  Background and Objective(s): Pain is a health complaint well known to general practitioners (GPs). Pain prevalence is higher in children with cerebral palsy (CP) than in the general paediatric population. We compared the frequency of daytime GP contacts, consultations, and pain as a reason for encounter (RFE), in children with CP and the general paediatric population. Study Design: National registry linkage study. Study Participants & Setting: All children born 1996 to 2012, living in Norway in 2006-2018, registered with a GP contact were included. A cohort of children with CP (cases) was compared to the general population of the same age (controls). Materials/Methods: Two national databases; the Norwegian Directorate of Health’s database for the control and reimbursement of health expenses, and the Norwegian Quality and Surveillance Registry for Cerebral Palsy were linked. All daytime GP contacts during workdays were included, and consultations (physical or virtual meeting with a GP) were analyzed for pain as a RFE in three age groups (0–5, 6–11 and 12–17 years) using codes from the International Classification for Primary Care (ICPC-2). Results: Cases accounted for 0.46% of all daytime contacts, and 0.27% of consultations. The latter corresponded with the estimated national CP prevalence of 2.5 per 1000 (95%CI 2.4–2.7 per 1000). GPs registered more administrative contacts with cases than with controls. GPs coded pain less frequently in consultations with cases than with controls in the three age groups (RR 0.64 [95%CI 0.59–0.69]; 0.41 [0.38–0.43]; 0.53[0.49–0.56]). The risks for codes indicating headache, and abdominal pain, were lower in cases than in controls in all age groups; (RR 0.46 [0.28–0.76]; 0.34 [0.27–0.42]; 0.39 [0.31-0.48])and (RR 0.39 [33–0.46]; 0.31 [0.27–0.35]; 0.62 [0.54–0.72]) respectively. The risk that a consultation included a pain code grouped as “musculoskeletal pain” was lower in cases than in controls in the age groups 6 to 11 years (RR 0.46 [0.43–0.51]) and 12 to 17 years (RR 0.51 [0.47–0.56]), while there was no difference between cases and controls in the age group 0 to 5 years, RR 0.94 (0.84–1.05). In cases, Neurological disease, other (N99), was the only RFE coded in 7,199 (16.6%) of 43,302 consultations. Conclusions/Significance: GPs did not meet children with CP more often than controls, but they did more administrative work for cases than for controls. GPs coded pain as a RFE less frequently in consultations with children with CP than in consultations with controls. The latter could be explained by the tendency to code for the chronic condition (CP) only. Still, the results indicate that in consultations, GPs should ask for pain even if the child with CP or parent does not address pain. Further, the local multidisciplinary team should encourage the family to consult a GP if the child is in pain.

  Fastlegeordningen er basert på kunnskapen om at kontinuitet gir kvalitet, effektivitet og bedre helse. Kontinuitet for alle kan bare oppnås gjennom en fastlegeordning som rekrutterer og stabiliserer fastleger i hele landet. Hva er fastlegen? - Fastlegens kjennskap til pasienten over tid bygger et særegent, persontilpasset fundament for gode kliniske vurderinger. Fastlegen er garantist for individualisert medisin! - Fastlegen håndterer 9 av 10 problemstillinger uten videre henvisning. Spesialisthelsetjenesten vil oversvømmes om ikke fastlegene siler ut hvem som trenger hjelp der. - Fastlegen har medisinsk kompetanse til å ivareta psykisk helse i alt fra vanskelige livshendelser til alvorlig psykisk sykdom. - Fastlegen er bindeleddet mellom alle helseaktørene, og samhandler både på tvers av primærhelsetjenesten og mellom primær- og spesialisthelsetjenesten Gjør kloke valg! Kampanjen «Kloke valg» fremhever at det i mange tilfeller er både trygt og klokt (og billig) både for pasient og helsevesen ikke å foreta ytterligere undersøkelser eller behandling. Et tillitsfullt forhold mellom fastlege og pasient basert på kontinuitet og kjennskap kan bidra til kloke valg. Om private aktører Tilbudet av helprivate helseaktører er økende i Norge. Erfaring fra Sverige har vist at økt bruk av helprivate legetjenester ikke gir avlastning for fastlegene. Selv om man kunne tro at et tilleggstilbud av private tjenester samlet sett ga en bedre helsetjeneste, så er det god evidens for at dette faktisk øker sosial ulikhet. Å styrke primærhelsetjenesten gir mest helsetjenester for pengene Forskning viser at styrking av primærhelsetjenesten er den beste og billigste måten å sikre et best mulig helsevesen for alle innbyggere. Eldrebølgen, tverrfaglighet og multimorbiditet En av fastlegens kjernekompetanser er å håndtere multisyke pasienter. Dette krever kontinuitet, bred medisinsk kunnskap, beslutningskompetanse og fleksible organisatoriske rammer. Diagnosespesifikke team kan ikke ivareta kompleksiteten og helheten. Fastlegen samarbeider bredt med andre fagfolk og har den medisinskfaglige beslutningskompetansen både i teamarbeid og i andre former for samarbeid. Rekruttering og bevaring Rekruttering av nye leger og stabilisering av etablerte fastleger er avgjørende for en velfungerende primærhelsetjeneste. Gode og omfattende allmennmedisinske praksiserfaringer for legestudenter danner grunnlag for valg av karrierevei. Fastleger som kan formidle gode erfaringer fra fastlegejobben til unge kolleger bidrar til rekruttering. Gjennomtenkte ordninger for allmennleger i spesialisering (ALIS) kan gi god spesialistutdanning og samtidig nødvendig avlastning for overarbeidede fastleger. Utdanning Vi har i dag utfordringer med å skaffe praksisplasser til legestudenter ved norske universitet fordi fastlegekontorene mangler kapasitet både på veiledere og kontorlokaler. Rammebetingelser Løsningen på utfordringene i fastlegeordningen er rammebetingelser som tillater kortere pasientlister og færre arbeidstimer uten å frata fastlegene økonomisk trygghet. En kontinuerlig videreutvikling av faget allmennmedisin krever rammebetingelser som gjør at flere leger kan og vil velge kombinasjonen av forskning, undervisning og fastlegevirksomhet.
