  • Title: Signs, symptoms, and the new descriptors.
    Author: Murrell TG, Moorhead R, Winefield HR, Wurm CS, Coffey G, Clark S.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1991 May; 20(5):593-7. PubMed ID: 1854295.
    Abstract:
    Data from 143 consultations in general practice were assessed by factors relevant to the four-category descriptive system developed by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. It seems that there is no relationship between consultation length, apparent symptom seriousness or the occurrence of a physical examination. Suggestions are offered for improving the clarity of consultation descriptor categories.
