title: [Prospective study of the prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents in a reception medical service of a university hospital. Influence of the prescriptor].
abstract: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are estimated to be excessively prescribed. We have prospectively collected all drug prescriptions written by 50 doctors in an Outpatient Service, during a 5-day period. The purpose of this study was to draw the outline of NSAID prescriptors. Junior doctors (66%) wrote more controversial NSAID prescriptions (66%) than other doctors.
