malaria, acute febrile illness
MALARIA, SYNDROMES
The study goal was to assess the impact of the intervention compared with standard-of-care practices on antibiotic prescribing and clinical outcomes for outpatients presenting with nonsevere acute febrile illness. Primary endpoints were the proportion of patients who received an antibiotic prescription and the proportion who had a favorable clinical outcome (defined at day 7 as having a normal body temperature and reporting that day 0 symptoms had improved or resolved). Prespecified subgroup analyses of the primary endpoints were conducted for age, gender, and enrollment period. Other subgroup analyses such as malaria rapid diagnostic test (mRDT) result and respiratory syndromes were exploratory.
