Abstract: International audience; PURPOSE:We investigated the impact of body composition on outcomes of patients with early breast cancer. Skeletal muscle mass, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and muscle fat infiltration or inter-muscular adipose tissue areas (IMAT), obtained by computed tomography (CT), were assessed.METHODS:A total of 119 female patients who had breast cancer were included in this retrospective study. The total skeletal muscle and fat tissue areas were evaluated in two adjacent axial slices obtained at the third lumbar vertebra by CT used for disease staging. The women were assigned to either a sarcopenia or non-sarcopenia group based on their skeletal muscle index (cut-off 41.0 cm2/m2). They also were classified into high and low VAT/SAT ratio groups and assigned to either the high or low IMAT index group. The association of the body composition parameters and prognosis was statistically analyzed.RESULTS:Among the 119 evaluable patients, 58 were sarcopenic (48.8%), 55 (46.2%) had a high VAT/SAT ratio, and 62 (52.1%) had a high IMAT index. Median follow-up was 52.4 months. Multivariate analysis revealed sarcopenia and IMAT index as independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival (p = 0.02 and p = 0.04, respectively) and overall survival (p = 0.05 and p = 0.02, respectively). BMI was not significantly associated with disease-free survival, but a trend was observed (p = 0.09).CONCLUSIONS:Sarcopenia and IMAT index are independent prognostic factors in early breast cancer; therefore, assessing body composition could be a simple and useful approach to integrate into patient management.

Abstract: International audience; Granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSFs) enhance bone marrow (BM) recovery after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in patients with lymphoma and myeloma. Few publications exist that discuss the use of filgrastim biosimilars after ASCT. We conducted a single-center retrospective study in patients with lymphoma and myeloma treated at Brest Hospital to assess the cost reductions related to and the efficiency and safety of filgrastim biosimilars. We identified 65 patients with lymphoma or myeloma treated with filgrastim biosimilars for ASCT and compared 19 parameters of these patients, including BM recovery, side effects, infectious complications and treatment costs, with published historical data on a cohort of 50 patients treated with classic filgrastim. We observed a significant reduction of G-CSF costs in both groups but did not observe a change in total hospitalization costs (representing less than 2% of the costs) between groups. Additionally, we did not observe differences between the two groups in BM recovery, infectious complications, side effects or the other studied parameters. In this retrospective study, the absence of differences between groups after ASCT in lymphoma and myeloma led us to believe that these drugs could be safely and effectively used for such indications without a significant impact on hospitalization costs. A prospective study should be conducted to confirm our results.

Abstract: International audience; We performed a multicentre retrospective cohort study including 606,649 acute inpatient episodes at 10 European hospitals in 2010 and 2011 to estimate the impact of antimicrobial resistance on hospital mortality, excess length of stay (LOS) and cost. Bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (3GCRE), meticillin-susceptible (MSSA) and -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) increased the daily risk of hospital death (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.80; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.34-2.42, HR = 1.81; 95% CI: 1.49-2.20 and HR = 2.42; 95% CI: 1.66-3.51, respectively) and prolonged LOS (9.3 days; 95% CI: 9.2-9.4, 11.5 days; 95% CI: 11.5-11.6 and 13.3 days; 95% CI: 13.2-13.4, respectively). BSI with third-generation cephalosporin-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae (3GCSE) significantly increased LOS (5.9 days; 95% CI: 5.8-5.9) but not hazard of death (1.16; 95% CI: 0.98-1.36). 3GCRE significantly increased the hazard of death (1.63; 95% CI: 1.13-2.35), excess LOS (4.9 days; 95% CI: 1.1-8.7) and cost compared with susceptible strains, whereas meticillin resistance did not. The annual cost of 3GCRE BSI was higher than of MRSA BSI. While BSI with S. aureus had greater impact on mortality, excess LOS and cost than Enterobacteriaceae per infection, the impact of antimicrobial resistance was greater for Enterobacteriaceae.

Abstract: International audience; PURPOSE:To report the incidence of acute postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) after cataract surgery from 2005 to 2014 in France.DESIGN:Cohort study.PARTICIPANTS:Patients undergoing operation for cataract surgery by phacoemulsification and presenting acute POE.METHODS:We identified acute POE occurring within 6 weeks after phacoemulsification cataract surgery and the use of intracameral antibiotic injection during the surgical procedure by means of billing codes from a national database.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Incidence of acute POE.RESULTS:From January 2005 to December 2014, 6 371 242 eyes in 3 983 525 patients underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery. The incidence of acute POE after phacoemulsification decreased from 0.145% to 0.053% during this 10-year period; the unadjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) (95% confidence interval) was 0.37 (0.32-0.42; P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, intracameral antibiotic injection was associated with a lower risk of acute POE 0.53 (0.50-0.57; P < 0.001), whereas intraoperative posterior capsule rupture, combined surgery, and gender (male) were associated with a higher risk of acute POE: 5.24 (4.11-6.68), 1.77 (1.53-2.05), and 1.48 (1.40-1.56) (P < 0.001), respectively.CONCLUSIONS:Access to a national database allowed us to observe a decrease in acute POE after phacoemulsification cataract surgery from 2005 to 2014. Within the same period, the use of intracameral antibiotics during the surgical procedures increased.

Abstract: International audience; Background : Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency caused by inborn errors of the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase complex. From the first year of life onward, most affected patients display multiple, severe, and recurrent infections caused by bacteria and fungi. Mycobacterial infections have also been reported in some patients.Objective : Our objective was to assess the effect of mycobacterial disease in patients with CGD.Methods : We analyzed retrospectively the clinical features of mycobacterial disease in 71 patients with CGD. Tuberculosis and BCG disease were diagnosed on the basis of microbiological, pathological, and/or clinical criteria.Results : Thirty-one (44%) patients had tuberculosis, and 53 (75%) presented with adverse effects of BCG vaccination; 13 (18%) had both tuberculosis and BCG infections. None of these patients displayed clinical disease caused by environmental mycobacteria, Mycobacterium leprae, or Mycobacterium ulcerans. Most patients (76%) also had other pyogenic and fungal infections, but 24% presented solely with mycobacterial disease. Most patients presented a single localized episode of mycobacterial disease (37%), but recurrence (18%), disseminated disease (27%), and even death (18%) were also observed. One common feature in these patients was an early age at presentation for BCG disease. Mycobacterial disease was the first clinical manifestation of CGD in 60% of these patients.Conclusion : Mycobacterial disease is relatively common in patients with CGD living in countries in which tuberculosis is endemic, BCG vaccine is mandatory, or both. Adverse reactions to BCG and severe forms of tuberculosis should lead to a suspicion of CGD. BCG vaccine is contraindicated in patients with CGD.

Abstract: International audience; AIM:Practitioners are faced with a substantial challenge when considering recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy for older patients with ischemic stroke. Patients aged over 80 years suffer from the most severe cerebral infarcts. The benefit of rt-PA treatment compared with single standard care only in stroke units remains to be clearly assessed.METHODS:We collected data from 321 patients aged over 80 years admitted for acute cerebral infarction to the stroke unit of Nancy University Hospital in France between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2012. Patients were stratified into two groups: treated or not with rt-PA. Baseline characteristics and outcome were collected and compared between both groups. Good outcome at 3 months was defined as modified Rankin Scale score ≤2.RESULTS:The 55 patients treated with rt-PA had a higher National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score on admission than those without (15 vs 5; P 2 (57 vs 54 %), but without reaching significance (P > 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Rt-PA therapy would appear to improve prognosis in the elderly with ischemic stroke. This suggests that age alone should no longer be a barrier to rt-PA therapy.

