[Innovations in ambulatory care].
During 2008, we selected 8 studies of interest. It seems important to continue to treat high tension for old patients. To give a good medication against pain, to maintain activity and to reassure patient is the treatment for acute back pain; surgery for spinal stenosis has better results than other treatments at two years of evolution. Pregabalin seems to provide clinically benefit to patients with fibromyalgia. Helicobacter pylori test and treat has the same results than proton pomp inhibitor in initial management of dyspepsia; extending triple therapy beyond 7 days is unlikely to be a clinical useful strategy. Syphilis testing algorithms using treponemal tests for initial screening could be inversed. Finally, selective reporting of clinical trials results for antidepressant are relatively frequent.
