Résumé : International audience
Objectives: To assess the adhesion of French obstetricians and gynecologists to the French clinical practice guidelines for pregnancy loss, issued by the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, one year after publication.Methods: An online vignette-based study was emailed to a sample of French obstetricians and gynecologists to compare their management of women with missed early miscarriage and incomplete early miscarriage. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed comparing the rates of appropriate management for these two indications before and after the release of the guidelines.Results: Of the 404 specialists contacted, 143 completed the questionnaire. Forty-three percent stated that they had changed their practices following the release of the guidelines. The rate of adhesion was moderate for the management of missed early miscarriage (53% after publication of the guidelines versus 42% before, P = 0.001) with a trend to avoid watching-and-waiting management. The rate of adhesion was poor for the management of incomplete early miscarriage (43% after the publication of the guidelines versus 27% before, P < 0.001) with a lower use of misoprostol.Conclusion: Adhesion to the French guidelines appears to be moderate for the management of missed early miscarriage and low for the management of incomplete early miscarriage.

Résumé : International audience
New guidelines have been produced by the CNSF and the CNGOF regarding the use of oxytocin after spontaneous onset of labor in France. This clinical practices were designed to redefine the normal and abnormal obstetrical labor; specify the indications, dosage, procedures, and effects of oxytocin administration; and describe the adverse maternal and perinatal effect associated with oxytocin administration.

Résumé : International audience
Leishmaniasis is endemic in southern Europe, and in other European countries cases are diagnosed in travellers who have visited affected areas both within the continent and beyond. Prompt and accurate diagnosis poses a challenge in clinical practice in Europe. Different methods exist for identification of the infecting Leishmania species. Sixteen clinical laboratories in 10 European countries, plus Israel and Turkey, conducted a study to assess their genotyping performance. DNA from 21 promastigote cultures of 13 species was analysed blindly by the routinely used typing method. Five different molecular targets were used, which were analysed with PCR-based methods. Different levels of identification were achieved, and either the Leishmania subgenus, species complex, or actual species were reported. The overall error rate of strains placed in the wrong complex or species was 8.5%. Various reasons for incorrect typing were identified. The study shows there is considerable room for improvement and standardisation of Leishmania typing. The use of well validated standard operating procedures is recommended, covering testing, interpretation, and reporting guidelines. Application of the internal transcribed spacer 1 of the rDNA array should be restricted to Old World samples, while the heat-shock protein 70 gene and the mini-exon can be applied globally.

Résumé : International audience
INTRODUCTION: There are no French guidelines for the management of complicated parapneumonic effusions. A national observational study was carried out to assess the main features of current clinical practice for this condition. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A questionnaire was sent by email to the 1500 members of the Société de Pneumologie de Langue Française (SPLF) between 15th November and 15th December 2012. RESULTS: There were 92 responders, i.e. a response rate of 6%. Of these, 87 physicians mentioned that they were involved in the management of patients with complicated parapneumonic effusions with a median number of cases of 10 per year (IQR: 5-20). Chest tube drainage was the main approach used for pleural fluid aspiration (n=51/87), followed by repeated thoracentesis (n=29/87) and early surgery (1/87). Five physicians answered both chest tube drainage or repeated thoracentesis and one physician either chest tube drainage or early surgery. Pleural fibrinolytics were never used by 20% of physicians, only in case of loculations by 70% and by 10% of respondents in all cases. Only 3 physicians combined fibrinolytics with DNAse. A double antibiotic dose was used by one third of physicians. All the physicians used respiratory physiotherapy during hospitalization and to aid recovery. Follow-up practices were heterogeneous. CONCLUSIONS: The management of complicated parapneumonic effusions varies significantly in France. National guidelines may be helpful to define best practice and aid in its implementation.