Abstract: International audience; Sequence type 131 (ST131) is a predominant lineage among extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli. It plays a major role in the worldwide dissemination of E. coli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). Here we describe the long-term epidemiology of this clonal group in a French university hospital, where the incidence of ESBL-producing E. coli has increased from 0.018 case per 1000 patient-days in the year 2000 to 0.50 case per 1000 patient-days in 2014. The first of the 141 ST131 isolates was recovered in 2006, and the ST131 clonal group accounted for 18.1% of total ESBL-producing E. coli over the whole period (2000-2014). Subclonal typing showed that 75.9% (107/141) of ST131 isolates were H30, of which 81.3% (87/107) were H30-Rx. The large majority (137/141) of ESBLs produced were of the CTX-M group, with 94 CTX-M-15, 19 CTX-M-1, 10 CTX-M-27, 8 CTX-M-14 and four other CTX-M types (n = 6). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis showed high diversity, which increased during the course of the study. The 141 ST131 isolates clustered in 53 pulsotypes (PTs), with 2 dominant PTs (PT14 and PT13) with 36 and 17 isolates, respectively. These findings showed that ST131 was a predominant clone among ESBL-producing E. coli in our hospital, even though it only accounted for

Abstract: International audience; This study investigated the clinical epidemiology and resistance mechanisms of Acinetobacter baumannii and characterised the clonal diversity of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) during an ICU-associated outbreak at Cayenne Hospital, French Guiana. All non-duplicate A. baumannii isolates from 2008 to 2014 were tested for antibiotic susceptibility by disk diffusion. Multilocus sequence typing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and characterisation of carbapenemase-encoding genes were performed on CRAB. Of the 441 A. baumannii isolates, most were from males (54.0%) and were detected mainly from the ICU (30.8%) and medicine wards (21.8%). In the ICU, strains were mainly isolated from the respiratory tract (44.1%) and bloodstream (14.0%), whereas in medicine wards they mainly were from wound/drainage (36.5%) and bloodstream (25.0%). A. baumannii showed the greatest susceptibility to piperacillin/tazobactam (92.7%), imipenem (92.5%), colistin (95.6%) and amikacin (97.2%), being lower in the ICU and medicine wards compared with other wards. An outbreak of OXA-23-producing CRAB occurred in the 13-bed ICU in 2010. CRAB strains were more co-resistant to other antimicrobials compared with non-CRAB. Molecular genetics analysis revealed five sequence types [ST78, ST107 and ST642 and two new STs (ST830 and ST831)]. Analysis of PFGE profiles indicated cross-transmissions of CRAB within the ICU, between the ICU and one medicine ward during transfer of patients, and within that medicine ward. This study provides the first clinical and molecular data of A. baumannii from French Guiana and the Amazon basin. The ICU was the highest risk unit of this nosocomial outbreak of OXA-23-producing CRAB, which could subsequently disseminate within the hospital.

Abstract: Objectives The French Society of Rheumatology has initiated a large national multicenter, longitudinal, prospective follow-up of patients presenting with early inflammatory back pain in order to set up a database to facilitate several investigations on diagnosis, prognosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis and medico-economics in the field of early inflammatory back pain and spondyloarthritis. Methods Patients were recruited if they had inflammatory back pain of more than 3 months and less than 3 years. Patients will be followed every 6 months during the first 2 years then every year during at least 5 years. Apart from information collected on a Case Report Form (demographics, disease activity, severity, co-morbidities, socio-economics, treatments, radiological and MRI evaluation of the spine and the pelvis according to the local investigators, and for some centers bone densitometry and ultrasonography of entheses), the digital X-rays and MRI of the spine and pelvis are stored using a specific software (Carestream) and the biological samples (DNA, RNA, sera, urines) are centralized at the Biological Resources Center (Bichat Hospital). Results The recruitment period of the 708 patients (mean age: 34 ± 9 years, female 54%, HLA-B27 positive: 57%) in the 25 centers was 26 months (from December 2007 to April 2010). The modified New York criteria, Amor criteria, ESSG criteria and axial ASAS criteria were fulfilled by 26%, 77%, 76% and 67% of the patients at entry, respectively. A history or current symptoms suggestive of peripheral arthritis, acute anterior uveitis and inflammatory bowel disease were observed in 21%, 9% and 4% of the patients, respectively. The disease was active (BASDAI: 45 ± 20) despite an NSAID intake in 66% of the patients. Conclusion This large cohort should facilitate the conduct of researches in different areas (clinical, medico-economics, translational) in order to improve our knowledge on the pathogenesis and natural history of axial spondyloarthritis.

Abstract: International audience; PURPOSE: To describe uveitis clinical characteristics in the elderly. METHODS: Retrospective review of 91 patients at the age of 60 or more years at the authors' uveitis tertiary center over a 7-year period. RESULTS: Uveitis in the elderly accounted for 30.1% of this population. Uveitis localization was anterior in 22.0% of patients, intermediate in 8.8%, posterior in 20.9%, while 41.7% patients presented with panuveitis. Sarcoidosis (37.4%) and idiopathic uveitis (36.3%) accounted for the majority of cases, whereas other diagnostic entities accounted for 26.3%. Panuveitis (41.7%) and sarcoidosis (37.4%) were detected at a significantly higher frequency than in the younger population. Contrarily, ankylosing spondylitis and established ophthalmological entities (pars planitis, Birdshot chorioretinopathy, Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis) were more common in patients younger than 60 years old. CONCLUSION: In the authors' experience, sarcoidosis is the leading cause of uveitis in the elderly. Idiopathic uveitis and other specific entities account for less than two-thirds of cases.

Abstract: X-linked lymphoproliferative syndromes (XLP) are primary immunodeficiencies characterized by a particular vulnerability toward Epstein-Barr virus infection, frequently resulting in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). XLP type 1 (XLP-1) is caused by mutations in the gene SH2D1A (also named SAP), whereas mutations in the gene XIAP underlie XLP type 2 (XLP-2). Here, a comparison of the clinical phenotypes associated with XLP-1 and XLP-2 was performed in cohorts of 33 and 30 patients, respectively. HLH (XLP-1, 55%; XLP-2, 76%) and hypogammaglobulinemia (XLP-1, 67%; XLP-2, 33%) occurred in both groups. Epstein-Barr virus infection in XLP-1 and XLP-2 was the common trigger of HLH (XLP-1, 92%; XLP-2, 83%). Survival rates and mean ages at the first HLH episode did not differ for both groups, but HLH was more severe with lethal outcome in XLP-1 (XLP-1, 61%; XLP-2, 23%). Although only XLP-1 patients developed lymphomas (30%), XLP-2 patients (17%) had chronic hemorrhagic colitis as documented by histopathology. Recurrent splenomegaly often associated with cytopenia and fever was preferentially observed in XLP-2 (XLP-1, 7%; XLP-2, 87%) and probably represents minimal forms of HLH as documented by histopathology. This first phenotypic comparison of XLP subtypes should help to improve the diagnosis and the care of patients with XLP conditions.

Abstract: International audience; This retrospective report assessed the impact of rabbit antithymocyte globulins (ATG), incorporated within a standard myeloablative conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) using human leukocyte antigen-matched unrelated donors (HLA-MUD), on the incidence of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). In this series of leukemia patients, 120 patients (70%) did not receive ATG ('no-ATG' group), whereas 51 patients received ATG ('ATG' group). With a median follow-up of 30.3 months, the cumulative incidence of grade 3-4 acute GVHD was 36% in the no-ATG group and 20% in the ATG group (P = 0.11). The cumulative incidence of extensive chronic GVHD was significantly lower in the ATG group as compared to the no-ATG group (4 vs 32%, respectively; P = 0.0017). In multivariate analysis, the absence of use of ATG was the strongest parameter associated with an increased risk of extensive chronic GVHD (relative risk) = 7.14, 95% CI: 1.7-33.3, P = 0.008). At 2 years, the probability of nonrelapse mortality, relapse, overall and leukemia-free survivals was not significantly different between the no-ATG and ATG groups. We conclude that the addition of ATG to GVHD prophylaxis resulted in decreased incidence of extensive chronic GVHD without an increase in relapse or nonrelapse mortality, and without compromising survival after myeloablative allo-SCT from HLA-MUD.

