Our objectives for this investigation were: (i) to design quality measures of outpatient antibiotic use that could be calculated at the individual general practitioner (GP) level using reimbursement data only; and (ii) to analyse the variability in antibiotic prescriptions between GPs regarding these measures in south-eastern France. Based on...

The purpose of this investigation was to adapt to an individual physician level and to the paediatric context a set of drug-specific indicators of outpatient antibiotic use developed by the European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC) project, and to describe the differences in antibiotic prescriptions between general practitioners...

Quality indicators assessing the use of antibiotics among general practitioners (GPs) would be useful to target antibiotic stewardship interventions. We adapted to an individual GP level a set of 12 drug-specific quality indicators of outpatient antibiotic use in Europe developed by the European surveillance of antimicrobial consumption...

In this investigation, we wanted: (i) to describe the attitudes and declared practices of a representative sample of French general practitioners (GPs) regarding rapid antigen diagnostic tests (RADTs) for acute pharyngitis and (ii) to identify the GPs' characteristics associated with the use of an RADT in the last paediatric patient with...

OBJECTIVES: We tested the following hypotheses: (1) risk-averse general practitioners (GPs) might use more Rapid Antigen Diagnostic Tests (RADTs) in tonsillitis in children, probably to decrease their diagnostic uncertainty regarding the aetiology of the disease (viral vs due to group A Streptococcus); and (2) GPs not using RADT might prescribe...

Dans le cadre du premier appel à projet « Flash-COVID-19 » de l'Agence nationale de la recherche, nous avons mobilisé des méthodes récentes de l'économie comportementale afin de mieux comprendre les décisions des individus face à la crise sanitaire due à la pandémie de COVID-19 ( coronavirus disease 2019 ) et d'identifier les paramètres pouvant...

En France, la couverture vaccinale est insuffisante. Les médecins généralistes étant des acteurs essentiels de la politique vaccinale, il est utile de connaître leurs opinions et pratiques à ce sujet. Nous avons interrogé 1431 médecins généralistes français et 98% se déclaraient favorables à la vaccination dans leur pratique quotidienne. Leurs...
