TROD

TROD: Patient with triplex TROD test. Doctors may or may not prescribe antibiotics with the help of the results of triplex TROD tests.

Study summary

Respiratory infections are very common, especially during winter, and are often caused by viruses such as influenza, SARS-CoV-2 or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

These illnesses are generally mild, but their symptoms do not always allow a clear distinction to be made between a viral infection and a bacterial infection. In the absence of a precise diagnosis, antibiotics may be prescribed when they are not necessary in many cases.

However, the excessive use of antibiotics contributes to the development of bacterial resistance, which is a major public health issue.

The aim of this study is to better understand whether the use of a rapid test (called TROD), which can quickly identify certain respiratory viruses, can help doctors reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions for these infections. The test will be performed using a swab gently inserted into the nose.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 1 year 2. Presenting with: * Either fever (temperature \> 38°C measured by patient or physician) within the past 72 hours, and one of the following symptom combinations: 1. Rhinorrhea (white, yellow, or green discharge) and/or nasal obstruction, and cough 2. Body aches, cough, and fatigue 3. Odynophagia and negative strepto-test 4. Cough 5. Otalgia * Or suspicion of lower respiratory tract infection: signs of infection (respiratory rate \> 20/min, heart rate \> 100/min, fatigue, Body aches, chills, or fever), associated with pulmonary localization signs \[cough, sputum, chest pain, auscultatory abnormality (rhonchi, crackles, or wheezing)\] 3. Affiliation with the national health insurance system 4. Informed consent obtained from the adult participant, or from the person(s) with parental authority for a minor participant Exclusion Criteria: 1. Requirement for hospitalization 2. Presence of a non-respiratory infection requiring concomitant antibiotic treatment. 3. Patients covered by State Medical Aid (AME)

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Variation in the probability of antibiotic prescription between adjacent periods differing in the use of tests TROD — Day 0 to Day 14
    Variation in antibiotic prescription rate between 1st periods during which doctors prescribe antibiotics probabilistically without rapid diagnostic tests (TROD) as usual, followed by 2nd periods during which antibiotic prescription is guided by the results of triple TROD (SARS-CoV-2/influenza/RSV). The primary endpoint will take into account all antibiotic prescriptions received by patients within 15 days of inclusion, whether they were prescribed at the end of the consultation that led to inclusion or during follow-up consultations.
