Impact of quality clusters on antibiotic prescribing patterns. A difference-in-differences study from Danish general practice
In 2018, quality clusters were introduced in Danish general practice. • In clusters, general practitioners engage in quality improvement topics. • Engaging in antibiotics increased the proportion of narrow spectrum antibiotics. • Engaging in antibiotics did not impact the total number of antibiotics prescribed. • Choice and number of quality improvement strategies seemingly did not matter. Globally, a more rational use of antibiotics is needed to…
Coping in the Danish general population
Objective To enable measurement of coping in the general Danish population the aims of this study are to 1) describe the translation and cultural adaption of the Danish Brief Approach/Avoidance Coping Questionnaire (BACQ) and 2) investigate the psychometric properties of the Danish BACQ.Design The BACQ was translated and adapted into Danish, and the psychometric properties tested in two samples of adult Danish citizens: Sample A = 167, used for e…
Introducing Point-of-Care PCR technology in general practice
In this paper we present findings from a qualitative ethnographic study investigating the experiences and perceptions of general practitioners and other practice staff when introducing a new point of care diagnostic test technology (point of care polymerase chain reaction (POC PCR)) in general practice in Denmark. The ethnographic study was conducted in five general practice clinics, involving observations in four of the clinics and interviews wi…
Is concern for gynaecological alarm symptoms associated with healthcare-seeking? A Danish population-based cross-sectional study
Concern for a gynaecological alarm symptom and for current health was positively associated with healthcare-seeking. The results can be used for future informational health campaigns targeting individuals at risk of postponing warranted healthcare-seeking
Associations between smoking status and involvement of personal and professional relations among individuals reporting symptoms related to a diagnosis of lung cancer
Women and the oldest age group had higher odds of involving relations, whereas individuals who currently smoked tended to be less likely to contact any personal or professional relations. Involving a personal relation was associated with higher odds of healthcare-seeking. The findings could be useful for GPs in terms of identifying patients at risk of postponing relevant healthcare-seeking with potential lung cancer symptoms
Prescribing antibiotics
The most important factor affecting Danish GPs' decision to prescribe antibiotics at the aggregate level, in subgroups of GPs, and across latent classes was the CRP value. Hence, the use of CRP testing is an important factor to consider in order to promote rational antibiotic use in the battle against antimicrobial resistance
Identification of Important Factors Affecting Use of Digital Individualised Coaching and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in General Practice
Most type 2 diabetes patients are treated in general practice and there is a need of developing and implementing efficient lifestyle interventions. eHealth interventions have shown to be effective in promoting a healthy lifestyle. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility, including the identification of factors of importance, when offering digital lifestyle coaching to type 2 diabetes patients in general practice. We conducted a qual…
Involvement of personal and professional relations among men bothered by lower urinary tract symptoms
Background Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common among men worldwide and despite frequently of benign origin, the symptoms often influence quality of life. Most men experiencing LUTS manage their symptoms in private settings without consulting their general practitioner (GP). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify who in the personal and professional relations Danish men discussed their bothersome LUTS with, to analyse fact…
Tuberculosis screening in patients with HIV
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis screening of people living with HIV (PLHIV) can contribute to early tuberculosis diagnosis and improved patient outcomes. Evidence-based guidelines for tuberculosis screening are available, but literature assessing their implementation and the quality of clinical practice is scarce. OBJECTIVES: To assess tuberculosis screening practices and the effectiveness of audit and performance feedback to improve quality of tubercul…
Self-reported symptoms and healthcare seeking in the general population -exploring “The Symptom Iceberg”
Prevalence of symptoms and GP contacts are common in this overview of 44 different self-reported symptoms. For almost 2/3 of the reported symptoms no gender differences were found concerning the proportion leading to GP contacts. An enhanced understanding of healthcare seeking decisions may assist healthcare professionals in identifying patients who are at risk of postponing contact to the GP and may help development of health campaigns targeting…
Determinants for acceptance of preventive treatment against heart disease – a web-based population survey
In accordance with our pre-study hypothesis, individuals with low income were more sensitive to price than individuals with high income. Thus, if the price of preventive medication increases above certain limits, a substantial proportion of the population may refrain from treatment. More than half of the respondents who were initially willing to accept treatment changed their decision when informed about the presence of potential side effects. Th…
Influence of socioeconomic and demographic status on spirometry testing in patients initiating medication targeting obstructive lung disease
Social inequity in spirometry testing among patients initiating medication targeting obstructive lung disease was confirmed in this study. Increased focus on spirometry testing among elderly men living alone, among the unemployed and among women with higher education is required when initiating medication
Associations between reporting of cancer alarm symptoms and socioeconomic and demographic determinants
Socioeconomic and demographic determinants are associated with self-reporting of common cancer alarm symptoms
