Background
Patient-perceived physician empathy (PPPE) is associated with numerous positive outcomes for patients, quality of care and health expenditure. Research into the factors that explain PPPE is therefore crucial, but the focus has often been placed on physician-related predictors of PPPE. In general practice, however, many barriers to empath...
In-person sessions of participative design are commonly used in the field of learning analytics, but to reach students not always available on-site (e.g., during a pandemic), they have to be adapted to online-only context. Card-based tools are a common co-design method to collect users’ needs, but this tangible format limits data collection and usa...
Learning Analytics Dashboards (LADs) are becoming a key element in enabling learners to monitor their learning, plan and actually learn. However, LADs are sometimes not completely adapted to students, who are rarely involved in their design. Moreover, even when they are, the implemented LADs are often the same for all students, whereas previous wor...

Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) may occur in patients with reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and has been associated with excess valvular tenting only in patients with reduced LVEF. This study aimed at identifying the predictors of FMR and to determine whether or not they are different in patients with reduced ver...
A generalization of the nonparametric linear rank statistics is presented to handle the two-group comparison with multiple events. For a sample divided into two groups, in which each subject may experience at least two distinct failures, the logrank tests are extended to test the null hypothesis that the vector of the marginal survival distribution...
The separation of Pneumocystis carinii life-cycle stages while preserving infectivity is a hitherto unresolved challenge. We describe an original, reproducible, and efficient method for separating trophic from cystic forms of P. carinii using a high-speed cell sorter. The large amounts of highly purified (99.6+/-0.3%) infectious trophic and cystic...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) acutely enhances forward stroke volume (FSV) during exercise by reducing the severity of functional mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with systolic chronic heart failure. Whether CRT increases FSV in patients without functional MR at rest is unknown. Accordingly, the aim of the study was to compare the ef...
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) may develop pulmonary hypertension at rest and during exercise. The cardiac correlates of pulmonary hypertension have been ascertained in the resting state, but seldom during exercise in these patients.

Primary endpoints based on levels of HIV-1 RNA are currently used to evaluate efficacy of antiretroviral therapy in AIDS/HIV clinical trials. These endpoints, however, are generally based on few HIV-1 RNA measurements. More specifically, when the endpoint is the time to virologic failure (usually defined as two consecutive HIV-1 RNA levels above a...
We focus on the two group comparison when subjects of the sample may experience multiple distinct events, possibly censored.
Because of the correlation arising between failure times, the sum of the marginal test statistics is not accurate. We propose
a multivariate version of weighted logrank tests derived from the marginal logrank statistics, and...
We developped a multivariate version of weighted logrank tests to compare two multivariate time-to-event distributions; our method is based on the marginal approach, and uses martingale properties. Our results can be extended to the study of several risk factors in a multivariate proportional hazard model. To cite this article: C. Pinçon, C. R. Aca...
