Meta Analysis
Prevalence of Burnout among General Practitioners: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Burnout is a work-related syndrome documented to have negative consequences for GPs and their patients. ⋯ Moderate to high GP burnout exists worldwide.

This highlights the challenge of developing a uniform approach, and the importance of considering GPs' work context to better characterise burnout.
