Non-clinical variables affecting decision to refer a patient to a specialist endodontist

The aim was to explore if a decision to refer a patient to a specialist endodontist varies regarding demographic variables of general practitioners (GP) and features of their dental practices. Methodology: A questionnaire that focused on data regarding demographics, dental practice and referral patterns was mailed to all GPs with a work address in Rijeka, Croatia. Chi-square tests were used at level of significance p<0.05 to analyze the differences in the GP῾s referral decision regarding age, gender, years in practice, postgraduate education, employment position, number of dentists employed in practice and number of patients registered in practice.
