Article Synopsis
- Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are common and lead to unnecessary antibiotic use; this study examines a new method to accurately diagnose bacterial pneumonia using clinical scores, lung ultrasound, and a biomarker called procalcitonin (PCT).*
-
- The PLUS-IS-LESS study, conducted in 10 emergency departments in Switzerland, will test the effectiveness of the PLUS algorithm, which combines various diagnostic tools, against standard care to see if it reduces antibiotic prescriptions while keeping patients safe.*
-
- By optimizing antibiotic prescribing through reliable diagnostics and ensuring safety, the PLUS algorithm aims to enhance treatment outcomes and gather data on factors like quality of life, hospital stays, and cost-effectiveness in LRTI cases.*
