study aimed to address the uncertainty around the effect of using antibiotics to treat clinically infected eczema on subjective eczema severity in children in primary care. Children were identified by GP practices and referred to the CREAM Study. A software package (Trial Torrent) that sits on primary care electronic medical record systems and can deliver pop-up reminders and templates to aid recruitment, was used within the study.
