Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze if there are differences between men and women in the frequency of ignoring Do not do recommendations in primary care setting.

Detailed description

First, using the Delphi technique, a consensus will be reached on those Do Not Do recommendations that should be included in the retrospective analysis study. The selection criteria for these recommendations will be if they are about pharmacological treatments, considered to persist in clinical practice in primary care, their relationship with factors associated with sex and gender, and if ignoring the Do not do recommendation could cause a serious adverse event. Second, a retrospective cohort study will be carried out including patients who attended primary care consultation in Alicante from 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022. Data source will be the electronic record management system of the autonomous community of Valencia (named ABUCASIS), and they will be provided by the Ambulatory Assistance Information System (SIA-GAIA). Investigators will analyze the frequency of ignoring the Do not do recommendations previously selected by consensus by sex and age range.
