Prevalence and risk factors for burnout, missed nursing care, and intention-to-leave the job among intensive care unit and general ward nurses: A cross-sectional study across six European countries in the COVID-19 era.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of burnout, missed nursing care, and intention-to-leave the job among nurses working in general care units and intensive care units (ICUs), and to analyse the risk factors for these outcomes between the two groups.

Design: This was a cross-sectional study involving online surveys of nurses at participating hospitals conducted between November 2020 and July 2021 as part of the Magnet4Europe initiative.

Setting And Participants: A convenience sample was recruited, consisting of 67 acute care hospitals in 6 countries: Belgium, England, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden.

Effects of induced arterial hypertension for vasospasm on unruptured and unsecured cerebral aneurysms (growth and rupture). A retrospective case-control study.

Objectives: Unruptured cerebral aneurysms (UCAs) often coexist with the ruptured one but are typically left unsecured during the weeks following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We compared the rate of UCAs rupture or volume growth (≥5 mm) between patients exposed to induced arterial hypertension (iHTN) for vasospasm and those not exposed (control group).

Materials And Methods: From 2013 to 2021, we retrospectively included consecutive adult patients with aSAH who had ≥1 UCA.

Risk Factors for Spinal Cord Injury during Endovascular Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm: Review of the Literature and Proposal of a Prognostic Score.

Despite recent improvements, spinal cord ischemia remains the most feared and dramatic complication following extensive aortic repair. Although endovascular procedures are associated with a lower risk compared with open procedures, this risk is still significant and must be considered. A combined medical and surgical approach may help to optimize the tolerance of the spinal cord to ischemia.

Risk factors for poor performance in finger cuff non-invasive monitoring of arterial pressure: A prospective multicenter study.

Background: Compared to the invasive technique, non-invasive monitoring of arterial pressure favors easier and faster implementation while potentially sacrificing some reliability. This may be particularly true for the Clearsight™ system (Edwards Lifesciences), which enables continuous monitoring. We evaluated the risk factors for its poor performance.

Cerebral Vasospasm After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Respective Short-Term Effects of Induced Arterial Hypertension and its Combination With IV Milrinone: A Proof-of-Concept Study Using Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound.

Objectives: It is unclear whether IV milrinone relaxes spasmed cerebral arteries and therefore reduces cerebral blood mean velocity (V). In patients treated for cerebral vasospasm, we aimed to assess and delineate the respective impacts of induced hypertension and its combination with IV milrinone on cerebral hemodynamics as assessed with transcranial Doppler.

Design: Observational proof-of-concept prospective study.

Overview of the current use of levosimendan in France: a prospective observational cohort study.

Background: Following the results of randomized controlled trials on levosimendan, French health authorities requested an update of the current use and side-effects of this medication on a national scale.

Method: The France-LEVO registry was a prospective observational cohort study reflecting the indications, dosing regimens, and side-effects of levosimendan, as well as patient outcomes over a year.

Results: The patients included (n = 602) represented 29.

Factors Predicting Statin Initiation During Childhood in Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Importance of Genetic Diagnosis.

Objective: To identify childhood and parental factors associated with initiation of statin therapy in children with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), including underlying genetic diagnosis or parental premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

Study Design: This multicenter cohort study included 245 HeFH child-parent pairs from the REFERCHOL national register (2014-2020). Demographic and clinical characteristics at the last visit were collected.

Dunnigan lipodystrophy syndrome: French National Diagnosis and Care Protocol (PNDS; Protocole National de Diagnostic et de Soins).

Dunnigan syndrome, or Familial Partial Lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2; ORPHA 2348), is a rare autosomal dominant disorder due to pathogenic variants of the LMNA gene. The objective of the French National Diagnosis and Care Protocol (PNDS; Protocole National de Diagnostic et de Soins), is to provide health professionals with a guide to optimal management and care of patients with FPLD2, based on a critical literature review and multidisciplinary expert consensus. The PNDS, written by members of the French National Reference Center for Rare Diseases of Insulin Secretion and Insulin Sensitivity (PRISIS), is available on the French Health Authority website (in French).

Plasma apolipoprotein concentrations and incident diabetes in subjects with prediabetes.

Background: The identification of circulating biomarkers associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is useful for improving the current prevention strategies in the most at-risk patients. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of plasma apolipoprotein concentrations in prediabetes subjects with the incidence of new-onset T2D during follow-up.

Methods: In the IT-DIAB prospective study, 307 participants with impaired fasting glucose levels (fasting plasma glucose [FPG]: 110-125 mg/dL) were followed yearly for 5 years.

Clinical course and cost assessment of infants with a first episode of acute bronchiolitis presenting to the emergency department: Data from the GUERANDE clinical trial.

Introduction: Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospitalization for infants but its economic burden is not well documented. Our objective was to describe the clinical evolution and to assess the 1-month cost of a first episode of acute bronchiolitis presenting to the emergency department (ED).

Methods: Our study was an epidemiologic analysis and a cost study of the cohort drawn from the clinical trial GUERANDE, conducted in 24 French pediatric EDs.

Revised guidelines of the French Headache Society for the diagnosis and management of migraine in adults. Part 1: Diagnosis and assessment.

The French Headache Society proposes updated French guidelines for the management of migraine. The first part of these recommendations is focused on the diagnosis and assessment of migraine. First, migraine needs to be precisely diagnosed according to the currently validated criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3d version (ICHD-3).

Revised guidelines of the French headache society for the diagnosis and management of migraine in adults. Part 2: Pharmacological treatment.

The French Headache Society proposes updated French guidelines for the management of migraine. This article presents the second part of the guidelines, which is focused on the pharmacological treatment of migraine, including both the acute treatment of attacks and the prophylaxis of episodic migraine as well as chronic migraine with and without medication overuse. The specific situations that can be encountered in women with migraine are also discussed, including pregnancy, menstrual migraine, contraception and hormonal replacement therapy.

Revised guidelines of the French headache society for the diagnosis and management of migraine in adults. Part 3: Non-pharmacological treatment.

Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted on data about all consecutive patients treated for visceral artery pseudoaneurysms in the Interventional Radiology Unit of SS Annunziata Hospital, in Taranto (Italy) between January 2016 and July 2020. Only patients treated with NBCA-MS embolization were included.

Utilization of a training portfolio in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery: the example of the French platform-EPIFORM.

Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery requires learning both theoretical knowledge and technical skills. In this surgical field, several disparities exist between the different training programs around the world. This report describes the implementation of a portfolio in the teaching and assessment of French trainees in Thoracic and Cardiovascular surgery, following an electronic logbook model, aiming to improve the training program.
