    International audienceBackground and aimEarly and reliable triage of patients is of major importance to promote rapid and appropriate treatments of patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Extrahospital troponin measurement is used in primary care setting to help the identification of patients with suspected MI. From a regional survey (RICO), we aimed to investigate the frequence and hospital prognosis of STEMI patients with prehospital troponin (PT) measurement.Methods and resultsProspective study on 799 consecutive patients with STEMI included in RICO from March 2013 – 31 may 2015. Among the 799 patients, 38(5%) were identified with PT, from source files and patient's interview. When compared with patients without PT (n=761), PT group had much longer prehospital delays, including median time from symptom onset (SO) to 1st intervention, SO to admission and time from 1st intervention to admission (p<0.001 for all). Time from SO to 1st call was also markedly increased (11H45 vs 1H45, p<0.001). Rate of primary PCI was significantly decreased in PT group (79 vs 90%, respectively, p<0.001). Age and risk factors were similar in both groups. PT patients had less frequently prior MI, higher heart rate on admission (88 vs 78 b/min, respectively, p=0.041), and had GRACE risk score with a trend toward an elevation (165 vs 152, respectively, p=0.157). In contrast, PT patients had more frequently preinfarction angina (53 vs 31%, p=0.038, respectively). Severity criteria including altered LVEF and Nt-proBNP level was increased (45 vs 50%, p= 0.030 and 2382 vs 402 pg/mL, p<0.001). The rate of hospital complication including heart failure and death was similar in the 2 groups (29 vs 26%, p=0.730 and 8 vs 8%, p=0.975, respectively).ConclusionOur study suggest that in STEMI patients, less acute clinical presentation could explain the longer prehospital delays to treatment, and consequently more severity criteria associated with PT.The author hereby declares no conflict of interes

    ''Assessment of the use of hypolipidemic agents (HAs), mainly statins, in elderly subjects aged 80 years and more in Burgundy: Analysis of 13,211 patients''

    Manckoundia, Patrick | Lorenzini, Mathieu | Disson-Dautriche, Anne | Petit, Jean-Michel | Lorcerie, Bernard | Debost, Emmanuel | Menu, Didier | Pfitzenmeyer, PierreInternational audience''Only few studies have investigated the use of HA in elderly subjects and there are no data in very elderly subjects. We assessed the prescription of HA and analyzed the relationship between such prescriptions and frailty markers among persons aged 80 and more in an observational study. We recorded the prescriptions for 13,211 patients aged 80-109 years and affiliated to the "Mutualite-Sociale-Agricole (MSA)'' of Burgundy over a 1-month period. The prescription of a HA among all included patients, and the existence of serious long-term disease(s) (LTD), polypharmacy or a prescription of cardiovascular drugs among patients receiving a HA were recorder. Among the 13,211 patients, 3412 aged 80-98 years were treated with an HA. The main HA were statins (70.4%), and fibrates were used in 27.3% of cases. Of these 3412 patients, 2250 had one or several LTD mainly coronaropathy, hypertension, diabetes mellitus or peripheral artery disease. The mean number of drugs per prescription was 6.37. Among subjects treated with HA, 40% also received antiplatelets, 35.6% beta-blockers and 30% inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system. For 99% of the patients, the prescription of HA was a renewal. Prescribers were mainly general practitioners (96.8%). Statins are the most widely prescribed HA even among very elderly subjects. However, after 80 years the prescription of HA, mainly statins, decreases with aging. This could be explained by polypathology, polypharmacy and the deterioration in metabolic functions which are markers of frailty. This study should encourage research into the use of statins in very elderly subjects. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.'

    Professionnels de santé et offre de soins pour les enfants : enjeux quantitatifs et qualitatifs

