Article Synopsis
- Acute appendicitis is a common emergency surgery, and this study examines its potential link to an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer afterwards in France.
- Researchers analyzed data from nearly 230,349 patients with acute appendicitis between 2010 and 2015 and compared them to a control group of 460,698 patients with trauma to ensure accuracy.
- The findings revealed that patients treated for appendicitis had a significantly higher risk of being diagnosed with colon cancer, particularly in the first year post-appendicitis, with a notable increase in risk for those under 40 and for right-sided colon cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Women who experienced hypertensive disorders during pregnancy showed a significantly increased risk of developing chronic hypertension and other cardiovascular issues after giving birth.
- The study analyzed over 2.2 million women, finding that the risk was notably higher in the first year post-pregnancy and gradually decreased over the next decade.
- Specifically, the risk of chronic hypertension was 18 times higher within the first year after preeclampsia compared to normotensive pregnancies, though it remained elevated for up to 10 years.
Cancers (Basel)
November 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how obesity impacts COVID-19 outcomes in cancer patients, looking specifically at ICU admissions, severe complications, and in-hospital mortality using data from French hospitals between March 2020 and February 2022.
- Among 992,899 cancer patients analyzed, 53,090 had COVID-19, with obese patients showing a higher likelihood of needing ICU care and experiencing severe complications regardless of obesity severity.
- While general obesity doesn't significantly raise the risk of in-hospital mortality, massive obesity increases this risk, especially for solid cancer patients without COVID-19 and hematological cancer patients with COVID-19, highlighting the need for extra caution with such patients.
