Objectives: This study presents nationally representative estimates and trends for infertility service use among women aged 25-43 and men aged 25-49 in France in 2013-2016.
Methods: Two retrospective repeated cross-sectional analyses for years 2013 to 2016 were performed on the statutory French health care insurance reimbursement database for independent workers. Use rate was calculated on the number of individuals who underwent at least one infertility service within the studied year per women and men who utilized health services the same year.
Interest Of The Work: Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease modifying therapies (DMT) utilization increased during the last decade with the approval of new drugs. Symptomatic treatments also play an important role. Describing time trends and demographic characteristics for DMT and symptomatic treatments utilization in population-based MS patients will lead to a better knowledge of the resources distribution.

- Two studies in France found that multiple sclerosis prevalence shows a geographic gradient, but only among farmers, leading researchers to investigate this trend in independent workers.
- Analysis of data from over 4 million independent workers revealed that the prevalence of multiple sclerosis increases from southwest to northeast France, with a significant correlation to geographic location.
- The differences in geographic distribution among different worker populations suggest that factors like adult mobility in the workforce could influence the prevalence of the disease, rather than environmental factors alone.
Aim: When self-employed andsmall business owners are diagnosed with cancer what is the effect on their small-firm survival duration?
Methods: Data Sources: secondary data for 3,587 subjects, 18-65 years, working when diagnosed with cancer in 1995-2009 and a comparison group of 27,688 subjects matched for gender, age and occupation. Study design: a comprehensive population-based longitudinal study. A Cox model described time to failures of small businesses and terminations ofself-employment.
Aim: In occupational health insurance, co-payment exemptions for severe chronic respiratory failure and reimbursements for domiciliary oxygen therapy can be used as markers of severe chronic respiratory insufficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in the prevalence of markers of respiratory disease between different occupations.
Methods: We conducted an analysis of the reimbursement database of the French Régime Social des Indépendants (public health insurance scheme for self-employed workers), focusing on gender, occupation and place of residence.
Unlabelled: INTERESTS OF THE STUDY: In the self-employed workers population (shop keepers, craft men, industrialists and liberal professions), psychotropic medications use and discrepancies between occupational situations have never been evaluated before. It is nevertheless a prerequisite in preventive actions against addictions, stress and injuries caused by disorders of attentiveness at work.
Method: The French Self Employed Workers Health Care Insurance Fund affiliate members data base was analysed for active workers from 18 to 60 years of age living in the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur Region.
