  Abstract: In the context with intense physician-patient relationship, defensive medicine was an important cause of rising medical costs. Our study performed a review of the prevalence of defensive medicine across the world and its measurement methods, in order to provide reference for further research of defensive medicine in China. This review showed that the prevalence of defensive medicine was high in China, and there was a lack of relevant empirical research. Previous research in China has limited research scope, and the measurement indicators are not comprehensive enough. The measurement methods include physician self-assessment, objective evaluation, clinical situation investigation and real-world data analysis. Suitable methods can be selected or combined according to the actual situation.

  Key words: Defensive Medicine; Physician Behaviour; Measurement Methods; Review