Abstract: International audience; Recently, a commercially available HPV DNA chip, the PapilloCheck test, developed by Greiner Bio-One, has become available for human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping. The PapilloCheck test is a PCR-based test using a new consensus primer set targeting the E1 HPV gene. HPV oligoprobes immobilized on a DNA chip allow for the identification of 24 HPV types from the amplified product. In the present study, the analytical performance of the PapilloCheck test is compared to the Linear Array HPV genotyping test (Roche Diagnostics). Cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt (Cytyc) solution and obtained from women who presented abnormal cytological findings were tested primarily by the Hybrid Capture 2 High-Risk assay (HC2-HR, QIAGEN). A total of 144 samples were selected according to the signal intensity obtained with the HC2-HR test, expressed as RLU/CO value, and divided into 4 groups as follows: [0-1] RLU/CO (negative HC2-HR result, 34 samples); [1-5] RLU/CO (positive HC2-HR result, 30 samples); [5-40] RLU/CO (positive HC2-HR result, 40 samples); >40 RLU/CO (positive HC2-HR result, 40 samples). The concordance levels between the HC2-HR test and each of the genotyping assays was similar (88.8%) and the crude agreement between these assays was considered as "good". The detailed analysis of the discrepant results confirmed a possibly high rate of false positive results of HC2-HR test in the 1-5 RLU/CO grey zone. Genotype-specific comparison analysis was limited to the 23 HPV types detected by both genotyping assays (HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 40, 42, 45, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 70, 73 and 82). Of the 135 samples available for comparison, 91 (67.4%) showed absolute agreement between the assays (concordant genotype-specific results), 34 (25.1%) showed correspondence for some but not all genotypes detected by both assays (compatible genotype-specific results), and the remaining 10 (7.4%) samples did not show any similarity between the tests (discordant results). The majority of discordances were found in samples containing multiple HPV types and in samples harboring low amounts of HPV. For some HPV genotypes, there were slight differences in the detection rate between the two genotyping methods. The Linear Array test seemed to be more sensitive to detect HPV type 53 whereas PapilloCheck test seemed to be more sensitive to detect HPV type 56. For the other genotypes, including HPV types 16 and 18, the results obtained by the two methods did not differ significantly. In conclusion, this study shows that the PapilloCheck test and the Linear Array test give comparable results for detecting HPV in cervical specimens. However, these results also suggest that there is a need to standardize the type-specific sensitivity of genotyping methods and to evaluate their accuracy to detect multiple HPV infections. This would be a prerequisite for the use of genotyping assays in cervical cancer screening algorithms.

Abstract: International audience; The bacterial epidemiology of bacterascites and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is evolving. Four hundred and eleven strains isolated from ascites in cirrhotic patients from 5 French hospitals were isolated in 2006 and 2007. Of these, 114 were definitely associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. The proportion of Gram-positive and Gram-negative agents was quite similar, even after excluding coagulase-negative staphylococci, or when considering only definite spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or community-acquired strains. Staphylococci and Escherichia coli were the most frequent pathogens, but enterococci were also involved in nearly 15% of the cases. Among the E. coli, 28% were intermediate or resistant to amoxicillin+clavulanate, 5.3% expressed cephalosporinases or extended beta-lactamases and 17.3% were intermediate or resistant to fluoroquinolones. Resistance to methicillin was observed in 27% of Staphylococcus aureus. Cefotaxime and amoxicillin-clavulanate remained the most effective 'single' agents, however on less than 70% of isolates. Some combinations (such as cefotaxime+amoxicillin) extended coverage to a further 15% of strains. Since inadequate empiric antibiotic therapy is associated with increased mortality, these combinations may be of great interest as first-line treatment, even though they may also lead to the development of antimicrobial resistance. Repeated epidemiological surveys and new clinical trials are thus needed.

Abstract: International audience; Renal transplantation is considered to be a cost-effective therapy, but hospital medical costs are not accurately known. The aim of this work was to evaluate the costs of hospital stay for renal transplantation. This retrospective study included all patients who underwent renal transplantation between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2005, in our University hospital. The incurred costs were determined using our center's analytical accounting (AA). The mean local cost was then compared with the median national cost of hospitalization for renal transplantation, based on a sample of participating centers contributing to the National Cost Scale (NCS) per homogenous diagnosis-related group (DRG). These mean costs were weighed against the financing obtained by national rates of the case-mix based payment system (termed T2A). Data were collected from 77 patients. Their mean length of stay was 19.4 days. AA determined the cost of management to be euro14,100 per patient. National economic approaches were significantly higher: euro16,389 for NCS and euro17,369 for national rates. Thus, the specific DRG rate (case mix index) of renal transplantation covers the expenses incurred by our center. These results are rather interesting; however, it is unlike those obtained for the management of other diseases such as acute myeloid leukemia, where T2A underestimates the actual cost by 2-4 times. Last, the hospital budget and T2A must be considered as a whole. The fact that DRGs with favorable and unfavorable pricing balance out should be taken into account.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of testis rupture after scrotal trauma and its sensitivity and specificity for testis rupture, tunica albuginea breach, testicular hematoma, testis avulsion, epididymis injuries, and hematocele. METHODS: Between 1996 and 2006, 33 patients underwent surgical exploration for blunt scrotal trauma. All these patients had an emergency scrotal ultrasonography with the use of a 7.5 or 10 MHz linear transducer. Ultrasonographic findings were compared with surgical findings to calculate sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography for each type of lesion. RESULTS: Of 33 patients, 16 presented a testis rupture. Testis rupture was in all cases suspected ultrasonographically by the loss of contour of the testis and heterogeneous parenchyma. Tunica albuginea breach was visualized in only 8 patients. Sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for testis rupture were 100% and 65%, respectively. Moreover, ultrasonography allowed diagnosis of hematocele (sensitivity: 87% and specificity: 89%), testicular hematoma (sensitivity: 71%, specificity: 77%), and testis avulsion (sensitivity: 100%, specificity: 97%). Ultrasonography results for epididymis injuries were poor. On 7 patients, 3 epididymis lesions were misdiagnosed by ultrasound examination. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasonography can distinguish various scrotal injuries. Testicular rupture is probably the most severe injury that needs early surgical treatment to improve testis salvage rate. In our work, ultrasonography is highly sensitive in the diagnosis of testis rupture and can provide information on the scrotal contents integrity that can help the physician to determine the optimal treatment.

Abstract: International audience; The objective of this study was to estimate the cumulative incidences of failure by months 12 (M12) and 24 (M24) for the most prescribed first-line anti-retroviral regimens (ART). It is retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database. All patients who initiated their first ART with the most prescribed regimens between 1st January 2004 and 30th June 2013 in 12 large HIV reference centers in France were included. The outcome was treatment failure--defined by any treatment modification for virological or tolerability reasons--and comparisons between regimens were carried out at M12 and M24. Adjusted and weighted methods via the propensity score (PS) were used to compare the effectiveness of the first antiretroviral regimens. Potential confounders of the treatment-outcome association were used to estimate PS with multinomial logistic regression. Overall, 3128 and 2690 patients were included in the M12 and M24 analyses, respectively. Patients received 5 different regimens (ABC/3TC with ATV/r or DRV/r, TDF/FTC with ATV/r, DRV/r, or EFV). Failure was reported in 25% and 42% at M12 and M24, respectively. Patients who received TDF/FTC/EFV had a significantly higher proportion of failure at M12 by comparison with TDF/FTC with DRV/r (reference), but not at M24. Patients in the 3 other groups had a trend toward a higher proportion of failure at M12 although not statistically significant. No difference was found at M24. Using data from a large prospective cohort, we found that boosted atazanavir and darunavir had comparable effectiveness, whatever the associated NRTIs, whereas efavirenz-based regimens were relatively less performing on the short term.

