Life expectancy of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma according to the upfront treatment: A nationwide analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to update the life expectancy of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in an exhaustive nationwide population according to the upfront treatment performed.

Materials And Methods: From the French Program for the Medicalization of Information System database, all patients older than 18 years diagnosed with a de novo HCC from January 2011 to December 2018 were retrospectively selected. Five-year survival rates (95% confidence intervals [CI]) were computed according to the first surgical or interventional radiology procedures performed.

Ten-year trends in hospitalizations related to cocaine abuse in France.

In France, the abuse/misuse of psychoactive substances, including cocaine, is monitored via spontaneous notifications, and under-reporting is its main limitation. Therefore, the French national hospital discharge database (Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'information [PMSI]) was used to identify all hospital stays possibly due to complications related to cocaine use. The objective was to determine the main trends in the rate of cocaine-related hospitalizations from 2010 to 2019 by age category and by areas.

Hospitalization Risks for Neurological Disorders in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Patients.

Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) can be associated with neurological and cognitive involvement, negatively affecting patients’ quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess whether pSS patients are at higher risk of hospitalization for neurological diseases. Through a nationwide retrospective study using the French Health insurance database (based on International Classification for Disease codes, ICD-10), we selected patients hospitalized with new-onset pSS between 2011 and 2018.

Cardiovascular Events, Sleep Apnoea, and Pulmonary Hypertension in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: Data from the French Health Insurance Database.

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease, associated with a high risk of lymphoma. Mounting evidence suggests that cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are higher in patients with pSS, although data are heterogeneous. The aim of this study was to assess whether pSS patients are at higher risk of hospitalisation for cardiovascular events (CVEs), venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), pulmonary hypertension (PH), and sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS).

Cancer incidence in primary Sjögren's syndrome: Data from the French hospitalization database.

The relationship between cancer and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is uncertain. While the increased risk of hematological malignancies is well-known, data on the comparative incidence of solid neoplasms is conflicting. This study aimed to explore the associations between cancer and pSS.

Hospitalizations for COPD Exacerbations: Trends and Determinants of Death.

Objectives: to understand epidemiological trends in severe COPD exacerbations through analyzes of hospitalizations and deaths during three consecutive years in a French administrative region area.

Methods: Medico-administrative records of hospitalizations for COPD exacerbations were sorted from 2010 to 2012 using selected International Classification of Diseases (ICD10) codes. Four groups of hospitalization for COPD severe exacerbations were elicited leading to hospitalizations (general ward without respiratory failure, general ward with acute respiratory distress, ICU without mechanical ventilation, ICU with mechanical ventilation).
