Sex-specific predictive factors of smoking cessation in subjects at high cardiovascular risk.

Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in particular in women, but smoking cessation (SC) reduces or even cancels the risk for both sexes. Using a nationwide SC services database, we aimed to determine the predictive factors of SC in men and women smokers with CV risk factors (CVRF) or CVD. A retrospective study from the French CDTnet database was conducted.

Clinical factors associated with smoking cessation among smokers with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by sex: Longitudinal analyses from French smoking cessation services.

Background: Smoking is responsible for 80 % of cases of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), while the prognosis is improved by smoking cessation (SC). We examined clinical factors associated with SC among smokers with COPD comparing women and men.

Methods: The study comprised a cohort of 1470 smokers who visited a SC service and completed at least 28-day of follow-up visits.

Cardiovascular Risk Among Patients Who Smoke: Risk Profiles and Differences by Sex.

Introduction: Smoking is particularly harmful to the cardiovascular system, and smoking-cessation is a key target for cardiovascular prevention. From a large nationwide database on subjects who visited smoking-cessation services, this study assessed the profile and abstinence rate comparing female with male smokers at high cardiovascular risk.

Methods: This was an observational study from the French smoking-cessation services cohort (French national cohort Consultations de Dépendance Tabagique) between 2001 and 2018.

Predictors of Smoking Cessation Attempt and Continued Abstinence among Low-Income Disabled Smokers: Evidence from the French National Smoking Cessation Cohort CDT-Net.

: In France, daily smoking has been highly prevalent among low-income smokers.: Our aim was to search for factors associated with both continued abstinence and attempting to quit among low-income disabled smokers. : From the French national smoking cessation cohort CDT-net, we included 1624 adults living with disability pension or disabled adult allowance.

Integration of a Commercial Barcode-Assisted Medication Dispensing System in a Teaching Hospital.

Objectives: A commercial barcode-assisted medication administration (BCMA) system was integrated to secure the medication process and particularly the dispensing stage by technicians and the administration stage with nurses. We aimed to assess the impact of this system on medication dispensing errors and barriers encountered during integration process.

Methods: We conducted a controlled randomized study in a teaching hospital, during dispensing process at the pharmacy department.