Abstract: International audience; INTRODUCTION: Anaemia is a common toxicity in cancer patients and epoetins (EPOs) are now an established treatment. The economic profile of EPO treatment was assessed in patients with breast cancer treated by adjuvant-chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two strategies were compared: without treatment by EPO and with the possible use of treatment by EPO (epoetin alfa) when required. The clinical effectiveness criterion was time adjusted to quality of life and economic data included only direct medical costs. MAIN RESULTS: One hundred ninety-two patients were included. In the group with the strategy containing the possible use of EPO, 45.5% of patients effectively received EPO. A significant difference in the haemoglobin level profile over time was observed which provided a significant overall benefit of 0.0052 (p

Abstract: Objective Whether sex-related differences in the prognosis of infective endocarditis (IE) are due to differences in disease severity or comorbid patterns, physiological specificities or a treatment indication bias is unclear. We conducted an analysis of the pooled database of two population-based cohorts of IE to reassess the relationships between sex, early valve surgery (EVS) and outcome in patients with IE. Methods Demographic and baseline characteristics, complications and outcome were compared in men and women with Duke-definite left-sided IE. A propensity model for EVS was constructed using multivariate logistic regression. Factors associated with 1-year mortality were identified using multivariate Cox models adjusted for EVS factors. Results The study population included 466 (75%) men and 154 (25%) women. Compared with men, women were older (p=0.005), were more often on haemodialysis (p=0.04), more often had a mitral valve IE (50.0% vs 35.8%, p=0.02), less often developed a septic shock (p=0.05), less often underwent EVS (p=0.001) yet had comparable inhospital mortality rates (20.1% vs 20.0%, p=0.96) and similar 1-year survival probability (logrank p=0.68). Female sex was neither associated with EVS (OR 0.76 (95% CI 0.49 to 1.16)) nor mortality (HR 1.17 (95% CI 0.80 to 1.69)). However EVS was associated with an increased risk of death in women in the early postoperative period (HR 8.72 (95% CI 3.42 to 22.24), p= Conclusions Women underwent EVS less often than men. However female sex was independently associated with neither EVS nor 1-year mortality. The reasons for a higher risk of early postoperative mortality in women must still be elucidated.

Abstract: International audience; The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region (XUAR) in north-western China is known to be endemic for Echinococcosis multilocularis, the causative agent of human alveolar echinococcosis (HAE). Despite regular reports of HAE cases in their region, very little is known about the local epidemiology of the disease or the transmission of E. multilocularis. The epidemiology of HAE in Xinjiang has now been investigated by the analysis of data collected from the medical records of 157 clinical cases who had attended the four main hospitals in the region. These data indicate that the disease is relatively common in the Altai, western Junggar, and Tianshan mountain ranges, whereas the Tarim and Junggar basins are likely to be of low endemicity. The prevalence of the disease in the Kunlun mountains is not clear. Semi-nomadic groups, especially those of Kazakh or Mongol origin, have a higher risk of infection than other ethnic groups. Prevalence of the disease in humans appears to be correlated with aspects of the local climate, such as annual precipitation and temperature. Red foxes, Microtinae, Ochotona spp. and Marmota spp. may be important hosts of E. multilocularis in the XUAR, sustaining the transmission cycles of the parasite.

Abstract: International audience; Concern is growing in Europe about alveolar echinococcosis (AE) with the increase in grassland rodent and red fox populations, intermediate and definitive hosts for Echinococcus multilocularis, respectively. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of rodent densities on human AE distribution. Spatial Poisson regression analyses were performed with geomorphologic features, landscape composition, climatic characteristics, and water vole density as independent variables. The outcome consisted of AE cases diagnosed over the period 1980-1992. High vole density yielded a 10-fold risk (relative risk [RR] = 10.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.78-38.39), and the first plateau (400-700 m altitude) compared with the plain (200-400 m) was associated with a large increase in risk (RR = 7.10, 95% CI = 1.30-38.63). These results confirm that human AE is strongly influenced by the densities of arvicolid species. Foxes feeding almost exclusively on grassland rodents when the latter expand could mediate this relation.

Abstract: International audience; Central nervous system (CNS) angiitis is a rare inflammatory disorder. To date, clinical data are lacking and treatment remains a matter of debate. The aim of this study is to analyse the main characteristics, response to therapy and outcome of 32 patients with CNS angiitis. Single-centre retrospective study in a tertiary centre was made. Diagnosis of CNS angiitis was made by cerebral angiography and/or magnetic resonance angiography and/or CNS biopsy. The main features and outcomes of primary and secondary CNS angiitis were compared and predictive factors of a favourable outcome were searched. Thirty-one patients (median age 45 Q1-Q3 37-54) sex ratio F/M 2.1) were included. Main clinical features were hemiparesis (35.5 %) and headache (29 %). The median CSF protein level was 0.64(0.52-0.81) g/L and was superior to 1 g/L in six cases. CNS magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings were most frequently ischemic (96.8 %), bilateral (83.9 %), multiple (87.1 %) and supratentorial (96.8 %). The MR angiography was abnormal in all cases. Among the 31 patients in the study, 19 (61.3 %) were diagnosed with primary CNS angiitis. Systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 6) and vasculitis (n = 4) were the most frequent aetiologies of secondary CNS angiitis. No difference was evidenced between primary and secondary CNS angiitis. Steroids were administered in 79.2 % of treated patients and combined with immunosuppressants in 79.2 % of cases. Eight cases of CNS angiitis relapse were noted. CNS angiitis remains a severe illness. Treatment often associated steroids and immunosuppressants, and diagnosis delay is significantly associated with a poorer prognosis.

Abstract: Background Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) and protease inhibitor (PI)/ritonavir sparing regimens may be useful to some HIV-infected patients. Nevirapine (NVP) and raltegravir (RAL) are both potent antiretrovirals with good long-term safety profiles. Methods We retrospectively identified from our electronic database all patients with HIV RNA6 months on an NVP-containing regimen and no prior exposure to integrase strand transfer inhibitors who were switched to RAL plus NVP. Data was collected for 36 months or until discontinuation of RAL plus NVP for any reason. Results A total of 39 patients (30 male) were included in this analysis. Median duration of prior antiretroviral therapy was 14 years (IQR 10–17) and median duration with plasma HIV-1 RNAConclusions In patients with prolonged HIV-1 RNA

Abstract: International audience; Approximately 25-35% of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are older than 70 years. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of depletion of skeletal muscle (sarcopenia) in elderly patients with DLBCL. This retrospective analysis included 82 patients with DLBCL older than 70 years and treated with R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, Oncovin, prednisone) or R-miniCHOP. Sarcopenia was measured by the analysis of stored computed tomography (CT) images at the L3 level at baseline. The surface of the muscular tissues was selected according to the CT Hounsfield unit. This value was normalized for stature in order to calculate the lumbar L3 skeletal muscle index (LSMI, in cm(2)/m(2)). The mean age of the population was 78 years. According to the defined cut-offs for LSMI, 45 patients with DLBCL were considered sarcopenic. Sarcopenic patients displayed a higher revised International Prognostic Index (R-IPI) compared with patients without sarcopenia, and were older, with a mean age of 80 years and 77 years, respectively (p = 0.006). With a median follow-up of 39 months, the 2-year overall survival in the sarcopenic population was 46% compared with 84% in the non-sarcopenic group (HR = 3.22; 95% CI = 1.73-5.98; p = 0.0002). In a multivariate analysis, sarcopenia remained predictive of outcome (p = 0.005). Sarcopenia is a relevant and predictive factor in elderly patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab plus chemotherapy.

