- W4320492066 abstract "Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in primary care are a promising target for antibiotic stewardship. A clinical trial in Switzerland showed a large decrease in antibiotic prescriptions with procalcitonin guidance (cut-off < 0.25 µg/L) compared with usual care. However, one-third of patients with low procalcitonin at baseline received antibiotics by day 28. Aim: To explore the factors associated with the overruling of initial procalcitonin guidance. Design and Setting: Secondary analysis of a cluster randomized trial in which patients with an LRTI were included. Method: Using the characteristics of patients, their disease, and general practitioners (GPs), we conducted a multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for clustering. Results: Ninety-five out of 301 (32%) patients with low procalcitonin received antibiotics by day 28. Factors associated with an overruling of procalcitonin guidance were: a history of chest pain (adjusted OR [aOR] 1.81, 95% confidence interval 1.03–3.17); a prescription of chest X-ray by the GP (aOR 4.65, 2.32–9.34); a C-reactive protein measured retrospectively above 100 mg/L (aOR 7.48, 2.34–23.93, reference ≤ 20 mg/L); the location of the GP practice in an urban setting (aOR 2.27, 1.18–4.37); and the GP’s number of years of experience (aOR per year 1.05, 1.01–1.09). Conclusions: Overruling of procalcitonin guidance was associated with GPs’ socio-demographic characteristics, pointing to the general behavioral problem of overprescription by physicians. Continuous medical education and communication training might support the successful implementation of procalcitonin point-of-care tests aimed at antibiotic stewardship." @default.
