RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In spite of major effectiveness, a residual risk after COVID-19 primary vaccination was identified, in particular, for vulnerable individuals of advanced age or with comorbidities. Less is known about the Omicron period in people protected by a booster dose. We aimed to identify the characteristics associated with severe COVID-19 during the Omicron period in a population that had received a booster dose in France and to compare differences with the previous periods of the pandemic. METHODS: This study was carried out using the French national COVID-19 vaccination database (VAC-SI) coupled with the National Health Data System (SNDS). Individuals aged 12 years or over who received at least one booster dose were identified. Associations between socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and the risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation occurring at least 14 days after receiving a third dose of vaccine during the period of Omicron predominance, i.e., from 1 January 2022 to 10 November 2022, were assessed using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for age, sex, time since booster dose and vaccination schedule. Analyses were performed overall and by sub-period of circulation of the strains BA.1, BA.2, and BA.4/BA.5, defined as periods where the main sub-variant accounted for more than 80 % of genotyped samples. FINDINGS: In total, 35,640,387 individuals received a booster dose (mean follow-up of 291 days) and 73,989 were hospitalised for COVID-19 during the total period. Older age (aHR 20.5 95 % CI [19.6-21.5] for 90 years of age or older versus 45-54 years of age), being male (aHR 1.52 [1.50-1.55]), and social deprivation (aHR 1.33 [1.30-1.37] for the most deprived areas versus the least deprived) were associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation for COVID-19. Most of the chronic diseases considered were also positively associated with a residual risk, in particular, cystic fibrosis (aHR 9.83 [7.68-12.56]), active lung cancer (aHR 3.26 [3.06-3.47]), chronic dialysis (aHR 3.79 [3.49-4.11]), psychological and neurodegenerative diseases (more markedly than during the periods of circulation of the alpha and delta variants), and organ transplantation. The use of immunosuppressants was also associated with an increased risk (aHR 2.24 [2.14-2.35], including oral corticosteroids aHR (2.58 [2.50-2.67]). CONCLUSION: Despite an effective booster and a generally less virulent circulating variant, a residual risk of severe COVID-19 still exists in vulnerable populations, especially those with neurological disorders.

RESUMEN

AIM OF THE STUDY: The French National Health Data System (SNDS) comprises healthcare data that cover 99% of the population (over 67 million individuals) in France. The aim of this study was to present an overview of published pharmacoepidemiological studies using the SNDS in its maturation phase. METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature review of original research articles in the Pubmed and EMBASE databases from January 2012 until August 2018. RESULTS: A total of 316 full-text articles were included, with an annual increase over the study period. Only 16 records were excluded after screening because they did not involve the SNDS but other French healthcare databases. The study design was clearly reported in only 66% of studies of which 57% were retrospective cohorts and 22% cross-sectional studies. The reported study objectives were drug utilization (65%), safety (22%) and effectiveness (9%). Almost all ATC groups were studied but the most frequent ones concerned the nervous system in 149 studies (49%), cardiovascular system drugs in 104 studies (34%) and anti-infectives for systemic use in 50 studies (16%). CONCLUSION: The SNDS is of growing interest for studies on drug use and safety, which could be conducted more in specific populations, including children, pregnant women and the elderly, as these populations are often not included in clinical trials.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To compare the risk of gastrointestinal perforation (GIP), a rare but serious adverse event, in patients who a JAK inhibitor (JAKi; tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, or filgotinib) versus adalimumab (tumor necrosis factor inhibitor) among a comprehensive real-world population of patients with rheumatic diseases. METHODS: We conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study of the French national health data system, the exposed group that received a JAKi and the comparison group adalimumab. We included all individuals with a rheumatic disease who had their first dispensation of these treatments from July 2017 to December 2021. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of GIP (end of follow-up May 2022). Weighted hazard ratios (wHRs) were estimated with the inverse probability of treatment weighting method to account for confounding factors. Concomitant administration of systemic glucocorticoids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and proton-pump inhibitors were time-varying variables. RESULTS: The cohort included 39,758 patients: 12,335 and 27,423 in the groups that received a JAKi and adalimumab (mean age 58.2 and 47.3 years; female 76% and 58%; rheumatoid arthritis 85.3% and 27.3%, and psoriatic arthritis/axial spondyloarthritis 14.7% and 72.7%), respectively. During follow-up, 38 and 42 GIPs occurred in the groups that received a JAKi and adalimumab groups; incidence rates were 2.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.5-2.8) and 1.1 (95% CI 0.8-1.5) per 1,000 person-years, respectively. Rates of GIP did not differ between the groups that received a JAKi and adalimumab: wHR 1.1 (95% CI 0.7-1.9; P = 0.65). Despite the lack of power in some subgroup analyses, results were consistent whatever the subgroup of a type of JAKi received or subgroup with a type of rheumatic disease. CONCLUSION: In this nationwide cohort study, the rates of GIPs did not differ between groups of patients who received JAKi and adalimumab treatment. These results need to be confirmed in other observational studies.

