RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Epilepsy is associated with higher morbidity and mortality compared to people without epilepsy. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort study to evaluate cardiovascular comorbidity and incident vascular events in people with epilepsy (PWE). METHODS: Data were extracted from the French Hospital National Database. PWE (n = 682,349) who were hospitalized between January 2014 and December 2022 were matched on age, sex, and year of hospitalization with 682,349 patients without epilepsy. Follow-up was conducted from the date of first hospitalization with epilepsy until the date of each outcome or date of last news in the absence of the outcome. Primary outcome was the incidence of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, ischaemic stroke (IS), new onset atrial fibrillation, sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF), and cardiac arrest. RESULTS: A diagnosis of epilepsy was associated with higher numbers of cardiovascular risk factors and adverse cardiovascular events compared to controls. People with epilepsy had a higher incidence of all-cause death (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 2.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.67-2.72), cardiovascular death (IRR = 2.16, 95% CI = 2.11-2.20), heart failure (IRR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.25-1.28), IS (IRR = 2.08, 95% CI = 2.04-2.13), VT/VF (IRR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.04-1.16), and cardiac arrest (IRR = 2.12, 95% CI = 2.04-2.20). When accounting for all-cause death as a competing risk, subdistribution hazard ratios for ischaemic stroke of 1.59 (95% CI = 1.55-1.63) and for cardiac arrest of 1.73 (95% CI = 1.58-1.89) demonstrated higher risk in PWE. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence and incident rates of cardiovascular outcomes were significantly higher in PWE. Targeting cardiovascular health could help reduce excess morbidity and mortality in PWE.

