Impact of multiplex molecular assay turn-around-time on antibiotic utilization and clinical management of hospitalized children with acute respiratory tract infections	2018-11-23		.txt	text/plain	2950	150	42	CONCLUSIONS: Rapid molecular testing positively impacts patient management of ARTIs. Adopting assays with a shorter turn-around-time improves decision making by decreasing empirical antibiotic use and duration, decreasing chest x-rays, increasing timely oseltamivir administration, and reducing length of stay. While research has demonstrated that MRPs may have a positive impact on patient outcomes such as decreasing empiric antibiotic exposures, length of hospital stay (LOS), and improving timely oseltamivir treatment for influenza patients [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] , there is a dearth of information on whether this clinical impact is conditional on the turn-around-time (TAT) of the MRP assay. We hypothesized that the rapid detection of respiratory pathogens by RP compared to RVP would be positively associated with changes in antibiotic treatment, initiation of oseltamivir and LOS on pediatric patients < 18 years old.	./cache/cord-259798-fnm1im98.txt	./txt/cord-259798-fnm1im98.txt
