Registered incidence of acute upper respiratory tract infections diagnosed by primary care physicians in Poland - 5-year retrospective analysis of the national health insurance database

It appears that strategies for increasing patient empowerment to provide efficient self-care reducing the utilisation of PHC services are needed.PMID:38549483 | DOI:10.26444/aaem/183993
