How the presence of rhinoconjunctivitis and the severity of asthma modify the relationship between obesity and asthma in children 67 years old
2008
Summary Background The association between asthma and obesity in children, and the effect modification of allergy on this association have not been fully established. Aims The objective of the study was to know the effect modification of the severity of asthma and of the coexistence of rhinoconjunctivitis (RC) in the relationship between obesity and asthma. Methods A cross-sectional study of 17145 schoolchildren 6‐7 years old from eight Spanish cities who had completed information on height and weight of the ISAAC phase III questionnaire, which also included questions about asthma and RC symptoms and on various risk factors. Body mass index (BMI) was used to define obesity according to inte…
Adjusted population attributable fractions and preventable potential of risk factors for childhood obesity.
2007
AbstractObjectiveA number of individual risk factors for childhood obesity have been identified, but only some of these are amenable to prevention. To assess the amount of cases in a general population attributable to these risk factors, adjusted population-attributable fractions were estimated.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingObligatory school entry examination in 2001/2002 in six Bavarian communities (Germany).Subjects5472 children at age 5–6 years.MeasuresAnthropometric measures were ascertained by public health nurses, and measures concerning sociodemographics, lifestyle and child behaviour such as child's daily meal frequency were obtained with self-administered parental questionnair…
Variations in acute stroke care and the impact of organised care on survival from a European perspective: the European Registers of Stroke (EROS) inv…
2013
Background The need for stroke care is escalating with an ageing population, yet methods to estimate the delivery of effective care across countries are not standardised or robust. Associations between quality and intensity of care and stroke outcomes are often assumed but have not been clearly demonstrated. Objective To examine variations in acute care processes across six European populations and investigate associations between the delivery of care and survival. Methods Data were obtained from population-based stroke registers of six centres in France, Lithuania, UK, Spain, Poland and Italy between 2004 and 2006 with follow-up for 1 year. Variations in the delivery of care (stroke unit, …
In-hospital death according to dementia diagnosis in acutely ill elderly patients: the REPOSI study.
2011
The aim of the study was to explore the association of dementia with in-hospital OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to explore the association of dementia with in-hospital death in acutely ill medical patients. METHODS: Thirty-four internal medicine and 4 geriatric wards in Italy participated in the Registro Politerapie SIMI-REPOSI-study during 2008. One thousand three hundred and thirty two in-patients aged 65 years or older were enrolled. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association of dementia with in-hospital death. Socio-demographic characteristics, morbidity (single diseases and the Charlson Index), number of drugs, and adverse clinical events during hospitalizatio…
Hospitalization Within the First Year After Stroke
2014
Background and Purpose— This population-based study aimed to identify unplanned hospitalization within the first year after stroke to determine factors associated with it and consequences on survival. Methods— All first-ever acute strokes occurring in Dijon, France, from 2009 to 2011, were prospectively collected from a population-based registry. Demographics and clinical data, including stroke severity measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and disability after stroke, were recorded. For each patient, the first unplanned hospitalization that occurred within 1 year after stroke was retrieved by linking data with the national French Hospital Discharge Database. Predictor…
Balance Confidence and Functional Balance in Relation to Falls in Older Persons with Hip Fracture History
2007
PURPOSE: To investigate whether self-assessed balance confidence and functional balance are associated with falls in older persons with hip fracture history. METHODS: This study is a part of a larger study on functional capacity and exercise rehabilitation in hip fracture patients. Seventy-nine patients, operated at the local hospital for collum or trochanter fracture within one-half to 7 years, participated in the laboratory measurements. Balance confidence was assessed with Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC) and functional balance using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). According to self-reported number of falls during the previous 6 months participants were classified as thos…
Pressure ulcers’ incidence, preventive measures, and risk factors in neonatal intensive care and intermediate care units
2018
Epidemiological studies on pressure ulcers (PUs) in hospitalised infants are scarce. Spain lacks comprehensive research studies providing data on the prevalence or incidence in this population. This work was developed to determine the incidence of PUs in hospitalised infants admitted to intensive and intermediate care units, along with relevant risk factors and preventive measures. A prospective study appraising the incidence of PUs in infants was performed. The risk factors and preventive measures were evaluated using a multivariate logistic regression model. A sample of 268 infants was included. The cumulative incidence of PUs was 12.70% (95% confidence interval, CI(95%) = [8.95%‐17.28%])…
Increasing early ambulation disability in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage survivors
2017
ObjectiveTo evaluate temporal trends in early ambulatory status in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsAll patients with ICH between 1985 and 2011 were prospectively registered in a population-based registry in Dijon, France, and included in the study. Outcomes of ICH survivors were assessed at discharge from their stay in an acute care ward with the use of a 4-grade ambulation scale. Time trends in ambulation disability and place of discharge were analyzed in 3 periods (1985–1993, 1994–2002, and 2003–2011). Multivariable ordinal and logistic regression models were applied.ResultsFive hundred thirty-one patients with ICH were registered, of whom 200 (37.7%) died …
iScore for predicting institutional care after ischemic stroke: a population-based study.
2015
Background We assessed whether the iScore could predict the need for poststroke institutional care. Methods Patients with acute ischemic stroke living in Dijon, France, were recorded between 2006 and 2011, using a population-based stroke registry. The iScore was calculated for each patient. A logistic regression model was used to assess the performance of the iScore for predicting the need for placement in a care institution. The discrimination and calibration of the model were assessed using the c statistic and the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, respectively. Results Of the 1199 patients recorded, 124 were excluded because of early death and 95 because of missing for variables inclu…
