Multicenter Study
[Multicentric study on neonatal medical pain management in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais].
The aim of this study was to describe pain management for newborn infants in neonatal intensive care units and neonatal units in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. ⋯ At the time of study, the interest in the pain of the physicians working in neonatal intensive care units and neonatal units was inadequate to guarantee an optimum management of pain in newborn infants. Physicians' approach remained heterogeneous.

Crying is called "Infantile colic" when such cries are numerous, paroxystic, difficult to comfort, and without an obvious cause. ⋯ Given the sample size and origin, and the rigor of both the study and the analysis, we believe that these data could be extrapolated to the usual pediatrician's patient population. This highlighting of differences between our two groups indicate the validity of this diagnosis.

Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
[Characteristics of patients and use of resource in French pediatric intensive care units. Le groupe francophone de Rèanimation et urgences pédiatriques].
Evaluation of case-mix and resource consumption in pediatric intensive care units (ICU) is required. ⋯ The results of this study can be used for interinstitutional comparison and a broader appraisal of pediatric intensive care. They illustrate the relationship between severity of illness and resource consumption. French pediatric ICU efficiency seems to be high, as compared to North American and Dutch results.
