Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Given the high prevalence of antibiotic prescription during pregnancy in France and previous studies suggesting an increased risk of infection in offspring with such exposures, our study aimed to investigate the association between prenatal exposure to systemic antibiotics and serious infections in full-term infants during their first year of life. 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. Outcomes concerned serious infections (i.e., infections requiring hospitalization) in offspring identified between 3 and 12 months of life, hence excluding infections of maternal origin. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were estimated using logistic regression with multivariate models to control for potential confounders. RESULTS Of 2,836,630 infants included, 39.6% were prenatally exposed to systemic antibiotics. Infants prenatally exposed to antibiotics had a higher incidence of serious infections compared with unexposed infants {aOR 1.12 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.11-1.13]}. Similar associations were observed according to the timing of exposure during pregnancy, antibiotic class, and site of infections. The strongest association was observed when infants were prenatally exposed to three or more antibiotic courses during pregnancy [aOR 1.21 (95% CI 1.19-1.24)]. Limitations include residual confounders, such as genetic susceptibility to infections and the role of the underlying pathogen agent. CONCLUSION Prenatal exposure to systemic antibiotics is very common and is associated with a weak yet significant associations with subsequent serious infectious events during the first year of life. While our study revealed associations, it is important to note that causation cannot be established, given the acknowledged limitations, including potential confounding by indication.

Risk of serious infection associated with different classes of targeted therapies used in psoriatic arthritis: a nationwide cohort study from the French Health Insurance Database (SNDS). RMD Open 2024; 10:e003865. [PMID: 38485454 PMCID: PMC10941117 DOI: 10.1136/rmdopen-2023-003865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the risk of serious infection associated with different targeted therapies for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in real-world settings. METHODS This nationwide cohort study used the administrative healthcare database of the French health insurance scheme linked to the hospital discharge database to identify all adults with PsA who were new users of targeted therapies (adalimumab, etanercept, golimumab, certolizumab pegol, infliximab, secukinumab, ixekizumab, ustekinumab, and tofacitinib) from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2021. The primary outcome was a serious infection (ie, requiring hospitalisation), in a time-to-event analysis using propensity score-weighted Cox models, with adalimumab as the comparator, estimating weighted HRs (wHRs) and their 95% CIs. RESULTS A total of 12 071 patients were included (mean age 48.7±12.7 years; 6965 (57.7%) women). We identified 367 serious infections (3.0% of patients), with a crude incidence rate of 17.0 per 1000 person-years (95% CI, 15.2 to 18.7). After inverse propensity score weighting and adjustment for time-dependent covariates and calendar year, risk of serious infection was significantly lower for new users of etanercept (wHR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.97) or ustekinumab (wHR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.93) than adalimumab new users. This risk was not statistically modified with the other targeted therapies. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of serious infection was low for PsA patients who were new users of targeted therapies in real-world settings. Relative to adalimumab new users, this risk was lower among new users of etanercept and ustekinumab and unmodified for the other molecules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Limited data are available on the consequences of prenatal exposure to vedolizumab and ustekinumab. We aimed to compare the safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab with that of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in pregnant women with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). METHODS Using nationwide, comprehensive data of the EPI-MERES registry, we identified pregnancies in women with IBD in France, exposed to anti-TNF, vedolizumab, and ustekinumab between 2014 and 2021. We compared pregnancy outcomes and complications in the offspring according to treatment exposure during pregnancy. We applied a propensity score matching for maternal, IBD, and pregnancy characteristics. RESULTS Three hundred ninety-eight pregnancies exposed to vedolizumab were compared with 1592 pregnancies exposed to anti-TNF; 464 pregnancies exposed to ustekinumab were compared with 1856 pregnancies exposed to anti-TNF. Overall, compared with anti-TNF, neither vedolizumab nor ustekinumab was associated with increased risks of abortion, caesarean section, stillbirth, preterm birth, serious infections, malignancies, or congenital abnormality in children. Women exposed to ustekinumab had an increased risk of small for gestational age births. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab compared with anti-TNF use during pregnancy is reassuring. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and clinical guidelines use evidence from pharmacoepidemiology studies to inform prescribing decisions and fill evidence gaps left by randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The long-term safety and infrequent adverse reactions are not well-understood when RCTs are short and involve few patients, as is the case for most systemic immunomodulating drugs in dermatology. A better understanding of the design and implementation of pharmacoepidemiology studies will help practitioners assess the accuracy of etiologic findings and use them with confidence in clinical practice. Conducting pharmacoepidemiology studies follows a structured approach, which we discuss in this article: (i) a design layer connects the research question with the appropriate study design, and considering which hypothetical RCT one ideally would want to conduct reduces inadvertent investigator errors; (ii) a measurement layer transforms longitudinal patient-level data into variables that identify the study population, patient characteristics, treatment, and outcomes; and (iii) the analysis focuses on the causal treatment effect estimation. The review and interpretation of pharmacoepidemiology studies should consider issues beyond a typical review of RCTs, chiefly the lack of baseline randomization and the use of secondary data. Well-designed and well-conducted pharmacoepidemiologic studies complement dermatology practice with critical information on prescribing systemic medications.

