Context
Since several years, « evidence-based medicine » or medicine based on current evidence, is significantly growing in general practice. However, do the francophone guidelines include all pathologies encountered in general practice in France?
Objective
We have established an inventory of the overall francophone guidelines relating to health problems in general practice care in France.
Methods
SFMG is the author of the Dictionary of Consultation Results (CR), which includes 272 RCs covering 98% of health problems in GP care in France. For each Consultation Result thirteen members of the SFMG have researched the corresponding guidelines on French sites (institutions, scientific societies). The research was accomplished using CR headings and equivalent keywords in MeSh. Consultation Results in DReFC (a free monthly updated downloadable document on SFMG’s site) lists the references of the guidelines. We used epidemiological data from the General Practice Observatory of the SFMG to grasp the respective magnitude of each health problem under GP care within clinical activities where no guidelines are available.
