Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin based guidelines versus standard of care to reduce duration of antibiotic exposure in patients hospitalized with community acquired pneumonia
Detailed Description: BIO-CAP is a prospective randomized intervention study which aims to evaluate the efficacy of C-reactive protein CRP based guidelines and procalcitonin PCT based guidelines to reduce duration of antibiotic exposure in adult patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia CAP compared to standard-of-care

Hypothesis the duration of antibiotic exposure can be reduced when a biomarker algorithm - in addition to standard of care - is used to stop antibiotic treatment

1 CRP based guidelines can reduce duration of antibiotic exposure equally to procalcitonin based guidelines and 2 Either of these two biomarker algorithms CRP or PCT are superior compared to standard of care

Sample size Preconditions significance level α 5 and power β 80 Test unpaired T-test Mean treatment time 11 days SD 5 in this population Relevant detection limit defined at 2 days The bonferroni correction has been used to correct for the fact that 2 primary analysis will be performed why α 00052 0025 Estimated 100 patient in each arm thus n 300

Site monitoring and auditing The study is monitored by the unit for Good Clinical Practice Bispebjerg Hospital Denmark
