Detailed Description:
The study was a practical, cluster-randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of CRP and SAA point-of-care testing (CRP\&SAA POCT) on antibiotic prescribing in patients with acute respiratory-tract infections (ARI) at primary care facilities in rural China. The study includes two arms, in which CRP\&SAA POCT will be provided in 20 village clinics in the intervention arm. Additional physician training on the use of CRP\&SAA POCT (including centralized training, distribution of physician training manuals, and desk reminders) and patient education sheets (to help patients understand the help of CRP\&SAA POCT in guiding their care) will also be provided；The control arm will not receive any intervention and will serve as the control (usual care). The primary outcome is the proportion of patients who are diagnosed with ARIs and prescribed antibiotics during their initial visit (defined as no prescription record at the current institution within the preceding 14 days) in both study arms.
