RESUMO
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Type 3 oligodontia is the most dentoalveolar deficient manifestation of congenital tooth absence. There is a need to rehabilitate these children functionally and esthetically to improve quality of life. PURPOSE: The purpose of this retrospective case series was to evaluate the short- and intermediate-term outcomes of the dental treatment provided in a children's hospital and to develop a sequential interdisciplinary treatment planning protocol from infancy to the completion of jaw development. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 10 patients were included in this retrospective longitudinal case series report. Different interventions had been carried out at times related to growth and development of the jaws. Implant-supported fixed dental prostheses were provided after the lateral growth of the anterior mandible had stabilized at around 12 years of age. Definitive mandibular prostheses were provided after the cessation of growth and following maxillary treatment. Treatment for the maxilla was more complex. Bone grafted and graftless implant-supported fixed prostheses were offered as alternatives to a complete denture. Implant stability and soft tissue response were evaluated at prosthesis removal. RESULTS: Seven patients received a 4-implant and 2 a 5-implant-supported immediately loaded fixed mandibular prosthesis. One patient elected to maintain the interim complete denture. Of the 38 implants, 2 failed and were satisfactorily replaced. In the maxilla, 4 patients elected to maintain a complete denture, and 6 received a maxillary implant-supported fixed prosthesis: 1 with bilateral sinus lift bone grafting and 6 regular implants; 1 with 6 regular implants; 1 with 4 regular implants; 2 with bilateral zygoma implants plus 2 regular anterior implants; and 1 with 4 zygoma implants. No implant failures were recorded in the maxilla. Follow-up for mandibular treatment ranged from 1 to 12 years and for maxillary treatment 1 to 9 years. All implants were classified as asymptomatic and surviving. CONCLUSIONS: The use of fixed implant-supported prostheses in selected individuals with Type 3 oligodontia can improve functional and esthetic outcomes as compared with the use of removable prostheses alone. Implant-supported prostheses require an interdisciplinary approach from early childhood until growth cessation.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Intensive cardiac care units (ICCUs) were created to manage ventricular arrhythmias after acute coronary syndromes, but have diversified to include a more heterogeneous population, the characteristics of which are not well depicted by conventional methods. AIMS: To identify ICCU patient subgroups by phenotypic unsupervised clustering integrating clinical, biological, and echocardiographic data to reveal pathophysiological differences. METHODS: During 7-22 April 2021, we recruited all consecutive patients admitted to ICCUs in 39 centers. The primary outcome was in-hospital major adverse events (MAEs; death, resuscitated cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock). A cluster analysis was performed using a Kamila algorithm. RESULTS: Of 1499 patients admitted to the ICCU (69.6% male, mean age 63.3±14.9 years), 67 (4.5%) experienced MAEs. Four phenogroups were identified: PG1 (n=535), typically patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; PG2 (n=444), younger smokers with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; PG3 (n=273), elderly patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and conduction disturbances; PG4 (n=247), patients with acute heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Compared to PG1, multivariable analysis revealed a higher risk of MAEs in PG2 (odds ratio [OR] 3.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-10.0) and PG3 (OR 3.16, 95% CI 1.02-10.8), with the highest risk in PG4 (OR 20.5, 95% CI 8.7-60.8) (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Cluster analysis of clinical, biological, and echocardiographic variables identified four phenogroups of patients admitted to the ICCU that were associated with distinct prognostic profiles.

AIMS: Although several studies have shown that the right ventricular to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling, assessed by the ratio between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (TAPSE/sPAP) using echocardiography, is strongly associated with cardiovascular events, its prognostic value is not established in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to assess the in-hospital prognostic value of TAPSE/sPAP among patients hospitalized for ACS in a retrospective analysis from the prospective ADDICT-ICCU study. METHODS AND RESULTS: 481 consecutive patients hospitalized in intensive cardiac care unit (mean age 65±13 years, 73% of male, 46% STEMI) for ACS (either ST-elevation [STEMI] or non-ST-elevation [NSTEMI] myocardial infarction) with TAPSE/sPAP available were included in this prospective French multicentric study (39 centers). The primary outcome was in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as all-cause death, resuscitated cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock and occurred in 33 (7%) patients. ROC-curve analysis identified 0.55 mm/mmHg as the best TAPSE/sPAP cut-off to predict in-hospital MACEs. TAPSE/sPAP <0.55 was associated with in-hospital MACEs, even after adjustment with comorbidities (OR:19.1, 95%CI[7.78-54.8]), clinical severity including left ventricular ejection fraction (OR:14.4, 95%CI[5.70-41.7]) and propensity-matched population analysis (OR:22.8, 95%CI[7.83-97.2], all p<0.001). After adjustment, TAPSE/sPAP <0.55 showed the best improvement in model discrimination and reclassification above traditional prognosticators (C-statistic improvement: 0.16; global chi-square improvement: 52.8; LR-test p<0.001) with similar results for both STEMI and NSTEMI subgroups. CONCLUSION: A low RV-PA coupling defined as TAPSE/sPAP ratio <0.55 was independently associated with in-hospital MACEs and provided incremental prognostic value over traditional prognosticators in patients hospitalized for ACS.

