Knowing when not to do something. Archimedes January 2025

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians. Today, with a bonus interview with Mr Josh Totty, NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Plastic Surgery:

Prep for an LP, stat! We previously talked in an Archimedes about the really low chance of meningitis in UTI in infants [https://adc.bmj.com/content/96/6/602.2] but what about those infants with actual bacteraemia and a UTI - are they the group at higher risk who need invasive investigation? Listen on or read here to find out https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/1/79.1 

You’ll be glad to hear that the PICO is taken to task as well this month too https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/1/79.2 

We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes]. Just ask the questions that your patients are offering you - and tell us how you’re finding the podcast offerings.
