Trends in the survival of very preterm infants between 2011 and 2020 in France.
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed
December 2024
Objective: The objective is to evaluate changes in survival to discharge of liveborn infants less than 32 weeks' gestational age (GA) in France, where the latest available data on very preterm survival at a national-level are from the EPIPAGE-2 cohort in 2011.
Design: Population-based cohort study.
Setting: Metropolitan France in 2011, 2015 and 2020.
A Novel Machine Learning Model to Predict Revision ACL Reconstruction Failure in the MARS Cohort.
Orthop J Sports Med
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study used machine learning techniques to analyze data from the Multicenter ACL Revision Study (MARS) to better understand factors influencing graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (rACLR).
- The researchers examined information from 960 patients over a 6-year period, discovering that 5.7% experienced graft failure, with the AutoPrognosis model showing the best prediction accuracy.
- Key factors affecting graft failure included the history of compromised femoral and tibial tunnels and the type of allograft used in the current surgery.
Progress has been made to scale oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as part of combination HIV prevention, with the WHO recommending differentiated, simplified and demedicalized approaches. This study explored user preferences for components of a PrEP service delivery package, through a discrete choice experiment (DCE) among 307 people accessing primary healthcare services in South Africa between November 2022 and February 2023. Attributes included were: Source of information about HIV prevention and PrEP; Site for PrEP initiation and follow-up; Frequency of follow-up; PrEP pick-up point; HIV testing whilst using PrEP; Contact between appointments.

Methods: We studied neurodevelopment at 2 years' CA of infants with NEC or SIP who were born before 32 WG from the EPIPAGE-2 cohort study. The primary outcome was death or the presence of moderate-to-severe motor or sensory disability defined by moderate-to-severe cerebral palsy or hearing or visual disability.
Objective: Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma mainly affects children. Excessive weight gain is a major long-term complication. The primary objective of this study was to assess long-term weight changes in children treated for craniopharyngioma.
