Health problems of people with intellectual disabilities in general practice: dynamic cohort study between 2012 and 2021 with Dutch routine care data
The health problems and prescription patterns of people with ID in general practice remain distinct from those without ID but largely mirror findings from two decades ago. These patterns still fit well within the scope of general practice, yet underscore the continuing need for GPs to recognise these differences and adapt their care to address the specific needs of their patients with ID.
