Predictors of antibiotic prescription for upper respiratory infections in cancer patients
Almost one-third of outpatients at a single cancer center were prescribed antibiotics for URI with only 16.7% being appropriate. Getting real-time RPP results can be helpful to optimize antibiotic prescribing. Understanding risk factors for antibiotic prescribing in ambulatory cancer patients with URI may better direct antimicrobial stewardship efforts.
