Objective: The purpose of this study was to simultaneously contrast prediagnostic clinical characteristics of individuals with a final diagnosis of dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared with controls without neurodegenerative disorders.

Methods: Using the longitudinal THIN database in the United Kingdom, we tested the association of each neurodegenerative disorder with a selected list of symptoms and broad families of treatments, and compared the associations between disorders to detect disease-specific effects. We replicated the main findings in the UK Biobank.

Background: The identification of modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease is paramount for early prevention and the targeting of new interventions. We aimed to assess the associations between health conditions diagnosed in primary care and the risk of incident Alzheimer's disease over time, up to 15 years before a first Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.

Methods: In this agnostic study of French and British health records, data from 20 214 patients with Alzheimer's disease in the UK and 19 458 patients with Alzheimer's disease in France were extracted from The Health Improvement Network database.

Introduction: In France, pregabalin is widely prescribed in adults but still not approved for children. We aimed to investigate the incidence of pregabalin exposure in ≤6-year-old children, to describe the characteristics and outcome of ingestions involving pregabalin alone, and to estimate a clinically relevant toxic dose in this population.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of pregabalin exposures in ≤6-year-old children, collected by the French Poison Control Centers in 2004-2019.
