Anxiety and depression, conditions frequently associated with childhood chronic abdominal pain (AP), are characterized by seasonal exacerbations. A seasonal pattern characterized by a higher frequency of consultations for AP during winter has been suspected but has never, to our knowledge, been demonstrated. We hypothesize the presence of a seasonal variation in AP consultations with a winter predominance.
