Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the French health administrative database to describe patients' medication and primary care visits, in the context of a transitional care intervention including an in-hospital medication reconciliation followed by a structured community follow-up by the patient's general practitioner and pharmacist.
Design: A retrospective cohort study of older persons enrolled in the transitional care intervention between January 1st, 2015 and December 31st, 2018.
Results: Only 46.1% of the community follow-up were timely billed, in the 3 months after the patient discharge. The sensitivity of the health administrative database to identify medications was 90.0%. Its positive predictive value was 50.1%.
Conclusion: This study reveals that the French health administrative database was poorly reliable to identify both community follow-up and chronic medications.

Comparing Two Approaches to Identify Individuals with Severe Asthma in United States Claims Data.
Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf
September 2025
Sanofi, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
Purpose: Given the increased likelihood for individuals with severe asthma to experience comorbidities, disease complications, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations, the ability to stratify asthma populations on severity is often important. Although pharmacoepidemiologic studies using administrative healthcare databases sometimes categorize asthma severity, there is no consensus on an approach.
Methods: Individuals with asthma (≥ 2 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes J45) aged ≥ 6 years were identified in Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database between January 2017 and November 2023.
Safety and Effectiveness of Statins for Primary Prevention in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: An Emulation.

Centre for Safe Medication Practice and Research, Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China; Advanced Data Analytics for Medical Science Limited, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China
Background: There is no consensus for using statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), because no randomized controlled trial has exclusively investigated statins in this population.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of statins for primary prevention in adults with T1DM.
Methods: We performed a sequential target trial emulation comparing statin initiation vs noninitiation using UK primary care data from the IQVIA Medical Research Data database.
Major adverse thrombotic events and bleeding in stage 4-5 chronic kidney disease and dialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease.
J Thromb Haemost
September 2025
Chronic Disease Research Group, Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Background: Balancing the risks of thrombotic and bleeding events in people with advanced kidney disease is a clinical challenge.
Objectives: To estimate rates of major adverse thrombotic events (MATEs) and bleeding events in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 or 5 or with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods: Using administrative claims from a 20% Medicare sample, Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database, and the US Renal Data System from 2016-2019, we identified individuals with CKD stages 4 or 5 and individuals with dialysis-dependent ESKD.
Utilizing Smart Televisions as Assistive Technology to Enhance Communication and Social Lives of Older Adults: Systematic Review.

Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Technology, Art and Design, OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Over the past decade, the proportion of the world's population aged ≥65 years has grown exponentially, presenting significant challenges, such as social isolation and loneliness among this population. Assistive technologies have shown potential in enhancing the quality of life for older adults by improving their physical, cognitive, and communication abilities. Research has shown that smart televisions are user-friendly and commonly used among older adults.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the long-term survival following surgical repair because of type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and the correlation with the preoperative GERAADA-score value.
Methods: We enrolled patients who underwent emergent aortic surgery because of ATAAD from 2010 to 2022 from 9 hospitals. Follow-up information was obtained by matching the clinical patient data with a national administrative database.
