Determinants of disability at 6 months after stroke: The GRECogVASC Study.

Background And Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the contributions of background disorders responsible for participation restriction as indexed by a structured interview for the modified Rankin Scale (mRS-SI).

Methods: A subset of 256 patients was assessed at 6 months after stroke using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), gait score, comprehensive cognitive battery (yielding a global cognitive Z-score), behavioral dysexecutive disorders (DDs), anxiety and depressive symptoms, epilepsy, and headache. Following bivariate analyses, determinants of participation restriction were selected using ordinal regression analysis with partial odds.

Under-Prescription of Medical Treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease in the Under 50s: A Retrospective Study.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality; however, data on its etiology and evolution in patients under 50 years old are scarce. Therefore, we performed a retrospective analysis of data from medical records, including cardiovascular risk factors, etiology, medical and surgical treatment, and follow-up. We included all patients with PAD aged between 18 and 50 years attending our university hospital between 2005 and 2015.

Endoscopic balloon dilation of colorectal strictures complicating Crohn's disease: a multicenter study.

Introduction: While endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is widely used to manage ileal strictures, EBD of colorectal strictures remains poorly investigated in Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods: We performed a retrospective study that included all consecutive CD patients who underwent EBD for native or anastomotic colorectal strictures in 9 tertiary centers between 1999 and 2018. Factors associated with EBD failure were also investigated by logistic regression.

Severe Infection in Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease: A Retrospective Multicenter French Study.

In patients presenting with anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease with advanced isolated kidney involvement, the benefit of intensive therapy remains controversial due to adverse events, particularly infection. We aim to describe the burden of severe infections (SI) (requiring hospitalization or intravenous antibiotics) and identify predictive factors of SI in a large cohort of patients with anti-GBM disease. Among the 201 patients (median [IQR] age, 53 [30-71] years) included, 74 had pulmonary involvement and 127 isolated glomerulonephritis.

Factors associated with hospital stay length, discharge destination, and 30-day readmission rate after primary hip or knee arthroplasty: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: In France and in the US, predictions for 2030 include an increased number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures together with an overall trend towards shorter hospital stays. Predictors of hospital length of stay (LOS) include the day of surgery, discharge destination, and patient comorbidities. Available data are conflicting, however, and to our knowledge predictors of LOS after THA or TKA have not been evaluated in France.

A benefit-risk analysis of rotavirus vaccination, France, 2015.

IntroductionTwo vaccines available for protection against rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE), Rotarix and RotaTeq, have contributed to a large decrease in the incidence of paediatric diarrhoea in countries where they have been used. However, they have also led to a small increase in the risk of intussusception. We compare the number of prevented hospitalisations for RVGE to the number of vaccine-induced hospitalised intussusceptions in France.
