Impact of C-reactive Protein Micromethod Testing in Primary Care on Antibiotics Delivery in Patients With Upper or Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

antibiotics prescriptions in other unit of measure

defined daily doses delivered per 1000 patients in both groups (doctors with or whitout TROD)

Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Factors influencing the modulation of antibiotic dispensing

factors may be influence the modulation of antibiotic dispensing: * age of physician in year (age group or average age) * physician gender, qualitative data (number of male gender or number of femal gender) * practitioner training supervisor or not, qualitative date "yes" or "not" * physician geographical location, qualitative data (rural or urban) * type of exercice, qualitative data (medical center or single exercice) * seasonal effect, comparison of various parameters according to the winter or summer period * volume of patients followed by years (number of patients treated by the general practitioner by year) * type of patients followed : number of patients with or without long-term illness followed by the GP, age (years) of patients followed by the GP, gender of patients (in number or percentage) followed by the GP

Time frame: baseline and one year

Evolution of antibiotic dispensing in the daily delivered dose in both GP's groups (doctors with and without TROD)

temporal variability in the daily delivered dose of antibiotics prescriptions in both GP's groups (doctors with and without TROD)

Time frame: baseline and 3 months, baseline and 6 months, baseline and 1 year, between winter and summer period
