Does Back up/Delayed Prescribing Prevent Complications and Reconsultations?
Can Back up/Delayed Prescribing Prevent Complications and Re-consultations?
In this presentation Paul will be looking at the Descarte cohort, which allows us to see whether antibiotics prevent complications and re-consultations, along with the impact of delayed prescription, compared to an immediate prescription.
The Descarte study of over 13000 patients with acute sore throat showed that back up/delayed antibiotics should be considered as a first choice option for many sore throats when antibiotics are being considered as they prevent complications, reduce re-consultations and are at least as effective as immediate antibiotics.
