Zusammenfassung:There were 36 805 encounters where at least one chronic problem was managed in 2006-2007, at a rate of 51.8 chronic problems per 100 encounters. Nationally, this equates to over 40 million general practice encounters at which chronic problems were managed in Australia. For males, at least one chronic problem was managed at 40.7% of encounters. There was no significant difference in the proportion of encounters that involved management of chronic problems between males (40.7%) and females (38.7%). (author abstract)