AIMS: In a recent position paper, the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) proposed an algorithm for the screening and management of arrhythmias using digital devices. In patients with prior stroke, a systematic screening approach for atrial fibrillation (AF) should always be implemented, preferably immediately after the event. Patients with increasing age and with specific cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular comorbidities are also deemed to be at higher risk. From a large nationwide database, the aim was to analyse AF incidence rates derived from this new EHRA algorithm. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using the French administrative hospital discharge database, all patients hospitalized in 2012 without a history of AF, and with at least a 5-year follow-up (FU) (or if they died earlier), were included. The yearly incidence of AF was calculated in each subgroup defined by the algorithm proposed by EHRA based on a history of previous stroke, increasing age, and eight comorbidities identified via International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision codes. Out of the 4526 104 patients included (mean age 58.9 ± 18.9 years, 64.5% women), 1% had a history of stroke. Among those with no history of stroke, 18% were aged 65-74 years and 21% were ≥75 years. During FU, 327 012 patients had an incidence of AF (yearly incidence 1.86% in the overall population). Implementation of the EHRA algorithm divided the population into six risk groups: patients with a history of stroke (group 1); patients > 75 years (group 2); patients aged 65-74 years with or without comorbidity (groups 3a and 3b); and patients < 65 years with or without comorbidity (groups 4a and 4b). The yearly incidences of AF were 4.58% per year (group 2), 6.21% per year (group 2), 3.50% per year (group 3a), 2.01% per year (group 3b), 1.23% per year (group 4a), and 0.35% per year (group 4b). In patients aged < 65 years, the annual incidence of AF increased progressively according to the number of comorbidities from 0.35% (no comorbidities) to 9.08% (eight comorbidities). For those aged 65-75 years, the same trend was observed, i.e. increasing from 2.01% (no comorbidities) to 11.47% (eight comorbidities). CONCLUSION: These findings at a nationwide scale confirm the relevance of the subgroups in the EHRA algorithm for identifying a higher risk of AF incidence, showing that older patients (>75 years, regardless of comorbidities) have a higher incidence of AF than those with prior ischaemic stroke. Further studies are needed to evaluate the usefulness of algorithm-based risk stratification strategies for AF screening and the impact of screening on major cardiovascular event rates.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have high risk of ischemic stroke (IS), especially if atrial fibrillation (AF) is present. Improvements in risk stratification are needed to help identify those patients with HCM at higher risk of stroke, whether AF is present or not. METHODS: This French longitudinal cohort study from the database covering hospital care from 2010 to 2019 analyzed adults hospitalized with isolated HCM. A logistic regression model was used to construct a French HCM score, which was compared with the HCM Risk-CVA and CHA2DS2-VASc scores using c-indexes and calibration analysis. RESULTS: In 32 206 patients with isolated HCM, 12 498 (38.8%) had AF, and 2489 (7.7%) sustained an IS during follow-up. AF in patients with HCM was independently associated with a higher risk for death (hazard ratio, 1.129 [95% CI, 1.088-1.172]), cardiovascular death (hazard ratio, 1.254 [95% CI, 1.177-1.337]), IS (hazard ratio, 1.210 [95% CI, 1.111-1.317]), and other major cardiovascular events. Independent predictors of IS in HCM were older age, heart failure, AF, prior IS, smoking and poor nutrition (all P<0.05). For the HCM Risk-CVA score, CHA2DS2-VASc score and a French HCM score, all c-indexes were 0.65 to 0.70, with good calibration. Among patients with AF, the CHA2DS2-VASc score had marginal improvement over the HCM Risk-CVA score but was less predictive compared with the French HCM score (P=0.001). In patients without AF, both HCM Risk-CVA score and the French HCM score had significantly better prediction compared with CHA2DS2-VASc (both P<0.0001). Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the French HCM score had the best clinical usefulness of the 3 tested risk scores. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with HCM have a high prevalence of AF and a significant risk of IS, and the presence of AF in patients with HCM was independently associated with worse outcomes. A simple French HCM score shows good prediction of IS in patients with HCM and clinical usefulness, with good calibration.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and the treatments are frequently cardiotoxic. Whether BC is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events is a matter of debate. We evaluated the associations among BC and incident cardiovascular events in a contemporary population. METHODS: All female patients discharged from French hospitals in 2013 with at least 5 years of follow-up and without a history of major adverse cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction [MI], heart failure [HF], ischaemic stroke or all-cause death, and MACE-HF, which includes cardiovascular death, MI, ischaemic stroke or HF) or cancer (except BC) were identified. After propensity score matching, patients with BC were matched 1:1 with patients with no BC. Hazard ratios (HRs) for cardiovascular events during follow-up were adjusted on age, sex and smoking status at baseline. RESULTS: 1,795,759 patients were included, among whom 64,480 (4.3%) had history of BC. During a mean follow-up of 5.1 years, matched female patients with BC had a higher risk of all-cause death (HR 3.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.47-3.64), new-onset HF (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.04-1.11), major bleeding (HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.36-1.49), MACE-HF (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.04-1.11) and net adverse clinical events (NACE) including all-cause death, MI, ischaemic stroke, HF or major bleeding (HR 2.53, 95% CI 2.48-2.58) compared with those with no BC. By contrast, risks were not higher for cardiovascular death (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.88-1.00) and were lower for MI (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.75-0.88) and ischaemic stroke (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.79-1.11). CONCLUSIONS: In a large and contemporary analysis of female patients seen in French hospitals, women with history of breast cancer had a higher risk of all-cause mortality, new-onset heart failure and major bleeding compared to a matched cohort of women without breast cancer. In contrast, they have a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality, MI and stroke.

BACKGROUND: Cardiorenal syndromes (CRSs) are reputed to result in worse prognosis than isolated heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether it is true for all major outcomes over the long-term regardless of CRS chronology (simultaneous, cardiorenal and renocardiac CRS) is unknown. METHODS: The 5-year adjusted risk of major outcomes was assessed in this nationwide retrospective cohort study in all 385 687 with either CKD or HF (out of 5 123 193 patients who were admitted in a French hospital in 2012). RESULTS: Overall, 84.0% patients had HF and 8.9% had CKD (they had similar age, sex ratio, diabetes and hypertension prevalence), while 7.1% had CRS (cardiorenal: 44.6%, renocardiac: 14.5%, simultaneous CRS: 40.8%).The incidence of major outcomes was 57.3%, 53.0%, 79.2% for death; 18.8%, 10.9%, 27.5% for cardiovascular death; 52.6%, 34.7%, 64.3% for HF; 6.2%, 5.5%, 5.6% for myocardial infarction (MI); 6.1%, 5.8%, 5.3% for ischaemic stroke; and 23.1%, 4.8%, 16.1% for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) for isolated CKD, isolated HF and CRS, respectively.As compared with isolated CKD or HF, the risk of death, cardiovascular death and HF was markedly increased in CRS, the worse phenotype being cardiorenal CRS, while the increased risk of MI and ischaemic stroke associated with CRS subtypes was statistically but not clinically significant. As compared with isolated CKD, the risk of ESKD was similar for cardiorenal CRS only and marginally increased for renocardiac and simultaneous CRS. We could not find a synergy between HF and CKD on major clinical outcomes in the whole population (n = 5 123 193 patients). CONCLUSIONS: The additional impact of CRS versus isolated HF or CKD on long-term kidney and cardiovascular risk is highly heterogenous, depending of the event considered and CRS chronology. No synergy between HF and CKD could be demonstrated.

