Eleven-year trends in socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence and incidence of pharmacologically treated type 2 diabetes in France, 2010-2020.

Aim: This study aimed to describe the association between socioeconomic inequalities and the prevalence and incidence of pharmacologically-treated type 2 diabetes in European France over the 2010-2020 period.

Methods: Diabetes cases were identified using a validated algorithm from the French National Health Data System. Analysis was restricted to adults aged 45 years and older to focus on type 2 diabetes.

Prevalence, demographic and spatial distribution of treated epilepsy in France in 2020: a study based on the French national health data system.

Background: Although still incomplete, the epidemiology of epilepsy shows substantial variations in the burden of the condition according to demographic, social and territorial characteristics. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of treated epilepsy and to investigate its demographic and spatial distribution in 2020 in France, a country where the nationwide epidemiological situation of the condition remains largely unknown.

Methods: We used the French national health data system, which covers nearly the entire population residing in France (over 67 million of inhabitants in metropolitan and overseas departments).

Prevalence and Determinants of Transient Congenital Hypothyroidism in Children With Eutopic Gland in France: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Context: The increase in the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) reported worldwide may partly be explained by an increase in the transient form of CH.

Objective: We aimed to estimate the proportion of transient CH (TCH) in France, and to identify associated neonatal and young child characteristics.

Methods: We used probabilistic record linkage to link children with eutopic gland born between 2006 and 2012 recorded in the national French CH registry and the French national health data system (SNDS).

Obstructive sleep apnea: A sharp increase in the prevalence of patients treated with nasal CPAP over the last decade in France.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequent condition. In the absence of treatment, OSA is associated with a higher risk of traffic accidents and a large variety of diseases. The objectives of this study were to describe the characteristics of patients treated for OSA in France and assess the time trends in treatment.

Is the type 2 diabetes epidemic plateauing in France? A nationwide population-based study.

Aim: Nationwide data on the evolution of diabetes incidence and prevalence are scarce in France. For this reason, our objectives were to determine type 2 diabetes prevalence and incidence rates between 2010 and 2017, stratified by gender, age and region, and to assess annual time trends over the study period in adults aged≥45 years.

Methods: Diabetes cases in the National Health Data System (SNDS), which covers the entire French population (66 million people), were identified through a validated algorithm.

Identifying diabetes cases in health administrative databases: a validation study based on a large French cohort.

Objectives: In the French national health insurance information system (SNDS) three diabetes case definition algorithms are applied to identify diabetic patients. The objective of this study was to validate those using data from a large cohort.

Methods: The CONSTANCES cohort (Cohorte des consultants des Centres d'examens de santé) comprises a randomly selected sample of adults living in France.

Trends in childhood type 1 diabetes incidence in France, 2010-2015.

Aims: To estimate type 1 diabetes incidence in children in France and its evolution between 2010 and 2015, based on comprehensive medico-administrative databases.

Methods: The algorithm built to identify new cases of type 1 diabetes selected children aged between 6 months and 14 years who had at least one hospital stay for diabetes, followed by their first insulin treatment, excluding children suffering from another form of diabetes. Age and sex specific annual incidence rates were estimated and time trend was analyzed using Poisson regression.

[Algorithms based on medico-administrative data in the field of endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases, especially diabetes].

Background: Medico-administrative databases represent a very interesting source of information in the field of endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases. The objective of this article is to describe the early works of the Redsiam working group in this field.

Methods: Algorithms developed in France in the field of diabetes, the treatment of dyslipidemia, precocious puberty, and bariatric surgery based on the National Inter-schema Information System on Health Insurance (SNIIRAM) data were identified and described.

The excess mortality related to cardiovascular diseases and cancer among adults pharmacologically treated for diabetes--the 2001-2006 ENTRED cohort.

Aims: To compare the 5-year mortality (overall and cause-specific) of a cohort of adults pharmacologically treated for diabetes with that of the rest of the French adult population.

Methods: In 2001, 10 000 adults treated for diabetes were randomly selected from the major French National Health Insurance System database. Vital status and causes of death were successfully extracted from the national registry for 9101 persons.

[Winter surveillance of cold exposure effects on health among the homeless population in the Paris area: data from the Coordinated Health Surveillance of Emergency Department network (Organisation de la surveillance coordonnée des urgences [Oscour(®)])].

Background: A program for helping homeless individuals in winter is implemented from November 1(st) to March 31(st) each year in France. Its aim is to prevent morbidity and mortality in this population during cold spells and periods of severe cold. A health surveillance system of the homeless population in the Paris area has been proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and to alert decision-makers if an unusual increase in cold-weather effects is observed.
