L’eau au service des territoires ? Entre valorisation et instrumentalisation

Longtemps dominé par une volonté de maîtrise, incarnée par la construction d’ouvrages techniques, le rapport à l’eau de maints acteurs s’est progressivement inversé depuis les années 1970 sous l’influence du poids des considérations environnementales et de la reconnaissance de limites dans les interventions humaines. Cette évolution s’est manifestée dans divers domaines allant de la gestion des eaux pluviales à celle du risque d’inondation ou encore dans le domaine de l’aménagement et de la gestion des cours d’eau, qu’on s’efforce désormais de ménager voire de renaturer. L’eau s’impose alors comme une véritable « ressource territoriale », au point de devenir parfois une figure centrale de tout projet territorial qu’il s’agisse d’esthétique, de paysage, d’écologie ou de nourrir un imaginaire, une sensibilité et une poétique. Cette mise en avant de l’eau et des espaces de l’eau participe aussi d’une démarche de marketing territorial. Pour autant, derrière un apparent consensus, la valorisation de l’eau dans les projets territoriaux n’est pas dénuée d’ambiguïtés reflétant les conceptions différentes, potentiellement concurrentes et contradictoires, qui se déploient à propos des milieux aquatiques. Faut-il mettre à distance l’eau et tenter de la maîtriser via des aménagements structurels ? Faut-il s’en rapprocher et s’efforcer de vivre avec en tissant de nouvelles proximités spatiales et sociales, ainsi que de nouvelles formes de valorisation économique ou écologique ? Les réponses à ces questions ont varié au fil du temps. Mais aujourd’hui, les multiples liens tissés avec l’eau représentent une opportunité pour penser un aménagement au gré de l’eau et non contre elle ou sans elle. Les articles de ce numéro offrent un éventail d’analyses à différentes échelles de cette mise en service de l’eau dans les projets territoriaux, pour certains en s’appuyant sur des cas d’étude localisés dans l’espace sud-ouest européen, pour d’autres hors de cette aire géographique, permettant ainsi d’identifier de grandes tendances qui manifestement dépassent les singularités géographiques locales ou régionales. Deux articles complètent ce numéro thématique. Le premier présente les associations foncières pastorales qui, au-delà de leur origine montagnarde, pourraient être des outils précieux de gestion collective du foncier privé. Le second article reste dans les Pyrénées mais pour y discuter certains choix de mobilité opérés dans des territoires de faible densité

Severity of COVID-19 and survival in patients with rheumatic and inflammatory diseases: data from the French RMD COVID-19 cohort of 694 patients

International audienceObjectives: There is little known about the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (iRMD). We examined epidemiological characteristics associated with severe disease, then with death. We also compared mortality between patients hospitalised for COVID-19 with and without iRMD.Methods: Individuals with suspected iRMD-COVID-19 were included in this French cohort. Logistic regression models adjusted for age and sex were used to estimate adjusted ORs and 95% CIs of severe COVID-19. The most significant clinically relevant factors were analysed by multivariable penalised logistic regression models, using a forward selection method. The death rate of hospitalised patients with iRMD-COVID-19 (moderate-severe) was compared with a subset of patients with non-iRMD-COVID-19 from a French hospital matched for age, sex, and comorbidities.Results: Of 694 adults, 438 (63%) developed mild (not hospitalised), 169 (24%) moderate (hospitalised out of the intensive care unit (ICU) and 87 (13%) severe (patients in ICU/deceased) disease. In multivariable imputed analyses, the variables associated with severe infection were age (OR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.05-1.10), female gender (OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.25-0.80), body mass index (OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.02-1.12), hypertension (OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.01-3.42), and use of corticosteroids (OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.09-3.54), mycophenolate mofetil (OR=6.6, 95% CI: 1.47-29.62) and rituximab (OR=4.21, 95% CI: 1.61-10.98). Fifty-eight patients died (8% (total) and 23% (hospitalised)). Compared with 175 matched hospitalised patients with non-iRMD-COVID-19, the OR of mortality associated with hospitalised patients with iRMD-COVID-19 was 1.45 (95% CI: 0.87-2.42) (n=175 each group).Conclusions: In the French RMD COVID-19 cohort, as already identified in the general population, older age, male gender, obesity, and hypertension were found to be associated with severe COVID-19. Patients with iRMD on corticosteroids, but not methotrexate, or tumour necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 inhibitors, should be considered as more likely to develop severe COVID-19. Unlike common comorbidities such as obesity, and cardiovascular or lung diseases, the risk of death is not significantly increased in patients with iRMD

COVID-19 outcomes in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases treated with rituximab: a cohort study

International audienceBackground: Various observations have suggested that the course of COVID-19 might be less favourable in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases receiving rituximab compared with those not receiving rituximab. We aimed to investigate whether treatment with rituximab is associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.Methods: In this cohort study, we analysed data from the French RMD COVID-19 cohort, which included patients aged 18 years or older with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases and highly suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The primary endpoint was the severity of COVID-19 in patients treated with rituximab (rituximab group) compared with patients who did not receive rituximab (no rituximab group). Severe disease was defined as that requiring admission to an intensive care unit or leading to death. Secondary objectives were to analyse deaths and duration of hospital stay. The inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score method was used to adjust for potential confounding factors (age, sex, arterial hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, body-mass index, interstitial lung disease, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, corticosteroid use, chronic renal failure, and the underlying disease [rheumatoid arthritis vs others]). Odds ratios and hazard ratios and their 95% CIs were calculated as effect size, by dividing the two population mean differences by their SD. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04353609.Findings: Between April 15, 2020, and Nov 20, 2020, data were collected for 1090 patients (mean age 55·2 years [SD 16·4]); 734 (67%) were female and 356 (33%) were male. Of the 1090 patients, 137 (13%) developed severe COVID-19 and 89 (8%) died. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, severe disease was observed more frequently (effect size 3·26, 95% CI 1·66-6·40, p=0·0006) and the duration of hospital stay was markedly longer (0·62, 0·46-0·85, p=0·0024) in the 63 patients in the rituximab group than in the 1027 patients in the no rituximab group. 13 (21%) of 63 patients in the rituximab group died compared with 76 (7%) of 1027 patients in the no rituximab group, but the adjusted risk of death was not significantly increased in the rituximab group (effect size 1·32, 95% CI 0·55-3·19, p=0·53).Interpretation: Rituximab therapy is associated with more severe COVID-19. Rituximab will have to be prescribed with particular caution in patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases
