Abstract

To prioritize non-recommended clinical activities in Primary Care (PC), from "Do not do" recommendations listed by the Sociedad Española de Medicina de Familia y Comunitaria (Semfyc), according to expert consensus (physicians, nurses and pharmacists). The consensus for the prioritization of non-recommended practices in PC was performed through an online procedure. We used as a base the list of "do not-do" recommendations of the SEMFYC. We asked the experts to prioritize practices that should be de-adopted in PC, based on four prioritization criteria: frequency of occurrence, cost of the activity, ease of disposal and damage caused, which were scored from one to five, according to their recommendation. Scores were summarized in median and quartile values. Two rounds were necessary to obtain a consensus. A modified e-Delphi technique was used. 34 experts (62%) participated in the first consultation round and prioritized 19 recommendations with a score = 3.5. These recommendations were again analyzed in a second round, in which 32 panelists agreed to prioritize 17 practices (13 related to prescription, three diagnostic tests, and one clinical analysis). The high priority list included seven practices with values = 4: 1) Prescription of a new drug in elderly patients without having reviewed the previous treatments; 2) Lipid-lowering drugs without calculating the overall cardiovascular risk; 3) Not systematically prescribing gastric protection with proton pump inhibitors to patients consuming Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); 4) Glucose self-analysis in non-insulinized type 2 diabetics; 5) Benzodiazepines in the long term; 6) Bisphosphonates in patients with low risk of fracture; and 7) Antibiotics in lower respiratory tract infections. This study provides information for the prioritization of 17 non-AP activities in which short-term de-adoption would significantly increase the efficiency of the public health system.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 January 2018.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra
#193
of 258 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#339,828
of 446,047 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra
#5
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 258 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 446,047 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
