Introduction: Even though France was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have addressed the dynamics of the first wave on an exhaustive, nationwide basis. We aimed to describe the geographic and temporal distribution of COVID-19 hospitalisations and in-hospital mortality in France during the first epidemic wave, from January to June 2020.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the French national database for all acute care hospital admissions (PMSI).
Article Synopsis
- * Of the 7,485 pediatric COVID-19 cases studied, 26.6% (1,988 patients) were admitted to critical care units, with younger age, pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PIMS), respiratory issues, and underlying conditions being significant risk factors.
- * The rate of critical care admissions decreased over the pandemic waves, with a total of 32 deaths (0.4%) and a median age of 6 years among those who died, highlighting specific age groups, especially newborn
Objective: To assess the relationship between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion exposure and in-hospital mortality after isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Background: RBC transfusion was commonly used to treat anemia in isolated CABG surgery, but transfusion was found an independent risk factor of postoperative mortality; recent guidelines on patient blood management strategy issued in the last decade may have changed transfusion incidence and related mortality.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted from the National database on patients' hospital discharge reports.
Objective: To explore mortality risk factors for patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in a critical care unit (CCU) or a hospital care unit (HCU).
Design: Retrospective cohort analysis using the French national () database.
Setting: Any public or private hospital in France.
Thirty-day readmission after surgery has been proposed as a quality-of-care indicator. We explored the effect of postoperative rehabilitation on readmission risk after groin hernia repair. We used the French National Discharge Database to identify all index hospitalizations for groin hernia repair in 2011.
