Recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) treatment is widely used in France to normalize height during childhood and final height in children born small for gestational age (SGA). Because rhGH has been associated with increased insulin levels and insulin resistance, concern has been exp…

The goal of this population-based cohort study is to assess the safety of initiating a new outpatient prescription of 10mg/day of Escitalopram (higher dose) compared to 5 mg/day (lower dose) in adults over the age of 65 with low kidney function. Primary question Whether initiat…

Justification: Intrauterine exposure to type 1 or type 2 diabetes increase the risk of macrosomia (35 % to 50 % versus 10 % in general population) despite a good glycemic control. The consequences are : shoulder's dystocia, lung immaturity, caesarean section, neonatal hypoglycae…

This is a population-based cohort study assessing whether initiating a higher dose of tamsulosin (0.8 mg/day) compared to a lower dose (0.4 mg/day) in older adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) (an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<45 mL/min per 1.73 m² b…

The investigators will perform a long term registry based prospective analysis on incidence of major cardiovascular events or death in hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea . Effects of PAP (positive airway pressure) compliance, antihypertensive medication and blood…

This is a population-based cohort study assessing whether initiation of a higher dose of pramipexole (0.25 or 0.375 mg/day), compared with a lower dose (0.125 mg/day), in older adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) (an estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \<4…

The goal of this population-based cohort study is to assess the safety of initiating a new outpatient prescription of 50 mg/day of Sertraline, a higher dose, compared to 25 mg/day, a lower dose, in adults aged 65+ with low kidney function. The primary question is whether initiati…