RESUMEN

Background: Nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC) is a synthetic potent progestogen. This study aimed to assess the risk of intracranial meningioma associated with the prolonged use of NOMAC. Methods: Observational cohort study using SNDS data (France). Women included had ≥ one dispensing of NOMAC between 2007 and 2017 (no dispensing in 2006). Exposure was defined as a cumulative dose >150 mg NOMAC within six months after first dispensing. A control group of women (cumulative dose ≤150 mg) was assembled. The outcome was surgery (resection or decompression) or radiotherapy for one or more intracranial meningioma(s). Poisson models assessed the relative risk (RR) of meningioma. Findings: In total, 1,060,779 women were included in the cohort (535,115 in the exposed group and 525,664 in the control group). The incidence of meningioma in the two groups was 19.3 and 7.0 per 100,000 person-years, respectively (age-adjusted RRa = 2.9 [2.4-3.7]). The RRa for a cumulative dose of more than 6 g NOMAC was 12.0 [9.9-16.0]. In the event of treatment discontinuation for at least one year, the risk of meningioma was identical to that in the control group (RRa = 1.0 [0.8-1.3]). The location of meningiomas in the anterior and middle part of the skull base was more frequent with exposure to NOMAC. Interpretation: We observed a strong dose-dependent association between prolonged use of NOMAC and the risk of intracranial meningiomas. These results are comparable to those obtained for cyproterone acetate, although the magnitude of the risk is lower. It is now recommended to stop using NOMAC if a meningioma is diagnosed. Funding: The French National Health Insurance Fund (Cnam) and the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) via the Health Product Epidemiology Scientific Interest Group EPI-PHARE.

RESUMEN

Importance: Cancer is a leading cause of death among children worldwide. Treatments used for medically assisted reproduction (MAR) are suspected risk factors because of their potential for epigenetic disturbance and associated congenital malformations. Objective: To assess the risk of cancer, overall and by cancer type, among children born after MAR compared with children conceived naturally. Design, Setting, and Participants: For this cohort study, the French National Mother-Child Register (EPI-MERES) was searched for all live births that occurred in France between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2021 (and followed up until June 30, 2022). The EPI-MERES was built from comprehensive data of the French National Health Data System. Data analysis was performed from December 1, 2021, to June 30, 2023. Exposure: Use of assisted reproduction technologies (ART), such as fresh embryo transfer (ET) or frozen ET (FET), and artificial insemination (AI). Main Outcomes and Measures: The risk of cancer was compared, overall and by cancer type, among children born after fresh ET, FET, or AI and children conceived naturally, using Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusted for maternal and child characteristics at birth. Results: This study included 8 526 306 children with a mean (SD) age of 6.4 (3.4) years; 51.2% were boys, 96.4% were singletons, 12.1% were small for gestational age at birth, and 3.1% had a congenital malformation. There were 260 236 children (3.1%) born after MAR, including 133 965 (1.6%) after fresh ET, 66 165 (0.8%) after FET, and 60 106 (0.7%) after AI. A total of 9256 case patients with cancer were identified over a median follow-up of 6.7 (IQR, 3.7-9.6) years; 165, 57, and 70 were born after fresh ET, FET, and AI, respectively. The overall risk of cancer did not differ between children conceived naturally and those born after fresh ET (hazard ratio [HR], 1.12 [95% CI, 0.96 to 1.31]), FET (HR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.78 to 1.32]), or AI (HR, 1.09 [95% CI, 0.86 to 1.38]). However, the risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia was higher among children born after FET (20 case patients; HR 1.61 [95% CI, 1.04 to 2.50]; risk difference [RD], 23.2 [95% CI, 1.5 to 57.0] per million person-years) compared with children conceived naturally. Moreover, among children born between 2010 and 2015, the risk of leukemia was higher among children born after fresh ET (45 case patients; HR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.06 to 1.92]; adjusted RD, 19.7 [95% CI, 2.8 to 43.2] per million person-years). Conclusions and Relevance: The findings of this cohort study suggest that children born after FET or fresh ET had an increased risk of leukemia compared with children conceived naturally. This risk, although resulting in a limited number of cases, needs to be monitored in view of the continuous increase in the use of ART.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To assess the risk of intracranial meningioma associated with the use of selected progestogens. DESIGN: National case-control study. SETTING: French National Health Data System (ie, Système National des Données de Santé). PARTICIPANTS: Of 108 366 women overall, 18 061 women living in France who had intracranial surgery for meningioma between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2018 (restricted inclusion periods for intrauterine systems) were deemed to be in the case group. Each case was matched to five controls for year of birth and area of residence (90 305 controls). