The adjusted OR for good communication (having a score &gt;35\/52) was 2.54 (1.27 to 5.06). The overall satisfaction and adherence scores did not show significant differences. In contrast, satisfaction with healthcare professionals and timing of medication intake were improved with PILs. The overall satisfaction score improved significantly on per-protocol analysis. When using PILs, doctors prescribed fewer drugs and more examinations (radiology, biology, appointment with a specialist); the need for a new medical consultation for the same pathology was reduced from 32.1% to 17.9% (OR 0.46 [0.27 to 0.77]), particularly revisiting the emergency department.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In emergency departments, PILs given by doctors improve DPC, increase patients\u2019 satisfaction with healthcare professionals, reduce the number of emergency reconsultations for the same pathology and modify the doctor\u2019s behaviour.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Trial registration number<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"NCT02246361\" ext-link-type=\"clintrialgov\" specific-use=\"clinicaltrial results\">NCT02246361<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-024184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,20]],"date-time":"2019-02-20T14:03:44Z","timestamp":1550671424000},"page":"e024184","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Impact of patient information leaflets on doctor\u2013patient communication in the context of acute conditions: a prospective, controlled, before\u2013after study in two French emergency departments"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","clinical-trial-number":[{"clinical-trial-number":"nct02246361","registry":"10.18810\/clinical-trials-gov","type":"results"}],"author":[{"given":"M\u00e9lanie","family":"Sustersic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department, Grenoble Mutualist Hospital Group (Groupe Hospitalier Mutualiste de Grenoble), Grenoble, France"},{"name":"Research Department, Grenoble Alpes University Hospital, Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marisa","family":"Tissot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department, Grenoble Alpes University Hospital, Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Tyrant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department, Grenoble Alpes University Hospital, Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aurelie","family":"Gauchet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychology Department, Grenoble Alpes University, Saint-Martin-d\u2019Heres, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Foote","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department, Grenoble Alpes University Hospital, Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C\u00e9line","family":"Vermorel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department, Grenoble Alpes University Hospital, Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean Luc","family":"Bosson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department, Grenoble Alpes University Hospital, Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121220173164000_9.2.e024184.1","unstructured":"Oxford.
