Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed lung cancer cases in France during the COVID-19 pandemic by comparing 2020-2021 data with pre-pandemic years (2013-2019), focusing on diagnosis and mortality rates.
- Findings revealed a 12% decrease in newly diagnosed lung cancer cases during the first wave of the pandemic, with a continued improvement in survival rates over time, even during the pandemic.
- The decrease in lung cancer incidences could be linked to undiagnosed patients who died due to COVID-19 or challenges in accessing healthcare, leading to excess mortality during this period.
We investigated the mortality patterns of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in France relative to a control population, comparing year 2020 to pre-pandemic years 2017-2019. COPD patient and sex, age and residence matched control cohorts were created from the French National Health Data System. Survival was analyzed using Cox regressions and standardized rates.

Corresponding consequences on persons with chronic diseases remain insufficiently documented. This observational cohort study investigated the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic period on the survival of kidney transplant recipients (KTR).

- A significant drop in hospitalizations for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) was noted in France during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, with monthly admissions decreasing from 8,899 to 6,032.
- The study found that in-hospital mortality for AECOPD increased from 6.2% to 7.6%, indicating worse outcomes for patients hospitalized during the pandemic.
- The data suggest that only a small percentage of AECOPD hospital stays were linked to COVID-19, but those with COVID-19 had nearly three times the mortality rate compared to those without it.
Introduction: Adolescents living with HIV are subject to multiple co-morbidities, including growth retardation and immunodeficiency. We describe growth and CD4 evolution during adolescence using data from the Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER) global project.
Methods: Data were collected between 1994 and 2015 from 11 CIPHER networks worldwide.
