Post-Dated Versus Voluntary Delayed Antibiotic Prescriptions for Acute Respiratory Infections in Primary Care: A Randomized Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating A delayed prescription dated 2 days after clinical office visit and Usual Dated for Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infections. Completed, enrolled 149 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Delayed prescriptions have been shown to lower antibiotic use for upper respiratory tract infections (which are mostly viral). This trial will test the hypothesis that if the clinician post-dates the delayed prescription by 2 days, rather than dating it on the day the patient is seen, there will be a further drop in the rate of antibiotic use.