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Selected progestogens were used: progesterone, hydroxyprogesterone, dydrogesterone, medrogestone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, promegestone, dienogest, and intrauterine levonorgestrel. For each progestogen, use was defined by at least one dispensation within the year before the index date (within three years for 13.5 mg levonorgestrel intrauterine systems and five years for 52 mg). Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio for each progestogen meningioma association. RESULTS: Mean age was 57.6 years (standard deviation 12.8). Analyses showed excess risk of meningioma with use of medrogestone (42 exposed cases/18 061 cases (0.2%) v 79 exposed controls/90 305 controls (0.1%), odds ratio 3.49 (95% confidence interval 2.38 to 5.10)), medroxyprogesterone acetate (injectable, 9/18 061 (0.05%) v 11/90 305 (0.01%), 5.55 (2.27 to 13.56)), and promegestone (83/18 061 (0.5%) v 225/90 305 (0.2 %), 2.39 (1.85 to 3.09)). This excess risk was driven by prolonged use (≥one year). Results showed no excess risk of intracranial meningioma for progesterone, dydrogesterone, or levonorgestrel intrauterine systems. No conclusions could be drawn concerning dienogest or hydroxyprogesterone because of the small number of individuals who received these drugs. A highly increased risk of meningioma was observed for cyproterone acetate (891/18 061 (4.9%) v 256/90 305 (0.3%), odds ratio 19.21 (95% confidence interval 16.61 to 22.22)), nomegestrol acetate (925/18 061 (5.1%) v 1121/90 305 (1.2%), 4.93 (4.50 to 5.41)), and chlormadinone acetate (628/18 061 (3.5%) v 946/90 305 (1.0%), 3.87 (3.48 to 4.30)), which were used as positive controls for use. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged use of medrogestone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and promegestone was found to increase the risk of intracranial meningioma. The increased risk associated with the use of injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate, a widely used contraceptive, and the safety of levonorgestrel intrauterine systems are important new findings.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Parent vessel occlusion (PVO) is a time-honored treatment for unclippable or uncoilable intracranial aneurysms. Flow diversion (FD) is a recent endovascular alternative that can occlude the aneurysm and spare the parent blood vessel. Our aim was to compare outcomes of FD with endovascular PVO. METHODS: This is a prespecified treatment subgroup analysis of the Flow diversion in Intracranial Aneurysms trial (FIAT). FIAT was an investigator-led parallel-group all-inclusive pragmatic randomized trial. For each patient, clinicians had to prespecify an alternative management option to FD before stratified randomization. We report all patients for whom PVO was selected as the best alternative treatment to FD. The primary outcome was a composite of core-lab determined angiographic occlusion or near-occlusion at 3-12 months combined with an independent clinical outcome (mRS<3). Primary analyses were intent-to-treat. There was no blinding. RESULTS: There were 45 patients (16.2% of the 278 FIAT patients randomized between 2011 and 2020 in 3 centers): 22 were randomly allocated to FD and 23 to PVO. Aneurysms were mainly large or giant (mean 22 mm) anterior circulation (mainly carotid) aneurysms. A poor primary outcome was reached in 11/22 FD (50.0%) compared to 9/23 PVO patients (39.1%) (RR: 1.28, 95% CI [0.66-2.47]; P = 0.466). Morbidity (mRS >2) at 1 year occurred in 4/22 FD and 6/23 PVO patients. Angiographic results and serious adverse events were similar. CONCLUSIONS: The comparison between PVO and FD was inconclusive. More randomized trials are needed to better determine the role of FD in large aneurysms eligible for PVO.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of nonaneurysmal perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (NAPSAH) on Noncontrast Head CT (NCCT) between numerous raters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 45 NCCT of adult patients with SAH who also had a catheter angiography (CA) were independently evaluated by 48 diverse raters; 45 raters performed a second assessment one month later. For each case, raters were asked: 1) whether they judged the bleeding pattern to be perimesencephalic; 2) whether there was blood anterior to brainstem; 3) complete filling of the anterior interhemispheric fissure (AIF); 4) extension to the lateral part of the sylvian fissure (LSF); 5) frank intraventricular hemorrhage; 6) whether in the hypothetical presence of a negative CT angiogram they would still recommend CA. An automatic NAPSAH diagnosis was also generated by combining responses to questions 2-5. Reliability was estimated using Gwet's AC1 (κG), and the relationship between the NCCT diagnosis of NAPSAH and the recommendation to perform CA using Cramer's V test. Multi-rater accuracy of NCCT in predicting negative CA was explored. RESULTS: Inter-rater reliability for the presence of NAPSAH was moderate (κG = 0.58; 95%CI: 0.47, 0.69), but improved to substantial when automatically generated (κG = 0.70; 95%CI: 0.59, 0.81). The most reliable criteria were the absence of AIF filling (κG = 0.79) and extension to LSF (κG = 0.79). Mean intra-rater reliability was substantial (κG = 0.65). NAPSAH weakly correlated with CA decision (V = 0.50). Mean sensitivity and specificity were 58% (95%CI: 44%, 71%) and 83 % (95%CI: 72 %, 94%), respectively. CONCLUSION: NAPSAH remains a diagnosis of exclusion. The NCCT diagnosis was moderately reliable and its impact on clinical decisions modest.