RESUMO
AIMS: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion over systolic pulmonary artery pressure (TAPSE/sPAP) assessed by echocardiography appears to be a good non-invasive approach for right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling assessment. We aimed to assess the in-hospital prognostic value of TAPSE/sPAP among patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 333 consecutive patients (mean age 68 ± 14 years, 70% of male, mean left ventricular ejection fraction 44 ± 16%) were hospitalized for AHF across 39 French cardiology departments, with TAPSE/sPAP measured by echocardiography within the first 24â h of hospitalization were included in this prospective study. The primary outcome was in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as all-cause death, resuscitated cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock and occurred in 50 (15%) patients. Using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the best TAPSE/sPAP threshold for in-hospital MACEs was 0.40â mm/mmHg. TAPSE/sPAP < 0.40â mm/mmHg was independently associated with in-hospital MACEs, even after adjustment with comorbidities [odds ratio (OR): 3.75, 95% CI (1.87-7.93), P < 0.001], clinical severity [OR: 2.80, 95% CI (1.36-5.95), P = 0.006]. Using a 1:1 propensity-matched population, TAPSE/sPAP ratio < 0.40 was associated with a higher rate of in-hospital MACEs [OR: 2.98, 95% CI (1.53-6.12), P = 0.002]. After adjustment, TAPSE/sPAP < 0.40 showed the best improvement in model discrimination and reclassification above traditional prognostic factors (C-statistic improvement: 0.05; χ2 improvement: 14.4; likelihood-ratio test P < 0.001). These results were consistent in an external validation cohort of 133 patients. CONCLUSION: TAPSE/sPAP < 0.40â mm/mmHg assessed by an early echocardiography during an AHF episode is independently associated with in-hospital MACEs suggesting enhanced close monitoring and strengthened heart failure-specific care in these patients.

BACKGROUND: Intensive cardiac care units (ICCU) were initially developed to monitor ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction. In recent decades, ICCU have diversified their activities. AIM: To determine the type of patients hospitalized in ICCU in France. METHODS: We analysed the characteristics of patients enrolled in the ADDICT-ICCU registry (NCT05063097), a prospective study of consecutive patients admitted to ICCU in 39 centres throughout France from 7th-22nd April 2021. In-hospital major adverse events (MAE) (death, resuscitated cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock) were recorded. RESULTS: Among 1499 patients (median age 65 [interquartile range 54-74] years, 69.6% male, 21.7% diabetes mellitus, 64.7% current or previous smokers), 34.9% had a history of coronary artery disease, 11.7% atrial fibrillation and 5.2% cardiomyopathy. The most frequent reason for admission to ICCU was acute coronary syndromes (ACS; 51.5%), acute heart failure (AHF; 14.1%) and unexplained chest pain (6.8%). An invasive procedure was performed in 36.2%. "Advanced" ICCU therapies were required for 19.9% of patients (intravenous diuretics 18.4%, non-invasive ventilation 6.1%, inotropic drugs 2.3%). No invasive procedures or advanced therapies were required in 44.1%. Cardiac computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was carried out in 12.3% of patients. The median length of ICCU hospitalization was 2.0 (interquartile range 1.0-4.0) days. The mean rate of MAE was 4.5%, and was highest in patients with AHF (10.4%). CONCLUSIONS: ACS remains the main cause of admissions to ICCU, with most having a low rate of in-hospital MAE. Most patients experience a brief stay in ICCU before being discharged home. AHF is associated with highest death rate and with higher resource consumption.

