Rapid diagnosis of respiratory viral infections in children resulted in significantly reduced hospital stays, antibiotic use, and laboratory utilization compared with those of a matched group of patients from the previous year who were diagnosed by virus culture. We demonstrate that rapid diagnosis of respiratory infections in children is a cost-effective procedure.
与上一年通过病毒培养诊断的匹配患者组相比,儿童呼吸道病毒感染的快速诊断显著缩短了住院时间、减少了抗生素使用和实验室检测的使用。我们证明,儿童呼吸道感染的快速诊断是一种具有成本效益的方法。
