Estimating the burden of influenza-attributable severe acute respiratory infections on the hospital system in Metropolitan France, 2012-2018.

Background: To date, estimating the burden of seasonal influenza on the hospital system in France has been restricted to influenza diagnoses in patients (estimated hospitalization rate of 35/100,000 on average from 2012 to 2018). However, many hospitalizations for diagnosed respiratory infections (e.g.

Risk scores for prediction of 30-day mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: Results from a two-center study in Norway.

Objectives: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)-specific risk scores have been developed based on large registry studies. Our aim was to evaluate how both surgical and novel TAVI risk scores performed in predicting all cause 30-day mortality. In addition, we wanted to explore the validity of our own previously developed model in a separate and more recent cohort.

Update and, internal and temporal-validation of the FRANCE-2 and ACC-TAVI early-mortality prediction models for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) using data from the Netherlands heart registration (NHR).

Background: The predictive performance of the models FRANCE-2 and ACC-TAVI for early-mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) can decline over time and can be enhanced by updating them on new populations. We aim to update and internally and temporally validate these models using a recent TAVI-cohort from the Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR).

Methods: We used data of TAVI-patients treated in 2013-2017.

Short- and medium-term survival after TAVI: Clinical predictors and the role of the FRANCE-2 score.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the value of the FRANCE-2 score in associating with clinical outcome in the medium and short-term after TAVI and to compare its relative merits with other risk score models.

Methods: 187 consecutive patients undergoing TAVI in a single UK centre were retrospectively studied. The FRANCE-2, logistic EuroSCORE, EuroSCORE II, German AV and STS/ACC TVT risk scores were calculated retrospectively and c-statistics associating with mortality were applied.

Better Destination Memory in Females.

Destination memory refers to the ability to remember to whom one has sent information. The current study investigated gender differences in destination memory. Female and male participants were asked to tell proverbs to pictures depicting faces of female and male celebrities.

Risk modeling in transcatheter aortic valve replacement remains unsolved: an external validation study in 2946 German patients.

Background: Surgical risk prediction models are routinely used to guide decision-making for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). New and updated TAVR-specific models have been developed to improve risk stratification; however, the best option remains unknown.

Objective: To perform a comparative validation study of six risk models for the prediction of 30-day mortality in TAVR METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 2946 patients undergoing transfemoral (TF, n = 2625) or transapical (TA, n = 321) TAVR from 2008 to 2018 from the German Rhine Transregio Aortic Diseases cohort were included.

Successful linkage of French large-scale national registry populations to national reimbursement data: Improved data completeness and minimized loss to follow-up.

Background: Registries, a cornerstone of contemporary medicine, frequently suffer from incomplete documentation and losses to follow-up. By linking data to a single-payer national claims database, national registries may be enriched and the quality enhanced.

Aims: To explore the value of data from the French Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS) as a resource to enhance the quality of registries when combined with data from electronic case report forms, and to assess the power to minimize data gaps and losses to follow-up.

Singles and Faces: High Recognition for Female Faces in Single Males.

A substantial body of research has assessed the effect of gender on face recognition; however, little is known about the effect of relationship status on face recognition. In this study, we assessed for the first time how relationship status impacts face recognition by asking 62 male and female participants to decide whether they had previously encountered faces of males and females. Participants were also asked to fill a socio-demographic variables questionnaire which included, among other information, question about their relationship status (i.

External validation of existing prediction models of 30-day mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in the Netherlands Heart Registration.

Background: Several mortality prediction models (MPM) are used for predicting early (30-day) mortality following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Little is known about their predictive performance in external TAVI populations. We aim to externally validate established MPMs on a large TAVI dataset from the Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR).

France has 6 million immigrants of which 1.8 million are French, and there are 200 000 legal new arrivals in France each year. Migrants, immigrants, foreigners, new arrivals, asylum seekers, exiles, 'undocumented' migrants are some of the terms used to refer to them and which imply different realities, people and statuses.

Impact of post-procedural glycemic variability on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a post hoc cohort analysis.

Background: Glycemic variability is associated with worse outcomes after cardiac surgery, but the prognosis value of early glycemic variability after transcatheter aortic valve implantation is not known. This study was therefore designed to analyze the prognosis significance of post-procedural glycemic variability within 30 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Methods: A post hoc analysis of patients from our center included in the FRANCE and FRANCE-2 registries was conducted.

