Clinical impact of rapid molecular detection of respiratory pathogens in patients with acute respiratory infection 2018-09-14 .txt text/plain 4012 202 45 Diagnosis with FilmArray-RP was associated with significant changes in medical management including withholding antibiotic prescriptions (OR:15.52, 95%CI:1.99–120.83 in adults and OR:12.23, 95%CI:1.56–96.09 in children), and reduction in complementary studies in children (OR:9.64, 95%CI:2.13–43.63) compared to IFA. CONCLUSIONS: The high respiratory viruses' detection rate and availability of results within two hours when using FilmArray-RP were associated with decreases in antibiotic prescriptions and complementary studies and more accurate use of oseltamivir. The aim of this study was to determine if timely etiological diagnosis could have an impact on medical management in relation to antibiotic and antiviral prescription, and use of complementary studies, when patients were tested by either FimArray-RP or IFA. This study demonstrated that significant changes in medical management occurred in both children and adults when the results of a multiplex molecular respiratory panel were rapidly available to physicians in the ED compared to patient management using conventional testing (IFA). ./cache/cord-253333-cwunxhyw.txt ./txt/cord-253333-cwunxhyw.txt
