Early Hospital Discharge Using Remote Monitoring for Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19, Regardless of Need for Home Oxygen Therapy: A Descriptive Study.

Aim: Since beds are unavailable, we prospectively investigated whether early hospital discharge will be safe and useful in patients hospitalized for COVID-19, regardless of their need for home oxygen therapy.

Population And Methods: Extending the initial inclusion criteria, 62 patients were included and 51 benefited from home telemonitoring, mainly assessing clinical parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, dyspnea, temperature) and peripheral saturation (SpO) at follow-up.

Results: 47% of the patients were older than 65 years; 63% needed home oxygen therapy and/or presented with more than one comorbidity.

Effect of surgical delay on 30-day mortality in patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants and admitted for hip fracture.

Background: Early hip fracture surgery is recommended to decrease mortality, however the impact of a delay in surgery due to previous treatment with direct oral anticoagulants (DOA) is unknown. Our objective was to determine if early surgery, defined as surgery within 48 h of hospital admission is associated with decreased postoperative mortality. We tested the hypothesis that early surgery was beneficial with regard for mortality in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants.

Major interregional differences in France of COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality from January to June 2020.

Introduction: Even though France was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have addressed the dynamics of the first wave on an exhaustive, nationwide basis. We aimed to describe the geographic and temporal distribution of COVID-19 hospitalisations and in-hospital mortality in France during the first epidemic wave, from January to June 2020.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the French national database for all acute care hospital admissions (PMSI).

COVID-19 Impact on Stroke Admissions during France's First Epidemic Peak: An Exhaustive, Nationwide, Observational Study.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have great impacts on the care of non-COVID-19 patients. This was especially true during the first epidemic peak in France, which coincided with the national lockdown. The aim of this study was to identify whether a decrease in stroke admissions occurred in spring 2020, by analyzing the evolution of all stroke admissions in France from January 2019 to June 2020.

Risk factors of mortality among patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in a critical care or hospital care unit: analysis of the French national medicoadministrative database.

Objective: To explore mortality risk factors for patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in a critical care unit (CCU) or a hospital care unit (HCU).

Design: Retrospective cohort analysis using the French national () database.

Setting: Any public or private hospital in France.

Impact of COVID-19 and lockdown regarding blood transfusion.

Background: The outbreak of a SARS-CoV-2 resulted in a massive afflux of patients in hospital and intensive care units with many challenges. Blood transfusion was one of them regarding both blood banks (safety, collection, and stocks) and consumption (usual care and unknown specific demand of COVID-19 patients). The risk of mismatch was sufficient to plan blood transfusion restrictions if stocks became limited.

Use of adjuvant chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer in routine practice.

Background: For many years, surgery has been the standard treatment for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recent randomized trials demonstrated that cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy increases overall survival. The aim of this study was to analyze the precise use of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resected NSCLC in routine practice.
