Le repérage des patients en situation de précarité par les médecins généralistes
Cette étude se propose d’étudier la concordance entre un repérage de la précarité effectué spontanément par les médecins généralistes et un repérage effectué par le score EPICES (évaluation de la précarité et des inégalités de santé dans les centres d’examens de santé), développé et validé dans les centres d’examens de santé.Les 32 médecins généralistes ont permis d’inclure 207 patients dans l’étude. Le coefficient de concordance Kappa de Cohen était de 0,404, soit une corrélation faible à modérée.L’étude des variables associées à la concordance de ce repérage n’a permis de dégager aucune variable significativement associée à la concordance après une analyse multivariée.Pour conclure, le re…
