Low-value chronic prescription of acid reducing medication among Dutch general practitioners: impact of a patient education intervention

CONCLUSION: Our educational intervention did not result in a change in the low-value chronic prescription of ARM; approximately half of the patients of the intervention and control still received low-value chronic ARM prescriptions. The absence of effect might be explained by selection bias of participating practices, awareness on the topic of chronic AMR prescriptions and the relative low proportion of low-value chronic ARM prescribing in the intervention as well as the control group compared to an assessment conducted two years prior.TRIAL REGISTRATION: 10/31/2023 NCT06108817.PMID:38575887 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02351-2
