Key Points

  • This research aims to explore tailoring antimicrobials based on community-acquired pneumonia probabilities.
  • Conducted a pragmatic, randomized trial
  • Focused on hospitalized adults with respiratory illness
  • Examined the impact of antimicrobial stewardship on antibiotic use
  • Reduced unnecessary antibiotic use safely
  • Enhanced interpretation of viral infection tests

Abstract

In this proof-of-concept study, antimicrobial stewardship-guided interpretation of laboratory tests for viral infection using a simple template safely decreased unnecessary antibiotic use for hospitalized adults with community-acquired respiratory illness. Clinical Trial Registration. NCT05976581.
