Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath on hospital admissions for lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), focusing specifically on patients with chronic respiratory disease (CRD) over a ten-year period.
- - Data showed a significant drop in LRTI hospitalizations during the early pandemic and post-lockdown periods compared to pre-pandemic averages, with a 43.64% decrease during the early pandemic and 32.97% during the gradual lifting of restrictions.
- - After restrictions were lifted, there was a notable rebound in LRTI admissions that returned to seasonal patterns, indicating that COVID-19 mitigation strategies affected infection rates, particularly in patients with CRD.
Objectives: High-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (HD-QIV) was introduced during the 2021/2022 influenza season in France for adults aged ≥65 years as an alternative to standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (SD-QIV). The aim of this study is to estimate the relative vaccine effectiveness of HD-QIV vs. SD-QIV against influenza-related hospitalizations in France.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from the National Health Insurance Database.
We investigated links between antimicrobial resistance in community-onset bacteremia and 1-year bacteremia recurrence by using the clinical data warehouse of Europe's largest university hospital group in France. We included adult patients hospitalized with an incident community-onset Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, or Klebsiella spp. bacteremia during 2017-2019.

Several studies have focused on aspects of healthcare pathways of sepsis survivors but comprehensive, longitudinal overview of their pathways of care are scarce. The aim of this retrospective, longitudinal cohort study is to identify sepsis survivor profiles based on their healthcare pathways and describe their healthcare consumption and costs over the 3 years following their index hospitalization.
