Abstract

Aim: Acute respiratory infections are one of the diseases in which antibiotics are inappropriately used. Our study aim was to define the efficacy and safety of the rapid antigen detection test in decreasing the inappropriate use of antibiotics in adults. Methods: This was a retrospective study on patients over 15 years of age who came to our clinic because of sore throat from September 2016 to 2017. Data on culture, rapid antigen detection test results, and the prescribed drugs were recorded from their files and were expressed as frequencies. Statistical analyses were performed by the Chi-square test and Student’s t-test, with p

Özet

Amaç: Akut solunum yolu enfeksiyonları, antibiyotiklerin uygunsuz şekilde kullanıldığı hastalıklardan biridir. Çalışmamızın amacı, yetişkinlerde uygun olmayan antibiyotik kullanımını azaltmada hızlı antijen saptama testinin etkinliğini ve güvenilirliğini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma Eylül 2016- 2017 tarihleri arasında kliniğimize boğaz ağrısı nedeniyle gelen 15 yaş üstü hastaların retrospektif olarak tarandığı bir çalışmadır. Kültür, hızlı antijen tespit testi sonuçları ve reçete edilen ilaçlarla ilgili veriler dosyalarından kaydedildi. Gerekli olan istatistiksel analizler yapıldı (Ki-kare testi ve Student's t-testi). p
