What is Procalcitonin Use Trends in Bronchiolitis about?

This study analyzed procalcitonin (PCT) testing trends in bronchiolitis patients across 38 hospitals from 2016 to 2022, revealing a 14-fold increase in PCT use (from 0.2% to 2.8%). Despite the rise in testing, there was no significant association with reduced antibiotic prescriptions or changes in admission rates. The findings highlight the need for further research to evaluate the diagnostic value of PCT in bronchiolitis management.
