A decision aid to rule out pneumonia and reduce unnecessary prescriptions of antibiotics in primary care patients with cough and fever
I'm surprised this paper does not refer to research by Jochen W. L. Cals et al. He and his colleagues have written extensively on the use of C-reactive protein tests to reduce antibiotic prescriptions. See PMIDs: 20666881, 20212299, 19416992, 19330269, 17394651, etc.
