Hospital and general practice costs were calculated using average national tariffs. Costs were modelled using a multivariable generalised linear model, estimating the average marginal effect of perfect continuity over non-continuity of care.ResultsIn total, 32 799 people were included. The mean age at death was 86.60 years (standard deviation [SD] 8.04 years), 64.2% (n = 21 057) were female, and 56.6% (n = 18 556) lived in care homes before death. The average COCI score was 0.38 (SD 0.25). People with perfect continuity had on average £2097 (95% confidence interval = 1319 to 2875) lower total costs in the last year than those with non-continuity of care.ConclusionContinuity of care with GPs is associated with lower total costs and might contribute to reduce hospital admissions and costs among people with dementia in their last year of life.]]> 2026-01-30T03:06:19-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0218 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0218 2026-02-01 Research 76 763 e116 e123 763 <![CDATA[Exploring the views of key stakeholders on dementia risk prediction in primary care in areas of socioeconomic deprivation: a qualitative study]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/763/e124.short?rss=1 2026-01-30T03:06:19-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0318 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0318 2026-02-01 Research 76 763 e124 e131 763 <![CDATA[Attitudes to earlier advance care planning: a qualitative interview study in general practice]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/763/e132.short?rss=1 18 years old; registered at a participating practice; living with cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Thematic analysis used a critical realist approach. Participants contributed to a member checking process. This study had NHS ethics approval (23/PR/0078).ResultsIn total, 21 participants were recruited who were aged 61–91 years, eight were men, and 17 participants were living with multimorbidity. Participants discussed three forms of ACP: proactive planning, preparing for change, and discussing the end of life. Participants described early ACP as less distressing. Participants perceived ACP as an ongoing process, with early consultations encouraging discussion of existing preferences and preparing people for future decision making. Participants discussed how ACP could facilitate proactive and person-centred health care. Participants described the importance of normalising ACP.ConclusionThis study suggests that ACP may be well received and could be discussed earlier with adults living with long-term conditions, before onset of advanced illness or severe frailty.]]> 2026-01-30T03:06:19-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0393 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0393 2026-02-01 Research 76 763 e132 e140 763 <![CDATA[Clinical assessment of recurrent cancer: a Danish cohort study in general practice]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/763/e141.short?rss=1 2026-01-30T03:06:19-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0316 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0316 2026-02-01 Research 76 763 e141 e150 763 <![CDATA[Learning from end-of-life injectable medication patient safety incidents in the community: a mixed-methods analysis]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/763/e151.short?rss=1 2026-01-30T03:06:19-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0106 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0106 2026-02-01 Research 76 763 e151 e162 763 <![CDATA[Evaluating genotype-treatment interactions for high-risk medications in British general practice: a retrospective cohort study using UK Biobank]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/763/e163.short?rss=1 2026-01-30T03:06:19-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0806 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2024.0806 2026-02-01 Research 76 763 e163 e174 763 <![CDATA[Predicting risk of psychosis in primary care: a qualitative study]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/762/e1.short?rss=1 2026-01-27T06:15:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0222 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0222 2026-01-01 Research 76 762 e1 e9 762 <![CDATA[Moving beyond 'duel’ diagnosis]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/762/3.short?rss=1 2026-01-01T16:05:23-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/bjgp26X743829 hwp:resource-id:bjgp;76/762/3 2026-01-01 Editor’s Briefing 76 762 3 3 762 <![CDATA[Young people’s mental health: an NHS primary care perspective, 10 years on]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/762/4.short?rss=1 2026-01-01T16:05:23-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0743 hwp:resource-id:bjgp;76/762/4 2026-01-01 Editorials 76 762 4 6 762 <![CDATA[Should antidepressants be prescribed simply if it is the patient’s preference?

registered at any participating general practice for a minimum of 1 year between 2012 and 2021, were included, and individually matched (1:5) with persons without ID. Patients’ characteristics, encounters, symptoms, diagnoses, and prescribed medication were retrieved.ResultsPatients with ID had 2.2 times more contacts with their GP than patients without ID, presented with a broader range of symptoms and diagnoses across various body systems, and were more frequently prescribed medication. The largest relative difference was seen for depression, which was nearly twice as common in patients with ID compared with those without.ConclusionThe health problems and prescription patterns of people with ID in general practice remain distinct from those without ID but largely mirror findings from two decades ago. These patterns still fit well within the scope of general practice, yet underscore the continuing need for GPs to recognise these differences and adapt their care to address the specific needs of their patients with ID.]]> 2026-01-27T06:15:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0084 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0084 2026-01-01 Research 76 762 e48 e56 762 <![CDATA[Patients’ experiences of a patient-centred polypharmacy medication review intervention: a mixed-methods study]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/762/e57.short?rss=1 2026-01-27T06:15:38-08:00 info:doi/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0052 hwp:master-id:bjgp;BJGP.2025.0052 2026-01-01 Research 76 762 e57 e67 762 <![CDATA[Understanding measurement of postural hypotension: a nationwide survey of general practice in England]]> http://bjgp.org/content/76/762/e68.short?rss=1 1 min.
