Introduction: Family doctors are the primary care providers for ankle sprains, which are a prevalent condition that they treat with great care. Family physicians' differing management styles and levels of knowledge about established recommendations may have a substantial influence on patient outcomes.
Aims: The current study aimed to assess the level of awareness among family physicians regarding established guidelines for ankle sprain management.
Objectives: To assess knowledge and practice levels in asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AH) and investigate predictors of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) misprescribing among primary health care (PHC) physicians.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 201 PHC physicians from December 2017 to May 2018. A based clinical guidelines for hyperuricemia management from American Professional Organizations, a semi-structured questionnaire was administered to collect demographic and professional data; knowledge and practice levels in management of AH; and barriers to the management of hyperuricemia and gout, with focus of the misprescribing of ULT in AH.
