Abstract Background The importance of Small Area Variation Analysis for policy-making contrasts with the scarcity work on validity statistics used in these studies. Our study aims at 1) determining whether variation utilization rates between health areas is higher than would be expected by chance, 2) estimating statistical power statistics; and 3) evaluating ability different to compare variability among procedures regardless their rates. Methods Parametric bootstrap techniques were derive...
Excessive use of antibiotics is worldwide the most important reason for development antimicrobial resistance. As antibiotic resistance may spread across borders, high prevalence countries serve as a source bacterial with low prevalence. Therefore, an issue potential serious impact on all countries. Initiatives have been taken to improve quality prescribing in primary care, but only few studies designed determine effectiveness multifaceted strategies different practice setting. The aim this...

Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics is considered to be the most important reason for development bacterial resistance antibiotics. As antibiotic may spread across borders, high prevalence countries serve as a source with low prevalence. Therefore, an issue potential serious impact on all countries. The majority respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are treated in general practice. Most caused by virus therefore unlikely have any clinical benefit. Several intervention initiatives...
