Traditionally, paediatric osteoarticular infections have been treated with prolonged intravenous antibiotics; however, evidence suggests that shorter intravenous therapy followed by oral narrow-spectrum antibiotics is effective. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of an ASP on the treatment of acute haematogenous bone and joint infections (AH-BJI) in children.We performed a single-centre quasi-experimental study comparing antibiotic use in paediatric [0\u201318\u00a0years] inpatients with AH-BJI before (2015\u20132016 period 1 [P1]) and after (2017-june 2023 period 2 [P2]) the implementation of a multifaceted hospital ASP with post-prescription review with feedback as the primary strategy. ASP also promoted a first-line empiric antibiotics change in the local protocol in June 2020.\u00a0The study describes and compares the demographic and clinical characteristics among patients who were recruited prospectively during their hospital admission or in outpatient clinics. The primary outcomes were the length of antibiotic therapy, length of hospital stay, sequelae, readmission and fatality rates.\u00a0Two-hundred-eighty-five patients were included (60 in P1 and 225 in P2). The length of parenteral antibiotic treatment and the length of hospital stay were significantly lower in P2 (median [IQR] days, P1: 8.5[7.0\u201312.0] vs P2: 7[4.5\u20138.0],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001; and P1: 8.5[7.0\u201311.0] vs P2: 7[5.0\u20139.0],\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001, respectively).
