Health status of populations living in French overseas territories in 2012, compared with metropolitan France: An analysis of the national health insurance database.
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the utility of administrative database to compare and follow population health status considering healthcare use. Specific Public Health policies are justified for FOT, taking into account the specific context of each FOT, the necessity of prevention initiatives and screening to reduce the frequency of the chronic diseases.

The Prognostic Value of Follow-up Hemodynamic Variables After Initial Management in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Conclusions -SVI and RAP were the hemodynamic variables independently associated with death or lung transplantation at first follow-up RHC after initial PAH treatment. These findings suggest that the SVI could be a more appropriate treatment target than the cardiac index in PAH. PMID: 29070502 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical and hemodynamic correlates of pulmonary arterial stiffness in incident, untreated patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
CONCLUSIONS: In incident idiopathic PAH, PA stiffness was related to mPAP and heart rate, and this outperformed the potential influences of age and gender. Baseline PA stiffness did not independently predict outcome. The great dispersion of RC-time implied that PVR and PA stiffness were differently affected by the disease process.

Reappraising the effects of pulmonary artery wedge pressure on right ventricular pulsatile loading
Conclusion: Unexpectedly, PAWP decreased RV pulsatile loading (as reflected in PA stiffness) when potential confounding factors, including the prevailing mPAP, were taken into account. Our results deserve further independent confirmation.
