More and more newborns are being taken to paediatric emergency departments in France. A study was carried out between 2013 and 2015 to identify the reasons for non-emergency consultations, and to analyse the risk factors. The most common diagnoses were: rhinitis, gastro-oesophageal reflux and colic. There were three main predictive factors for consultation: the young age of the mother, primiparity and the short stay in the maternity hospital.
