Filter by:The primary objective is to measure the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of audit and feedback with educational outreach as a strategy to align continuous pulse oximetry use in stable bronchiolitis patients with evidence and guideline recommendations.
Goal: The aim of this study is to determine the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical characteristics and treatment of severe bronchiolitis at the Children Hospital N01 in 2001-2002. Materials and method: in this cross-sectional study, specimens of 51 patients with severe bronchiolitis at the Children Hospital N01 from March, 1 st 2001 to February, 28th 2002 are described and analyzed.
Pediatrician does physical examination through telemedicine and in real life to see whether the telemedicine consultation corresponds with the real life examination. Goal is to determine: 1. Check practical feasability 2. Check whether there are no great objections for a larger study (ie. in case telemedicine consultation is much more unreliable to do a physical examination a larger study is deemed unsafe)
The VRS (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) study group in Lyon is a working that aims to understand, predict and prevent the burden of disease caused by human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in infants. Incidence of RSV-associated hospitalization in the first year of life was estimated at 14.5 (95% CI 13.4-15.6) per 1000 births in a cohort study in Lyon, France. Related direct medical annual costs were estimated for this cohort at 364,269€, mostly attributed to children born during the RSV season (231,959€) and children born premature (108,673€). This study will combine existing hospital specimens and databases to determine the respective role of socio demographic factors, clinical risk factors, level of cord specific antibody at birth, and virus characteristic in the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Hospitalization outcome in Infants. Regarding the introduction of a new RSV vaccine and RSV-specific neutralizing antibodies, these data are of prime importance to guide future vaccine policies.
The WheezeScan sensitivity and specificity are set to statistically prove equal to or higher values than the predicate PulmoTrack device model 2020.
Infant bronchiolitis is a frequent pathology that is the cause of a very large number of medical outpatient and physiotherapy treatments in France. Many international studies and recommendations have invalidated any drug treatment during its management during the first episode. In France, the consensus conference promoted by the National Agency for Accreditation and Health Evaluation (ANAES) in September 2000 was in the same vein. Regarding the respiratory physiotherapy component, posture drainage, vibration and percussion are not considered effective. ANAES recommended the use of respiratory physiotherapy with passive exhalation techniques. This is a method of care that has developed mainly in French-speaking countries, making it difficult to compare with the habits of Anglo-Saxon countries, which, more generally, do not prescribe it. In France, the level of evidence of its effectiveness is considered low (grade C). To date, the vast majority of studies have focused exclusively on a population of infants hospitalized for severe bronchiolitis. For this type of population, the value of such treatment to shorten the healing time has not been demonstrated. So much so that the ANAES, in its time, recommended that studies be carried out "on an outpatient basis" to assess their degree. In this respect, several recent studies have provided new data. Despite the reservations inherent in their methodologies and/or staff, they raise the question of the interest of the respiratory physiotherapy on an outpatient basis. In terms of professional practice, the American recommendations state that clinicians should educate family members about evidence-based diagnosis, treatment and prevention in bronchiolitis. Finally, an opinion survey concludes that holders of parental authority are seeking information on bronchiolitis and that approximately 90% have read the brochure given out of the maternity ward explaining the modes of transmission, manifestations, care and hygiene measures in the event of bronchiolitis. Pending new French recommendations, it seems legitimate to evaluate the level of perception of the effect of pediatric respiratory physiotherapy with increase in expiratory flow (IEF) in urban practice on the respiratory comfort of infants directly with families confronted with this pathology.
Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the tolerability and safety of two dose levels of aerosolized L-CsA vs placebo in addition to SoC therapy for BOS in adult allo-HSCT recipients. Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives of this study are to assess PK and exploratory efficacy and quality of life of two dose levels of aerosolized L-CsA vs placebo in addition to SoC therapy for BOS in adult allo-HSCT recipients.
Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is the well-known manifestation of the chronic pulmonary graft-versus-host disease(GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The pathophysiology of BO is, however, poorly known. The available data strongly support the role of respiratory viruses, in particular paramyxoviruses (parainfluenzae virus (PIV), respiratory syncytial virus, metapneumovirus). It is likely that the alloimmune response triggered by the respiratory virus is inadequate and leads to the peribronchiolar fibrotic process. The objective is to analyze the kinetics of profiles of the blood and respiratory host responses resulting from a high or low parainfluenza respiratory infection, in order to evaluate if the occurrence of a BO is associated with a specific signature We will evaluate the predictive signature of a BO after a parainfluenza virus infection by characterizing the differences between the patients evolving and those not evolving to a BO at 2 months after the infection.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective but toxic therapy and pulmonary morbidity affects as many as 25% of children receiving transplant. Early pulmonary injury includes diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) interstitial pneumonitis (IPS) and infection, while later, bronchiolitis obliterans is a complication of chronic GVHD associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Improved diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary complications are urgently needed as survival after HSCT improves, and as HSCT is increasingly used for non-malignant disorders such as sickle cell disease. Currently, there are large and important gaps in the investigator's knowledge regarding incidence, etiology and optimal treatment of pulmonary complications. Moreover, young children unable to perform spirometry are often diagnosed late, and strategies for monitoring therapeutic response are limited. This is a prospective multi-institutional cohort study in pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic (alloHSCT) or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT). Assembly of a large prospective uniformly screened cohort of children receiving HSCT, together with collection of biological samples, will be an effective strategy to identify mechanisms of lung injury, test novel diagnostic strategies for earlier diagnosis, and novel treatments to reduce morbidity and mortality from lung injury after transplant.
Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) is a major complication of Hematopoietic Stem cell Transplantation (HSCT) occurring in the context of chronic GVHD and associated with a poor prognosis. The diagnosis of BOS is based on functional (Pulmonary Functional Tests) and morphological criteria (chest CT-scan). Early diagnosis of BOS represents an unmet need and would facilitate early therapeutic interventions. Lung MRI has been recently developed with new sequences facilitating morphological and functional lung analysis in various inflammatory contexts. The goal of this study is to compare the morphological performances of chest CT-scan and MRI
