PREPAD study
(under submission)
Context : Preventive actions and their evaluation are still rare in the field of frailty prevention. This study aims to set up an action to prevent the loss of autonomy of non-institutionalised elderly people, through physical activity.
Purpose of the study : Set up and evaluate a collective action, in municipalities (2 in the pilot phase: Sevran and Aulnay-sous-Bois) using in particular specifically adapted weight machines by a French company.
Primary objective : To evaluate the impact of a physical exercise program, carried out with adapted muscle strengthening devices, on the loss of autonomy in acts of daily living, in people aged over 70 living at home.
Secondary objectives : Determine:
- Compliance with the program
- Effectiveness on muscle function
- The time until the increase in professional home help
- The time until hospitalization or institutionalization
- The impact on the quality of life of the elderly
- The medico-economic interest
Methodology : Interventional, randomized, prospective, comparative study, with 2 arms (interventional and control).
Number of subjects included : 288 (144 in each group)
Total duration of the study : 18 months
Location of the study : Paris, Sevran and Aulnay-sous-Bois

NutriActif study
(under submission)
context : One out of two hospitalized elderly people is malnourished. This state of malnutrition generally worsens during hospitalization. In these cases, muscle wasting linked to insufficient food intake and immobilization results in the appearance or aggravation of mobility disorders and dependence. Actions limited to the hospital are not enough to reduce the risk of rehospitalization, it is essential to continue these actions at home.
Purpose of the study : To set up and evaluate a care program at home, combining nutritional support (NS) and adapted physical activity (APA), for elderly people who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, leaving hospital to go home.
Main objective : To evaluate the effect of care combining nutritional support and appropriate physical activity on the autonomy of elderly people leaving hospital to return home.
Secondary objectives : To determine the effects of this support on :
- Nutritional status
- Functional status
- Life quality
- Caregiver burden (if applicable)
Medico-social and sociological dimension: cost/effectiveness evaluation, cost/utility, and conditions of acceptability, implementation and generalization of the system.
Methodology : Interventional, randomized, prospective, comparative study, with 4 arms (1 : control group, 2 : APA group, 3 : group SN and 4 : mixed APA+SN intervention).
Total number of subjects included : 400 elderly people (100 per group) + 150 family carers
Total duration of the study : 2 years

Night IDE study in EHPAD
(in progress)
Context of the project : Since 2013, the ARS Ile-de-France has launched the IDE de nuit experiment consisting of the creation of a "mobile" night nursing position in an EHPAD with the aim of improving the continuity of care and reducing emergency hospitalizations of residents. These nurses, employed by a "bridgehead" EHPAD, are called upon to intervene in three EHPADs identified in each department.
This experiment aims to:
- Improve the orientation of residents during night hours by helping to better detect risky situations, encourage the use of the SAMU Center 15 if necessary and identify avoidable emergency admissions, within the framework of pre-established procedures and in partnership with the SAMU Center 15.
- Improve the management of residents returning from hospitalization.
- Improve the continuity of care in EHPADs, by securing the teams.
- Improve the training of night staff in nursing homes.
Purpose of the study : The medico-economic study launched in 2016 aims to assess the real impact of the experimental device for shared overnight FDI in EHPADs on improving the health care pathway for the elderly.
Main objective: Evaluate the real impact of the experimental device for shared overnight FDI in EHPADs on improving the health care pathway for the elderly.
Secondary objective: to assess the medico-economic relevance of this device (cost / utility ratio) in order to assess its interest in comparison with other modes of support at night (telephone on-call, telemedicine, HAD, etc. ).
Methodology : Controlled, non-randomized observational study, with prospective and retrospective components.
Duration of the research : The total duration of the study is 22 months (September 2016- June 2018)
Scientific officer : Professor Olivier HANON, Broca Hospital, AP-HP
Promoters : ARS Ile-de-France, Gérond'if

Clinical tests
SAFIR project
Purpose of the study : Evaluating a new oral anticoagulant, Rivaroxaban, in people aged over 80 with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The study consists precisely in evaluating the metrological qualities of two haemorrhagic scores (HEMORR2HAGES and HAS-BLED) on the occurrence of major and non-major clinically relevant haemorrhages. , in very elderly subjects (over 80 years old) with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, treated with Rivaroxaban
Scientific domain : medical research, cardio-geriatrics
The study project has the following dimensions :
Description of the characteristics of the subjects included in the cohort

Creation of a new bleeding risk score adapted for this specific population and treatment with NOAC
Evaluation of the incidence and determinants of major events (major bleeding, hospitalization, myocardial infarction, stroke, thromboembolic event, death)
Measurement of adherence and persistence to treatment with Rivaroxaban, with Morisky and O2 scores
Measurement of geriatric characteristics (cognition, depression, falls, nutritional status, autonomy, comorbidities, renal function, social environment) at baseline and after one year of follow-up
Project leader (promoter) : CEMKA-EVAL
Principal Investigator : Pr Olivier HANON, Paris 5 University, Broca Hospital, AP-HP Paris
Investigators : geriatricians or cardiologists practicing in metropolitan France
