Official title

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Biofire Film Array Gastrointestinal Panel Compared to Usual Care for Evaluation of Acute Infectious Diarrhea in the Emergency Department

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This research study will test a laboratory test called Film-Array Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel. This GI Panel is a test that can identify the bacteria or viruses that may cause diarrhea. This test will enable the ED doctor to better understand the cause of diarrhea to try to determine the best treatment. The primary objective of this study is to determine if testing ED patients who complain of diarrhea will lead to more optimal use of antibiotics. Optimal use of antibiotics is defined as the most appropriate antibiotic to treat a specified pathogen.
