Reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescription through implementation of a clinical guideline on self-limiting respiratory tract infections

Xavier Sanchez et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the impact of implementing clinical guidelines on the rate of antibiotic prescription in upper respiratory tract infection cases in an emergency department in Quito, Ecuador. The results showed that the implementation of clinical guidelines significantly reduced the rate of antibiotic prescription and increased appropriate antibiotic prescription rates, with the effects persisting over time. Early implementation of the guidelines showed more remarkable results compared to later stages. The emphasis in healthcare should shift towards strategy implementation rather than just guideline development.
