Summary
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to understand whether we can successfully conduct a larger definitive clinical trial in the future. The current pilot study will test various aspects of the larger trial and help us improve its design if needed. The investigators are mainly interested in knowing whether they can (1) recruit enough patients, (2) administer the intervention, and (3) collect all the data needed from patients. The definitive randomized controlled trial will assess if dexamethasone is superior to placebo for treating children and youth hospitalized with orbital cellulitis.
