A New Prognosis Score to Predict Mortality After Acute Pneumonia in Very Elderly Patients
International audience; Objectives: Acute pneumonia (AP) induces an excess of mortality among the elderly. We evaluated the value of a new predictive biomarker index compared to usual prognosis scores for predicting in-hospital and 1-year mortalities in elderly inpatients with AP.Design: Retrospective study in 6 clinical departments of a university hospital.Setting: Burgundy university hospital (France).Participants: All patients aged 75 and over with AP and hospitalized between January 1 and June 30, 2013, in the departments of medicine (5) and intensive care (1) of our university hospital.Measurements: A new index, which we named UBMo, was created by multiplying the uremia (U in the formu…
Impact of the Ageing Population on the Burden of Stroke: The Dijon Stroke Registry.
<b><i>Background:</i></b> We aimed to evaluate the impact of the ageing population on temporal trends in burden of stroke and to provide projections for the coming years. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Stroke cases (ischemic strokes, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages, or undetermined strokes) were prospectively identified between 1987 and 2015 in Dijon, France, using a population-based registry. Age-standardized incidence rates of first-ever and recurrent stroke were calculated, and their temporal trends were assessed using age- and sex-adjusted annual incidence rate ratios (RR). <b><i>Results:</i></b> The population of Dij…
Epidemiology of stroke in Europe and trends for the 21st century
International audience; Despite major improvements in primary prevention and acute treatment over the last decades, stroke is still a devastating disease. At the beginning of the 21st century, the age-standardized incidence of stroke in Europe ranged from 95 to 290/100,000 per year, with one-month case-fatality rates ranging from 13 to 35%. Approximately 1.1 million inhabitants of Europe suffered a stroke each year, and ischemic stroke accounted for approximately 80% of cases. Although global stroke incidence is declining, rates observed in young adults are on the rise, thus suggesting a need for strategies to improve prevention. In addition, because of the ageing population, the absolute n…
Temporal trends in the premorbid use of preventive treatments in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular events and a history of vascular disease: The Dijon Stroke Registry (1985–2010)
Although secondary prevention in patients with arterial vascular diseases has improved, a gap between recommendations and clinical practice may exist.We aimed to evaluate temporal trends in the premorbid use of preventive treatments in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular events (ICVE) and prior vascular disease.Patients with acute ICVE (ischemic stroke/TIA) were identified through the population-based stroke registry of Dijon, France (1985-2010). Only those with history of arterial vascular disease were included and were classified into four groups: patients with previous coronary artery disease only (CAD), previous peripheral artery disease only (PAD), previous ICVE only, and patients w…
Qualité de la surveillance de l’hémoglobine glyquée après un infarctus cérébral, un accident ischémique transitoire ou une hémorragie intra-cérébrale chez des patients diabétiques : une étude nationale
Introduction Chez les patients diabetiques, l’equilibre glycemique est un element cle de la prevention des accidents neuro-vasculaires, notamment de la recidive d’un infarctus cerebral (IC) et d’un accident ischemique transitoire (AIT). Notre etude s’interesse a l’association entre la survenue d’un IC, d’un AIT ou d’une hemorragie intra-cerebrale (HIC) et la realisation d’un suivi de l’HbA1c acceptable ou optimal selon les recommandations actuelles. Methodes Les patients diabetiques victimes d’un IC, d’un AIT ou d’une HIC en 2011 (exposes) ont ete identifies a partir des donnees du systeme national d’information interregimes de l’assurance maladie (Sniiram), et compares a un groupe de patie…
