Community-acquired pneumonia and positive urinary antigen tests: Factors associated with targeted antibiotic therapy.
The use of rapid microbiological tests is supported by antimicrobial stewardship policies. Targeted antibiotic therapy (TAT) for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with positive urinary antigen test (UAT) has been associated with a favorable impact on outcome. We aimed to determine the factors associated with TAT prescription. ⋯ TAT in CAP with positive UAT was related to the hospitals as well as to patient characteristics.
