About this study

Children represent 1.2% of the spa population in France. Spa treatments, including climatic stays, are mainly prescribed for children in the context of respiratory, otorhinolaryngology and dermatological conditions. The benefits after spa treatments are the improvement of the symptoms of the pathology, the quality of life and in particular the reduction of drug exposures.

Few authors have recently investigated the impact of spa treatments on the health of children and society, while care has changed significantly in recent years. Moreover, no real-life study of a large sample of children seems to have been conducted in this area. The present study plan to conduct a pharmacoepidemiology study on medico-administrative databases of the "observational study" type, in real life.

  3. Compare 2 data sources

    Compare the population of children from the 2 data sources used for this project (departmental level with the cohort 'POMME' and national level with the 'EGB') to determine if the geographical situation of the department of Haute-Garonne influences the management of this type of diseases

    Measured: until 7 years-old of children

  4. impact of SPA treatment on the pathology

    Study the impact of spa treatments on the consumption of care in connection with the pathology that motivated the spa treatment, before and after the SPA
