Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The International Classification of Primary Care, Second version (ICPC-2) aligned with the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) is a standard for primary care epidemiology compendium. ICPC-2 has been also intended to identify the clinical topics in family medicine. Contextual field-specific knowledge in family medicine and primary care such as health structures, management, categories of patients, research methods, ethical or environmental features are not standardized and reflect, more often, the views of experts.