Abstract: International audience; UNLABELLED: In newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the sensitivity of bone marrow biopsy (BMB) for the detection of bone marrow involvement (BMI) can be low because of sampling error if the BMI is focal and not diffuse. Although (18)F-FDG PET/CT is now recommended for initial staging of DLBCL, its role regarding BMI is not well defined. This study evaluated whether (18)F-FDG PET/CT, in comparison with BMB, is useful for the detection of BMI and predictive of outcome. METHODS: From the 142 patients who were referred to our institution for newly diagnosed DLBCL from June 2006 to October 2011, 133 were retrospectively enrolled in our study. All patients underwent whole-body (18)F-FDG PET/CT and a BMB from the iliac crest before any treatment. (18)F-FDG PET/CT was considered positive for BMI in cases of uni- or multifocal bone marrow (18)F-FDG uptake that could not be explained by benign findings on the underlying CT image or history. A final diagnosis of BMI was considered if the BMB was positive or if the positive (18)F-FDG PET/CT was confirmed by guided biopsy or targeted MR imaging or in cases of disappearance of focal bone marrow uptake concomitant with the disappearance of uptake in other lymphoma lesions on (18)F-FDG PET/CT monitoring. Progression-free survival and overall survival were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS: Thirty-three patients were considered to have BMI. Of these, 8 were positive according to the BMB and 32 were positive according to (18)F-FDG PET/CT. (18)F-FDG PET/CT was more sensitive (94% vs. 24%; P < 0.001), showed a higher negative predictive value (98% vs. 80%), and was more accurate (98% vs. 81%) than BMB. Median follow-up was 24 mo (range, 1-67 mo). Twenty-nine patients (22%) experienced recurrence or disease progression during follow-up, and 20 patients died (15%). In multivariate analysis, only the International Prognostic Index and the (18)F-FDG PET/CT bone marrow status were independent predictors of progression-free survival (P = 0.005 and 0.02, respectively), whereas only the International Prognostic Index remained an independent predictor of overall survival (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION: Assessment of BMI with (18)F-FDG PET/CT provides better diagnostic performance and prognostic stratification in newly diagnosed DLBCL than does BMB.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to assess the detection of circulating DNA from the most common species of Mucorales for early diagnosis of mucormycosis in at-risk patients. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated a combination of 3 quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays using hydrolysis probes targeting Mucor/Rhizopus, Lichtheimia (formerly Absidia), and Rhizomucor for circulating Mucorales detection. Serial serum samples from 10 patients diagnosed with proven mucormycosis (2-9 samples per patient) were analyzed. RESULTS: No cross-reactivity was detected in the 3 qPCR assays using 19 reference strains of opportunistic fungi, and the limit of detection ranged from 3.7 to 15 femtograms/10 µL, depending on the species. DNA from Mucorales was detected in the serum of 9 of 10 patients between 68 and 3 days before mucormycosis diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination and/or positive culture. All the qPCR results were concordant with culture and/or PCR-based identification of the causing agents in tissue (Lichtheimia species, Rhizomucor species, and Mucor/Rhizopus species in 4, 3, and 2 patients, respectively). Quantitative PCR was negative in only 1 patient with proven disseminated mucormycosis caused by Lichtheimia species. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that using specific qPCR targeting several species of Mucorales according to local ecology to screen at-risk patients could be useful in a clinical setting. The cost and efficacy of this strategy should be evaluated. However, given the human and economic cost of mucormycosis and the need for rapid diagnosis to initiate prompt directed antifungal therapy, this strategy could be highly attractive.

Abstract: International audience; During 1982-2007, alveolar echinococcosis (AE) was diagnosed in 407 patients in France, a country previously known to register half of all European patients. To better define high-risk groups in France, we conducted a national registry-based study to identify areas where persons were at risk and spatial clusters of cases. We interviewed 180 AE patients about their way of life and compared responses to those of 517 controls. We found that almost all AE patients lived in 22 départements in eastern and central France (relative risk 78.63, 95% CI 52.84-117.02). Classification and regression tree analysis showed that the main risk factor was living in AE-endemic areas. There, most at-risk populations lived in rural settings (odds ratio [OR] 66.67, 95% CI 6.21-464.51 for farmers and OR 6.98, 95% CI 2.88-18.25 for other persons) or gardened in nonrural settings (OR 4.30, 95% CI 1.82-10.91). These findings can help sensitization campaigns focus on specific groups.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: Data on the prognosis of non-infectious mixed cryoglobulinaemia vasculitis (CryoVas) in the era of hepatitis C virus screening are lacking. METHODS: The French multicentre and retrospective CryoVas survey included 242 patients with non-infectious mixed CryoVas. Causes of death and prognostic factors of survival were assessed and a prognostic score was determined to predict survival at 5 years. RESULTS: After a median follow-up of 35 months, 42 patients (17%) died. Causes of death were mainly serious infections (50%) and vasculitis flare (19%). One-, 2-, 5- and 10-year overall survival rates were 91%, 89%, 79% and 65%, respectively. A prognostic score, the CryoVas score (CVS), for the prediction of survival at 5 years was devised. Pulmonary and gastrointestinal involvement, glomerular filtration rate 65 years were independently associated with death. At 5 years the death rates were 2.6%, 13.1%, 29.6% and 38.5% for a CVS of 0, 1, 2 and ≥3, respectively. At 1 year the death rates were 0%, 3.2%, 18.5% and 30.8% for a CVS of 0, 1, 2 and ≥3, respectively. The CVS was strongly correlated with the Five Factor Score (FFS) 2009, another prognostic score validated in primary necrotising vasculitis (r=0.82; p65 years, pulmonary and gastrointestinal involvement and renal failure. A score including these variables is significantly associated with the prognosis.

Abstract: Background— The origin of congenital or childhood nonimmune isolated atrioventricular (AV) block remains unknown. We hypothesized that this conduction abnormality in the young may be a heritable disease. Methods and Results— A multicenter retrospective study (13 French referral centers, from 1980–2009) included 141 children with AV block diagnosed in utero, at birth, or before 15 years of age without structural heart abnormalities and without maternal antibodies. Parents and matched control subjects were investigated for family history and for ECG screening. In parents, a family history of sudden death or progressive cardiac conduction defect was found in 1.4% and 11.1%, respectively. Screening ECGs from 130 parents (mean age 42.0±6.8 years, 57 couples) were compared with those of 130 matched healthy control subjects. All parents were asymptomatic and in sinus rhythm, except for 1 with undetected complete AV block. Conduction abnormalities were more frequent in parents than in control subjects, found in 50.8% versus 4.6%, respectively ( P P P P SCN5A mutation screening identified 2 mutations in 2 patients among 97 children. Conclusions— ECG screening in parents of children affected by idiopathic AV block revealed a high prevalence of conduction abnormalities. These results support the hypothesis of an inheritable trait in congenital and childhood nonimmune isolated AV block.

Abstract: Aim: To assess the clinical features, treatment and outcome of oral sarcoidosis and to determine whether oral involvement is associated with a particular clinical phenotype of sarcoidosis. Design: Multicentric retrospective study. Methods: Retrospective chart review. Each patient was matched with four controls. Results: Twelve patients (9 women, 3 men) were identified. Their median age at sarcoidosis diagnosis was 38 years. Oral involvement was the first clinical evidence of sarcoidosis in seven cases and was a relapse symptom in five cases. Clinical presentations were nodules ( n = 7) or ulcers ( n = 5) and were mostly solitary. The tongue was the commonest site affected ( n = 4), followed by lips ( n = 3), oral mucosa ( n = 2), palate ( n = 2) and gingiva ( n = 1). Patients with oral sarcoidosis were significantly younger and had more frequent lacrimal or salivary glands and upper airway tract clinical involvement than the controls; increased angiotensin-converting enzyme was less frequent in oral sarcoidosis. Multiple treatments of oral sarcoidosis were used: no treatment ( n = 3), surgery ( n = 2), corticosteroids ( n = 7), hydroxychloroquine ( n = 3), methotrexate ( n = 2), doxycycline ( n = 1). Methotrexate was efficient in one patient, hydroxychloroquine showed benefit in only 1 out of 3 patients. Three patients presented oral relapses. After a mean follow-up of 6 years, 10 patients experienced a complete ( n = 7) or partial ( n = 3) remission of oral sarcoidosis; stability was observed in the remaining two cases. Conclusion: Although oral manifestations of sarcoidosis are unusual, physicians should be aware that this specific localization is frequently the first manifestation of the disease. Treatment modalities range from observation in asymptomatic patients to immunosuppressants for severe involvement.

Abstract: International audience; Census and disposal data provide a multipurpose source of information on cattle mortality. The retrospective analyses we conducted on the data gathered in the National Cattle Register produced relevant information for describing and modelling the cattle mortality baseline and evaluating the impact of the 2007-2008 Blue Tongue epidemic on the French cattle population. This work was conducted retrospectively but showed that monitoring cattle mortality near real time could help detecting unexpected events. We are thus currently working on a timely and automated system to monitor cadaver disposal requests received by rendering plants, thanks to a data interchange system recently implemented between the Ministry of Agriculture and the fallen stock companies. Besides technical and methodological challenges, using these data for surveillance purposes raises epidemiological questions that still need to be answered. The question remains notably as to whether an abnormal increased mortality is a sensitive and timely signal for detecting unexpected health events. It appears also very challenging to identify the most adequate surveillance scale (time, space and population) and the most adequate anomaly detection algorithms to apply when the characteristics of the signals to be detected (shape, amplitude, etc.) are not known a priori. In Human health, similar systems have not yet proven their ability to detect unexpected events earlier than classical surveillance systems currently in place, but they have already demonstrated their value for real time assessment of identified and potentially dangerous events. Combined with traditional surveillance systems, we think that monitoring routinely collected data could improve the surveillance of the animal population health. Even if not used for detection purposes, cattle mortality monitoring could be used to rapidly produce information on the impact and evolution of identified events, what would facilitate decision-making regarding management measures and improve the communication.

