Comment définir des épisodes de soins ? Une application à partir de l’enquête Santé 1991-92
Abstracts
To define episodes of illness is not straightforward. Here, two physician visits are linked if they concern the same illness and are distant of less than 15 days. This particular definition has an influence on the length of the episode, but doesn’t seem to have any on the proportion of first visits directly adressed to a specialist (around 30%) and on the (small) proportion of secondary visits done with an other physician than the one seen in first instance. The second part of the article deals with prescriptions of drugs : everything else equal, supplementary health insurance has limited or no effect on the probability to get a prescription of drug during the first visit of an episode.
