Background: The burden of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) in patients with complicated alcoholic hepatitis (CAH)-defined by ≥ 2 hepatic (ascites, jaundice, liver failure, encephalopathy) or extrahepatic (coagulopathy, shock, kidney or respiratory failure) dysfunctions within 30 days-remains poorly characterised.
Aims: To assess the burden of IFDs in CAH and compare it with bacterial pneumonia (BP).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective nationwide cohort study of adult CAH patients in France (2012-2021).
Objective: To evaluate obstetric and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies among patients with osteogenesis imperfecta using the French National Health Insurance Database.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study. Pregnancies were identified with an algorithm specifically developed for the French National Health Insurance Database to identify delivery stays using a combination of International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) discharge codes and medical procedures.
Objectives: Recent therapeutic advances, mainly with the advent of CFTR modulators, have been associated with an increasing number of pregnancies in females with cystic fibrosis (fwCF). This study aimed to evaluate the safety of the use of CFTR modulators, specifically elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) during pregnancy.
Methods: A nationwide cohort study was conducted using the French health insurance data warehouse (SNDS), covering nearly all singleton pregnancies ending between January 2018 and December 2023.
This nationwide cohort study provides a comprehensive overview of maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with sickle cell disease (SCD) during pregnancy. Using the French national health database, all singleton pregnancy-related hospital discharges from 2013 to 2020 in women aged 15-55 (n = 5 752 080) were selected. Of these, 1022 births were to women with SCD, 308 of whom were on long-term treatment, that is, hydroxyurea (HU) and/or transfusion programme.

Numerous confounding factors have hampered such assessment, and published data are contradictory.
Methods: Using data from the French National Health Data System from 2012 to 2022, we conducted a population-based matched cohort study on all live-born single children, including those born to mothers with HIV, all prenatally exposed to antiretrovirals (ARVs).
Introduction And Objective: Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use in children increases the risk of infections, prompting inquiry into the impact of prenatal PPIs exposure on serious infections in offspring. As a research gap in this area exists, this study aimed to address it by assessing the association between prenatal PPIs exposure and serious infections in infants during their first year of life.
Methods: Using the French health insurance data warehouse (SNDS) (2013-2018), we conducted a retrospective cohort study on singleton, full-term liveborn non-immunocompromised infants, stratified by PPI use during the first three months of life (early-life use).

Background & Aims: There is limited understanding of the benefits of alcohol rehabilitation after alcohol hepatitis (AH).
Methods: We conducted a 2012 to 2021 national longitudinal study involving adult inpatients diagnosed with AH in France. We assessed the primary outcome of liver transplantation or death within 1 year after AH, including in its complicated form (CAH) defined as ≥2 hepatic or extrahepatic complications within 4 weeks after AH.

Introduction: The prevalence of Barrett's esophagus (BE) in France is unknown. However, the management of dysplastic BE in expert centers is recommended and reduces the risk of developing invasive adenocarcinoma. Our aim was to determine the burden of BE patients in the Paris Region.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study on singleton, full-term liveborn non-immunocompromised infants, using the French National Health Data System (SNDS) between 2012 and 2021. Systemic antibiotic dispensing in ambulatory care settings during pregnancy defined the exposure.
Objective: Even though systemic vasculitides (SVs) affect primarily patients over 50 years of age, they can occur among women of childbearing age. Preterm birth (PTB) and hypertensive disorders are frequent complications of pregnancy in SVs. This study aims to evaluate the risk of hypertensive disorders and PTB among pregnant women with SVs, and to identify associated risk factors.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFImmunotherapy (IT) is a major therapeutic strategy for lymphoma, significantly improving patient prognosis. IT remains ineffective for a significant number of patients, however, and exposes them to specific toxicities. The identification predictive factors around efficacy and toxicity would allow better targeting of patients with a higher ratio of benefit to risk.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Systemic vasculitis (SV) rarely affects women of childbearing age and only small series have been reported to date in pregnant patients. The discovery of an unplanned pregnancy can be an urgent cause for modifying treatments. This study aimed to describe immunosuppressive drugs use before, during and after pregnancy in women with SV.
