| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To examine and compare the prescribing unit and a new prescribing index adjusting for age and sex in assessing general practice prescribing. DESIGN: Analysis of all prescriptions issued by two practices in one year. Use of data to derive a prescribing index adjusting for age and sex. Comparison of effect of prescribing unit and new index on relation between 80 practices' prescribing data and family health services authority average. SETTING: Newcastle and Gateshead Family Health Services Authorities. Two urban practices with eight doctors and combined list size of 16,300 patients. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cost and number of prescriptions issued to each age and sex group. Effect of index on relation between practice data and family health services authority average. RESULTS: The number of items prescribed and total costs rose with age. Although total costs were greater for women than for men, individual items cost more for men aged 25-84. Comparison of data adjusted by the prescribing unit and the new index with authority averages produced no significant differences except in a few practices with skewed age-sex demography. Results with the two indexes differed by over 5% in 34% (27/80) of practices for costs and in 14% (11/80) for items prescribed. CONCLUSIONS: The age and sex profile of a practice does not explain interpractice variation in prescribing patterns. Other unidentified factors need to be considered. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