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Limited data are available on the consequences of prenatal exposure to vedolizumab and ustekinumab. We aimed to compare the safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab with that of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in pregnant women with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). METHODS: Using nationwide, comprehensive data of the EPI-MERES registry, we identified pregnancies in women with IBD in France, exposed to anti-TNF, vedolizumab, and ustekinumab between 2014 and 2021. We compared pregnancy outcomes and complications in the offspring according to treatment exposure during pregnancy. We applied a propensity score matching for maternal, IBD, and pregnancy characteristics. RESULTS: Three hundred ninety-eight pregnancies exposed to vedolizumab were compared with 1592 pregnancies exposed to anti-TNF; 464 pregnancies exposed to ustekinumab were compared with 1856 pregnancies exposed to anti-TNF. Overall, compared with anti-TNF, neither vedolizumab nor ustekinumab was associated with increased risks of abortion, caesarean section, stillbirth, preterm birth, serious infections, malignancies, or congenital abnormality in children. Women exposed to ustekinumab had an increased risk of small for gestational age births. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab compared with anti-TNF use during pregnancy is reassuring. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Early postpartum glucose screening of women with hyperglycaemia in pregnancy (HIP) can identify women who have the highest risk of developing impaired glucose tolerance and T2DM. This study examines the association between demographics, events during pregnancy, socioeconomic status and postpartum T2DM screening. METHODS: Using the French National Health Data System, this cross-sectional study included all deliveries where the mother had HIP in France in 2015, (n = 76,862). The odds ratio (OR) for attending postpartum screening was calculated via multi-level logistic regression. RESULTS: T2DM screening uptake at six months postpartum was 42·9% [95 % Confidence Interval: 42·6-43·3]. Several characteristics were associated with lower uptake: living in the most deprived area(OR = 0·78[0·74-0·83]); being < 25 years-old (reference age group 25-29;≤17: 0.53 [0·31-0·90];18-24: 0.73[0·69-0·78]); smoking (0·65[0·62-0·68]); obesity (0·93[0·89-0·97]); caesarean delivery (0·95[0·92-0·99]). Factors associated with higher uptake included primiparity (1·30[1·26-1·34]); having followed the French recommendations for HIP screening (1·24[1·20-1·28]); insulin prescription (1·75[1·69-1·81]) and pre-eclampsia (1·30[1·19-1·42]). p < 0.01 is justified due to sample size. CONCLUSION: Improving identification of factors affecting postpartum T2DM screening uptake, such as demographics, socioeconomic context and events during pregnancy, may lead to development of target interventions to aide adherence to screening regime and thereby diagnosis of women with prediabetes or diabetes, for whom secondary and tertiary prevention is crucial.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affect women of childbearing age. The management of patients with RA during pregnancy has evolved over the past decades, especially with the availability of new therapeutic molecules. OBJECTIVES: To describe pregnancy in women with RA, to compare pregnancy outcomes with those of women in the general population and to compare pregnancy outcomes in women with active and inactive RA. METHODS: Using the French National Health Data System, we identified all pregnancies ending between 2010 and 2020 in patients with and without RA. Characteristics were described. Active RA was defined by conventional synthetic/biological/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug initiation, systemic or intra-articular corticosteroid administration and/or RA-related hospitalisation. Pregnancy outcomes were compared computing multivariable logistic marginal regression model using generalised estimating equation (GEE). RESULTS: We included 11 792 RA and 10 413 681 non-RA pregnancies. Among RA pregnancies, 74.5% ended in live births and 0.4% in stillbirths. RA pregnancies resulted more frequently in preterm births (adjusted OR (ORa) 1.84; 95% CI 1.69 to 2.00) and very preterm births (ORa 1.43; 95% CI 1.20 to 1.71), low birth weight (ORa 1.65; 95% CI: 1.52 to 1.90), caesarean section (ORa 1.46; 95% CI 1.38 to 1.55) and pregnancy-related hospitalisation (ORa 1.30; 95% CI 1.22 to 1.39). Disease activity decreased during pregnancy. Active RA had higher rates of prematurity (ORa 2.02; 95% CI 1.71 to 2.38), small for gestational age (ORa 1.53; 95% CI 1.28 to 1.83) and caesarean section (ORa 1.25; 95% CI 1.11 to 1.40) than non-active RA. CONCLUSION: Pregnancies in women with RA were associated with more adverse outcomes, especially if the disease was active. These findings should encourage physicians to closely monitor RA during this crucial period.

