Factors associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease: Data mining in the French nationwide discharge summary database between 2008 and 2014.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Identifying modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is critical for research. Data mining may be a useful tool for finding new AD associated factors. METHODS:We included all patients over 49 years of age, hospitalized in France in 2008 (without dementia) and in 2014. Dependent variable was AD or AD dementia diagnosis in 2014. We recoded the diagnoses of hospital stays (in ICD-10) into 137 explanatory variables.To avoid overweighting the "age" variable, we divided the population into 7 sub-populations of 5 years. RESULTS:We analyzed 1,390,307 patients in the PMSI in 2008 and 2014: 55,997 patients had coding for AD or AD dementia in 2014 (4.04%). We associated Alzheimer disease in 2014 with about 20 variables including male sex, stroke, diabetes mellitus, mental retardation, bipolar disorder, intoxication, Parkinson disease, depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol, undernutrition, fall and 3 less explored variables: intracranial hypertension (odd radio [95% confidence interval]: 1.16 [1.12-1.20] in 70-80 years group), psychotic disorder (OR: 1.09 [1.07-1.11] in 70-75 years group) and epilepsy (OR: 1.06 [1.05-1.07] after 70 years). DISCUSSION:We analyzed 137 variables in the PMSI identified some well-known risk factors for AD, and highlighted a possible association with intracranial hypertension, which merits further investigation. Better knowledge of associations could lead to better targeting (identifying) at-risk patients, and better prevention of AD, in order to reduce its impact.

Project description:Introduction:Infliximab (IFX) was the first anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) antibody to be used in the treatment of severe chronic inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. A number of serious adverse drug reactions are known to be associated with IFX use; they include infections, malignancies, and injection site reactions. Although a few case reports have described potential psychiatric adverse events (including suicide attempts and manic episodes), the latter are barely mentioned in IFX's summary of product characteristics. The objective of the present retrospective study was to detect potential psychiatric adverse events associated with IFX treatment by analyzing a national discharge abstract database. Materials and Methods:We performed an historical cohort study by analyzing data from the French national hospital discharge abstract database (PMSI) between 2008 and 2014. All patients admitted with one of the five diseases treated with IFX were included. Results:Of the 325,319 patients included in the study, 7,600 had been treated with IFX. The proportion of hospital admissions for one or more psychiatric events was higher among IFX-exposed patients (750 out of 7,600; 9.87%) than among non-exposed patients (17,456 out of 317,719; 5.49%). After taking account of potential confounders in the cohort as a whole, a semi-parametric Cox regression analysis gave an overall hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval] (CI) of 4.5 [3.95; 5.13] for a hospital admission with a psychiatric adverse event during treatment with IFX. The HR (95%CI) for a depressive disorder was 4.97 (7.35; 6.68). Even higher risks were observed for certain pairs of adverse events and underlying pathologies: psychotic disorders in patients treated for ulcerative colitis (HR = 5.43 [2.01; 14.6]), manic episodes in patients treated for severe psoriasis (HR = 12.6 [4.65; 34.2]), and suicide attempts in patients treated for rheumatoid arthritis (HR = 4.45 [1.11; 17.9]). Discussion:The present retrospective, observational study confirmed that IFX treatment is associated with an elevated risk of psychiatric adverse events. Depending on the disease treated, physicians should be aware of these potential adverse events.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To study patient physiology throughout a period of acute hospitalization, we sought to create accessible, standardized nationwide data at the level of the individual patient-facility-day. This methodology paper summarizes the development, organization, and characteristics of the Veterans Affairs Patient Database 2014-2017 (VAPD 2014-2017). The VAPD 2014-2017 contains acute hospitalizations from all parts of the nationwide VA healthcare system with daily physiology including clinical data (labs, vitals, medications, risk scores, etc.), intensive care unit (ICU) indicators, facility, patient, and hospitalization characteristics. METHODS:The VA data structure and database organization represents a complex multi-hospital system. We define a single-site hospitalization as one or more consecutive stays with an acute treating specialty at a single facility. The VAPD 2014-2017 is structured at the patient-facility-day level, where every patient-day in a hospital is a row with separate identification variables for facility, patient, and hospitalization. The VAPD 2014-2017 includes daily laboratory, vital signs, and inpatient medication. Such data were validated and verified through lab value range and comparison with patient charts. Sepsis, risk scores, and organ dysfunction definitions were standardized and calculated. RESULTS:We identified 565,242 single-site hospitalizations (SSHs) in 2014; 558,060 SSHs in 2015; 553,961 SSHs in 2016; and 550,236 SSHs in 2017 at 141 VA hospitals. The average length of stay was four days for all study years. In-hospital mortality decreased from 2014 to 2017 (1.7 to 1.4%), 30-day readmission rates increased from 15.3% in 2014 to 15.6% in 2017; 30-day mortality also decreased from 4.4% in 2014 to 4.1% in 2017. From 2014 to 2017, there were 107,512 (4.8%) of SSHs that met the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Electronic Health Record-based retrospective definition of sepsis. CONCLUSION:The VAPD 2014-2017 represents a large, standardized collection of granular data from a heterogeneous nationwide healthcare system. It is also a direct resource for studying the evolution of inpatient physiology during both acute and critical illness.