Abstract: Data on the clinical spectrum and therapeutic management of noninfectious mixed cryoglobulinemia vasculitis (CryoVas) in the era of hepatitis C virus screening are lacking. We analyzed data from 242 patients with noninfectious mixed CryoVas included in the French multicenter CryoVas survey. Baseline manifestations were purpura (75%), peripheral neuropathy (52%), arthralgia or arthritis (44%), glomerulonephritis (35%), cutaneous ulcers (16%), and cutaneous necrosis (14%). A connective tissue disease was diagnosed in 30% and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 22%, whereas the CryoVas was considered to be essential in 48%. With the use of Cox-marginal structural models, rituximab plus corticosteroids showed the greater therapeutic efficacy compared with corticosteroids alone and alkylating agents plus corticosteroids to achieve complete clinical, renal, and immunologic responses and a prednisone dosage < 10 mg/d at 6 months. However, this regimen was also associated with severe infections, particularly when high doses of corticosteroids were used, whereas death rates did not differ between the therapeutic regimens. The role of each of these strategies remains to be defined in well-designed randomized controlled trials.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to evaluate temporal trends in infective endocarditis (IE) incidence and clinical characteristics after 2002 French IE prophylaxis guideline modifications. BACKGROUND: There are limited data on changes in the epidemiology of IE since recent guidelines recommended restricting the indications of antibiotic prophylaxis of IE. METHODS: Three 1-year population-based surveys were conducted in 1991, 1999, and 2008 in 3 French regions totaling 11 million inhabitants age ≥20 years. We prospectively collected IE cases from all medical centers and analyzed age- and sex-standardized IE annual incidence trends. RESULTS: Overall, 993 expert-validated IE cases were analyzed (323 in 1991; 331 in 1999; and 339 in 2008). IE incidence remained stable over time (95% confidence intervals given in parentheses/brackets): 35 (31 to 39), 33 (30 to 37), and 32 (28 to 35) cases per million in 1991, 1999, and 2008, respectively. Oral streptococci IE incidence did not increase either in the whole patient population (8.1 [6.4 to 10.1], 6.3 [4.8 to 8.1], and 6.3 [4.9 to 8.0] in 1991, 1999, and 2008, respectively) or in patients with pre-existing native valve disease. The increased incidence of Staphylococcus aureus IE (5.2 [3.9 to 6.8], 6.8 [5.3 to 8.6], and 8.2 [6.6 to 10.2]) was not significant in the whole patient population (p = 0.228) but was significant in the subgroup of patients without previously known native valve disease (1.6 [0.9 to 2.7], 3.7 [2.6 to 5.1], and 4.1 [3.0 to 5.6]; p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS: Scaling down antibiotic prophylaxis indications was not associated with an increased incidence of oral streptococcal IE. A focus on avoidance of S. aureus bacteremia in all patients, including those with no previously known valve disease, will be required to improve IE prevention.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVES: To study the prognostic impact of muscularis mucosae (MM) invasion for pT1 bladder cancer treated by transurethral resection (TUR) and adjuvant Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) intravesical immunotherapy. METHODS: Sixty-six patients treated by BCG intravesical instillations were substaged into pT1a and pT1b, regarding Muscularis Mucosae invasion. Tumor grade, associated carcinoma in situ (CIS), multifocality, tumoral size up to 3cm, BCG maintenance were noted. With a mean follow-up of 50.5±38 months, we studied recurrence, progression, overall and specific survival. Cox's model method was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Tumor recurrence was observed in 30±7% and 43±10% (P=0.29) and tumor progression in 16.3±5% and 39±10% (P=0.04) for pT1a and pT1b. The rate of progression was higher (P=0.04) and progression free survival was decreased (P=0.04) for pT1b. Specific death rates were 11±5% and 21±9% (P=0.28), median overall survival was 80.9 [1.5-92] and 48.2 [12-93] months for pT1a and pT1b. Overall and specific survival weren't different between the two populations (P=0.38; P=0.3). Cystectomy rates were 2.3±2% and 30±9% for pT1a and PT1b (P=0.0006). For pT1a patients, recurrence (P=0.8) or progression rates (P=0.64) were no different regarding BCG maintenance immunotherapy but pT1b population had a better progression free survival with BCG maintenance than without (P=0.0051). Only CIS had prognostic value in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Tumors with Muscularis Mucosae invasion have a higher risk of progression and BCG failure. Maintenance immunotherapy should be given to improve results with these patients.

Abstract: International audience; CONTEXT: Craniopharyngiomas are often associated with an unfavorable prognosis, but data on their long-term consequences are sparse. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to identify markers of recurrence and factors associated with compromised social rehabilitation and altered quality of life in a large cohort of patients with either childhood-onset (CO) or adult-onset craniopharyngioma. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed for 171 patients treated for craniopharyngioma in two academic centers in France between 1972 and 2009. For each subject, data were collected concerning clinical presentation, imaging features, visual sequelae, endocrine and metabolic impact, treatment modalities (surgery, radiotherapy), recurrence-free survival rate, and social insertion, as well as answers to the WHO-QOL BREF questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 65 CO and 106 adult-onset patients were reviewed. If CO was diagnosed before the age of 10 yr, this was associated with a higher incidence of obesity, blindness, and panhypopituitarism, and only 40.7% of subjects had adequate work or school attendance compared to 72.4% of patients with later disease onset. Initial symptoms of intracranial hypertension (SIHT), pterional surgery, and multiple surgery were associated with obesity and poorer social insertion. No determinant of quality of life was identified. In the subgroup of patients treated in the 1990s and later, the progression rate was 59.4% in patients with residual tumor on magnetic resonance imaging compared with a 19.8% recurrence rate in the group with apparently complete resection. Recurrence/progression correlates significantly with male gender, early onset (before 10 yr), and SIHT, but only SIHT at presentation remained a significant predictor with multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Craniopharyngioma continues to be associated with severe outcomes. Higher morbidity rates are found in patients with early-onset disease (before 10 yr), initial SIHT, or in whom pterional surgery was required. Markers of recurrence are difficult to identify, with SIHT being the most powerful predictor.

Abstract: International audience; AIMS: The natural history of congenital or childhood non-immune, isolated atrioventricular (AV) block is poorly defined. METHODS AND RESULTS: We retrospectively studied 141 children with isolated, non-immune AV block diagnosed in utero, or up to 15 years of age, at 13 French medical centres, between 1980 and 2009. Patients with structural heart disease or maternal antibodies were excluded. Atrioventricular block was asymptomatic in 119 (84.4%) and complete in 100 (70.9%) patients. There was progression to complete AV block in 29/41 (70.7%) patients with incomplete AV block over 2.8 ± 3.4 years (1-155 months), but all patients with incomplete AV block may not have been included in the study. Narrow QRS complex was present in 18 of 26 patients (69.2%) with congenital, and 106 of 115 (92.2%) with childhood AV block. Pacemakers were implanted in 112 children (79.4%), during the first year of life in 18 (16.1%) and before 10 years of age in 90 (80.4%). The mean interval between diagnosis of AV block and pacemaker implants was 2.6 ± 3.9 years (0-300 months). The pacing indication was prophylactic in 70 children (62.5%). During a mean follow-up of 11.6 ± 6.7 years (1-32 years), no patient died or developed dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The long-term follow-up was uncomplicated in 127 children (90.1%). CONCLUSION: In this large multicentre study, the long-term outcome of congenital or childhood non-immune, isolated AV block was favourable, regardless of the patient's age at the time of diagnosis. No patient died or developed DCM, and pacemaker-related complications were few.