RESUMEN

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to assess maternal-fetal outcomes according to various subtypes of hyperglycaemia in pregnancy. METHODS: We used data from the French National Health Data System (Système National des Données de Santé), which links individual data from the hospital discharge database and the French National Health Insurance information system. We included all deliveries after 22 gestational weeks (GW) in women without pre-existing diabetes recorded in 2018. Women with hyperglycaemia were classified as having overt diabetes in pregnancy or gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), then categorised into three subgroups according to their gestational age at the time of GDM diagnosis: before 22 GW (GDM<22); between 22 and 30 GW (GDM22-30); and after 30 GW (GDM>30). Adjusted prevalence ratios (95% CI) for the outcomes were estimated after adjusting for maternal age, gestational age and socioeconomic status. Due to the multiple tests, we considered an association to be statistically significant according to the Holm-Bonferroni procedure. To take into account the potential immortal time bias, we performed analyses on deliveries at ≥31 GW and deliveries at ≥37 GW. RESULTS: The study population of 695,912 women who gave birth in 2018 included 84,705 women (12.2%) with hyperglycaemia in pregnancy: overt diabetes in pregnancy, 0.4%; GDM<22, 36.8%; GDM22-30, 52.4%; and GDM>30, 10.4%. The following outcomes were statistically significant after Holm-Bonferroni adjustment for deliveries at ≥31 GW using GDM22-30 as the reference. Caesarean sections (1.54 [1.39, 1.72]), large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants (2.00 [1.72, 2.32]), Erb's palsy or clavicle fracture (6.38 [2.42, 16.8]), preterm birth (1.84 [1.41, 2.40]) and neonatal hypoglycaemia (1.98 [1.39, 2.83]) were more frequent in women with overt diabetes. Similarly, LGA infants (1.10 [1.06, 1.14]) and Erb's palsy or clavicle fracture (1.55 [1.22, 1.99]) were more frequent in GDM<22. LGA infants (1.44 [1.37, 1.52]) were more frequent in GDM>30. Finally, women without hyperglycaemia in pregnancy were less likely to have preeclampsia or eclampsia (0.74 [0.69, 0.79]), Caesarean section (0.80 [0.79, 0.82]), pregnancy and postpartum haemorrhage (0.93 [0.89, 0.96]), LGA neonate (0.67 [0.65, 0.69]), premature neonate (0.80 [0.77, 0.83]) and neonate with neonatal hypoglycaemia (0.73 [0.66, 0.82]). Overall, the results were similar for deliveries at ≥37 GW. Although the estimation of the adjusted prevalence ratio of perinatal death was five times higher (5.06 [1.87, 13.7]) for women with overt diabetes, this result was non-significant after Holm-Bonferroni adjustment. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Compared with GDM22-30, overt diabetes, GDM<22 and, to a lesser extent, GDM>30 were associated with poorer maternal-fetal outcomes.

RESUMEN

Importance: Solid organ transplant recipients are at high risk of severe infection with SARS-CoV-2 compared with the general population. However, factors associated with COVID-19-related severity in this population are still insufficiently explored in the literature. Objective: To examine which health conditions and immunosuppressive drugs for preventing graft rejection are associated with the risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization in solid organ transplant recipients. Design, Setting, and Participants: Using the French National Health Data System, this cohort study assessed patients of any age who received transplants between their date of birth and entry into the cohort on February 15, 2020. The cohort was followed up between February 15, 2020, and July 31, 2022. Exposures: Immunosuppressive drugs, including steroids, and health conditions (age, sex, and comorbidities). Main Outcomes and Measures: The main outcome was hospitalization for COVID-19, defined by main diagnostic International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Factors associated with the outcome were identified with a nonconditional logistic regression. Confounding by indication was controlled using a multivariable model with adjustment for individual confounders. Each transplanted organ was examined separately. Results: Overall, 60 456 participants (median [IQR] age, 59 [47-67] years; 63.7% male) were included in the study, of whom 41 463 (68.6%) had kidney transplants, 14 464 (23.9%) had liver transplants, 5327 (8.8%) had heart transplants, and 2823 (4.6%) had lung transplants. Among them, 12.7% of kidney transplant recipients, 6.4% of liver transplant recipients, 12.9% of heart transplant recipients, and 18.0% of lung transplant recipients were hospitalized for COVID-19. In kidney transplant recipients, steroids (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.60; 95% CI, 1.49-1.73) and mycophenolic acid (AOR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.25-1.51) were associated with a high risk of hospitalization. In liver transplant recipients, tacrolimus (AOR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.61-0.98) was associated with a decreased risk, and steroids (AOR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.38-1.86) and mycophenolic acid (AOR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.37-1.90) were associated with an increased risk of hospitalizations. In heart transplant recipients, cyclosporine (AOR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.47-0.94) was associated with a decreased risk, and steroids (AOR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.11-1.82), mycophenolic acid (AOR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.02-1.64), sirolimus (AOR, 2.71; 95% CI, 1.20-6.09), and everolimus (AOR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.01-1.51) were associated with an increased risk of hospitalization. Only steroids (AOR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.19-2.48) were associated with a high risk of COVID-19 hospitalization in lung transplant recipients. Conclusions and Relevance: This study suggests that mycophenolic acid, sirolimus, and steroids are associated with an increased risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization in solid organ transplant recipients. These results should be considered by clinicians treating transplant recipients and may help inform epidemic-related decisions for this population in the future.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has been inconsistently associated with some coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. We aimed to quantify the risk of GBS according to the type of COVID-19 vaccine in a large population. METHODS: Using the French National Health Data System linked to the COVID-19 vaccine database, we analyzed all individuals aged 12 years or older admitted for GBS from December 27, 2020, to May 20, 2022. We estimated the relative incidence (RI) of GBS within 1-42 days after vaccination up to the first booster dose compared with baseline periods using a self-controlled case series design. We then derived the number of cases attributable to the vaccination. Analyses were adjusted for the period and stratified by age group, sex, and for the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or common acute infections. RESULTS: Of 58,530,770 people aged 12 years or older, 88.8% received at least 1 COVID-19 vaccine dose and 2,229 were hospitalized for GBS during the study period. Patients had a median age of 57 years, and 60% were male patients. The RI of GBS between 1-42 days was 2.5 (95% CI 1.8-3.6) for the first dose of ChAdOx1-S and 2.4 (95% CI 1.2-5.0) for the unique dose of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine. We estimated 6.5 attributable GBS cases per million persons having received a first dose of ChAdOx1-S and 5.7 cases per million for the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine. Except for the age group of 12-49 years after the second dose of the messenger RNA (mRNA)-1273 vaccine (RI 2.6, 95% CI 1.2-5.5), none of the RI estimates were found significantly increased for the mRNA vaccines. DISCUSSION: In summary, we found increased risks of GBS after the first administration of ChAdOx1-S and Ad26.COV2.S vaccines. In this comprehensive assessment at the French population level, there was no statistically significant increase in the risk of GBS after the administration of mRNA vaccines. This is reassuring in the context of the ongoing and future use of mRNA-based booster vaccination.

RESUMEN

Background: Knowing the duration of effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster doses is essential to providing decision-makers with scientific arguments about the frequency of subsequent injections. We estimated the level of protection against COVID-19-related hospitalizations (Omicron BA.4-BA.5) over time after vaccination, accounting for breakthrough infections. Methods: In this nationwide case-control study, all cases of hospitalizations for COVID-19 identified in the comprehensive French National Health Data System between June 1, 2022, and October 15, 2022, were matched with up to 10 controls by year of birth, sex, department, and an individual COVID-19 hospitalization risk score. Conditional logistic regressions were used to estimate the level of protection against COVID-19-related hospitalizations conferred by primary and booster vaccination, accounting for history of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Results: A total of 38 839 cases were matched to 377 653 controls; 19.2% and 9.9% were unvaccinated, respectively, while 68.2% and 77.7% had received ≥1 booster dose. Protection provided by primary vaccination reached 45% (95% CI, 42%-47%). The incremental effectiveness of booster doses ranged from 69% (95% CI, 67%-71%; ≤2 months) to 22% (95% CI, 19%-25%; ≥6 months). Specifically, the second booster provided an additional protection compared with the first ranging from 61% (95% CI, 59%-64%; ≤2 months) to 7% (95% CI, 2%-13%; ≥4 months). Previous SARS-CoV-2 infection conferred a strong, long-lasting protection (51% ≥20 months). There was no incremental effectiveness of a second booster among individuals infected since the first booster. Conclusions: In the era of Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 predominance, primary vaccination still conferred protection against COVID-19 hospitalization, while booster doses provided an additional time-limited protection. The second booster had no additional protection in case of infection since the first booster.