Article Synopsis
- The mpox epidemic in France, which saw an increase in locally-acquired cases starting in May 2022, was analyzed through data collected until September 2022.
- A total of 4,856 cases were reported, primarily affecting male individuals aged 15 and older, with specific demographic changes noted over the summer months.
- The study observed a decline in the number of cases attending men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) venues and a reduction in sexual partners, which may reflect shifts in behavior and virus transmission dynamics.
Background: In France, the lifting of the lockdown implemented to control the COVID-19 first wave in 2020 was followed by a reinforced contact-tracing (CT) strategy for the early detection of cases and transmission chains. We developed a reporting system of clusters defined as at least three COVID-19 cases, within seven days and belonging to the same community or having participated in the same gathering, whether they know each other or not. The aim of this study was to describe the typology and criticality of clusters reported between the two lockdowns in France to guide future action prioritisation.

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.
Background: Completeness, timeliness and accuracy are important qualities for registries. The objective was to estimate the completeness of the first two years of full registration (2008/2009) of a new population-based general cancer registry, at the time of national data centralisation.
Methods: Records followed international standards.
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.
