Infectious complications of endoarterial interventional radiology: protocol for an observational study of a longitudinal national cohort of patients assessed in the French hospital discharge database (MOEVA study).

ABSTRACT: Around seven million patients undergo endoarterial interventional radiology procedures (EAIRP) annually worldwide. These procedures have become part of the standard repertoire of vascular surgery. However, the healthcare-associated infections related to these procedures are relatively unknown. Prevalence and adverse outcome of infectious complication (IC) post-EAIRP may be underestimated. We aim to provide national trend estimation of EAIRP incidence and outcome in France. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: From the French Common Classification of Medical Acts, we will define four categories of EAIRP. We will collect procedures via the French nationwide hospital discharge database, called Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information (PMSI) and derived from the Diagnosis Related Group system.
