Impact of Spa Treatments on the Consumption of Care in Children

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.
