Trends in influenza vaccination and its determinants among pregnant French women between 2015 and 2020: A single-center study.

In 2016, only 7% of French women had received an influenza vaccination during their pregnancy. In this vaccine-averse country, the possibility of reaching the rates of 50% observed in other countries remains unknown. To measure the rate of influenza vaccination in a French university maternity.

Anti-fibrotic effect of adipose-derived stem cells on fibrotic scars.

Background: Sustained injury, through radiotherapy, burns or surgical trauma, can result in fibrosis, displaying an excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), persisting inflammatory reaction, and reduced vascularization. The increasing recognition of fibrosis as a cause for disease and mortality, and increasing use of radiotherapy causing fibrosis, stresses the importance of a decent anti-fibrotic treatment.

Aim: To obtain an in-depth understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying fibrosis, and more specifically, the potential mechanisms-of-action of adipose-derived stomal cells (ADSCs) in realizing their anti-fibrotic effect.

Effect of a postpartum prescription for pertussis vaccine: a before-and-after study.

Background: Among the strategies to encourage pregnant women to be vaccinated against pertussis in the postpartum period, that of giving them a prescription has been evaluated only sparsely.

Objective: To measure the effect of giving women who are not immunized against pertussis a prescription for the vaccine at discharge from the maternity unit.

Material And Methods: Single-center before-and-after study (2011: before; 2015: after).

Determinants of influenza vaccination uptake in pregnancy: a large single-Centre cohort study.

Background: Although vaccination of pregnant women against influenza is recommended, the vaccination rate remains low. We conducted a study to identify determinants of influenza vaccination uptake in pregnancy in order to identify strategies to improve seasonal influenza vaccination rates.

Methods: Prospective observational hospital-based study in the French hospital performing the highest number of deliveries, located in the city of Lille, among all women who had given birth during the 2014-2015 influenza season.

Postpartum endometritis accounts for 2% of postpartum infections in developed countries. In France, 2.3% of deaths are attributed to puerperal infections.
