Smarter medicine in pediatrics

pädiatrie schweiz (Swiss Society of Pediatrics) has published recommendations under the title "choosing wisely" on five measures that are usually unnecessary and have potential for adverse effects. All of these "Top 5" concern drug therapy - the benefit-risk ratio for the corresponding use is unfavourable, and therefore it is indicated to forgo treatment. We strongly support these Top 5, congratulate pädiatrie Schweiz for their valuable work and wish them every success in their implementation!