Abstract
The development of medico-administrative databases over the last few decades has led to an evolution and to a significant production of epidemiological studies on infectious diseases based on retrospective medical data and consumption of care. This new form of epidemiological research faces numerous methodological challenges, among which the assessment of the validity of targeting algorithm. We conducted a scoping review of studies that undertook an estimation of the completeness and validity of French medico-administrative databases for infectious disease epidemiological research. Nineteen validation studies and nine capture-recapture studies were identified. These studies covered 20 infectious diseases and were mostly based on the evaluation of hospital claimed data. The evaluation of their methodological qualities highlighted the difficulties associated with these types of research, particularly those linked to the assessment of their underlying hypotheses. We recall several recommendations relating to the problems addressed, which should contribute to the quality of future evaluation studies based on medico-administrative data and consequently to the quality of the epidemiological indicators produced from these information systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuation of biologics for inflammatory disorders during pregnancy is still a difficult decision. Many women with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) stop anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) treatment after 24 weeks. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the benefits and risks of anti-TNF continuation after 24 weeks of pregnancy for mothers with IBD and their offspring. DESIGN Target trial emulation between 2010 and 2020. SETTING Nationwide population-based study using the Système National des Données de Santé. PATIENTS All pregnancies with birth exposed to anti-TNF between conception and 24 weeks of pregnancy in women with IBD. INTERVENTION Continuation of anti-TNF after 24 weeks of pregnancy. MEASUREMENTS Occurrence of maternal IBD relapse up to 6 months after pregnancy, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and serious infections in the offspring during the first 5 years of life was compared according to anti-TNF continuation after 24 weeks of pregnancy using inverse probability-weighted marginal models. RESULTS A total of 5293 pregnancies were included; among them, anti-TNF treatment was discontinued before 24 weeks for 2890 and continued beyond 24 weeks for 2403. Continuation of anti-TNF was associated with decreased frequencies of maternal IBD relapse (35.8% vs. 39.0%; adjusted risk ratio [aRR], 0.93 [95% CI, 0.86 to 0.99]) and prematurity (7.6% vs. 8.9%; aRR, 0.82 [CI, 0.68 to 0.99]). No difference according to anti-TNF continuation was found regarding stillbirths (0.4% vs. 0.2%; aRR, 2.16 [CI, 0.64 to 7.81]), small weight for gestational age births (13.1% vs. 12.9%; aRR, 1.01 [CI, 0.88 to 1.17]), and serious infections in the offspring (54.2 vs. 50.2 per 1000 person-years; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.08 [CI, 0.94 to 1.25]). LIMITATION Algorithms rather than clinical data were used to identify patients with IBD, pregnancies, and serious infections. CONCLUSION Continuation of anti-TNF after 24 weeks of pregnancy appears beneficial regarding IBD activity and prematurity, while not affecting neonatal outcomes and serious infections in the offspring. PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE None.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS We aimed to compare the risk of serious infections in children with in utero exposure to thiopurines and/or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) born to mothers with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS Using the French national health database, which covers 99% of the French population (around 66,000,000 people), we identified live births among women with IBD in France between 2010 and 2018. The risks of serious infections in children during the first 5 years of life were compared according to treatment exposures during pregnancy using propensity score-weighted marginal Cox models. RESULTS A total of 26,561 children were included: 3392 were exposed to thiopurine monotherapy, 3399 to anti-TNF monotherapy, 816 to combination therapy, and 18,954 were not exposed to any of these drugs. The risks of serious infections during the first year of life among children exposed to thiopurine monotherapy (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-1.07) and anti-TNF monotherapy (aHR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.95-1.27) were similar to those of unexposed children; a higher risk was observed in children exposed to combination therapy (aHR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.04-1.79). The highest increased risks were observed for nervous system infections and viral infections. The risk of serious infections during the second to fifth years of life was not associated with IBD treatments. CONCLUSIONS In children born to mothers with IBD, in utero exposure to thiopurine and anti-TNF monotherapies do not increase the risk of serious infections during the first 5 years of life. Combination therapy is associated with an increased risk of serious infections during the first year of life.

