Summary
This completed study analyzed over 230,000 adults in France who had lower respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, bronchitis, or flu. Researchers used anonymous electronic health records from 2015 to 2024 to describe patient characteristics, how often antibiotics were prescribed, and what happened within 30 days. The goal is to improve care and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.

If successful, this research could help doctors better understand how lower respiratory infections are managed and where antibiotic prescribing can be improved.
