Psychoactive substance intoxication leading to general hospital admission in young and middle-aged people during and after the first lockdown.

Introduction: Incidence of hospitalisations related to psychoactive substance (H-PS) intoxication has been strongly decreased during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic especially in young adult and French region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine was mostly concerned. This study aimed to describe (i) the incidence of H-PS in Bordeaux teaching hospital during and after the first 2020 lockdown in adults aged 18-29 years or 30+ then (ii) their characteristics specifically associated with the pandemic period by comparing 2020 with 2017-2019 baseline period.

Material And Methods: This historical cohort study was conducted in adults admitted to the Bordeaux teaching hospital with main or associated diagnosis codes of intoxication with benzodiazepine, methadone, buprenorphine, codeine, morphine, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and alcohol.

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).

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.

Appropriateness of psychotropic drug prescriptions in the elderly: structuring tools based on data extracted from the hospital information system to understand physician practices.

Background: The appropriateness of psychotropic prescriptions in the elderly is a major quality-of-care challenge at hospital. Quality indicators have been developed to prevent inappropriate psychotropic prescriptions. We aimed to select and automatically calculate such indicators, from the Bordeaux University Hospital information system, and to analyze the appropriateness of psychotropic prescription practices, in an observational study.

Diagnostic accuracy of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, codes of heart failure in an administrative database.

Purpose: Heart failure (HF) is a common, serious, and still poorly known illness, which might benefit from studies in claims databases. However, to provide reliable estimates, HF patients must be adequately identified. This validation study aimed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes I50.

Reliable assessment of the incidence of childhood autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Background: Childhood autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare and severe disease characterized by hemolysis and positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT). Few epidemiologic indicators are available for the pediatric population. The objective of our study was to reliably estimate the number of AIHA cases in the French Aquitaine region and the incidence of AIHA in patients under 18 years old.

Who Performs Lumbar Puncture, How Many Do They Perform, How and Why? A Retrospective Study of 6,594 Cases.

Background: The number and indications of lumbar punctures (LPs) performed nowadays are unknown. The primary aim of this work was to report the number of LPs performed in each of the departments of 2 French university hospitals, their indications and the prevalence of atraumatic spinal needles used.

Methods: We carried out a retrospective study of all the LPs performed in 2014.

Choice of ICD-10 codes for the identification of acute coronary syndrome in the French hospitalization database.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10(th) Edition) coding in the French hospitalization database (PMSI) to identify acute coronary syndrome (ACS) occurrence. Eligible hospitalizations were those that occurred at the Bordeaux teaching hospitals between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2011 and had one of the ICD-10 codes related to ischaemic heart diseases (I20 to I25, excluding I23 and I25.2).

[Impact of pathological review by an expert on the diagnosis and management of patients with cancer in Aquitania].

Aims: The goal of this work was to evaluate the impact of expert pathological second opinion on the diagnosis and management of patients with cancer, in a French region (Aquitaine) and with an economic point of view.

Material And Methods: The study was first quantitative, performed retrospectively on all cases of cancer, voluntary sent for a second opinion to an expert pathologist of two centers. Secondly, we restricted the study to lymphoid, melanocytic and soft tissue tumors sent for second opinion.

[An overview of the 2001-2002 cancer activity in the 30 French Regional and University Hospitals, based on PMSI data].

This study is intended to describe the cancer-related hospitalisations in the thirty French University and Regional Hospitals (CHR&U). The analysis is carried out on the years 2001 and 2002 databases and uses a relevant PMSI (Medicalisation Program Information System, the French DRG) data analysis program, which is an adapted version of the DAC (Cancer Activity Description) analysis program. Cases are selected from cancer-related diagnoses and procedures.

Transesophageal Pulsed Doppler echocardiography of pulmonary venous flow to assess left ventricular filling pressure in ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Objective: To determine whether the systolic fraction (SF) of the pulmonary venous flow (PVF), measured by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) could be used to estimate the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP).

Design: Prospective clinical investigation.

Patients: Nineteen intubated patients with ARDS.