The Association Between Antibiotic Use and Outcome Among Metastatic Melanoma Patients Receiving Immunotherapy. J Natl Cancer Inst 2022; 114:686-694.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several observational studies have reported a decreased response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) following antibiotic use. ICI activity has been hypothesized to be impaired by antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis. METHODS Patients with advanced melanoma receiving an anti-PD-1 antibody as a first-line therapy between 2015 and 2017 in France were selected using the French Health Insurance database. We compared overall survival and time-to-treatment discontinuation according to antibiotic exposure in the 3 months prior to the initiation of anti-PD-1 antibody. To disentangle a causal effect of antibiotics from a confounding bias, we balanced characteristics of patients exposed and nonexposed to antibiotics using an overlap weighting method based on a propensity score. We also evaluated a control cohort of patients with advanced melanoma receiving first-line targeted therapy, as there is no rationale for decreased efficacy of targeted therapy following antibiotic treatment. RESULTS The anti-PD-1 antibody cohort comprised 2605 individuals. Antibiotic exposure in the 3 months prior to anti-PD-1 antibody initiation was not associated with shorter overall survival (weighted hazard ratio = 1.01, 95% confidence interval = 0.88 to 1.17) or time-to-treatment discontinuation (weighted hazard ratio = 1.00, 95% confidence interval = 0.89 to 1.11). Consistent results were observed when the time frame of antibiotics was narrowed to 1 month prior to anti-PD-1 initiation or when exposure was restricted to antibiotics leading to more profound gut dysbiosis. Similar results were observed in the targeted therapy cohort. CONCLUSIONS In a large cohort of advanced melanoma patients, we showed that antibiotic use preceding anti-PD-1 antibody was not associated with worse outcome. Physicians should not delay immunotherapy for patients who have recently received antibiotics.

Kirchgesner J, Desai RJ, Beaugerie L, Schneeweiss S, Kim SC. Risk of Serious Infections With Vedolizumab Versus Tumor Necrosis Factor Antagonists in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 20:314-324.e16. [PMID: 33387667 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2020.12.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The risk of serious infections associated with vedolizumab in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is uncertain. We assessed the risk of serious infections associated with use of vedolizumab versus anti-TNF in patients with IBD, according to IBD subtype and previous exposure to anti-TNF. METHODS Based on two U.S. nationwide commercial insurance databases and the French nationwide health insurance database, anti-TNF naïve and experienced patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) aged 18 years or older who initiated vedolizumab or an anti-TNF agent after 2010 were identified. Hazard ratios for serious infections comparing vedolizumab and anti-TNF were estimated in propensity score matched cohorts. RESULTS Among 8768 vedolizumab and 26,656 anti-TNF initiators included after 1:4 variable ratio propensity score matching, 893 serious infections occurred during 37,725 person-years of follow-up. The risk of serious infections was not different between vedolizumab and anti-TNF in the overall IBD cohort (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0·79-1.13), while the risk was decreased for vedolizumab users in patients with UC (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.50-0.93), but not CD (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.87-1.38). In patients with UC, vedolizumab was consistently associated with lower risk of serious infections after exclusion of gastrointestinal infections (HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.39-0.90). CONCLUSIONS While the risk of serious infections associated with vedolizumab was not different compared to anti-TNF in the overall group of patients with IBD, the risk varied according to IBD subtype, by decreasing in patients with UC, but not CD. These findings may help to clarify the optimal position of vedolizumab in the therapeutic management of IBD.

[PMID: 34785266 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinf.2021.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although influenza viruses cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, the impact of these infections on children in France and in other European countries has not been extensively characterized. The primary objective of the present study was to describe the burden of influenza disease on hospitalized children under 2 years of age in France, using data from the national hospital discharge summary database (Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information, PMSI). METHODS In a retrospective study of hospital admissions for influenza among children under the age of 2 in France, we extracted and analyzed hospital administrative data from the PMSI database (from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2020). RESULTS From 2011 to 2020, 28,507 children under the age of 2 were admitted to hospital with a primary or secondary diagnosis of influenza infection. The hospital admission rate was 205 per 100,000 for children under the age of 2, 276 per 100,000 for children under the age of 12 months, and 135 per 100,000 for children aged between 12 and 23 months. Children under 6 months of age were the most affected (45.4%). An underlying condition was identified for 9.4% of the children, and 2.2% of the children were admitted to the intensive care unit. The death rate was 0.12 per 100,000 for children under 2, 0.11 per 100,000 for children under 12 months, and 0.16 per 100,000 for children aged between 12 and 23 months. CONCLUSIONS In France, the burden of influenza disease is significant in children under the age of 2.

