The article discusses research which evaluated trends in antibiotic dispensations and treatment of acute sinusitis between 2003 to 2020 using the MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database. The study assessed the impact of the Infectious Diseases society of America's guidelines on antibiotic selection and prescribing practices. Results revealed changes in the proportion of children dispensed with amoxicillin, azithromycin, cefdinir and amoxicillin-clavulanate.
