The prevalence and cost of diabetes in metropolitan France: what trends between 1998 and 2000?

Formal and informal care for disabled elderly living in the community: an appraisal of French care composition and costs

Sévérité de l’œdème maculaire diabétique (OMD) en Seine-Saint-Denis chez des patients traités par anti-VEGF

L'analyse des paramètres socioculturels pourrait donc permettre d'expliquer les résultats observés dans notre population qui présente d'une part un plus faible niveau socio-économique, ainsi qu'un taux plus élevé de personnes en situation de précarité [21].…”