Abstract
Importance Biologics and targeted therapies, such as apremilast, are efficient treatments to manage moderate to severe psoriasis. More information about the risk of serious infection is needed for the newest treatment options in a real-world setting. Objective To assess the risk of serious infection among biologics and apremilast used to treat psoriasis, with etanercept as the comparator. Design, Setting, and Participants This nationwide cohort study from France involved data from the National Health Data System covering approximately 99% of the French population. All adults with psoriasis, defined as receiving at least 2 prescriptions of a topical vitamin D derivative within a 2-year period, registered in the database between January 1, 2008, and May 31, 2019, were eligible. The study population included those who were new users of biologic agents or apremilast (ie, without any prescriptions of a biologic or apremilast during the previous year). Patients with HIV infection or a history of cancer, transplant, or serious infection were excluded. End of follow-up was January 31, 2020. Main Outcome Measures The primary end point was a serious infection in a time-to-event analysis using propensity score-weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models, estimating weighted hazard ratios (wHRs) and 95% CIs. Results A total of 44 239 new users of biologic treatment were identified (mean [SD] age, 48.4 [13.8] years; 22 866 [51.7%] men; median follow-up, 12 months [interquartile range, 7-24 months]). A total of 29 618 (66.9%) were prescribed a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor first, 6658 (15.0%) an interleukin (IL) 12/23 inhibitor, 4093 (9.3%) an IL-17 inhibitor, 526 (1.2%) an IL-23 inhibitor, and 3344 (7.6%) apremilast. The total number of serious infections was 1656, and the overall crude incidence rate was 25.0 (95% CI, 23.8-26.2) per 1000 person-years. The most frequent serious infections were gastrointestinal infections (645 patients [38.9%]). After adjusting for time-dependent covariables, risk of serious infections was higher for new users of adalimumab (wHR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07-1.38) or infliximab (wHR, 1.79; 95% CI 1.49-2.16) vs etanercept, whereas ustekinumab was associated with a lower risk of having a serious infection (wHR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.67-0.94). Risk of serious infections was not increased for new users of IL-17 and the IL-23 inhibitor guselkumab or apremilast vs etanercept. Risk of serious infections was increased with concomitant nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or systemic corticosteroids. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of individuals with moderate to severe psoriasis, risk of serious infections was increased in new users of infliximab and adalimumab vs etanercept, whereas ustekinumab users had lower risk of having a serious infection but not new users of IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors or apremilast. Other observational studies are needed to confirm results for the most recent drugs.

Antibiotic prescriptions and risk factors for antimicrobial resistance in patients hospitalized with urinary tract infection: a matched case-control study using the French health insurance database (SNDS). BMC Infect Dis 2021; 21:571. [PMID: 34126937 PMCID: PMC8201676 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-021-06287-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance is increasing among urinary pathogens, resulting in worse clinical and economic outcomes. We analysed factors associated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in patients hospitalized for urinary tract infection, using the comprehensive French national claims database. METHODS Hospitalized urinary tract infections were identified from 2015 to 2017. Cases (due to ARB) were matched to controls (without ARB) according to year, age, sex, infection, and bacterium. Healthcare-associated (HCAI) and community-acquired (CAI) infections were analysed separately; logistic regressions were stratified by sex. RESULTS From 9460 cases identified, 6468 CAIs and 2855 HCAIs were matched with controls. Over a 12-months window, the risk increased when exposure occurred within the last 3 months. The following risk factors were identified: antibiotic exposure, with an OR reaching 3.6 [2.8-4.5] for men with CAI, mostly associated with broad-spectrum antibiotics; surgical procedure on urinary tract (OR 2.0 [1.5-2.6] for women with HCAI and 1.3 [1.1-1.6] for men with CAI); stay in intensive care unit > 7 days (OR 1.7 [1.2-2.6] for men with HCAI). Studied co-morbidities had no impact on ARB. CONCLUSIONS This study points out the critical window of 3 months for antibiotic exposure, confirms the impact of broad-spectrum antibiotic consumption on ARB, and supports the importance of prevention during urological procedures, and long intensive care unit stays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Administrative data are used in the field of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Syndromes (ADRS), however their performance to identify ADRS is unknown. OBJECTIVE i) To develop and validate a model to identify ADRS prevalent cases in French administrative data (SNDS), ii) to identify factors associated with false negatives. METHODS Retrospective cohort of subjects ≥ 65 years, living in South-Western France, who attended a memory clinic between April and December 2013. Gold standard for ADRS diagnosis was the memory clinic specialized diagnosis. Memory clinics' data were matched to administrative data (drug reimbursements, diagnoses during hospitalizations, registration with costly chronic conditions). Prediction models were developed for 1-year and 3-year periods of administrative data using multivariable logistic regression models. Overall model performance, discrimination, and calibration were estimated and corrected for optimism by resampling. Youden index was used to define ADRS positivity and to estimate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative probabilities. Factors associated with false negatives were identified using multivariable logistic regressions. RESULTS 3360 subjects were studied, 52% diagnosed with ADRS by memory clinics. Prediction model based on age, all-cause hospitalization, registration with ADRS as a chronic condition, number of anti-dementia drugs, mention of ADRS during hospitalizations had good discriminative performance (c-statistic: 0.814, sensitivity: 76.0%, specificity: 74.2% for 2013 data). 