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Although bacterial infections are frequent during pregnancy, the prescription of antibiotics to pregnant women represents a challenge for physicians, driven by the benefit-risk balance. OBJECTIVES: To assess the extent of prenatal antibiotic exposure and its associated factors. METHODS: This study included pregnancies in the National Mother-Child EPI-MERES Register 2010-19 (built from the French Healthcare Data System) regardless of outcome. Antibiotic exposure was defined as having at least one antibiotic prescription filled during pregnancy. The prevalence of pregnancies exposed to antibiotics was estimated. Univariable Poisson regression with generalized estimating equations was used to compare the number of antibiotic prescriptions filled during pregnancy and the period after pregnancy with the period 1 year before pregnancy. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to investigate factors associated with antibiotic exposure during pregnancy. RESULTS: Among 9 769 764 pregnancies, 3 501 294 (35.8%) were exposed to antibiotics and amoxicillin was the most common. Compared with a similar period 1 year before pregnancy, the number of filled antibiotic prescriptions was lower during pregnancy [incidence rate ratio (IRR) 0.903 (95% CI 0.902-0.905)] and during the period 1 year after pregnancy [IRR 0.880 (95% CI 0.879-0.881)]. Region of residence, deprivation index, smoking-related conditions and chronic diseases (especially chronic respiratory diseases) were associated with antibiotic exposure during pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: Antibiotic prescriptions are filled less frequently during pregnancy than during the preceding year. This may be due to a more relevant benefit-risk assessment. Pregnant women living with social deprivation, those with smoking-related conditions and those with chronic diseases are more likely to fill antibiotic prescriptions.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Many biologics are available for psoriasis and have been compared in real-life studies based on their persistence (i.e. time between initiation and discontinuation). However, after first-line biologic failure, data are lacking on the choice of second-line biologic among the four available classes [tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi); interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 inhibitor (IL-12/IL-23i); IL-17 inhibitors (IL-17i); and IL-23 inhibitors (IL-23i)]. OBJECTIVES: To compare the long-term persistence of available second-line biologics in psoriasis according to prior exposure. METHODS: This nationwide cohort study involved the administrative healthcare database of the French health insurance scheme linked to a hospital discharge database. Participants were adults with psoriasis, defined as having at least two prescriptions of a topical vitamin D derivative within a 2-year period, with initiation of a second-line biologic between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2021. We included patients who initiated a second-line biologic directly after first-line discontinuation (i.e. without a 'washout' period). The end of follow-up was 30 June 2022. Discontinuation was defined as > 90 days without filling a prescription for the same treatment after the period covered by the previous prescription. Comparison of persistence by biologic class involved using propensity score-weighted Cox models (inverse probability treatment weighting) and adjustment of specific systemic nonbiologics (time-dependent variables). RESULTS: We included 8693 patients [mean (SD) age 50 (14) years; 50.5% male]; 2824 (32.5%) started TNFi, 1561 (18.0%) IL-12/IL-23i, 2707 (31.1%) IL-17i and 1601 (18.4%) IL-23i. Overall, 1- and 3-year persistence rates were 60% and 30%, respectively. After weighting and adjustment, persistence was longer with IL-12/IL-23i [weighted hazard ratio (HRw) 0.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.62-0.76)], IL-17i (HRw 0.70, 95% CI 0.64-0.78) and IL-23i (HRw 0.36, 95% CI 0.31-0.42) than TNFi, except after first-line IL-17i treatment, with no difference between IL-12/IL-23i, IL-17i and TNFi second-line persistence. Persistence was longer with IL-23i as a second-line treatment than IL-12/IL-23i (HRw 0.53, 95% CI 0.44-0.63) and IL-17i (HRw 0.51, 95% CI 0.44-0.60), regardless of first-line treatment, with no difference seen between IL-12/IL-23i and IL-17i (HRw 0.97, 95% CI 0.87-1.09). CONCLUSIONS: This real-life study suggests the longer persistence of IL-23i than TNFi, IL-17i and IL-12/IL-23i as second-line treatment for psoriasis. Persistence rates for all biologics remained low at 3 years.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The role of endovascular treatment in the management of patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains uncertain. AVM embolization can be offered as stand-alone curative therapy or prior to surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) (pre-embolization). The Treatment of Brain AVMs Study (TOBAS) is an all-inclusive pragmatic study that comprises two randomized trials and multiple registries. METHODS: Results from the TOBAS curative and pre-embolization registries are reported. The primary outcome for this report is death or dependency (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score > 2) at last follow-up. Secondary outcomes include angiographic results, perioperative serious adverse events (SAEs), and permanent treatment-related complications leading to an mRS score > 2. RESULTS: From June 2014 to May 2021, 1010 patients were