Although one out of three general practitioners (GPs) carries out spirometry, the diagnostic interpretation of spirometric test results appears to be a common barrier for GPs towards its routine application.
Multivariate cross-sectional analysis of a questionnaire survey among 137 GPs who participated in a spirometry evaluation programme in the Netherlands. We identified characteristics of GPs and their practice settings associated with GPs' need for ongoing support for spirometry interpretation.
Response rate on the survey questionnaire was 98%. The need for ongoing support among the participating GPs was 69%. GPs' recent spirometry training showed a statistically significant association with the need for ongoing support for the interpretation of spirometry (odds ratio 0.43, 95% CI 0.20-0.92).
There is a need for ongoing support for spirometry interpretation among GPs. Recent spirometry training partially diminished this need.
尽管三分之一的全科医生（GP）会进行肺功能测定，但肺功能测试结果的诊断解读似乎是全科医生在常规应用该测试时的一个常见障碍。
对参与荷兰一项肺功能测定评估项目的137名全科医生进行问卷调查的多变量横断面分析。我们确定了与全科医生对肺功能测定解读持续支持需求相关的全科医生及其执业环境的特征。
调查问卷的回复率为98%。参与调查的全科医生中对持续支持的需求为69%。全科医生最近接受的肺功能测定培训与对肺功能测定解读持续支持的需求之间存在统计学上的显著关联（优势比0.43，95%置信区间0.20 - 0.92）。
全科医生在肺功能测定解读方面需要持续支持。最近的肺功能测定培训部分减少了这种需求。