BACKGROUND: Two competing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) technologies are currently available. Head-to-head comparisons of the relative performances of these 2 devices have been published. However, long-term clinical outcome evaluation remains limited by the number of patients analyzed, in particular, for recent-generation devices. METHODS: Based on the French administrative hospital-discharge database, the study collected information for all consecutive patients treated with a TAVR device commercialized in France between 2014 and 2018. Propensity score matching was used for the analysis of outcomes during follow-up. The objective of this study was to analyze the outcomes of TAVR according to Sapien 3 balloon-expandable (BE) versus Evolut R self-expanding TAVR technology at a nationwide level in France. RESULTS: A total of 31 113 patients treated with either Sapien 3 BE or Evolut R self-expanding TAVR were found in the database. After matching on baseline characteristics, 20 918 patients were analyzed (10 459 in each group with BE or self-expanding valves). During follow-up (mean [SD], 358 [384]; median [interquartile range], 232 [10-599] days), BE TAVR was associated with a lower yearly incidence of all-cause death (relative risk, 0.88; corrected P=0.005), cardiovascular death (relative risk, 0.82; corrected P=0.002), and rehospitalization for heart failure (relative risk, 0.84; corrected P<0.0001). BE TAVR was also associated with lower rates of pacemaker implantation after the procedure (relative risk, 0.72; corrected P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of the largest cohort available, we observed that Sapien 3 BE valves were associated with lower rates of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, rehospitalization for heart failure, and pacemaker implantation after a TAVR procedure.

BACKGROUND: The number of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and cancer is rapidly increasing in clinical practice. The impact of cancer on clinical outcomes in this patient population is unclear, as is the performance of the HAS-BLED (Hypertension, Abnormal Renal/Liver Function, Stroke, Bleeding History or Predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drugs/Alcohol) and CHA2 DS2 -VASc (Congestive Heart Failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes Mellitus, Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack, Vascular Disease, Age 65 to 74 Years, Sex Category) scores. METHODS: This was an observational, retrospective cohort study including 2,435,541 adults hospitalized with AF. The authors investigated the incidence rates (IRs) of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, ischemic stroke, major bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) according to the presence of cancer and cancer types. RESULTS: Overall, 399,344 (16.4%) had cancer, with the most common cancers being metastatic, prostatic, colorectal, lung, breast, and bladder. During a mean follow-up of 2.0 years, cancer increased all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 2.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.99-2.01). The IR of ischemic stroke was higher with pancreatic cancer (2.8%/y), uterine cancer (2.6%/y), and breast cancer (2.6%/y), whereas it was lower with liver/lung cancer (1.9%/y) and leukemia/myeloma (2.0%/y), in comparison with noncancer patients (2.4%/y). Cancer increased the risk of major bleeding (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.26-1.28) and ICH (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.05-1.10). Leukemia, liver cancer, myeloma, and metastatic cancers showed the highest IRs for major bleeding/ICH. Major bleeding and ICH rates progressively increased with the HAS-BLED score, which showed generally good predictivity with C indexes > 0.70 for all cancer types. The CHA2 DS2 -VASc score's predictivity was slightly lower in AF patients with cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Cancer increased all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and ICH risk in AF patients. The association between cancer and ischemic stroke differed among cancer types, and in some types, the risk of bleeding seemed to exceed the thromboembolic risk.