AIMS: Although recreational drug use may induce ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), its prevalence in patients hospitalized in intensive cardiac care units (ICCUs), as well as its short-term cardiovascular consequences, remains unknown. We aimed to assess the in-hospital prognosis of STEMI in patients with recreational drug use from the ADDICT-ICCU study. METHODS AND RESULTS: From 7-22 April 2021, recreational drug use was detected prospectively by a systematic urine multidrug test in all consecutive patients admitted for STEMI in 39 ICCUs across France. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) defined by death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or cardiogenic shock. Among the 325 patients (age 62 ± 13 years, 79% men), 41 (12.6%) had a positive multidrug test (cannabis: 11.1%, opioids: 4.6%, cocaine: 1.2%, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine: 0.6%). The prevalence increased to 34.0% in patients under 50 years of age. Recreational drug users were more frequently men (93% vs. 77%, p = 0.02), younger (50 ± 12 years vs. 63 ± 13 years, P < 0.001), and more active smokers (78% vs. 34%, P < 0.001). During hospitalization, 17 MACEs occurred (5.2%), including 6 deaths (1.8%), 10 cardiogenic shocks (3.1%), and 7 resuscitated cardiac arrests (2.2%). Major adverse cardiac events (17.1% vs. 3.5%, P < 0.001) and ventricular arrhythmia (9.8% vs. 1.4%, P = 0.01) were more frequent in recreational drug users. Use of recreational drugs was associated with more MACEs after adjustment for comorbidities (odds ratio = 13.1; 95% confidence interval: 3.4-54.6). CONCLUSION: In patients with STEMI, recreational drug use is prevalent, especially in patients under 50 years of age, and is independently associated with an increase of MACEs with more ventricular arrhythmia.

Background: Smoking cigarettes produces carbon monoxide (CO), which can reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. We aimed to determine whether elevated expiratory CO levels would be associated with a worse prognosis in smokers presenting with acute cardiac events. Methods: From 7 to 22 April 2021, expiratory CO levels were measured in a prospective registry including all consecutive patients admitted for acute cardiac event in 39 centres throughout France. The primary outcome was 1-year all-cause death. Initial in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MAE; death, resuscitated cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock) were also analysed. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05063097). Findings: Among 1379 patients (63 ± 15 years, 70% men), 368 (27%) were active smokers. Expiratory CO levels were significantly raised in active smokers compared to non-smokers. A CO level >11 parts per million (ppm) found in 94 (25.5%) smokers was associated with a significant increase in death (14.9% for CO > 11 ppm vs. 2.9% for CO ≤ 11 ppm; p < 0.001). Similar results were found after adjustment for comorbidities (hazard ratio [HR] [95% confidence interval (CI)]): 5.92 [2.43-14.38]) or parameters of in-hospital severity (HR 6.09, 95% CI [2.51-14.80]) and propensity score matching (HR 7.46, 95% CI [1.70-32.8]). CO > 11 ppm was associated with a significant increase in MAE in smokers during initial hospitalisation after adjustment for comorbidities (odds ratio [OR] 15.75, 95% CI [5.56-44.60]) or parameters of in-hospital severity (OR 10.67, 95% CI [4.06-28.04]). In the overall population, CO > 11 ppm but not smoking was associated with an increased rate of all-cause death (HR 4.03, 95% CI [2.33-6.98] and 1.66 [0.96-2.85] respectively). Interpretation: Elevated CO level is independently associated with a 6-fold increase in 1-year death and 10-fold in-hospital MAE in smokers hospitalized for acute cardiac events.

RESUMO
Objectives: The aim of this postmarket clinical study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the latest generation polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents (PF-SES) in an all-comers population comparing outcomes in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) versus acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in France. Background: The efficacy and safety of the first-generation PF-SES have already been demonstrated by randomized controlled trials and "all-comers" observational studies. Methods: For this all-comers observational, prospective, multicenter study, 1456 patients were recruited in 22 French centers. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate at 12 months and secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and bleeding. Results: 895 patients had stable CAD and 561 had ACS. At 12 months, 2% of patients had a TLR, with similar rates between stable CAD and ACS (1.9% vs 2.2%, p = 0.7). The overall MACE rate was 5.2% with an expected higher rate in patients with ACS as compared to those with stable CAD (7.3% vs 3.9%, p = 0.007). The overall bleeding event rate was 4.5%, with similar rates in stable CAD as compared to ACS patients (3.8% vs 5.6%, p = 0.3). Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) interruptions prior to the recommended duration occurred in 41.7% of patients with no increase in MACE rates as compared to patients who did not prematurely interrupt DAPT (3.9% vs 6.1%, p = 0.073). Conclusions: The latest generation PF-SES is associated with low clinical event rates in these all-comers patients. There was a high rate of prematurely terminated DAPT, without any effect on MACE at 12 months. This trial is registered with NCT03809715.
