Obravnava bolnikov z benigno hiperplazijo prostate pri zdravnikih splošne medicine = General practitioner's approach to patients with benign prostatic hyperplasiaKert, Suzana, 1966-Background. Due to growing prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) author of this article wanted to establish how general practitioners (GPs) treat patients with this disease. I was ... interested in differences in discovering treating and referring to urologists among physicians considering their active years, education (specialist/non-specialist) and type of practice(private practice/physician in a health care centre - non private) physicians. The assumption was that procedures of GPs deviate from recommendedprofessional guidelines. Methods. As a pattern of the survey 140 physicians in general practice, who work in the areas of the two biggest Slovenian cities of Ljubljana and Maribor and their environs, were chosen. An anonymous questionnaire with ten questions was sent to them. Results. In the final analysis data from 76 (54%) correctly completed polls were included. Physicians have estimated that in the population of their patients 61 4.9% (median S%) have BPH. 47.4% of physicians treat the newly diagnosed patients with symptoms of this disease themselves while 42.7% of physicians immediatelyrefer such patients to urologists. As far as the recommended diagnostic procedures for estimating BPHsymptoms are concerned, 51.3% of physicians use a questionnaire, 47.4% of physicians use digital rectal examination and 40.8% determine the serum creatinine level. Among the optionaldiagnostic procedures PSA is determined by 63.2% of physicians and 50%order postvoid residual urine by ultrasound. Statistics show that non private physicians decide to determine serum creatinine level (p < 0.01) and PSA (p < 0.01) significantly more often than private physicians. 68.5% of physicians are familiar with the international questionnaire AUA symptom index/IPSS used as diagnostic tool.