419 false negatives (24.0%) were younger, had more often ADRS types other than Alzheimer's disease, moderate forms of ADRS, recent diagnosis, and suffered from other comorbidities than true positives. CONCLUSION Administrative data presented acceptable performance for detecting ADRS. External validation studies should be encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dupilumab is an effective treatment for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) with limited safety data in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE To assess the 6-month risk of conjunctivitis and serious infections in patients with AD who initiated dupilumab. METHODS In a cohort study using US claims data, we compared the risk of conjunctivitis and serious infections in patients with AD who initiated either dupilumab, methotrexate (MTX), cyclosporine, or mycophenolate. Relative risks (RRs) were computed after 1:1 propensity score matching. RESULTS We identified 1775 dupilumab, 1034 MTX, 186 cyclosporine, and 257 mycophenolate users. The 6-month risk for any conjunctivitis was 6.5% for dupilumab, 3.3% for MTX, 4.8% for cyclosporine, and 1.2% for mycophenolate initiators. After PS matching, the RR of any conjunctivitis was increased in dupilumab users versus MTX (RR, 2.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.47-4.08), versus cyclosporine (RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.69-3.50), and versus mycophenolate (RR, 7.00; 95% CI, 2.12-23.2). The risk of serious infection was 0.6% in dupilumab and 1.0% in MTX initiators (RR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.37-2.20). LIMITATIONS Analyses were based on few events, and differential surveillance is a concern. CONCLUSIONS Although dupilumab shows a low risk of serious infections, it is associated with a clinically meaningful increase in conjunctivitis that needs to be managed in practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with IBD are at increased risk of acute arterial events. Antitumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents and thiopurines may, via their anti-inflammatory properties, lower the risk of acute arterial events. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of thiopurines and anti-TNFs on the risk of acute arterial events in patients with IBD. DESIGN Patients aged 18 years or older and affiliated to the French national health insurance with a diagnosis of IBD were followed up from 1 April 2010 until 31 December 2014. The risks of acute arterial events (including ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral artery disease) were compared between thiopurines and anti-TNFs exposed and unexposed patients with marginal structural Cox proportional hazard models adjusting for baseline and time-varying demographics, medications, traditional cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities and IBD disease activity. RESULTS Among 177 827 patients with IBD (96 111 (54%) women, mean age at cohort entry 46.2 years (SD 16.3), 90 205 (50.7%) with Crohn's disease (CD)), 4145 incident acute arterial events occurred (incidence rates: 5.4 per 1000 person-years). Compared with unexposed patients, exposure to anti-TNFs (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.95), but not to thiopurines (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.05), was associated with a decreased risk of acute arterial events. The magnitude in risk reduction was highest in men with CD exposed to anti-TNFs (HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.40 to 0.72). CONCLUSION Exposure to anti-TNFs is associated with a decreased risk of acute arterial events in patients with IBD, particularly in men with CD.

Abstract
Massive use of antibiotics has led to increased bacterial resistance to these drugs, making infections more difficult to treat. Few studies have assessed the overall antimicrobial resistance (AMR) burden, and there is a paucity of comprehensive data to inform health policies. This study aims to assess the overall annual incident number of hospitalised patients with AMR infection in France, using the National Hospital Discharge database. All incident hospitalisations with acute infections in 2016 were extracted. Infections which could be linked with an infecting microorganism were first analysed. Then, an extrapolation of bacterial species and resistance status was performed, according to age class, gender and infection site to estimate the total number of AMR cases. Resistant bacteria caused 139 105 (95% CI 127 920-150 289) infections, resulting in a 12.3% (95% CI 11.3-13.2) resistance rate. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were the most common resistant bacteria (>50%), causing respectively 49 692 (95% CI 47 223-52 142) and 19 493 (95% CI 15 237-23 747) infections. Although assumptions are needed to provide national estimates, information from PMSI is comprehensive, covering all acute bacterial infections and a wide variety of microorganisms.