Abstract: International audience; This retrospective multicenter report assessed the outcome of 600 patients with hematologic diseases older than 60 years who received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with the specific aim to compare outcomes of patients between 60 and 65 years old (N = 493) with those older than 65 years (N = 107). Except for donor age, there were no significant differences between the groups regarding patients, diseases, and allo-HSCT characteristics. At time of RIC allo-HSCT, 276 patients (46%) were in complete remission. With a median follow-up of 22.8 and 23.7 months in the younger and the older groups, respectively, 2-year relapse, nonrelapse mortality, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were similar in both groups (29.6% vs. 20.4%; 29.9% vs. 34.6%; 40.6% vs. 46.7%; 49.2% vs. 50.2%, respectively; P = NS for all comparisons). In a Cox multivariate analysis, after adjustment for disease and transplant factors, age per se was not an adverse factor for survival (relative risk = 1.08; 95% confidence interval, 0.81-1.44, P = .62). We conclude that in selected patients, RIC allo-HSCT could be offered to patients over 65 years old.

Abstract: Purpose To investigate the impact of prior-to-transplantation azacitidine (AZA) on patient outcome after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (alloSCT) for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients and Methods Of the 265 consecutive patients who underwent alloSCT for MDS between October 2005 and December 2009, 163 had received cytoreductive treatment prior to transplantation, including induction chemotherapy (ICT) alone (ICT group; n = 98), AZA alone (AZA group; n = 48), or AZA preceded or followed by ICT (AZA-ICT group; n = 17). At diagnosis, 126 patients (77%) had an excess of marrow blasts, and 95 patients (58%) had intermediate-2 or high-risk MDS according to the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS). Progression to more advanced disease before alloSCT was recorded in 67 patients. Donors were sibling (n = 75) or HLA-matched unrelated (10/10; n = 88). They received blood (n = 142) or marrow (n = 21) grafts following either myeloablative (n = 33) or reduced intensity (n = 130) conditioning. Results With a median follow-up of 38.7 months, 3-year outcomes in the AZA, ICT, and AZA-ICT groups were 55%, 48%, and 32% (P = .07) for overall survival (OS); 42%, 44%, and 29% (P = .14) for event-free survival (EFS); 40%, 37%, and 36% (P = .86) for relapse; and 19%, 20%, and 35% (P = .24) for nonrelapse mortality (NRM), respectively. Multivariate analysis confirmed the absence of statistical differences between the AZA and the ICT groups in terms of OS, EFS, relapse, and NRM. Conclusion With the goal of downstaging underlying disease before alloSCT, AZA alone led to outcomes similar to those for standard ICT.

Abstract: International audience; AIMS: To examine in a population of post-operative tetralogy of Fallot patients, the correlation between right ventricle (RV) ejection fractions (EF) computed from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three echocardiographic indices of RV function: TAPSE, longitudinal strain and strain rate. Indeed, these patients present a pulmonary regurgitation which is responsible for progressive dilatation of the RV. An echocardiographic assessment of the RV function would be very useful in determining the timing of pulmonary revalvulation for Fallot patients. However, these indices are generally based on the ventricle contraction in the long axis direction which is impaired in this population and does not seem to correlate with the EF. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty-five post-operative tetralogy of Fallot patients and 20 patients with normal RVs were included. In both groups, RVEF, assessed by MRI, was compared with the three echocardiographic indices. Longitudinal strain and strain rates were computed both on the free wall and on the whole RV. No correlation was found between the echocardiographic indices and the MRI EF in our Fallot population. The accuracy of those indices as a diagnostic test of an altered RV was low with Younden's indices varying from -0.18 to 0.5 and areas under the Receiver Operating Characterictic (ROC) curves equal to 0.54 for tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion, 0.59-0.62 for strain and 0.57-0.63 for strain rate. CONCLUSION: Three conventional echocardiographic indices based on RV longitudinal contraction failed to assess the EF in our population of post-operative tetralogy of Fallot patients.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND & AIMS: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare disease in humans, caused by the larval stage of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. METHODS: We present here 387 detailed AE cases diagnosed in France from 1982 to 2007 actively identified by a retrospective survey performed in 1997-1998 and prospectively thereafter. RESULTS: Male:female ratio was 1.03 and mean age 57.8 years at time of diagnosis. Among the 362 complete files (including 347 non dead-out and 15 dead-out lesions), 73% of the patients were symptomatic at first admittance. Among them, 83% presented with clinical patterns evocative either of a digestive or a hepatic disorder. Other symptomatic patients presented with erratic clinical pictures, generally due to metastasis or extra-hepatic location of the parasite. Except for a few patients with particularly severe AE who died shortly after the diagnosis, most patients were treated using benzimidazoles. Their mortality tends to merge with that of the general French population, matched by sex, age, and calendar year. This study also highlights an unexpectedly high frequency of blood-tied family cases (13% of patients submitted to a specific questionnaire). CONCLUSIONS: Even though the broad set of clinical features provoked by E. multilocularis makes AE a potential diagnostic trap for many physicians, our study revealed an improvement of its prognosis. However, as shown by our findings about the frequency of family cases, there is still a need for studies aimed at better describing this uncommon parasitic disease.

Abstract: International audience; Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum infection is rare outside disease-endemic areas. Clinical presentation and outcome of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related histoplasmosis are unknown in non-endemic areas with wide access to highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). Retrospective analysis of cases recorded at the French National Reference Center for Mycoses and Antifungals during two decades: pre-HAART (1985-1994) and HAART (1997-2006). Clinical features and outcome of all adults with proven acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related histoplasmosis were compared between the two periods. One hundred four patients were included (40 during the pre-HAART era and 64 during the HAART era). Diagnosis was established a mean of 62 days after onset of symptoms. One-year overall mortality rates decreased from 53% (pre-HAART era) to 22% (HAART era). Diagnosis during the pre-HAART era and an older age were the only independent factors associated with death. Histoplasmosis is a rare invasive fungal infection outside disease-endemic areas. Its prognosis improved significantly during the HAART era.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: Suppression ratio (SR) derived from bispectral index (BIS) monitoring is correlated to EEG burst suppression. It may occur during deep anaesthesia, but also in the case of metabolic or haemodynamic brain injury. The goal of the study was to describe the occurrence of SR and to determine factors associated with SR during propofol-remifentanil general anaesthesia maintenance. METHODS: We conducted a post hoc analysis of BIS recordings in consecutive patients included in two multi-centre trials, undergoing non-cardiac surgery using a dual closed-loop BIS controller allowing automated propofol-remifentanil administration. The percentage of time spent with a BIS value between 40 and 60 (T(BIS 40-60)) was measured. Two groups of patients were defined: the SR group, including patients with at least one episode of SR value >10% lasting more than 1 min, and the control group. Factors associated with SR were analysed using a stepwise multivariate analysis. RESULTS: A total of 1494 patients [age=57 (17) yr; T(BIS 40-60)=76 (17%)] were analysed and 131 (8.7%) patients constituted the SR group. The main independent factors associated with SR were advanced age [odds ratio (95% confidence interval)=4.80 (1.85-12.43) (P=0.027), 10.59 (3.76-29.81) (P80 yr, respectively], history of coronary artery disease (CAD) [2.53 (1.47-4.37) (P=0.001)] and male gender [1.57 (1.03-2.40) (P=0.03)]. CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of SR during BIS-controlled propofol and remifentanil anaesthesia is mainly observed in elderly male patients or in patients with a history of CAD. The mechanisms underlying SR and the potential consequences for the patient's postoperative outcome remain unsolved.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at risk of developing renal tumours. OBJECTIVE: Compare clinical, pathologic, and outcome features of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) in ESRD patients and in patients from the general population. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-four French university departments of urology participated in this retrospective study. INTERVENTION: All patients were treated according to current European Association of Urology guidelines. MEASUREMENTS: Age, sex, symptoms, tumour staging and grading, histologic subtype, and outcome were recorded in a unique database. Categoric and continuous variables were compared by using chi-square and student statistical analyses. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) was assessed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox methods. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: The study included 1250 RCC patients: 303 with ESRD and 947 from the general population. In the ESRD patients, age at diagnosis was younger (55 ± 12 yr vs 62 ± 12 yr); mean tumour size was smaller (3.7 ± 2.6 cm vs 7.3 ± 3.8 cm); asymptomatic (87% vs 44%), low-grade (68% vs 42%), and papillary tumours were more frequent (37% vs 7%); and poor performance status (PS; 24% vs 37%) and advanced T categories (≥ 3) were more rare (10% vs 42%). Consistently, nodal invasion (3% vs 12%) and distant metastases (2% vs 15%) occurred less frequently in ESRD patients. After a median follow-up of 33 mo (range: 1-299 mo), 13 ESRD patients (4.3%), and 261 general population patients (27.6%) had died from cancer. In univariate analysis, histologic subtype, symptoms at diagnosis, poor PS, advanced TNM stage, high Fuhrman grade, large tumour size, and non-ESRD diagnosis context were adverse predictors for survival. However, only PS, TNM stage, and Fuhrman grade remained independent CSS predictors in multivariate analysis. The limitation of this study is related to the retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS: RCC arising in native kidneys of ESRD patients seems to exhibit many favourable clinical, pathologic, and outcome features compared with those diagnosed in patients from the general population.

