Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess German general practitioners' awareness and use of a guideline focused on preventing overuse and underuse in healthcare, while also exploring their perceptions of medical overuse.
- An online survey involving 626 GPs revealed that 81% were familiar with the guideline, 67% found it helpful, and most preferred more specific "do-not-do" recommendations to reduce unnecessary services.
- While many GPs acknowledged medical overuse as a significant issue, particularly in specialist and inpatient care, they suggested system changes and better guidelines as potential solutions, indicating a need for improved implementation of the current guideline.
Introduction: Guidelines may play an important role in the process of adopting a planetary health perspective in clinical medicine. Current issues relating to the integration of planetary health aspects in guidelines were discussed during a workshop at the German Network for Evidence-Based Medicine conference in 2023.
Methods: In a multidisciplinary workshop, 25 persons with an interest in guideline development selected important planetary health dimensions that could be promptly included in guidelines.
For the purposes of this guideline, a diving accident is defined as an event that is either potentially life-threatening or hazardous to health as a result of a reduction in ambient pressure while diving or in other hyperbaric atmospheres with and without diving equipment. This national consensus-based guideline (development grade S2k) presents the current state of knowledge and recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of diving accident victims. The treatment of a breath-hold diver as well as children and adolescents does not differ in principle.

Methods: The recommendations of the S3 guideline Allergy Prevention, published in its last version in 2014, were revised and consulted on the basis of a current systematic literature search. The evidence search was conducted for the period 06/2013 - 11/2020 in the electronic databases Cochrane and MEDLINE, as well as in the reference lists of current reviews and through references from experts.
