[Study of prescriptions issued in base health areas of the Primary Care Administration of Sabadell].

OBJECTIVES
To quantify and describe Primary Care (PC) prescription originated by specialists, doctors outside the public health system and users.


DESIGN
A descriptive, crossover study.


SETTING
Eight base health areas in Primary Care, Sabadell, Barcelona.


PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS
The medical prescriptions issued by 96 Primary Care doctors during a month. The information on the treatments begun during the study period were analysed.


MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS
34,319 drugs products were prescribed for new conditions. 64.9% of these originated with the Primary Care doctor, 31.9% in specialist or private care, and 3.2% were requested by the user. The main diagnostic groups associated with prescriptions originating elsewhere were acute respiratory pathology, followed by Rheumatism not affecting the joints, anxiety and depression.


CONCLUSIONS
In our milieu, a high percentage of prescriptions originate outside Primary Care. This study has identified the distribution of this prescription originating elsewhere and the variability, both in amount and origin, of PC prescriptions. It could also serve as a useful point of reference for other similar contexts.
