Trends in Overall Activity: Over the past week, SOS Médecins activity has remained stable both nationally and across regions, although an increase was observed over the Ascension weekend across all age groups. However, a decrease of approximately 10% was observed among children under 5 and adults over 75 over the past week.

Trends in seasonal indicators: The allergy indicator continued to rise over the past week among children aged 2 to 14 (+23%, or +82 visits) and among adults under 75 (+29%, or +163 visits), but a decline was noted for other age groups. This trend is observed in all regions, though less markedly in the Southeast and Southwest. The dynamics and figures for this indicator are consistent with previous years. After three weeks of increases, the number of consultations for asthma has risen slightly among adults over 75 years of age (+24%, or +8 visits) but has stabilized or declined for other age groups. The figures are very close to those of 2012 but higher than those of 2011. Consultations for heatstroke and dehydration have been on the rise over the past week. This increase is noted for all age groups for the heatstroke indicator but applies only to adults for the dehydration indicator. It is most noticeable in the Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast regions. However, the numbers are low (approximately 50 visits per week for each of the two indicators) and within expected seasonal ranges. An increase in visits for insect bites was noted over the past week (+27%, or +72 visits). The increase in this indicator is slightly earlier than that observed in 2012 but is similar to that seen in 2013. Consultations for general malaise are on the rise among adults (+25%, or +50 visits) but are stable or declining among children, within expected seasonal ranges.
