[Screening for sensory defects in infants: the application of recommendations by GPs in the Maine-et-Loire region].

Early detection of sight problems and hearing difficulties in babies facilitates better management of treatment by doctors who take care of them. This role is mainly played by general practitioners who conduct obligatory post-natal examinations at 9 and 24 months. A survey was carried out via questionnaire sent to all of the general practitioners from a French department in order to discover more about their daily clinical practice regarding the detection of sensory defects.