Abstract
Introduction Postmarketing pharmacovigilance reports have raised concerns about non-bleeding adverse events associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), but only limited results are available from large claims databases. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the potential association between DOAC initiation and the onset of four types of non-bleeding adverse events by sequence symmetry analysis (SSA). Methods SSA was performed using nationwide data from the French National Healthcare databases (Régime Général, 50 million beneficiaries) to assess a cohort of 386,081 DOAC new users for the first occurrence of four types of non-bleeding outcomes: renal, hepatic, skin outcomes identified by using hospitalization discharge diagnoses, and gastrointestinal outcomes by using medication reimbursement. Asymmetry in the distribution of each investigated outcome occurring before and after initiation of DOAC therapy was used to test the association between DOAC therapy and these outcomes. SSA inherently controls for time-constant confounders, and adjusted sequence ratios were computed after correcting for temporal trends. Negative (glaucoma) and positive (bleeding, depressive disorders) control outcomes were used and analyses were replicated on a cohort of 310,195 patients initiating a vitamin K antagonist (VKA). Results This study demonstrated the expected positive association between either DOAC or VKA therapy and hospitalised bleeding and initiation of antidepressant therapy, while no association was observed between either DOAC or VKA therapy and initiation of antiglaucoma medications. For DOAC therapy, signals were the associations with hepatic outcomes, including acute liver injury [for the 3-month time window, aSR3 = 2.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.79–4.52]; gastrointestinal outcomes, including initiation of drugs for constipation and antiemetic drugs (aSR3 = 1.31, 95% CI 1.27–1.36; and 1.17, 95% CI 1.12–1.22, respectively); and kidney diseases (aSR3 = 1.33, 95% CI 1.29–1.37). Conclusion Results of this nationwide study suggest that DOACs are associated with rare but severe liver injury and more frequent gastrointestinal disorders. A low risk of kidney injury with DOAC therapy can also not be excluded.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The risk of infection associated with tumor necrosis factor antagonists (anti-TNF) and thiopurines (combination therapy) is uncertain. We assessed the risk of serious and opportunistic infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with thiopurine monotherapy, anti-TNF monotherapy, or combination therapy in a large cohort of patients in France. METHODS We performed a nationwide population-based study of patients (18 years or older) with a diagnosis of IBD in the French national health insurance database; we collected data from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2014. The risks of serious and opportunistic infections associated with exposure to combination therapy, anti-TNF, and thiopurine monotherapies were compared using marginal structural Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for baseline and time-varying sociodemographic characteristics, medications, and comorbidities. RESULTS Among the 190,694 patients with IBD included in our analysis, 8561 serious infections and 674 opportunistic infections occurred. Compared with anti-TNF monotherapy, combination therapy was associated with increased risks of serious infection (hazard ratio [HR], 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.45) and opportunistic infection (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.32-2.91). Compared with thiopurine monotherapy, anti-TNF monotherapy was associated with increased risks of serious infection (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.56-1.88), mycobacterial infection (HR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.15-3.40), and bacterial infection (HR, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.23-4.58, respectively). Conversely, anti-TNF monotherapy was associated with decreased risk of opportunistic viral infection compared with thiopurine monotherapy (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.38-0.87). CONCLUSIONS In a nationwide cohort study of patients with IBD in France, we found heterogeneity in risks of serious and opportunistic infections in patients treated with immune-suppressive regimens. These should be carefully considered and weighed against potential benefits for IBD treatment in patient management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Magnitude and independent drivers of the risk of acute arterial events in IBD are still unclear. We addressed this question in patients with IBD compared with the general population at a nationwide level. DESIGN Using the French National Hospital Discharge Database from 2008 to 2013, all patients aged 15 years or older and diagnosed with IBD were identified and followed up until 31 December 2013. The rates of incident acute arterial events were calculated and the impact of time with active disease (period around hospitalisation