<b>Objectives</b> To quantify the diagnostic accuracy of selected inflammatory markers in addition to symptoms and signs for predicting pneumonia derive a tool. <b>Design</b> Diagnostic study performed between 2007 2010. Participants had their history taken, underwent physical examination measurement C reactive protein (CRP) procalcitonin venous blood on day they first consulted, chest radiography within seven days. <b>Setting</b> Primary care centres 12 European countries....
Pneumonia is often diagnosed and treated empirically. We set out to determine the diagnostic accuracy of clinical judgment based on signs symptoms detect radiographic pneumonia in patients presenting with acute cough primary care. In 2810 European cough, general practitioners (GPs) recorded whether they considered be present (“yes” or “no”) immediately after history physical examination. Chest radiography was performed within 1 week by local radiologists blind other patient characteristics....
C-reactive protein (CRP) is increasingly being included in the diagnostic work-up for community-acquired pneumonia primary care. Its added value beyond signs and symptoms, however, remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis of individual patient data to quantify CRP measurement.We studies accuracy adult outpatients with suspected lower respiratory tract infection. contacted authors eligible inclusion additional as needed. The adding measurement basic signs-and-symptoms prediction model...
Valid clinical predictors of influenza in patients presenting with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) symptoms would provide adequate patient information and reassurance.Assessing the validity an existing diagnostic model (Flu Score) to detect LRTI patients.A European study recruited 1801 adult primary care LRTI-like ≤7 days between October April 2007-2010.History physical examination findings were recorded nasopharyngeal swabs taken. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for A/B was...
There has been an increase in testing of vitamins patients general practice, often based on irrational indications or for non-specific symptoms, causing increasing healthcare expenditures and medicalisation patients. So far, there is little evidence effective strategies to reduce this overtesting practice. Therefore, the aim qualitative study was explore barriers facilitators reducing number (unnecessary) vitamin D B
Background.Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is a common presentation in primary care, but little known about associated patients’ illness perception and related behaviour.
Background. Clinicians and patients are often uncertain about the likely clinical course of community-acquired lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in individual patients. We therefore set out to develop a prediction rule identify at risk prolonged illness those with benign course.
Abstract Aim To compare quality of care provided by nurse practitioners (NP) with general (GP) for children respiratory tract infections (RTI) in the Netherlands. Background Nurse increasingly manage acute conditions practice, opportunities more protocolled care. Studies on NPs’ RTIs are limited to US healthcare system and do not take into account baseline differences illness severity. Design Retrospective observational cohort study. Methods Data were extracted from electronic records 0–6...
