Burden of selected chronic non-communicable diseases in a primary healthcare setting in Nuuk, Greenland, compared to a Danish suburb
CONCLUSION: In contrast to the disease pattern observed in Greenland in the last century, the prevalence of diagnosed NCDs in Nuuk is no longer rare. Thus, the overall prevalence of NCDs in the population of Nuuk is now comparable to or even higher than in the suburb in Denmark. This calls for increased focus on all NCDs in the primary healthcare system in Greenland and adaption of the primary healthcare services to a changed disease spectrum.PMID:38578458 | DOI:10.1080/02813432.2024.2334746 (Source: Primary Care)

The prevalence, incidence and management of low back pain with radiating leg pain in Dutch general practice: A population ‐based cohort study in the Rijnmond Primary Care Database
ConclusionLBP with radiating leg pain is common in Dutch general practice patients. About 2/3rd were prescribed pain medications. Dutch request few to none diagnostic imaging for these patients which is in line with clinical practice guidelines.SignificanceIn this new study, we have gained insights into the incidence and prevalence of LBP with radiating leg pain in Dutch general practice. Both remained fairly stable over the study period of 9 years (2013–2021). Overall, the care burden regarding seeking contact with the GPs and the requested diagnostics seem not to be that high. In 62% of the care episodes, there were...

Transforming health care delivery: The role of primary health care nurses in rural and remote Australia
CONCLUSION: Despite growing evidence for the effectiveness of nurse-led models of care, significant policy and financial barriers continue to inhibit PHC nurses working to their full scope of practice. If their potential to transform health care and increase access to health services is to be realised these barriers must be addressed.PMID:38572893 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13120 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)

Improving access to general practice for and with people with severe and multiple disadvantage: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: The co-designed strategies described in this study could be adapted locally and evaluated in other areas. Investing in this focused way of working may improve accessibility to health care, health equity, and staff wellbeing.PMID:38575183 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0244 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Supporting healthcare professionals to address child weight with parents: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: A range of barriers exist to HCPs addressing child excess weight with parents in primary care and community settings. Actions to effect structural changes and support HCPs in developing relevant knowledge and skills are required to overcome these barriers.PMID:38575182 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0238 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Acceptability of magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer diagnosis with patients and GPs: a qualitative interview study
CONCLUSION: Prostate MRI appears to be acceptable to patients. Some differences were found between patients in London and Devon, mainly around burden of testing and opportunity costs. Further exploration of GPs' knowledge and understanding of prostate MRI could inform future initiatives to widen access to diagnostic testing in primary care.PMID:38575181 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0083 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

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-...
