  2. ICPC: a new epidemiological tool in the French-speaking countries • Search in Medline database • Key word in Title/abstract: • ‘ICPC’ 130 • ‘ICPC’, and language=‘French’ 2 • ‘CISP’ 2 • Relevant papers retrieved 3 • Personal contacts • In France, Switzerland, and Belgium • Additional papers retrieved 5

  3. Patients calling on doctors on duty (Humbert, Rev Prat Med Gen, 1999) • Design and setting • Cross-sectional study • Community on call service, including 11 GPs from a French semi-rural area, 1992-3 • Most frequent problems diagnosed (n = 979) • Stress (P02/16/74/75/76/77/99-D93) 21.0 % • Minor surgery (S18/54/56) 17.8 % • Digestive disorder (D73/87/88/98/99) 14.9 % • Respiratory disorder (R78/83/96/99) 9.0 %

Patients referred to hospital(Letrilliart, Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol, 2001) • Design and setting • Prospective cohort study • 305 GPs from the French Sentinel system, 1997-9 • 1.5 problems per referral (n=7313) • Abdominal pain (D01) 4.1 % • Trauma (A80) 3.8 % • Heart failure (K77) 3.6 % • Appendicitis (D88) 2.8 %

  7. Reasons for referral (n=7313 patients) 14% 21% 18% 9%

  8. Homeless people in hostel(Le mauff, Rev Prat Med Gen, 2003) • Design and setting • Cross-sectional study • Consultation by 2 GPs in 2 hostels for homeless people in Vendée (France), 2001-2 • 1.9 problems diagnosed per consult.
