Background: This study describes the time trend of renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur region (PACA) between 2004 and 2015, and forecasts up to 2030.
Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted on all ESRD patients treated in PACA and recorded in the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) during this period. Time trends and forecasts to 2030 were analyzed using Poisson regression models.
Chronic respiratory disease: an unrecognized risk factor in dialysis.
Nephrol Dial Transplant
December 2017
Background: Few studies have analysed the impact of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) on outcomes in dialysis. We therefore sought to describe patients with CRD and end-stage renal disease and their outcomes after dialysis start, compared with patients without CRD, focusing especially on causes of death, access to renal transplantation and causes of hospital admissions.
Methods: The study included 52 797 adults aged 18 years and older who began dialysis from 2008 to 2013 and are recorded in the French national REIN registry.
OBJECTIVE To describe and analyze a large outbreak of Clostridium difficile 027 (CD-027) infections. METHODS Confirmed CD-027 cases were defined as CD infection plus real-time polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR) positive for CD-027. Clinical and microbiological data on patients with CD-027 infection were collected from January 2013 to December 2015 in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region (southeastern France).

Methods: We used data from the French REIN registry. We included all patients aged 18 years or more who started dialysis between 1st January 2004 and 12 December 2012 in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region (PACA).
Background And Objectives: Monoclonal gammopathies (MGs) with renal involvement can lead to ESRD caused by myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN), immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (ALA), or light-chain deposition disease (LCDD). Few studies have focused on the prognosis of patients with MG on chronic dialysis. We evaluated the outcomes of patients with MG incident on chronic dialysis in France.

- The study examined travel-times for haemodialysis patients in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region from 1995 to 2008, alongside health care reforms related to haemodialysis.
- Data showed an increase in the number of haemodialysis patients from 1,807 in 1995 to 3,141 in 2008, with average travel-time decreasing significantly from 18.2 minutes to 15 minutes.
- The findings indicate that improved health care provisions have enhanced patient accessibility through a reduction in travel-times and an increase in dialysis facilities.
Introduction: High temperatures induce excess mortality in the population, even in our country. The 1983 heat wave in Marseille led to the development of warning messages in a preventive campaign since 1984.
Objective: To compare mortality of people over 65 years old during summer heat waves before and after a campaign in Marseille.
Introduction: One of the consequences of an ageing French population is the large number of elderly patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF). Nephrologists will be increasingly confronted with the growing number of elderly patients and the sometimes-precarious health of the extremely elderly.
Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of the populations of patients over 75 years in ESRF, treated by dialysis in the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region (Paca) in 1999.
