Among OECD countries in 2023, South Korea had the highest rate of yearly visits to a doctor per capita. On average, South Koreans visited the doctors 15.7 times per year in person. Health care utilization is an important indicator of the success of a country’s health care system. There are many factors that affect health care utilization including healthcare structure and the supply of health care providers. OECD health systems Healthcare systems globally include a variety of tools for accessing healthcare, including private insurance based systems, like in the U.S., and universal systems, like in the U.K. Health systems have varying costs among the OECD countries. Worldwide, Europe has the highest expenditures for health as a proportion of the GDP. Among all OECD countries, The United States had the one of the highest share of government spending on health care. Recent estimates of current per capita health expenditures showed the United States also had, by far, the highest per capita spending on health worldwide. Supply of health providers Globally, the country with the highest physician density is Cuba, although most other countries with high number of physicians to population was found in Europe. The number of graduates of medicine impacts the number of available physicians in countries. Among OECD countries, Latvia had the highest rate of graduates of medicine, which was almost twice the rate of the OECD average.

Introduction

Male and Female Doctors Statistics: Doctors play an essential role in the medical industry. Male and female doctors play critical roles in providing different healthcare services in medicine.

Historically, men have significantly dominated the medical profession. However, there has been a considerable growth in the number of female doctors over the years, as more women seek professions in medicine.

The distribution of male and female doctors across different specializations and geographic locations can vary significantly.

Key factors such as personal preferences, cultural norms, work-life balance considerations, etc., may influence the choices made by male and female doctors regarding their work environment as well as location.

This study analyzed the views of physicians towards coordination of clinical management between different levels of care. This was a cross-sectional quantitative study using data from a survey of 182 physicians in primary healthcare (PHC) and specialized care in Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil, in 2017. The results revealed significant differences in the physicians’ experience. Considering referrals, the majority (81.32%) felt that PHC physicians referred patients to specialized care when necessary, and the proportion was higher in PHC physicians themselves (92.73%). As for agreement, two-thirds of PHC physicians (67.27%) reported that they agreed with the treatment prescribed by the specialist, while only 33.86% of the specialists agreed with the PHC physician. Concerning clinical responsibility, 89.09% of PHC physicians reported that they were clinically responsible for the patient, compared to only 43.31% of the specialists. As for recommendations, most of the interviewees (63.19%) felt that the specialists did not issue recommendations, and this proportion was higher among PHC physicians (81.82%). For waiting time, the majority (82.42%) felt that patients waited too long for appointments in specialized care, and the proportion was higher among PHC physicians (98.18%) than among specialists (75.59%). Only 16.36% of PHC physicians felt that waiting time was too long in PHC, compared to 38.58% of the medical specialists. The study’s results are consistent with similar studies and highlight the need to strengthen coordination between levels of care to achieve effective integration in healthcare networks.

The number of male physicians outnumbers female physicians in the U.S. in most specialties. The only major exceptions are found in pediatrics, child and adolescent psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, although female physicians do slightly outnumber males in a few other specialties. As of 2021, there were around 68,400 male family medicine/general practice physicians compared to 50,000 women in this specialty. Physicians in the U.S. Both the number of doctors and rate of doctors in the U.S. have increased over the years. As of 2021, there were around 946,800 active doctors of medicine in the U.S. This was around 29.9 physicians per 10,000 civilian population. In 1995, this rate stood at 24.2 physicians per 10,000 population. Physicians by state The states with the highest overall number of active physicians are California, New York, Texas, and Florida. However, the states with the highest rate of physicians per 10,000 civilian population include Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Maryland. The District of Columbia has the highest rate of physicians by a large margin, with around 74.6 physicians per 10,000 population. The state with the highest annual compensation for physicians is Oklahoma, where physicians earn an annual average of 337,000 dollars.

This study aims to quantify unmet treatment needs, disease burden and healthcare resource utilization among patients with PD within different Hoehn and Yahr stage groups in the US. Materials & methods: Data were drawn from the Adelphi Parkinson’s Disease Specific Programme™, a cross-sectional survey of physicians and their patients in the US from September 2021 to April 2022. Patients were staged as early (Hoehn and Yahr stage 1–2), intermediate (stage 2.5–3) or severe (stage 4–5) PD. Analyses compared PD stages, focusing on the intermediate group. Results: Ninety five physicians provided data for 1251 patients; 47.4%, 40.4%, and 12.2% were early-, intermediate-, and severe-stage PD, respectively. Mean age was 65.1, 71.8, and 77.8 years and mean time since diagnosis was 2.5, 5.1, and 7.7 years (p < 0.001) across early, intermediate, and severe groups, respectively. The mean number of products used in current regimen was 1.1 for early, 1.9 for intermediate and 2.4 for severe groups. The intermediate versus early group had a significantly greater proportion of patients with unmet treatment needs (p < 0.001), e.g., slowing disease progression, providing neuroprotection. Incidence rate ratios were increased for the intermediate versus early group for number (in previous 12 months) of healthcare professionals involved in patients’ PD management (incidence rate ratios 1.1), healthcare professional consultations (1.4), emergency room visits (3.8) and rehabilitation admissions (6.8). Patientreported quality of life was significantly poorer in the intermediate versus early group. Conclusion: This real-world analysis found significant increases in disease burden and healthcare resource utilization for patients with intermediate versus early PD. More effective intervention of patients at intermediate-stage PD may improve symptom control and decrease the PD burden for patients and the healthcare system.