BACKGROUND: There remain uncertainties regarding diabetes mellitus and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), in relation to type of diabetes, and the interactions with sex and age. We investigated whether diabetes confers higher relative rates of AF in women compared to men, and whether these sex-differences depend on type of diabetes and age. METHODS: All patients aged ≥ 18 seen in French hospitals in 2013 with at least 5 years of follow-up without a history of AF were identified and categorized by their diabetes status. We calculated overall and age-dependent incidence rates, hazard ratios, and women-to-men ratios for incidence of AF in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (compared to no diabetes). RESULTS: In 2,921,407 patients with no history of AF (55% women), 45,389 had prevalent type 1 diabetes and 345,499 had prevalent type 2 diabetes. The incidence rates (IRs) of AF were higher in type 1 or type 2 diabetic patients than in non-diabetics, and increased with advancing age. Among individuals with diabetes, the absolute rate of AF was higher in men than in women. When comparing individuals with and without diabetes, women had a higher adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of AF than men: adjusted HR 1.32 (95% confidence interval 1.27-1.37) in women vs. 1.12(1.08-1.16) in men for type 1 diabetes, adjusted HR 1.17(1.16-1.19) in women vs. 1.10(1.09-1.12) in men for type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSION: Although men have higher absolute rates for incidence of AF, the relative rates of incident AF associated with diabetes are higher in women than in men for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

AIM: To evaluate the associations between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and different types of incident cardiovascular events in a contemporary population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients discharged from French hospitals in 2013 with at least 5 years of follow-up and without a history of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE; myocardial infarction, heart failure [HF], ischaemic stroke or cardiovascular death [MACE-HF]) or underweight/malnutrition were identified. They were categorized by phenotypes defined by obesity and three metabolic abnormalities (diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia). Hazard ratios (HRs) for cardiovascular events during follow-up were adjusted on age, sex and smoking status at baseline. RESULTS: In total, 2 873 039 individuals were included in the analysis, among whom 272 838 (9.5%) had obesity. During a mean follow-up of 4.9 years, when pooling men and women, individuals with MHO had a higher risk of MACE-HF (multivariate-adjusted HR 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-1.24), new-onset HF (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.31-1.37) and atrial fibrillation (AF; HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.30-1.37) compared with individuals with no obesity and zero metabolic abnormalities. By contrast, risks were not higher for myocardial infarction (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.87-0.98), ischaemic stroke (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.88-0.98) and cardiovascular death (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.93-1.04). MHO in men was associated with a higher risk of clinical events compared with metabolically healthy men of normal weight (HR 1.12-1.80), while women with MHO had a lower risk for most events than metabolically healthy women of normal weight (HR 0.49-0.99). CONCLUSIONS: In a large and contemporary analysis of patients seen in French hospitals, individuals with MHO did not have a higher risk of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke or cardiovascular death than metabolically healthy individuals with no obesity. By contrast, they had a higher risk of new-onset HF and new-onset AF. However, notable differences were observed in men and women in the sex-stratified analysis.

Background and Purpose- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is known to increase risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but the risk of IS in isolated sinus node disease (SND) is unclear. We compared the incidence of IS in patients with SND, patients with AF, and in a control population with other cardiac diseases (disease of the circulatory system using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision). Methods- This French longitudinal cohort study was based on the national database covering hospital care for the entire population from 2008 to 2015. Results- Of 1 692 157 patients included in the cohort, 100 366 had isolated SND, 1 564 270 had isolated AF, and 27 521 had AF associated with SND. Incidence of IS during follow-up was higher in isolated patients with AF than in AF associated with SND (yearly rate 2.22% versus 2.06%) and in isolated patients with AF than in isolated patients with SND (yearly rate 2.22% versus 1.59%). The incidence of IS was lower in a control population with other cardiac conditions (n=479 108) compared with SND and patients with AF (0.96%/y, 1.59%/y, and 2.22%/y, respectively). After 1:1 propensity score matching, SND was associated with lower incidence of IS compared to AF (hazard ratio, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.73-0.82]) but higher incidence of IS compared to control population (hazard ratio, 1.27 [95%CI, 1.19-1.35]). Conclusions- Patients with SND had a lower risk of thromboembolic events than patients with AF but a higher risk than a control population with other cardiac diseases. Randomized clinical trial in a selected SND population, with, for example, a high CHA2DS2-VASc score, would be required to determine the value of IS prevention by anticoagulation.

