C-Reactive Protein Testing to Guide Antibiotic Prescribing for COPD Exacerbations
2019
Overview
In this randomized trial, C-reactive protein testing was used as a point-of-care aid in determining whether antibiotic therapy was warranted in patients with an acute exacerbation of COPD. Among 653 outpatients, there was significantly less use of antibiotics with CRP guidance, with no evidence of any worse outcome.
