The presentation and treatment of Dupuytren’s disease in Dutch general practitioner care
The diagnosis and management of DD in GP care are in line with the current guidelines. Less than half of the DD patients were referred to secondary care during follow-up. This may give room for preventive treatment that limits progression. Future studies should focus on the accuracy of diagnosis and the feasibility of effective treatments in GP care.
