Infants were eligible if they were: (a) <60 days of age; (b) visited 1 of 35 EDs that contribute data to the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) between 2009–2014; and (c) were assigned a primary ICD-9 code for SSTI (eg, cellulitis, abscess, mastitis) or a secondary diagnosis of SSTI and a primary diagnosis of fever, IBI, urinary tract infection (UTI), or anal fistula. Infants with complex chronic conditions were excluded. Demographics as well as... You do not currently have access to this content.
