Background: Total hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasties (THKSA) are increasing due to expanding demands in ageing population. Material surveillance is important to prevent severe complications involving implantable medical devices (IMD) by taking appropriate preventive measures. Automating the analysis of patient and IMD features could benefit physicians and public health policies, allowing early issue detection and decision support.

The 112 nationwide CRPs do not benefit from a common electronic health record system. Our aim was to propose an HER model for CRP to enable real-life data reuse, optimize care pathway management and conduct pre-screening for research.

Objectives: The aim of this trial is to assess the statistical management of noncompleters in cluster randomized trials carried out in nursing homes.
Hip arthroplasty represents a large proportion of orthopaedic activity, constantly increasing. Automating monitoring from clinical data warehouses is an opportunity to dynamically monitor devices and patient outcomes allowing improve clinical practices. Our objective was to assess quantitative and qualitative concordance between claim data and device supply data in order to create an e-cohort of patients undergoing a hip replacement.

The development of precision medicine in oncology to define profiles of patients who could benefit from specific and relevant anti-cancer therapies is essential. An increasing number of specific eligibility criteria are necessary to be eligible to targeted therapies. This study aimed to develop an automated algorithm based on natural language processing to detect patients and tumor characteristics to reduce the time-consuming prescreening for trial inclusions.
