The application of \u201cDo Not Do\u201d recommendations, in interaction with gender biases in primary care, remains to be fully understood.

Thirty-three of the 61 (54.1%) health professionals from clinical and research settings invited, completed the questionnaire. Participants were recruited by snowball sampling through two scientific societies, meeting specific inclusion criteria: over 10\u00a0years of professional experience\u00a0and a minimum of 7\u00a0years focused on health studies from a gender perspective. An initial round using a questionnaire comprising 40 LVPs to assess consensus on their frequency in primary care, potential to cause serious adverse events, and different frequency between men and women possibly due to gender bias. A second round-questionnaire was administered to confirm the final selection of LVPs.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study identified nineteen LVPs potentially linked to serious adverse events with varying frequencies between men and women in primary care.
