Characteristics of patients who received house call services by a physician, including diagnosis and recommended management plan, including advice for hospitalization were analyzed.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #15479e;\">Results: <\/span><\/h4>\n<p>SOS Doctors in the area of Attica performed 98.009 house calls during the 5 year study period (1\/11\/2000-31\/10\/2005). Patients older than 65 years requested 47,8% of the house calls. Females requested more house calls compared to males (59,4% versus 40,6, p&lt;0,001).<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #15479e;\">Conclusions: <\/span><\/h4>\n<p>9,1% of patients were advised after the evaluation at home to be admitted to a hospital to receive inpatient services. The highest utilization of these emergency services was in patients aged between 75 and 90 years. The majority of diagnosis (18,4%) were infections of upper and lower respiratory tract. SOS Doctors general positive experience suggests that house calls provided by individual practitioners, physician group practices, of organized companies and organizations should regain their well deserved position in the modern health care systems especially for old aged patients and patients with limited or no motility.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #15479e;\">Reference: <\/span><\/h4>\n<p>An analysis of patient house calls in the area of Attica, Greece<br \/>\nGeorge Peppas, M.D.1,2, George Theocharis M.D.1, Efthymia Karveli2, Matthew Falagas M.D.2,3<br \/>\nBMC Health Services Research 2006, 6:112<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Peppas, M.D.1,2, George Theocharis M.D.1, Efthymia Karveli2, Matthew Falagas M.D.2,3. 1.
