Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To assess requests for microbiological analysis made by Primary Care doctors and to evaluate the quality of the procedure by the indicator: proportion of contaminated urine samples. DESIGN:A retrospective crossover study of requests to the Microbiology Laboratory in the University Hospital of Salamanca during 1995. SETTING:The study covered the Salamanca Health Area, which consists of 35 Health Centres and a catchment population of 358,408. PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS:The requests for microbiological diagnosis and results of the 43,317 samples processed were analysed. INTERVENTIONS:The data was distributed according to care level and the Area's Health Centres. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS:9,574 (22%) of the total number of samples received turned out positive, 27.4% of the requests originated in Primary Care (PC). The overall request rate from PC was 33 per 1,000 inhabitants. CONCLUSIONS:The microbiological analysis most frequently requested from PC is urine culture. Relationship between request and positives is 4 to 1.
