[New developments and perspectives in outpatient general internal medicine]

Abstract

Several studies have been published in 2023, in the field of general internal medicine, addressing various aspects of health and covering topics ranging from hormonal treatment of menopause to the management of chronic and acute diseases. A selection of articles was chosen for this update in outpatient general internal medicine, showing recent studies on outpatient care of patients (treatment, follow-up). The summary of articles is supplemented this year by a table of medical recommendations published in 2023, modestly proposed, and covering various areas. These guidelines, most of them from North America, show advances in the care and monitoring of outpatients, and should be interpreted in light of the various recommendations in Switzerland.