AIMS: Cardiac resynchronization therapy with (CRTD) or without (CRTP) defibrillator is recommended in selected patient with systolic chronic heart failure and wide QRS. There is no guideline firmly indicating choice between CRTP and CRTD in primary prevention, particularly in older patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Based on the French administrative hospital-discharge database, information was collected from 2010 to 2017 for all patients implanted with CRTP or CRTD in primary prevention. Outcome analyses were undertaken in the total study population and in propensity-matched samples. During follow-up (913 days, SD 841, median 701, IQR 151-1493), 45 697 patients were analysed (CRTP 19 266 and CRTD 26 431). Incidence rate (%patient/year) of all-cause mortality was higher in CRTP patients (11.6%) than in CRTD patients (6.8%) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.63-1.76, P < 0.001]. After propensity-matched analyses, mortality of patients over 75 years old with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) was not different with CRTP and CRTD (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.80-1.09, P = 0.39). The CRTP patients under 75 years old with NICM had a higher mortality than CRTD patients (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.03-1.45, P = 0.02). Mortality rate was also higher with CRTP than with CRTD irrespectively of age in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) (<75 years old: HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.08-1.37, P = 0.01; ≥75 years old: HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04-1.22, P = 0.003). CONCLUSION: In this real-life study, CRTD was associated with a significantly lower all-cause mortality than CRTP in patients with ICM and in patients with NICM under 75 years old. Patients over 75 years old with NICM did not have lower mortality with primary prevention CRTD implantation.

OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) via implanted device vs no LAAO in a matched cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS: This longitudinal retrospective cohort study was based on the national database covering hospital care for the entire French population. Adults (≥18 years of age) who had been hospitalized with AF (January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2020) who underwent LAAO were identified. Propensity score matching was used to control for potential confounders of the treatment-outcome relationship. The primary outcome was a composite of ischemic stroke, major bleeding, or all-cause death during follow-up. RESULTS: After propensity score matching, 1216 patients with AF who were treated with LAAO were matched with 1216 controls (patients AF who were not treated with LAAO). Mean follow-up was 14.5 months (median, 13 months; IQR, 7-21 months). Patients with LAAO had a lower risk of the composite outcome (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.55). Total events (309 for LAAO vs 640 for controls) and event rates (23.3% vs 44.0%/year, respectively) were lower for LAAO, driven primarily by a decreased risk of all-cause death (HR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.33 to 0.46; P<.0001), whereas ischemic stroke risk was higher (HR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.17 to 2.64). Significant interactions were observed in subgroups with a history of ischemic stroke (P<.001) and of bleeding (P=.002). CONCLUSION: Among AF patients at high bleeding risk, our nationwide study highlights a high risk of clinical events during follow-up. LAAO appeared less effective than no LAAO in preventing stroke but more effective in preventing death. Left atrial appendage occlusion is particularly effective in patients with previous ischemic stroke or any episode of bleeding.

