{"title":"Exploring plastic and reconstructive surgery referral pathways: Insights from primary care physicians in Bahrain.","authors":"Abdulla A Fakhro, Ali M Humood, Yusuf Althawadi","doi":"10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_384_26","DOIUrl":"10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_384_26","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Primary care physicians (PCPs) serve as the frontline of healthcare systems worldwide, acting as gatekeepers for specialist referrals. However, the absence of clear referral guidelines and complete guidance can lead to inappropriate referrals, defined as referrals that are either clinically unnecessary (e.g., referring a simple sebaceous cyst that is manageable in primary care) or misdirected to the wrong specialty (e.g., referring a hand tendon injury to orthopedics instead of plastic surgery). Such referrals overburden specialized clinics and delay care for patients who genuinely require specialist intervention. This is the first study in Bahrain to explore PCPs' perceptions and referral patterns to plastic surgery clinics.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional survey was conducted among PCPs who actively refer patients to plastic surgery (N = 97 eligible) within all five primary health care centers in the Muharraq governorate. Participants completed a validated 14-item questionnaire. Data were examined using descriptive statistics.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Seventy-four PCPs participated (response rate: 76.3%). Nearly one-third (31.1%) reported that no specific referral criteria existed at their health center. A substantial proportion (39.2%) relied on personal clinical judgment to determine which patients to refer. This refers to subjective assessments based on individual experience and intuition rather than evidence-based protocols. The majority (67.6%) acknowledged plastic surgery as an important specialty that is able to transform lives, while a minority perceived it as primarily cosmetic. Over half (54.1%) identified the lack of clear referral criteria as their principal challenge. Most PCPs supported standardizing referral criteria (62.2% agreed or strongly agreed) and providing additional training (66.3% agreed or strongly agreed).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>PCP referral practices to plastic surgery lack standardized guidelines and frequently rely on personal judgment, which may contribute to inappropriate referrals, higher healthcare costs, and inefficient resource allocation. These findings, while derived from a single governorate in Bahrain, reflect challenges common to healthcare systems with similar primary-to-secondary care structures. Applying standardized referral algorithms and targeted PCP education could strengthen patient care, improve healthcare efficiency, and optimize resource utilization.</p>","PeriodicalId":15856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care","volume":"15 5","pages":"2076-2081"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13387656/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148549284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While effective for cardiovascular protection, antihypertensive drugs can cause under-recognized cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs). This review summarizes CADRs associated with antihypertensive medications, including pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and prevention. A narrative review of PubMed (January 2001-August 2025) was conducted to identify studies on CADRs linked to antihypertensive therapy, and observational studies, case reports, case series, and clinical trials were included. CADRs arise through immunologic (Types I-IV hypersensitivity, most often Type IV) and non-immunologic mechanisms. Clinical presentations range from mild eruptions (maculopapular rash, photosensitivity, urticaria) to severe reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Symptoms usually occur within weeks of initiation, though delayed reactions are possible. Diagnosis relies on detailed medication history, examination, and, in selected cases, histopathology, and resolution after drug withdrawal is a key diagnostic clue. Management involves discontinuing the offending agent, supportive care, and pharmacological interventions (e.g. corticosteroids, antihistamines). Preventive strategies include avoidance of reexposure, substitution with safer alternatives, and strict photoprotection. Antihypertensive medications can cause diverse CADRs with variable severity and clinical impact, and early recognition and prompt management are essential to minimize morbidity. Prospective studies with standardized definitions and pharmacogenomic approaches are needed to improve risk prediction and guide safer, individualized prescribing.</p>","PeriodicalId":15856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care","volume":"15 5","pages":"1904-1910"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13387704/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148549239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
