Primary

Measure	Time frame
- Incidence of gastrointestinal infections in the general practitioner population and the general population per 1.000 person-years - Prevalence per bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogen in persons visiting the general practitioner with a gastrointestinal infection, and the general population - Risk factors for gastrointestinal infections, as well as pathogen-specific risk factors, in the general practitioner population and the general population - Factors, such as severity of symptoms, that differentiate between persons for which diagnostic testing is requested by the general pracittioner and those for which diagnostics is not requested	—
