Aims: Several countries struggle with general practitioner (GP) burnout, recruitment and retention. The reasons are not well understood. The aim of this study was to predict the tenure of young GPs in the GP scheme and detect important predictors for remaining or leaving.
Methods: Using data from Norwegian registries, LASSO Cox regression models were applied to identify variables, including the personal attributes, appointment details, patient profiles and workload indicators of GPs that predicted GP tenure among GPs under 40 years who joined the Norwegian GP scheme between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2018. GPs were followed until leaving the scheme or until 31 December 2020.
Results: We followed a total of 2038 GPs aged under 40 years old at recruitment. Of these, 499 (24.5%) resigned by 31 December 2020. The most important predictors for remaining in the GP scheme throughout the follow-up period were (a) having a high activity-based income and (b) being a specialist in general medicine. The most important predictors for leaving the GP scheme were (a) working more than 50 days per year in the emergency room and (b) working in less central areas.

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions with significant negative health outcomes, high mortality rates, and comorbid mental health conditions. Despite many available interventions for eating disorders, treatment remains challenging due to the difficulty in maintaining treatment gains. Understanding effective treatment processes is crucial.

Introduction: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is suggested as a precursor of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) later in life. This hypothesis is based on shared risk factors for both diseases, such as deviating alignment parameters. In patients with PFOA, certain 2D alignment parameters and 3D shape variations are associated with the progression of PFOA.

Background: Home parenteral support (PS) is the standard treatment for chronic intestinal failure (CIF) with short bowel syndrome (SBS) as the leading cause. However, outcomes of PS in older patients remain poorly studied.
Methods: This retrospective observational study evaluated patients newly diagnosed with SBS-CIF initiating PS between 2015 and 2020 at a national French CIF referral center.

Background: In emergency medicine, triage decisions are critical for ensuring patient safety and optimizing resource usage. Such decisions involve a complex interplay of rational and analytical thinking, combined with an intuitive and humanistic approach. However, the influence of cognitive biases on triage decisions remains poorly understood.
