C-reactive protein point-of-care testing and antibiotic prescribing for acute respiratory tract infections in rural primary health centres of North Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study
Yebyo, Henock; Medhanyie, Araya Abrha; Spigt, Marcus; Hopstaken, Rogier (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-14)Unjustified antibiotic prescribing for acute upper respiratory infections (URTIs) is probably more common in poor-resource settings where physicians are scarce. Introducing C-reactive protein (CRP) point-of-care testing in such settings could reduce the misuse of antibiotics, which could avert antibiotic resistance. However, information useful for the applicability of CRP test in resource-limited ... -

The Role of CRP POC Testing in the Fight against Antibiotic Overuse in European Primary Care: Recommendations from a European Expert Panel
Gentile, Ivan; Schiano Moriello, Nicola; Hopstaken, Rogier; Llor, Carl; Melbye, Hasse; Senn, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-15)Tackling antibiotic resistance represents one of the major challenges in modern medicine, and limiting antibiotics’ overuse represents the first step in this fight. Most antibiotics are prescribed in primary care settings, and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are one of the most common indications for their prescription. An expert panel conducted an extensive report on C-reactive protein ...
