Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of procalcitonin-guided treatment on antibiotic use and outcome in lower respiratory tract infections: cluster-randomised, single-blinded intervention trial
Mirjam Christ-Crain,Daiana Jaccard-Stolz,Roland Bingisser,Mikael Gencay,Peter Huber,Michael Tamm,Beat Müller +6 more
TL;DR: Procalcitonin guidance substantially reduced antibiotic use in lower respiratory tract infections and could have important clinical and financial implications in view of the current overuse of antimicrobial therapy in often self-limiting acute respiratory tract infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Procalcitonin-Based Guidelines vs Standard Guidelines on Antibiotic Use in Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: The ProHOSP Randomized Controlled Trial
Philipp Schuetz,Mirjam Christ-Crain,Robert Thomann,Claudine Falconnier,Marcel Wolbers,Isabelle Widmer,Stefanie Neidert,Thomas Fricker,Claudine A. Blum,Ursula Schild,Katharina Regez,Ronald A. Schoenenberger,Christoph Henzen,Thomas Bregenzer,Claus Hoess,Martin Krause,Heiner C. Bucher,Werner Zimmerli,Beat Mueller +18 more
TL;DR: In patients with LRTIs, a strategy of PCT guidance compared with standard guidelines resulted in similar rates of adverse outcomes, as well as lower rates of antibiotic exposure and antibiotic-associated adverse effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Procalcitonin guidance of antibiotic therapy in community-acquired pneumonia: a randomized trial.
Mirjam Christ-Crain,Daiana Stolz,Roland Bingisser,Christian Müller,David Miedinger,Peter Huber,Werner Zimmerli,Stéphan Juergen Harbarth,Michael Tamm,Beat Müller +9 more
TL;DR: Procalcitonin guidance substantially reduces antibiotic use in community-acquired pneumonia and may have important clinical and public health implications.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review included individual patient data from 14 randomised controlled trials with a total of 4211 participants and found no increased risk for all-cause mortality or treatment failure when procalcitonin was used to guide initiation and duration of antibiotic treatment in participants with acute respiratory infections compared to control participants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic Treatment of Exacerbations of COPD: A Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing Procalcitonin-Guidance With Standard Therapy
Daiana Stolz,Mirjam Christ-Crain,Roland Bingisser,Jörg D. Leuppi,David Miedinger,Christian Müller,Peter Huber,Beat Müller,Michael Tamm +8 more
TL;DR: Procalcitonin guidance for exacerbations of COPD offers a sustained advantage over standard therapy in reducing antibiotic use for up to 6 months with a number-needed-to-treat of 3.