for IBD flare or IBD-related surgery) on the risk was assessed by Cox regression adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS Among 210 162 individuals with IBD (Crohn's disease (CD), n=97 708; UC, n=112 454), 5554 incident acute arterial events were identified. Both patients with CD and UC had a statistically significant overall increased risk of acute arterial events (standardised incidence ratio (SIR) 1.35; 95% CI 1.30 to 1.41 and SIR 1.10; 95 CI 1.06 to 1.13, respectively). The highest risk was observed in patients under the age of 55 years, both in CD and UC. The 3-month periods before and after IBD-related hospitalisation were associated with an increased risk of acute arterial events in both CD and UC (HR 1.74; 95 CI 1.44 to 2.09 and 1.87; 95% CI 1.58 to 2.22, respectively). CONCLUSION Patients with IBD are at increased risk of acute arterial events, with the highest risk in young patients. Disease activity may also have an independent impact on the risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hospitalisations for serious infections are common among middle age and older adults and frequently used as study outcomes. Yet, few studies have evaluated the performance of diagnosis codes to identify serious infections in this population. We sought to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of diagnosis codes for identifying hospitalisations due to serious infections among middle age and older adults. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We identified hospitalisations for possible infection among adults >=50 years enrolled in the Tennessee Medicaid healthcare programme (2008-2012) using International Classifications of Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnosis codes for pneumonia, meningitis/encephalitis, bacteraemia/sepsis, cellulitis/soft-tissue infections, endocarditis, pyelonephritis and septic arthritis/osteomyelitis. DESIGN Medical records were systematically obtained from hospitals randomly selected from a stratified sampling framework based on geographical region and hospital discharge volume. MEASURES Two trained clinical reviewers used a standardised extraction form to abstract information from medical records. Predefined algorithms served as reference to adjudicate confirmed infection-specific hospitalisations. We calculated the PPV of diagnosis codes using confirmed hospitalisations as reference. Sensitivity analyses determined the robustness of the PPV to definitions that required radiological or microbiological confirmation. We also determined inter-rater reliability between reviewers. RESULTS The PPV of diagnosis codes for hospitalisations for infection (n=716) was 90.2% (95% CI 87.8% to 92.2%). The PPV was highest for pneumonia (96.5% (95% CI 93.9% to 98.0%)) and cellulitis (91.1% (95% CI 84.7% to 94.9%)), and lowest for meningitis/encephalitis (50.0% (95% CI 23.7% to 76.3%)). The adjudication reliability was excellent (92.7% agreement; first agreement coefficient: 0.91). The overall PPV was lower when requiring microbiological confirmation (45%) and when requiring radiological confirmation for pneumonia (79%). CONCLUSIONS Discharge diagnosis codes have a high PPV for identifying hospitalisations for common, serious infections among middle age and older adults. PPV estimates for rare infections were imprecise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality of coding to identify cancers and comorbidities through the French hospital diagnosis database (Programme de médicalisation des systèmes d'information, PMSI) has been little investigated. Agreement between medical records and PMSI database was evaluated regarding metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and comorbidities. METHODS From 01/01/2013 to 06/30/2014, 74 patients aged≥65years at mCRC diagnosis were identified in Bordeaux teaching hospital. Data on mCRC and comorbidities were collected from medical records. All diagnosis codes (main, related and associated) registered into the PMSI were extracted. Agreement between sources was evaluated using the percent agreement for mCRC and the kappa (κ) statistic for comorbidities. RESULTS Agreement for primary CRC and mCRC was higher using all types of diagnosis codes instead of the main one exclusively (respectively 95% vs. 53% for primary CRC and 91% vs. 24% for mCRC). Agreement was substantial (κ 0.65) for cardiovascular diseases, notably atrial fibrillation (κ 0.77) and hypertension (κ 0.68). It was moderate for psychiatric disorders (κ 0.49) and respiratory diseases (κ 0.48), although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had a good agreement (κ 0.75). Within the class of endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (κ 0.55), agreement was substantial for diabetes (κ 0.91), obesity (κ 0.82) and hypothyroidism (κ 0.72) and moderate for hypercholesterolemia (κ 0.51) and malnutrition (κ 0.42). CONCLUSION These results are reassuring with regard to detection through PMSI of mCRC if all types of diagnosis codes are considered and useful to better choose comorbidities in elderly mCRC patients that could be well identified through hospital diagnosis codes.

