Trends in the morbidity of pre-school children registered in family medicine and primary pediatrics in Croatia: 1995-2012.

Primary health care for pre-school children in Croatia is provided by the primary pediatricians (PPs) in urban, or family doctors (FDs) in rural areas. The main aim of the study was to determine the trends in morbidity as recorded by FDs, and those recorded by PPs, from 1995-2012. The study was based on the routinely collected, national statistics data from the Croatian Health Service Yearbooks.