recruited in TOBAS. Embolization was chosen as the primary curative treatment for 116 patients and pre-embolization prior to surgery or SRS for 92 patients. Clinical and angiographic outcomes were available in 106 (91%) of 116 and 77 (84%) of 92 patients, respectively. In the curative embolization registry, 70% of AVMs were ruptured, and 62% were low-grade AVMs (Spetzler-Martin grade I or II), while the pre-embolization registry had 70% ruptured AVMs and 58% low-grade AVMs. The primary outcome of death or disability (mRS score > 2) occurred in 15 (14%, 95% CI 8%-22%) of the 106 patients in the curative embolization registry (4 [12%, 95% CI 5%-28%] of 32 unruptured AVMs and 11 [15%, 95% CI 8%-25%] of 74 ruptured AVMs) and 9 (12%, 95% CI 6%-21%) of the 77 patients in the pre-embolization registry (4 [17%, 95% CI 7%-37%] of 23 unruptured AVMs and 5 [9%, 95% CI 4%-20%] of 54 ruptured AVMs) at 2 years. Embolization alone was confirmed to occlude the AVM in 32 (30%, 95% CI 21%-40%) of the 106 curative attempts and in 9 (12%, 95% CI 6%-21%) of 77 patients in the pre-embolization registry. SAEs occurred in 28 of the 106 attempted curative patients (26%, 95% CI 18%-35%, including 21 new symptomatic hemorrhages [20%, 95% CI 13%-29%]). Five of the new hemorrhages were in previously unruptured AVMs (n = 32; 16%, 95% CI 5%-33%). Of the 77 pre-embolization patients, 18 had SAEs (23%, 95% CI 15%-34%), including 12 new symptomatic hemorrhages [16%, 95% CI 9%-26%]). Three of the hemorrhages were in previously unruptured AVMs (3/23; 13%, 95% CI 3%-34%). CONCLUSIONS: Embolization as a curative treatment for brain AVMs was often incomplete. Hemorrhagic complications were frequent, even when the specified intent was pre-embolization before surgery or SRS. Because the role of endovascular treatment remains uncertain, it should preferably, when possible, be offered in the context of a randomized trial.

RESUMEN

No study has yet investigated if a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection represents a marker of an undiagnosed cancer. This population-based study, using the SNDS database, identified from 02/15/2020 to 08/31/2021, 41,302 individuals hospitalized in intensive care unit due to SARS-CoV-2 (ICU-gr) and 713,670 control individuals not hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 (C-gr). Individuals were matched according to year of birth, sex and French department. The cancer incidence was compared in the two groups during the follow-up period (index date-12/31/2021), using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted on matching variables, socioeconomic characteristics and comorbidities. In the ICU-gr, 2.2% (n = 897) was diagnosed with a cancer in the following months, compared to 1.5% (n = 10,944) in the C-gr. The ICU-gr had a 1.31 higher risk of being diagnosed with a cancer following hospital discharge compared to the C-gr (aHR 1.31, 95% CI 1.22-1.41). A global similar trend was found when competing risk of death was taken into account (aHR 1.25, 95% CI 1.16-1.34). A significant higher risk was found concerning renal (aHR 3.16, 95% CI 2.33-4.27), hematological (aHR 2.54, 95% CI 2.07-3.12), colon (aHR 1.72, 95% CI 1.34-2.21), and lung (aHR 1.70, 95% CI 1.39-2.08) cancers. This suggests that a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection may represent a marker of an undiagnosed cancer.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Numerous studies have confirmed a strong association between progestins and meningiomas and the regression and/or stabilization of meningiomas after discontinuation of treatment. Osteomeningiomas represent a small subgroup of meningiomas that appear to be more common among progestin-related meningiomas. However, the specificity of the behavior of this subset of meningiomas after discontinuation of progestin has not yet been assessed. METHODS: Thirty-six patients (mean age 49.5 years) who presented with at least one progestin-related osteomeningioma (48 tumors total) were identified from a prospectively collected database of patients and had been referred to our department for meningioma and had documented use of cyproterone acetate, nomegestrol acetate, and/or chlormadinone acetate. Hormonal treatment was stopped at the time of diagnosis for all the patients, and the clinical and radiological evolution of this subgroup of tumors was evaluated. RESULTS: For half of the 36 patients, treatment was prescribed for signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism, alopecia, or acne. Most lesions were spheno-orbital (35.4%) or frontal (31.2%). Although the tissular part of the meningioma shrank in 77.1% of cases, the osseous part exhibited discordant behavior with 81.3% showing volume progression. The combination of estrogens, as well as the prolonged duration of progestin treatment, seems to increase the risk of progression of the osseous part after treatment discontinuation (p = 0.02 and p = 0.028, respectively). No patient required surgical treatment at diagnosis or during the study. CONCLUSIONS: These results show that while the soft intracranial part of progestin-related osteomeningioma tumor is the most likely to regress after treatment discontinuation, the bony part is more likely to increase in volume. These findings suggest the need for careful follow-up of these patients, especially those with tumors near the optical apparatus.