BACKGROUND: There are few data assessing the risk of death and cardiovascular events in patients with lymphoma. AIM: Using a nationwide hospitalization database, we aimed to address cardiovascular outcomes in patients with lymphoma. METHODS: From 01 January to 31 December 2013, 3,381,472 adults were hospitalized in French hospitals; 22,544 of these patients had a lymphoma. The outcome analysis (all-cause or cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, bleedings, new-onset heart failure and new-onset atrial fibrillation) was performed over a 5-year follow-up period. Each patient with lymphoma was matched with a patient without a lymphoma or other cancer (1:1). A competing risk analysis was also performed. RESULTS: After adjustment on all risk factors, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular co-morbidities, the subdistribution hazard ratios for all-cause death, major bleeding, intracranial bleeding, new-onset heart failure and new-onset atrial fibrillation were higher in patients with lymphoma; conversely, the subdistribution hazard ratios for cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke were lower in patients with lymphoma. In the matched analysis, the risk of all-cause death (subdistribution hazard ratio 1.936, 95% confidence interval 1.881-1.992) and major bleeding (subdistribution hazard ratio 1.117, 95% confidence interval 1.049-1.188) remained higher in patients with lymphoma. CONCLUSION: In this large nationwide cohort study, patients with lymphoma had a higher incidence of all-cause death and major bleeding.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of female death worldwide. The link between future cardiovascular events and a history of hypertensive disease in pregnancy or gestational diabetes (GDM) has been well established. Less well understood is the impact on future cardiovascular risk when gestational hypertension (GH) and GDM have occurred together. We assessed the association of GDM and GH with future cardiovascular events both alone and in combination. STUDY DESIGN: All female patients discharged from French hospitals in 2013 with 5 years of subsequent and complete follow-up were identified. They were grouped depending on their history of GDM, history of GH, history of both or history of neither. After propensity score matching, patients with GDM and/or GH were matched 1:1 with patients with no GDM or GH. Hazard ratios (HR) for cardiovascular events during follow-up were adjusted by age at baseline. RESULTS: Women with a history of GH had an increased risk of cardiovascular death (HR 5.46, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.93-15.49). Women with a history of GDM had no significant difference in the risk of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction (HR 0.88, 95 %CI 0.38-2.03) and cardiovascular death (HR 1.25, 95 %CI 0.47-3.36) during the 5 year follow up. Those with a history of both GDM and GH had a significantly increased risk of myocardial infarction (HR 23.33, 95 %CI 4.84-112.39). CONCLUSION: Women with a history of both GH and GDM are at a 23-fold increased risk of myocardial infarction within the first 5 years of their postnatal lives.
RESUMO
Electronic health data concerning implantable medical devices (IMD) opens opportunities for dynamic real-world monitoring to assess associated risks related to implanted materials. Due to population ageing and expanding demands, total hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasties are increasing. Automating the collection and analysis of orthopedic device features could benefit physicians and public health policies enabling early issue detection, IMD monitoring and patient safety assessment. A machine learning tool using natural language processing (NLP) was developed for the automated extraction of operation information from medical reports in orthopedics. A corpus of 959 orthopaedic operative reports from 5 centres was manually annotated using the Prodigy software® with a strong inter-annotator agreement of 0.80. Data to extract concerned key clinical and procedure information (n= 9) selected by a multidisciplinary group based on the French health authority checklist. Performances parameters of the NLP model estimated an overall strong precision and recall of respectively 97.0 and 96.0 with a F1-score 96.3. Systematic monitoring of orthopedic devices could be ensured by an automated tool, leveraging clinical data warehouses. Traceability of medical devices with implantation modalities will allow detection of implant factors leading to complications. The evidence from real-world data could provide concrete and dynamic insights to surgeons and infectious disease specialists concerning implant follow-up, guiding therapeutic decision-making, and informing public health policymakers. The tool will be applied on clinical data warehouses to automate information extraction and presentation, providing feedback on mandatory information completion and contents of operative reports to support improvements, and thereafter implant research projects.

Objectives: To demonstrate the association between the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) and 30-day mortality, 30-day hospital readmission and length of stay (LOS) in France. Methods: Logistic regressions were performed using data recorded in the French national health data system (SNDS) for elderly patients (≥75 years old) hospitalized in France in 2017. Results: Over the 1,111,090 patients included, 30-day mortality was associated with the HFRS: adjusted OR (aOR) for an intermediate HFRS (5-15 points) was 1.91 [95% confidence interval (95% IC); 1.87-1.95] and aOR 2.57 [95% IC; 2.50-2.64] for high HFRS (>15 points), as compared to low HFRS (<5 points). LOS >10 days increased with the HFRS (aOR = 1.36 [95% IC; 1.34-1.38] for an intermediate HFRS and aOR 1.51 [95% IC; 1.48-1.54] for a high HFRS). A high HFRS was associated with 30-day hospital readmission (aOR = 1.06 [95% IC; 1.04-1.08]). Discussion: This real-life analysis of in- and out-patient healthcare pathways confirmed the HFRS's ability to predict adverse outcomes, after adjustment on social deprivation.

