Background: To examine the psychometrics properties of the French version of two scales measuring general (HLS-Q12) and navigational (HLS-NAV) health literacy (HL) using validation methods based on modern psychometric test theories: a Rasch model analysis.
Methods: The data on representative samples of the French adult population came from the Health Literacy Survey (N = 2 003), conducted in France in two waves (2020 and 2021), and from the third wave of SLAVACO study (N = 2 022), conducted in December 2021. A Rasch analysis was performed using a partial credit model with marginal maximum likelihood estimation adapted to polytomous data.
Article Synopsis
- Thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) are standard stroke treatments, and this study investigates their effectiveness specifically in nonagenarians (patients aged 90 and older), hypothesizing that their prognosis may be worse than that of younger patients.
- The study analyzed outcomes of 96 nonagenarians treated with these therapies, finding that they had more pre-existing health conditions and lower independence before the stroke compared to patients aged 80-89.
- Results indicated that while treatment timelines and successful reperfusion rates were similar, nonagenarians had significantly poorer functional recovery at 3 months (14.3% vs. 34.0%) and a much higher mortality rate (60.2% compared to 16
Purpose: The recent worldwide health pandemic and related social distancing and restrictions negatively impacted adolescents' mental health, including depression, underscoring the need for comprehensive understanding beyond immediate impacts. We aimed to identify factors assessed during the first and second lockdowns that were associated with depression symptoms 2 years after restrictions easing.
Methods: This study included 1,946 adolescents, aged 15-18 years, involved in the French Epidémiologie et Conditions de Vie population-based cohort.
We aimed to explore the sexual health of young adults with perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus (PHIV). Eighteen to 25 years old PHIV participants were recruited in two tertiary care units in Paris. Sexually transmitted HIV was an exclusion criterion.

- The study examined how the risk of post-covid symptoms differed between the first wave (March-May 2020) and the second wave (September-November 2020) of the pandemic in France, focusing on data from a national population-based cohort.
- Results showed a higher risk of 14.6% for post-covid symptoms during the first wave compared to 7.0% in the second wave, indicating an increased adjusted risk ratio of 1.36.
- Factors such as baseline physical and mental conditions, the number of acute symptoms, and educational level influenced the risk, with women also showing higher vulnerability during the first wave.