Five-Year Clinical Outcome and Valve Durability After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in High-Risk Patients.

Background: The FRANCE-2 registry (French Aortic National Corevalve and Edwards) previously reported good early- and medium-term clinical and echocardiographic efficacy for transcatheter aortic valve replacement. We here report 5-year follow-up results from the registry.

Methods: The registry includes all consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis in France.

Common Cognitive Control Processes Underlying Performance in Task-Switching and Dual-Task Contexts.

In the present study, participants performed highly comparable task-switching and dual-task paradigms, and the paradigm-specific performance costs were analysed in the context of the commonly postulated core components of cognitive control (i.e., working memory updating, inhibition, and shifting).

Comparison of multiparametric risk scores for predicting early mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Introduction: Surgical risk scores are widely used to identify patients at high surgical risk who may benefit from transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). A multiparametric TAVI mortality risk score based on a French registry (FRANCE-2) has recently been developed. The aim of our study was to compare the 30-day mortality prediction performance of the FRANCE-2, EuroSCORE II and STS scores.

Impact of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Insights from the FRANCE-2 registry.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, the impact of CAD distribution before TAVR on short- and long-term prognosis remains unclear.

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the long-term clinical impact differs according to CAD distribution in patients undergoing TAVR using the FRench Aortic National CoreValve and Edwards (FRANCE-2) registry.

Inadequacy of existing clinical prediction models for predicting mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Background: The performance of emerging transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) clinical prediction models (CPMs) in national TAVI cohorts distinct from those where they have been derived is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the performance of the German Aortic Valve, FRANCE-2, OBSERVANT and American College of Cardiology (ACC) TAVI CPMs compared with the performance of historic cardiac CPMs such as the EuroSCORE and STS-PROM, in a large national TAVI registry.

Methods: The calibration and discrimination of each CPM were analyzed in 6676 patients from the UK TAVI registry, as a whole cohort and across several subgroups.

Late Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in High-Risk Patients: The FRANCE-2 Registry.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized management of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, survival and the incidence of severe complications have been assessed in relatively small populations and/or with limited follow-up.

Objectives: This report details late clinical outcome and its determinants in the FRANCE-2 (FRench Aortic National CoreValve and Edwards) registry.

Mortality prediction following transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A quantitative comparison of risk scores derived from populations treated with either surgical or percutaneous aortic valve replacement. The Israeli TAVR Registry Risk Model Accuracy Assessment (IRRMA) study.

Background: Accurate risk stratification is pivotal for appropriate selection of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis for either surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We sought to determine whether recent risk prediction models developed specifically in TAVR patients enhance prognostication in comparison with previous surgical scores used in clinical practice (EuroScore I, EuroScore II, STS).

Methods: The Israeli TAVR Registry Risk Model Accuracy Assessment (IRRMA) study utilized a multicenter prospective TAVR database (n=1327) to perform a quantitative comparison between previous risk scores developed in either surgical or TAVR populations, with the present registry serving as an independent external validation set.

Baseline Characteristics and Prognostic Implications of Pre-Existing and New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Results From the FRANCE-2 Registry.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with pre-existing atrial fibrillation (AF) and of patients who presented with new-onset AF after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Background: Little is known regarding the impact of AF after TAVI.

Methods: The FRANCE-2 registry included all patients undergoing TAVI (N = 3,933) in France in 2010 and 2011.

Ventricular conduction defects after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a single-institute analysis.

Patients with aortic stenosis tend to develop ventricular conduction problems, which are known adverse events following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Changes in ventricular conduction status after TAVI were analyzed in 195 consecutive patients from a single institute registered in FRANCE2 between February 2010 and June 2012. Among the 195 patients, 29 had a prior pacemaker implantation (+PM) and 6 had acute catastrophic hemodynamics that made a full electrocardiogram (ECG) unavailable.

Comparison of outcomes after one-versus-two transcatheter aortic valve implantation during a same procedure (from the FRANCE2 Registry).

Analysis of the causes, outcomes, and mortality of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis requiring the implantation of 2 valves during transcatheter aortic valve implantation was conducted from the French Aortic National CoreValve and Edwards 2 (FRANCE2) registry. Pre- and postprocedural data from 3,919 patients from January 2010 to December 2011 (CoreValve or Edwards) were collated and analyzed. Characteristics of patients requiring immediate second valve procedures were compared with those of the other patients.