Abstract
Essentials The risk factors for infection in immune thrombocytopenia are not well known. We conducted a national pharmacoepidemiological study. Pulmonary disease, corticosteroids and rituximab were the main risk factors for infections. Pneumococcal and influenza vaccines were protective against infections. SUMMARY Introduction Risk factors for infection and protective effect of vaccines in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients in the era of rituximab therapy are unknown. Objectives To assess the risk factors for serious and non-serious infections (respectively, SIs and NSIs) in non-splenectomized adults treated for persistent or chronic primary ITP, including the effect of pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. Patients/Methods The population was the 2009-2012 FAITH cohort (n = 1805), which is the cohort of all incident (newly diagnosed) primary ITP adults treated > 3 months in France built into the national health insurance database (SNIIRAM). SIs were hospitalizations with any infection as the primary diagnosis code. NSIs were identified using out-of-hospital antibiotic dispensing. Cox models were performed. Results Incidence rates were 6.3/100 patient-years (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.4-7.4) for SIs (lower respiratory tract in 42.8% of the cases) and 100.5/100 patient-years (95% CI, 95.0-106.3) for NSIs. In multivariate analyses, increasing age and chronic pulmonary disease were associated with both SI and NSI occurrence. The hazard ratios (HRs) for corticosteroids and rituximab were, respectively, 3.83 (95% CI, 2.76-5.31) and 2.60 (95% CI, 1.67-4.03) for SIs and 2.46 (95% CI, 2.19-2.76) and 1.49 (95% CI, 1.28-1.74) for NSIs. Pneumococcal vaccine showed a protective effect for both SIs and NSIs (0.38 [95% CI, 0.20-0.73] and 0.52 [95% CI, 0.43-0.65], respectively), as did influenza vaccine (0.42 [95% CI, 0.27-0.64] and 0.49 [95% CI, 0.41-0.59], respectively). Conclusions Chronic pulmonary disease, corticosteroids and rituximab are the main risk factors for infections, whereas pneumococcal and influenza vaccines are protective against SIs and NSIs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The risk of venous thromboembolic event (VTE) in multiple myeloma is particularly increased. Current guidelines recommend systematic VTE prophylaxis with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) or low weight molecular heparin (LWMH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH) in high-risk patients, based on treatment received [e.g. use of IMiDs (thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide), alkylating agents or erythropoietin] and individual risk factors (e.g. history of VTE). The aim of this study was to describe strategy of VTE prophylaxis and prescribing of other antithrombotic agents during the first 6 months of multiple myeloma therapy, with stratification on IMiD-based regimens and drug and disease-related risk factors. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of French beneficiaries from the health insurance database (SNIIRAM, Système National d'Information Inter-Régime de l'Assurance Maladie) was designed in the Midi-Pyrénées area (South West France). Patients starting a treatment for multiple myeloma in the period 2011-2014 were identified through hospital and chronic disease diagnoses. RESULTS Among the 236 incident multiple myeloma patients, 56% male (n = 133), 67% >65 years (n = 159) and 47% (n = 110) patients received an IMiD-based regimen. In these patients, 63% (n = 69) were identified as high-risk patients with indication for low molecular weight heparin or equivalent, and 37% (n = 41) were identified as low-risk with aspirin recommended. Among the high-risk IMiDs patients, 43% (30/69) currently received a VTE prophylaxis after starting their first regimen: 70% LWMH (21/30), 40% VKA (12/30), 10% UFH (3/30) and 13% (4/30) other drugs (rivaroxaban and fondaparinux); 33% of the patients (23/69) received an antiplatelet drug only, and 23% (16/69) did not receive any antithrombotic drug. CONCLUSIONS These results revealed lack of implementation of VTE prophylaxis in one out of high-risk multiple myeloma patients with IMiD. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has evolved in the last decade. AIM To assess IBD therapeutic management, including treatment withdrawal and early treatment use in the current era of anti-TNF agents (anti-TNFs). METHODS All patients affiliated to the French national health insurance diagnosed with IBD were included from 2009 to 2013 and followed up until 31 December 2014. Medication uses, treatment sequences after introduction of thiopurine or anti-TNF monotherapies or both (combination therapy), surgical procedures and hospitalisations were assessed. RESULTS A total of 210 001 patients were diagnosed with IBD [Crohn's disease (CD), 100 112; ulcerative colitis (UC), 109 889]. Five years after diagnosis, cumulative probabilities of anti-TNF monotherapy and combination therapy exposures were 33.8% and 18.3% in CD patients and 12.9% and 7.4% in UC patients, respectively. Among incident patients who received thiopurines or anti-TNFs, the first treatment was thiopurine in 69.1% of CD and 78.2% of UC patients. Among patients treated with anti-TNFs, 45.2% and 54.5% of CD patients and 38.2% and 39.9% of UC patients started monotherapy and combination therapy within 3 months after diagnosis, respectively; 31.3% of CD and 27.1% of UC incident patients withdrew from thiopurine or anti-TNFs for more than 3 months after their first course of treatment. Five years after diagnosis, the cumulative risks of first intestinal resection in CD patients and colectomy in UC patients were 11.9% and 5.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Step-up approach remains the predominant strategy, while exposure to anti-TNFs is high. Surgery rates are low. Treatment withdrawal in IBD is more common than expected.
