Using the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) classification of disease, the patient problems encountered in six family practice offices were classified. The top 20 diagnoses are identified, collectively and individually, and compared with the top 20 diagnoses encountered in a similar, but larger study done in Virginia. The present study includes a regional practice profile based on the disease categories of Royal College of General Practitioners, which was compared with the distribution of problems in the Virginia data. This study confirms the Virginia information on the most frequently encountered problems. Collectively, southeastern Louisiana profiles show fewer respiratory problems and more circulatory problems than the Virginia study. Individually, each practice has a distinct enough profile to warrant consideration of individual practice profiles at the time of re-certification examination or planning of continuing education programs.
使用皇家全科医师学院（RCGP）的疾病分类方法，对六个家庭诊所遇到的患者问题进行了分类。确定了前20种诊断，包括总体和个体情况，并与弗吉尼亚州进行的一项类似但规模更大的研究中遇到的前20种诊断进行了比较。本研究包括基于皇家全科医师学院疾病类别的区域实践概况，并与弗吉尼亚州数据中的问题分布进行了比较。这项研究证实了弗吉尼亚州关于最常遇到问题的信息。总体而言，路易斯安那州东南部的概况显示，与弗吉尼亚州的研究相比，呼吸问题较少，循环问题较多。就个体而言，每个诊所都有足够独特的概况，在重新认证考试或继续教育项目规划时值得考虑个体诊所概况。
