OBJECTIVE: @entity173 is the most devastating @entity3604 , increasing the risk of mortality. Recent data suggest a decrease in incidence of this @entity174 . Few data are available on potential changes in mortality. We studied the change of inpatient mortality from 2002 to 2008 in France. METHODS: Data were extracted from the French Hospital National Database. The absolute number of inpatient mortality for @entity173 was described as well as the case fatal rate and mortality rate adjusted on age and gender. Risk factors of inpatient mortality were assessed by multiple regressions. RESULTS: Inpatient mortality stay decreased from 3057 to 2350 in @entity1 aged 40 years and over and in both gender. Inpatient mortality stays were more important in @entity1 and increased with age, but the case fatal rate was higher in @entity1 than in @entity1 (5.4 vs. 2.8% in 2008). During the study period, the mortality rate ( @entity307 ,000,000) varied from 132 to 88 and from 82 to 64 in @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively. In the older @entity1 , case fatality and mortality rates decreased significantly during the study period. From 2008 data, age more or equal to 85 years, male gender, stay in intensive care and existence of some chronic or @entity697 , especially @entity65 , @entity99 , @entity177 , and @entity281 were significant determinants of inpatient mortality. CONCLUSION: Inpatient mortality after @entity173 decreased in France between 2002 and 2008, although age, male gender and comorbidities were identified as determinants of inpatient mortality.
