OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this study was to analyze French general practitioners' (GP) online prescriptions for suspected acute cystitis using a single nationwide teleconsultation platform.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: First, a descriptive study of management for suspected cystitis was conducted from the 1st of January to the 31st of December 2020. After which, following pedagogical intervention, a pre/post descriptive analysis of the antibiotics prescribed was carried out.
RESULTS: Some 496,041 teleconsultations (TCs) were carried out in 2020 on the Qare platform. Among them, 15,089 TCs for cystitis with ICD-10 encoding (N30) were analyzed. Fosfomycin trometamol was the most prescribed antibiotic (n = 10297, 69%), while fluoroquinolones (n = 1568, 10.6%) were the second. Urine test strip was prescribed in 3157 (20%) and urine culture in 7033 (47%) of the TCs. July-August 2020 and July-August 2021 were compared and while a significant drop in fluoroquinolone prescriptions and a major increase in Fosfomycin trometamol were observed, there was no change in the prescriptions of urine culture. An average antibiotic conformity rate of 61.5% was observed before the intervention, and 68.8% afterwards.
CONCLUSIONS: Cystitis is a recurrent reason for remote consultation. The study demonstrated sizable over-prescription of urine culture, ultrasound, and fluoroquinolones. Intervention should be improved and strengthened to guarantee continuous training and awareness of GP's on appropriate cystitis prescriptions in telemedicine.
