From 2009 to 2010, adults had the highest rate of inappropriate antibiotic use for acute respiratory tract infections (URTIs, influenza, and viral pneumonia), with 500 antibiotic prescriptions per 1000 ED visits for adults aged 20-64 years and 666 per 1000 visits for those aged > = 65 years [10] . In this study, we aim to develop prediction models based on local clinical and laboratory data to guide antibiotic prescribing for adult patients with uncomplicated URTI with the ultimate goal of deploying them as an evidencebased clinical decision support tool for routine practice.
