Scoring:

Proportion

Rationale:

Group A streptococcal (GAS) bacterial infections and other infections that cause pharyngitis (which are most often viral) often produce the same signs and symptoms (Shulman et al., 2012). The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America all recommend a diagnostic test for Strep A to improve diagnostic accuracy and avoid unnecessary antibiotic treatment (Linder et al., 2005).

Estimated economic costs of pediatric streptococcal pharyngitis in the United States range from $224 million to $539 million per year, including indirect costs related to parental work losses. At a higher level, the economic cost of antibiotic resistance varies but has extended as high as $20 billion in excess direct healthcare costs, with additional costs to society for lost productivity as high as $35 billion a year (2008 dollars) (Pfoh et al., 2008).

Clinical recommendation statement:

Infectious Disease Society of America (Shulman et al., 2012)

The Infectious Diseases Society of America "recommends swabbing the throat and testing for GAS pharyngitis by rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and/or culture because the clinical features alone do not reliably discriminate between GAS and viral pharyngitis except when overt viral features like rhinorrhea, cough, oral ulcers, and/or hoarseness are present"

Guidance (Usage): This is an episode of care measure that examines all eligible episodes for the patient. The intent is to determine whether antibiotics are being ordered appropriately. Antibiotics should only be ordered if a strep test has been performed to confirm a bacterial infection. Antibiotics should not be ordered for viral infections. Antibiotics should be ordered on or three days after the episode date. This eCQM is an episode-based measure. An episode is defined as each eligible encounter for patients aged 3 years and older with a diagnosis of pharyngitis that resulted in an antibiotic order from January 1 to December 28 of the measurement period. This FHIR-based measure has been derived from the QDM-based measure: CMS146v13. Please refer to the HL7 QI-Core Implementation Guide (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU4.1.1/) for more information on QI-Core and mapping recommendations from QDM to QI-Core 4.1.1 (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU4.1.1/qdm-to-qicore.html).
Population Criteria: Stratifier Criteria:
661d858a0f0a9077c1d5a56d
Initial Population: Outpatient, telephone, virtual encounter (i.e., e-visit or virtual check-in), or emergency department (ED) visits with a diagnosis of pharyngitis or tonsillitis from January 1 to December 28 of the measurement period and an antibiotic order on or three days after the episode date among patients 3 years or older
Denominator: Equals Initial Population
Denominator Exclusion: Exclude pharyngitis episodes when the patient had hospice care for any part of the measurement period. Exclude pharyngitis episodes when the patient had a comorbid condition during the 12 months prior to or on the episode date. Exclude pharyngitis episodes where the patient is taking antibiotics in the 30 days prior to the episode date. Exclude pharyngitis episodes where the patient had a competing diagnosis on or three days after the episode date.
Numerator: A group A streptococcus test in the seven-day period from three days prior to the episode date through three days after the episode date
Stratum: - 3-17 years
Stratum: - 18-64 years
Stratum: - 65 years and older

    @description: Normalizes a value that is a choice of timing-valued types to an equivalent interval
    @comment: Normalizes a choice type of DateTime, Quanitty, Interval<DateTime>, or Interval<Quantity> types
    to an equivalent interval. This selection of choice types is a superset of the majority of choice types that are used as possible
    representations for timing-valued elements in QICore, allowing this function to be used across any resource.
    The input can be provided as a DateTime, Quantity, Interval<DateTime> or Interval<Quantity>.
    The intent of this function is to provide a clear and concise mechanism to treat single
    elements that have multiple possible representations as intervals so that logic doesn't have to account
    for the variability. More complex calculations (such as medication request period or dispense period
    calculation) need specific guidance and consideration. That guidance may make use of this function, but
    the focus of this function is on single element calculations where the semantics are unambiguous.
    If the input is a DateTime, the result a DateTime Interval beginning and ending on that DateTime.
    If the input is a Quantity, the quantity is expected to be a calendar-duration interpreted as an Age,
    and the result is a DateTime Interval beginning on the Date the patient turned that age and ending immediately before one year later.
    If the input is a DateTime Interval, the result is the input.
    If the input is a Quantity Interval, the quantities are expected to be calendar-durations interpreted as an Age, and the result
    is a DateTime Interval beginning on the date the patient turned the age given as the start of the quantity interval, and ending
    immediately before one year later than the date the patient turned the age given as the end of the quantity interval.
    If the input is a Timing, an error will be thrown indicating that Timing calculations are not implemented. Any other input will reslt in a null DateTime Interval
