The recommendations in the Guideline for the Management of Pediatric Off-Label Use of Drugs are considered highly urgent for implementation in China. Nevertheless, the study revealed challenges in applying all 21 recommendations within clinical practice. The key factors affecting implementation include the position, education, experience, and hospital level of healthcare professionals. It is recommended to facilitate implementing the recommendations by sharing experience across various hospital levels, starting from high-level hospitals and extending to primary healthcare settings. Moreover, adjustments to the professional structure within hospitals are needed to enhance the management of off-label drug use in pediatric patients.
