Yet, data for Germany regarding the quality of healthcare for this patient group are lacking. The QualiP\u00e4d research project aims to estimate the quality of outpatient healthcare for children and adolescents in Germany, focusing on common psychiatric and physical disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title><jats:p>Quality indicators for seven common physical and mental childhood and adolescent clinical conditions (attention deficit\/hyperactivity disorder, asthma, atopic dermatitis, depression, otitis media, conduct disorder\/oppositional defiant disorder, tonsillitis) will be developed and ratified by experts, using the RAND\/UCLA Appropriateness Method.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Initially, 1400 medical records of children and adolescents with one of the aforementioned clinical conditions will then be randomly drawn from 40 outpatient practices in the German federal state of Hessen. The records will then be assessed regarding their adherence to the respective quality indicators. Based on this, the percentage of appropriate and inappropriate (eg, wasteful) healthcare of all clinical conditions (primary endpoint) will be estimated. Additionally, possible factors influencing the quality of care (eg, patient characteristics, type of condition, type of practice) will be identified using generalised estimation equation models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study will show for which of the studied clinical conditions and\/or patients improvement of quality of care is necessary within the German health system. Also, the quality indicators designed for the study can afterwards be implemented in regular care and thus enable regular reporting of the outpatient care of this target group. The authors plan to disseminate their findings through international, peer-reviewed scientific publications, and through presentations at national and international paediatric and child psychiatric conferences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Trial registration number<\/jats:title><jats:p>DRKS00022408.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2021-048782","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,23]],"date-time":"2021-11-23T17:46:53Z","timestamp":1637689613000},"page":"e048782","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Assessment of the quality of routine ambulatory healthcare for common disorders in children and adolescents in Germany: study protocol for a retrospective medical record review (QualiP\u00e4d)"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Viktor","family":"Tischlik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Mehl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Ewald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Heinzel-Gutenbrunner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5596-6246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Max","family":"Geraedts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7526-2660","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian J","family":"Bachmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.1","first-page":"57","article-title":"Inanspruchnahme p\u00e4diatrischer und allgemeinmedizinischer leistungen durch kinder und jugendliche in deutschland \u2013 querschnittergebnisse aus kiggs welle 2 und trends","volume":"3","author":"Seeling","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Health Monitoring"},{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"878","DOI":"10.1007\/s00103-014-1989-1","article-title":"[Trends in the utilization of outpatient medical care in childhood and adolescence: results of the KiGGS study - a comparison of baseline and first follow up (KiGGS Wave 1)]","volume":"57","author":"Rattay","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bundesgesundheitsblatt Gesundheitsforschung Gesundheitsschutz"},{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2018.0162"},{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMsa064637"},{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.5","first-page":"e78","article-title":"Qualit\u00e4tsmessung bei der behandlung von kindern und jugendlichen mit entwicklungsst\u00f6rungen - eine machbarkeitsstudie am beispiel ADHS","volume":"79","author":"Ulusoy","year":"2017","journal-title":"Gesundheitswesen"},{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1754.2007.01151.x"},{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2007-0136"},{"key":"2024102804520908000_11.11.e048782.8","unstructured":"Sachverst\u00e4ndigenrat zur Begutachtung der Entwicklung im Gesundheitswesen .
