To characterize the use and delivery of cough and cold medicines in children younger than 6 presenting to an inner-city pediatric emergency department (PED) following 2007 FDA warnings.
A cross-sectional observational study was performed using a convenience sampling of PED patients during the fall of 2010. Caregivers were presented with 6 commonly used cough medicine preparations and were asked to demonstrate if and how they would administer these to their children.
In all, 65 patients and their caregivers consented and participated in the study. During the demonstration, 82% (53/65) stated that they would treat with cough or cold medicines, and 72% (38/53) incorrectly dosed the medication they desired to give.
Despite current recommendations, cough and cold medicines are still used in children younger than 6 years of age. A significant portion of caregivers report that they are still unaware of public warnings, potential side effects, and interactions with other medications.
描述2007年美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）发出警告后，前往市中心儿科急诊科（PED）就诊的6岁以下儿童使用和服用止咳和感冒药的情况。
2010年秋季，采用便利抽样法对PED患者进行横断面观察性研究。向看护者展示6种常用的止咳药制剂，并询问他们是否会以及如何给孩子服用这些药物。
共有65名患者及其看护者同意并参与了研究。在演示过程中，82%（53/65）的人表示他们会给孩子服用止咳或感冒药，72%（38/53）的人对他们想要服用的药物剂量使用错误。
尽管有当前的建议，但6岁以下儿童仍在使用止咳和感冒药。很大一部分看护者报告称，他们仍然不知道公众警告、潜在副作用以及与其他药物的相互作用。
