Description and characterization of pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (CAP) among radiologically confirmed CAP in outpatients.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) remains an important cause of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). We aimed to describe the prevalence and characteristics of outpatients with radiologically confirmed pneumococcal CAP. Between November 2017 and December 2019, a French network of general practitioners enrolled CAP-suspected adults, with ≥1 clinical signs of infection and ≥1 signs of pulmonary localization in an observational study.

Relation Between Chest Radiography Results and Antibiotic Initiation in Community-Acquired Pneumonia Management by General Practitioners.

Purpose: For most guidelines, diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is based on a combination of clinical signs and focal consolidation visible on chest radiographs (CRs). Our objective was to analyze antibiotic initiation by general practitioners for patients with suspected CAP according to CR.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study in general practice in France.

Computerized Decision Support Systems Informing Community-Acquired Pneumonia Surveillance, France, 2017-2023.

We show the value of real-time data generated by a computerized decision support system in primary care in strengthening pneumonia surveillance. The system showed a 66% (95% CI 64%-67%) increase in community-acquired pneumonia from 2018 to 2023 for the population of France, 1 month before a national alert was issued.

Evaluation of orthopaedic residents from SOCLE phase to osteosynthesis simulation: feedback from the AO course.

Introduction: In 2019, the French College of Orthopaedic and Traumatology (CFCOT) made the AOTrauma course entitled "Basic Principles of Fracture Treatment" mandatory for all orthopaedic residents during the first year of their educational program i.e. during the SOCLE phase (common base phase).

Implementation of a Clinical Decision Support System for Antimicrobial Prescribing in Sub-Saharan Africa: Multisectoral Qualitative Study.

Background: Suboptimal use of antimicrobials is a driver of antimicrobial resistance in West Africa. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) can facilitate access to updated and reliable recommendations.

Objective: This study aimed to assess contextual factors that could facilitate the implementation of a CDSS for antimicrobial prescribing in West Africa and Central Africa and to identify tailored implementation strategies.
