Trends in low-value GP care during the COVID-19 pandemic: a retrospective cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that both the rate of episodes as well as the rate at which low-value care was provided have generally been affected by the COVID-19 restrictions. Furthermore, it shows that the magnitude of the impact of the restrictions varies depending on the type of low-value care. This indicates that deimplementation of low-value care requires tailored (multiple) interventions and may not be achieved through a single disruption or intervention alone.PMID:38418951 | PMC:PMC10900726 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02306-7
