The Association Between Age and Admission to an Inappropriate Ward: A Cross-Sectional Survey in France.

Half of elderly patient hospitalizations are preceded by an emergency department (ED) visit. Hospitalization in inappropriate wards (IWs), which is more frequent in case of ED overcrowding and high hospital occupancy, leads to increased morbidity. Elderly individuals are the most exposed to these negative health care outcomes.

How to Improve Cancer Patients ENrollment in Clinical Trials From rEal-Life Databases Using the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Oncology Extension: Results of the PENELOPE Initiative in Urologic Cancers.

Purpose: To compare the computability of Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP)-based queries related to prescreening of patients using two versions of the OMOP common data model (CDM; v5.3 and v5.4) and to assess the performance of the Greater Paris University Hospital (APHP) prescreening tool.

AP-HP Health Data Space (AHDS) to the Test of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Unlabelled: Sharing observational and interventional health data within a common data space enables university hospitals to leverage such data for biomedical discovery and moving towards a learning health system.

Objective: To describe the AP-HP Health Data Space (AHDS) and the IT services supporting piloting, research, innovation and patient care.

Methods: Built on three pillars - governance and ethics, technology and valorization - the AHDS and its major component, the Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW) have been developed since 2015.

Functional Devices from Bottom-Up Silicon Nanowires: A Review.

This paper summarizes some of the essential aspects for the fabrication of functional devices from bottom-up silicon nanowires. In a first part, the different ways of exploiting nanowires in functional devices, from single nanowires to large assemblies of nanowires such as nanonets (two-dimensional arrays of randomly oriented nanowires), are briefly reviewed. Subsequently, the main properties of nanowires are discussed followed by those of nanonets that benefit from the large numbers of nanowires involved.

Temporal trends in reperfusion therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Objectives: To analyze the temporal trends in thrombolysis rates after implementation of a regional emergency network for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study based on a prospective multicenter observational registry. The AIS benefited from reperfusion therapy included in 1 of the 5 primary stroke units or 1 comprehensive stroke center and 37 emergency departments were included using a standardized case report form.
