简要总结
The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to identify the optimal treatment duration with phenoxymethylpenicillin for community-acquired pneumonia diagnosed in general practice.
Eligible participants are adults (≥18 years) presenting in general practice with symptoms of an acute LRTI (i.e., acute illness (≤ 21 days) usually with cough and minimum one other symptom such as dyspnea, sputum production, wheezing, chest discomfort or fever) in whom the GP finds it relevant to treat with antibiotics.
Consenting patients who meet all the eligibility criteria will be randomised (1:1:1:1:1) to either three, four, five, six or seven days of treatment with phenoxymethylpenicillin 1.2 MIE four times daily.

结局指标
主要结局
Treatment failure at day 30
时间窗: From randomisation to day 30
Treatment failure is defined as any hospitalisation OR change in the antibiotic strategy (i.e., prolongation of the duration, change in antibiotic type, new antibiotic prescription) due to symptoms of acute respiratory tract infection - between randomisation and day 30.

- Clinical recovery at day 8(From randomisation to day 8)
- Change in type of antibiotic(From randomisation to day 30)
- Relapse of acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI)(From randomisation to day 30)
- Hospitalisation(From randomisation to day 30)
- Prolonged antibiotic treatment(From randomisation to day 30)
- Reconsultation(From randomisation to day 30)
- New prescriptions within 30 days(From randomisation to day 30)
- Treatment adherence(From randomisation to day 8)
- Mortality(From randomisation to day 30)
- Adverse events(From randomisation to day 30)