    L’expertise de soins au service des enfants est abordĂ©e sur deux aspects complĂ©mentaires. D’un cĂŽtĂ©, un bilan prĂ©cis de l’offre dĂ©mographique des professionnels de santĂ© spĂ©cialisĂ©s. Ce bilan reflĂšte les difficultĂ©s actuelles, et permet d’anticiper l’évolution Ă  venir si rien n’est fait pour enrayer les tendances actuellement observĂ©es. De l’autre, dans le cadre d’une coexistence des professions, il importe de prĂ©ciser les compĂ©tences, la formation, l’expertise de ces professionnels de santĂ© amenĂ©s Ă  prendre en charge les enfants et d’avoir une vision claire de leur formation. Enfin de nouvelles compĂ©tences et de nouveaux besoins Ă©mergents pourraient susciter de nouvelles attributions.Le HCSP s’est autosaisi de la question de l’offre de soins de santĂ© pour les enfants. Ce rapport dresse un bilan aussi prĂ©cis que possible de la dĂ©mographie des professionnels de santĂ© Ɠuvrant pour de la santĂ© de l’enfant, spĂ©cialistes d’une part et gĂ©nĂ©ralistes de l’autre, en traçant les Ă©volutions possibles, permettant de proposer de vĂ©ritables parcours de soins pour les enfants, distinguant des soins primaires et secondaires articulĂ©s avec les soins tertiaires de rĂ©fĂ©rence. La description des compĂ©tences et formations des professionnels permet d’analyser leurs compĂ©tences, la place qu’ils peuvent occuper dans cette organisation des soins. Sur ces bases, le HCSP propose 31 recommandations dĂ©clinĂ©es par profession ou secteur (pĂ©diatres et mĂ©decins gĂ©nĂ©ralistes ; chirurgie pĂ©diatrique; pĂ©dopsychiatrie ; mĂ©decine scolaire ; infirmiĂšres puĂ©ricultrices ou non, psychomotriciens)

    International audiencehttps://www.cairn.info/article.php?ID_ARTICLE=SPUB_204_0329As part of the National Health Strategy, the High Council for Public Health (HCSP) was tasked with leading a reflection on a “comprehensive and concerted child health policy”. Policy-making requires relevant knowledge and statistical benchmarks. It therefore seemed useful to examine the French statistical system and active research topics. This assessment is expected to provide a current portrait of the priorities and implicit health choices for the children. It also aims to reveal insufficiently explored aspects of children’s health. Methods: The inventory of this system was carried out on the basis of several methods, hearings, work of two documentalists, and analysis of the published and grey literature. Results: The emphasis is on pathologies, medical prevention and behaviors conceived primarily as individual. The idea that the health of tomorrow’s adults is built up behind this apparent good health and its inequalities does not appear, or only marginally. The elements on affective, cognitive or relational development are not sufficiently analyzed, for lack of data. The living conditions of children, especially poverty and violence in all its forms, are not sufficiently considered as health issues. Research is developing today with a hospital-centric vision, without a real strategy of research on children’s health. Discussion: Given the dispersion of data, publishing a summary report on children’s health on a regular basis is essential, as enriching the system with data on the environment, poverty and psychomotor, psychosocial and cognitive development. There is an urgent need to develop research on children’s health and to define a research strategy that does not exist todayhttps://www.cairn.info/article.php?ID_ARTICLE=SPUB_204_0329Le Haut Conseil de la santĂ© publique (HCSP) a Ă©tĂ© chargĂ© de conduire une rĂ©flexion sur une « politique de santĂ©globale et concertĂ©e de l’enfant ». Conduire des politiques suppose notamment de disposer de connaissances pertinentes et de repĂšres statistiques. Le dispositif statistique français et les thĂšmes de recherche actifs ont donc Ă©tĂ© examinĂ©s. De ce bilan est attendu un portrait actuel des prioritĂ©s et des choix implicites de santĂ© et des aspects insuffisamment explorĂ©s de la santĂ© et du dĂ©veloppement des enfants. MĂ©thode : L’état des lieux de ce dispositif a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© sur la base de plusieurs mĂ©thodes, auditions, travail de deux documentalistes, analyse de la littĂ©rature publiĂ©e et grise. RĂ©sultats : Le dispositif actuel privilĂ©gie les pathologies, une prĂ©vention mĂ©dicalisĂ©e et des comportements conçus avant tout comme individuels. L’idĂ©e que derriĂšre cette bonne santĂ© apparente se construit la santĂ© des adultes de demain avec son cortĂšge d’inĂ©galitĂ©s n’apparaĂźt que de façon marginale. Le dĂ©veloppement affectif, cognitif ou relationnel n’est pas suffisamment analysĂ©. Les conditions de vie, notamment la pauvretĂ© et la violence ne sont pas suffisamment considĂ©rĂ©es comme enjeux de santĂ©.
