Article Synopsis
- Newborn care guidelines suggest follow-up assessments within a week after discharge, but this study focuses on the impact of early follow-up visits (EFVs) within three days and their link to neonatal hospital readmission.
- Researchers analyzed data from the French National Health Care Database, involving healthy infants born in Southern France, and found that 2.25% were hospitalized, mainly due to infections and jaundice.
- The study concluded that infants with EFVs had a 13% lower chance of being rehospitalized, suggesting that these visits should be prioritized to enhance infant health and reduce healthcare expenses.

Background: The spring 2020 COVID-19 epidemic severely impacted France's healthcare system. The associated lockdown (17 March- 11 May 2020) and the risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 led patients to change their use of healthcare. This article presents the development and implementation of a real-time system to monitor i) private doctors' activity in South-eastern France, and ii) changes in prescription of drugs for people with diabetes, mental health disorders and for certain vaccines from Mars 2020 to October 2020.
