    General practitioners (GPs) vary in the information they collect for dyspepsia management. Faster consulting GPs needed less data, with individual doctor

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Clinical Decision-Making
    • General Practice Research

    Background:

    • Dyspepsia is a common condition presenting in primary care.
    • Effective management relies on accurate information gathering by general practitioners (GPs).
    • Understanding GP information needs is crucial for optimizing diagnostic and treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the quantity and type of information 20 GPs required for simulated dyspepsia consultations.
    • To investigate factors influencing information collection, including consultation speed and doctor experience.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulated patient consultations for dyspepsia were used.
    • Information collected by 20 general practitioners was quantified and categorized.

  • Statistical analysis, including two-way ANOVA, was performed to identify influencing factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Information required ranged from 23 to 128 items (median 66).
    • Faster consulting GPs required significantly less information (P<0.01).
    • Doctor-specific factors were a more significant influence than case complexity (P<0.05).
    • No correlation was found between professional experience and information collected, contradicting previous research.

    Conclusions:

    • Individual GP characteristics significantly impact information gathering in dyspepsia management.
    • Consultation efficiency, not professional experience, correlated with information needs in this study.
    • Further research is needed to explain the discrepancy regarding professional experience and information collection patterns.
