Although asthma management guidelines in New Zealand do not advise prescribing antibiotics, almost a quarter of asthma consultations result in a prescription for antibiotics. This study, as part of a repeat audit of asthma care at an after-hours medical centre, describes general practitioners' perspectives on prescribing antibiotics to patients presenting with asthma. The results show that GPs have tended to overestimate the risk of bacterial infection in such patients.
尽管新西兰的哮喘管理指南不建议开具抗生素处方,但近四分之一的哮喘会诊最终都开具了抗生素。作为对一家非工作时间医疗中心哮喘护理的重复审计的一部分,本研究描述了全科医生对于给哮喘患者开具抗生素的看法。结果显示,全科医生往往高估了此类患者发生细菌感染的风险。
