CRP και communication skills μειώνουν τη συνταγογράφηση αντιβιοτικών

[πρώτη & καλύτερη]

What is already known on this topic

    Cough due to lower respiratory tract infection is one of the commonest reasons for prescribing antibiotics
    Most such prescriptions in primary care do not benefit patients
    Diagnostic uncertainty and patients’ expectations and concerns are major drivers of unnecessary antibiotic prescribing

What this study adds

    General practitioners’ use of C reactive protein testing (disease focused approach) and training in communication skills (illness focused approach) both resulted in decreased antibiotic prescribing for lower respiratory tract infection in primary care
    Patient recovery and satisfaction with care were not compromised
    The two approaches combined resulted in the greatest reduction in antibiotic prescribing
