Cohort Creation and Visualization Using Graph Model in the PREDIMED Health Data Warehouse.

Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHUGA) is currently deploying a health data warehouse called PREDIMED [1], a platform designed to integrate and analyze for research, education and institutional management the data of patients treated at CHUGA. PREDIMED contains healthcare data, administrative data and, potentially, data from external databases. PREDIMED is hosted by the CHUGA Information Systems Department and benefits from its strict security rules.

Transitions in the labor market after cancer: a comparison of self-employed workers and salaried staff.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the labor market mobility of a population of cancer survivors 2 years after diagnosis differed compared to the French general population by focusing on the differences between self-employed workers and salaried staff.

Methods: Coarsened exact matching was implemented to reduce the sampling bias introduced by the comparison of individuals from two different surveys. Then, labor market mobility was analyzed by estimating transition probability matrices from 2010 to 2012 under the framework of a continuous-time Markov technique and by estimating a two-step model.

[Prevention of infective endocarditis: are recommendations about oral health procedures for high or moderate risk patients respected?].

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but particularly serious disease. It frequently requires surgical treatment with cardiac valve replacement. In-hospital mortality is very high.

[Relationship between in-hospital mortality rate and patient volume for total hip arthroplasty in the Rhône-Alpes public hospitals].

Background: Comparisons between hospitals using surgical volume, among other criteria can be made using large hospital databases. A relationship between hospital volume and care results, particularly mortality, is assumed to justify the use of activity volume as a comparison criterion. We aimed to assess a relationship between hospital volume and mortality after total hip replacement using the data available in the French Diagnosis Related Groups (Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information, PMSI).

[Human salmonellosis and turtles in France].

Two immunosuppressed children were infected with Salmonella, due to turtles living in water. So we investigated the carriage of Salmonella among those animals. Among the 95 investigated animals, 10 were carrying Salmonella (Arizonae, Rissen, Pomona and Blockley).
