Management of influenza-like illness by homoeopathic and allopathic general practitioners in France during the 2009-2010 influenza season

This study was done to determine characteristics and management of patients in France visiting allopathic general practitioners and homoeopathic general practitioners for influenza-like illness (ILI). This was a prospective observational study, which was conducted in metropolitan France during the 2009-2010 influenza season. There were sixty-five homoeopathic general practitioners and 124 allopathic general practitioners who had recruited a total of 461 patients with ILI. Patients were treated for ILI by their general practitioners. General practitioners and patients completed questionnaires recording demographic characteristics and patient symptoms when patients were included in the study. Patients reported satisfaction with treatment on day 4. Prescriptions were recorded by the general practitioners. Outcome measures were patient characteristics, demographics, and symptoms at baseline; medications prescribed by type of physician; and satisfaction with treatment by type of physician and medication.
 
According to the results, most allopathic general practitioners (86%), and most patients visiting them (58%) were men; whereas most homoeopathic general practitioners (57%; p<0 .0001="" 37.1="" 59.6="" accepted="" after="" allopathic="" and="" appearance="" are="" at="" between="" but="" chills="" common="" conclude="" congestion="" cough="" did="" differ="" discharge="" does="" enrollment="" even="" expectorants="" for="" france="" frequently="" general="" have="" headaches="" highest="" homoeopathic="" homoeopathy="" ili.="" in="" is="" it="" joint="" later="" lead="" least="" medication.="" medication="" medications="" more="" most="" muscle="" nasal="" not="" of="" one="" only.="" only="" or="" other="" p="0.002)" pain="" patient="" patients.="" patients="" practitioners.="" practitioners="" preclude="" prescribed="" researchers="" results="" satisfaction="" satisfied="" seen="" self-treated="" shivering="" sooner="" span="" suppressants="" symptoms="" than="" that="" the="" their="" them="" these="" they="" to="" treated="" treatment="" use="" visiting="" was="" were="" widely="" with="" women.="">