Abstract: International audience; Abstract PURPOSE: To determine whether a relationship exists between the tumor volume (TV) or relative choline content determined using magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) at 3T and the clinical prognostic parameters for patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 72 men (mean age, 67.8 ± 6.2 years) were stratified as having low-risk (n = 26), intermediate-risk (n = 24), or high-risk (n = 22) PCa. MRSI was performed at 3T using a phased-array coil. Spectra are expressed as the total choline/citrate, total choline plus creatine/citrate, and total choline plus polyamines plus creatine/citrate ratios. The mean ratio of the most pathologic voxels and the MRSI-based TV were also determined. RESULTS: The mean values of the total choline/citrate, total choline plus creatine/citrate, and total choline plus polyamine plus creatine/citrate ratios were greater for Stage T2b or greater tumors vs. Stage T2a or less tumors: 7.53 ± 13.60 vs. 2.31 ± 5.65 (p = .018), 8.98 ± 14.58 vs. 2.56 ± 5.70 (p = .016), and 10.32 ± 15.47 vs. 3.55 ± 6.16 (p = .014), respectively. The mean MRSI-based TV for Stage T2b or greater and Stage T2a or less tumors was significantly different (2.23 ± 2.62 cm(3) vs. 1.26 ± 2.06 cm(3), respectively; p = .030). This TV correlated with increased prostate-specific antigen levels (odds ratio, 1.293; p = .012). Patients with high-risk PCa had a larger TV than did the patients with intermediate-risk PCa. A similar result was found for the intermediate-risk group compared with the low-risk group (odds ratio, 1.225; p = .041). CONCLUSION: Biomarkers expressing the relative choline content and TV were significant parameters for the localization of PCa and could be helpful for determining the prognosis more accurately.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can cause chronic hepatitis in recipients of solid organ transplants. However, the factors that contribute to chronic infection and the outcomes of these patients are incompletely understood. We performed a retrospective analysis of data from 17 centers from Europe and the United States that described the progression, outcomes, and factors associated with development of chronic HEV infection in recipients of transplanted solid organs. METHODS: We studied data from 85 recipients of solid organ transplants who were infected with HEV. Chronic HEV infection was defined by the persistent increases in levels of liver enzymes and polymerase chain reaction evidence of HEV in the serum and/or stool for at least 6 months. RESULTS: Fifty-six patients (65.9%) developed chronic hepatitis. Univariate analysis associated liver transplant, shorter times since transplant, lower levels of liver enzymes and serum creatinine, lower platelet counts, and tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive therapy (rather than cyclosporin A) with chronic hepatitis. On multivariate analysis, the independent predictive factors associated with chronic HEV infection were the use of tacrolimus rather than cyclosporin A (odds ratio [OR], 1.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.49-1.97; P = .004) and a low platelet count at the time of diagnosis with HEV infection (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.001-1.1; P = .04). Of patients with chronic hepatitis, 18 (32.1%) achieved viral clearance after the dose of immunosuppressive therapy was reduced. No HEV reactivation was observed after HEV clearance. CONCLUSIONS: HEV infection causes chronic hepatitis in more than 60% of recipients of solid organ transplants. Tacrolimus therapy is the main predictive factor for chronic hepatitis. Dose reductions of immunosuppressive therapy resulted in viral clearance in more than 30% of patients.

Abstract: Background and Purpose— Studies have shown higher stroke incidence in areas with higher levels of deprivation. We aimed to determine the pattern of association between various area socioeconomic status (SES) indicators and stroke incidence in specific sex and age groups. Methods— Data are from the Dijon stroke registry for the period 1995 to 2003. The analyses included 1255 cases aged older than 40 (median age, 76.8). Poisson regression was used to model stroke incidence according to the SES level of 61 small areas. Results— Among women, stroke incidence was higher in neighborhoods with large income inequality (incidence rate ratio, 1.34; P =0.003), higher proportions of unemployed (1.24; P =0.02), of non-French nationals (1.21, P =0.02), and of rented housing (1.31; P =0.03). Areas with a higher proportion of people aged older than 60 were associated with lower stroke incidence (incidence rate ratio, 0.72; P =0.01). Analysis by specific age-groups showed stronger effects among the 60- to 74-year-olds. Among men, no associations between SES and stroke incidence were identified overall but analysis by age groups showed significant effect among the 40- to 59-year-olds. In this age group, incidence rate ratios were 1.47 for unemployment ( P =0.01), 1.86 for no car ownership ( P =0.02), and 1.56 for income inequality ( P =0.01). Among stroke cases, no trend in vascular risk factors prevalence according to area SES was identified. Conclusions— Variations of stroke incidence were more marked for the SES indicators of wealth and of income inequality. They were apparent at an earlier age in men and showed a stronger gradient among women.

Abstract: International audience; Gitelman's syndrome (GS) is a rare, autosomal recessive, salt-losing tubulopathy caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene, which encodes the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC). Because 18 to 40% of suspected GS patients carry only one SLC12A3 mutant allele, large genomic rearrangements may account for unidentified mutations. Here, we directly sequenced genomic DNA from a large cohort of 448 unrelated patients suspected of having GS. We found 172 distinct mutations, of which 100 were unreported previously. In 315 patients (70%), we identified two mutations; in 81 patients (18%), we identified one; and in 52 patients (12%), we did not detect a mutation. In 88 patients, we performed a search for large rearrangements by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and found nine deletions and two duplications in 24 of the 51 heterozygous patients. A second technique confirmed each rearrangement. Based on the breakpoints of seven deletions, nonallelic homologous recombination by Alu sequences and nonhomologous end-joining probably favor these intragenic deletions. In summary, missense mutations account for approximately 59% of the mutations in Gitelman's syndrome, and there is a predisposition to large rearrangements (6% of our cases) caused by the presence of repeated sequences within the SLC12A3 gene.

Abstract: International audience; β-D-(1,3)-glucan (BG) is a component of the cell walls of many fungal organisms. Our aims were to investigate the feasibility of the BG assay and its contribution to early diagnosis of different types of invasive fungal infections (IFI) commonly diagnosed in a tertiary care centre. The BG serum levels of 28 patients diagnosed with six IFI [13 probable invasive aspergillosis (IA), 2 proven IA, 2 zygomycosis, 3 fusariosis, 3 cryptococcosis, 3 candidaemia and 2 pneumocystosis] were retrospectively evaluated. The kinetic variations in BG serum levels from the 15 patients diagnosed with IA were compared with those of the galactomannan antigen (GM). In 5/15 cases of IA, BG was positive earlier than GM (time lapse from 4 to 30 days), in 8/15 cases, BG was positive at the same time as GM and, in 2/15 cases, BG was positive after GM. For the five other fungal diseases, BG was highly positive at the period of diagnosis except for the two cases of zygomycosis and one of the three cases of fusariosis. This study, which reflects the common activity of a tertiary care centre, confirms that BG detection could be of interest for IFI screening in patients with haematological malignancies.
