Guidance on CRP POC testing and communication to improve antibiotic prescribing in children with acute RTIs
Background
ENASPOC is a multi-disciplinary network geared towards implementing actions that improve antibiotic stewardship in primary care to help fight the issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Over-prescribing of antibiotics in primary care is a significant contributor to rising AMR, and respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major source of inappropriate prescriptions.
C-reactive Protein point of care testing (CRP POCT), and complementary strategies, are tried, tested, and proven to be very effective at reducing antibiotic prescribing without compromising patient safety or satisfaction when properly implemented. Yet mature adoption of CRP POCT in primary care is observed in relatively few European countries, with the Nordics, the Netherlands, and Switzerland leading the way.
