Here we report a national survey conducted in a group of 4,389 children to assess the impact of selected behavioral and environmental factors on antibiotic therapy in patients with URTIs. We found that selected environmental factors influenced the type of treatment. The place of residence, having siblings, an absence of vaccinations, the presence of allergies, and attendance at educational institutions were conducive to antibiotic therapy. These factors also influenced the frequency of hospitalization of children and their absence from nurseries, kindergartens, and schools, as well as the absence of their guardians from work.Katarzyna ŚlęzakŁukasz DembińskiArtur KonefałMikołaj DąbrowskiArtur MazurMałgorzata Peregud-PogorzelskaPaweł WawrykowDorota KonefałJarosław Peregud-PogorzelskiFrontiers Media S.A.articleantibiotic therapyeducationinfectious diseasespediatric primary carevaccinationPediatricsRJ1-570ENFrontiers in Pediatrics, Vol 9 (2021)
