At the same time, concerns have been raised about the extent to which virtual care is safe for patients. As of now, there is no validated methodology for evaluating the safety nuances and implications of virtual care.

Background: With a rapidly aging population, general practitioners (GPs) in communities are confronting the challenge of determining those who are at greatest risk for cognitive impairment and potentially need more specialized follow-up and intervention to mitigate symptoms early in their course.

However, most MCI survey questionnaires require heavy investments of manpower and time, which limits the possibility of their application among GPs in communities.

Objectives: High rates of morbidity and mortality are a result of trauma being a significant health burden in Saudi Arabia. We evaluated the current trends of primary healthcare (PHC) physicians in Saudi Arabia toward patients with bleeding and their referral awareness for percutaneous endovascular arterial embolization (EAE).
Methods: We formulated a 13-question survey to assess PHC physicians' knowledge regarding decision-making and appropriate approaches to manage patients with traumatic and non-traumatic abdominopelvic and lower limb bleeding.