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden death. We investigated this association in hospitalised patients in France. METHODS: All hospitalised patients from 2013 were identified from the French National database and included if they had at least 5 years of follow-up data. RESULTS: Overall, 3,381,472 patients were identified. After excluding 35,834 with a history of VAs and cardiac arrest, 3,345,638 patients were categorised into two groups: no AF (n = 3,033,412; mean age 57.2 ± 21.4; 54.3% female) and AF (n = 312,226; 78.1 ± 10.6; 44.0% female). Over a median follow-up period of 5.4 years (interquartile range (IQR) 5.0-5.8 years), the incidence (2.23%/year vs. 0.56%/year) and risk (hazard ratio (HR) 3.657 (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.604-3.711)) of VAs and cardiac arrest were significantly higher in AF patients compared to non-AF patients. This was still significant after adjusting for confounders, with a HR of 1.167 (95% CI 1.111-1.226) and in the 1:1 propensity score-matched analysis (n = 289,332 per group), with a HR of 1.339 (95% CI 1.313-1.366). In the mediation analysis, the odds of cardiac arrest were significantly mediated by AF-associated VAs, with an OR of 1.041 (95% CI 1.040-1.042). CONCLUSION: In hospitalised French patients, AF was associated with an increased risk of VAs and sudden death.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increase risks of cardiovascular (CV) and renal disease compared with diabetes-free populations. There are only a few studies comparing T1DM and T2DM for the relative risk of these clinical events. METHODS: All adult patients hospitalized in French hospitals in 2013 with at least 5 years of follow-up were identified and categorized by their diabetes status. A total of 50,623 patients with T1DM (age 61.4 ± 18.6, 53% male) and 425,207 patients with T2DM (age 68.6 ± 14.3, 55% male) were followed over a median period of 5.3 years (interquartile range: 2.8 - 5.8 years). Prevalence and event rates of myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), ischemic stroke, chronic kidney disease (CKD), all-cause death and CV death were assessed with age stratification of 10-year intervals. For clinical events during follow-up, we report hazard ratios (HRs) in T1DM relative to T2DM. RESULTS: The age and sex-adjusted prevalence of CV diseases was higher in T2DM for ages above 40 years whereas the prevalence of CKD was more common in T1DM between ages 18 and 70 years. During 2,033,239 person-years of follow-up, age and sex-adjusted HR event rates comparing T1DM, versus T2DM as reference, showed that MI and HF relative risks were increased above 60 years (1.2 and 1.4 -fold). HR of ischemic stroke did not markedly differ between T1DM and T2DM. Risk of incident CKD was 2.4-fold higher in T1DM above 60 years. All-cause death HR risk was 1.1-fold higher in T1DM after 60 years and the CV death risk was 1.15-fold higher in T1DM between 60 and 69 years compared to T2DM. CONCLUSIONS: Although the crude prevalent burden of CV diseases may be lower in T1DM than in T2DM, patients with T1DM may have a higher risk of incident MI, HF, all-cause death and CV death above 60 years of age, highlighting the need for improved prevention in this population.

Background. Sleep apnea (SA) is a common breathing disorder characterized by repetitive upper airway narrowing and closure. Although SA has been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality, the direct contribution of SA to worse cardiovascular prognosis may be difficult to evaluate, and its independent association with the different types of cardiovascular outcomes may be debated, particularly in the context of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of known SA on the outcomes of hospitalized patients who have had an AMI by analyzing 10-year data collected from a national registry. Methods. This longitudinal cohort study was based on the national hospitalization database that covers hospital care for the entire French population, including all patients admitted with AMI from January 2010 to June 2019. The clinical outcomes for the analysis were as follows: all-cause death, cardiovascular death, ischemic stroke, new-onset atrial fibrillation (FA), and re-hospitalization for heart failure (HF). Results. Among the 797,212 patients who presented with an AMI (528,351 men and 268,861 women), 37,075 (4.7%) had documented SA. During follow-up (mean [SD] 1.8 [2.4] years, median [interquartile range] 0.7 [0.1-3.1] years), 163,845 deaths (of which 85,649 were cardiovascular deaths), 20,168 ischemic strokes, 58,498 new-onset AF, and 92,381 rehospitalizations due to HF were recorded. Patients with known SA had a worse prognosis in the short and medium term, but after adjusting for all covariables, SA was only independently associated with a higher risk of rehospitalization for HF and new-onset AF in men and women. Conclusion. Data from our large nationwide analysis confirm that known SA is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes in patients who have had an AMI. However, this impact is tem-pered when the model is adjusted for age, cardiovascular risk, or other covariables. Further studies need to be conducted to assess the independent impact of SA on the prognosis of patients with AMI.
