The impact of nirsevimab prophylaxis on RSV hospitalizations
Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the leading cause of hospitalizations in infants. The approval of nirsevimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody, has extended the potential for RSV prophylaxis to all infants. This study assesses the cost-benefit of various Nirsevimab prophylaxis strategies for infants during their first RSV season in preventing RSV-associated hospitalization in the Tuscany region, Italy. Methods: = 21,017) experie…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on access to mental health services and socioeconomic inequalities in Italy
The COVID-19 pandemic increased socioeconomic inequalities in mental health in Italy. Population-based cohorts are the most powerful instrument to monitor inequalities in access to mental health services and to provide timely information to drive policy
Case-Control Study on the Routes of Transmission of Sars-CoV-2 after the Third Pandemic Wave in Tuscany, Central Italy
The emergence of hyper-transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants that rapidly became prevalent throughout the world in 2022 made it clear that extensive vaccination campaigns cannot represent the sole measure to stop COVID-19. However, the effectiveness of control and mitigation strategies, such as the closure of non-essential businesses and services, is debated. To assess the individual behaviours mostly associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, a questionn…
Foreigners living in Tuscany at the time of coronavirus outbreak
The time between the onset of symptoms and the execution of the laboratory tests was similar between foreigners and Italians. The foreigners infected by SARS-COV-2 were younger compared to the Italians. Foreigners showed few comorbidities, and asymptomatic or mild symptomatic COVID-19, and consequently, a low lethality index. National and Tuscany policy decisions are needed to create equity in the access to the health care system for immigrants a…
Community Concern about the Health Effects of Pollutants
Geothermal fluids for electricity and heat production have long been exploited in the Mt. Amiata area (Tuscany, Italy). Public concern about the health impact of geothermal plants has been present from the outset. Several factors influence the way people perceive risk; therefore, the objective of the present research is to develop indicators of risk perception and assess indices differences in relation to some questionnaire variables. A cross-sec…
Trends in Adolescent Health Risk Behaviors and Wellbeing
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the trends of prevalence of health risk behaviors (HRBs) and health conditions over a 10 year period (2008–2018) in a representative sample of adolescents of Tuscany Region, Italy. Methods: This was a repeated cross-sectional (four survey waves) study. The prevalence of 17 HRBs and health conditions were analyzed by age, sex, and socioeconomic status (SES). Results: A total of 21,943 students were…
Thallium Contamination of Drinking Water
In 2014-2015, concentrations of thallium above the recommended reference value (EPA: 2 μg/L) were measured in some parts of the drinking water distribution system in the municipality of Pietrasanta (Tuscany, Italy). An extensive campaign of water samples and human biomonitoring surveys were implemented to quantify the exposure of population. A residential cohort epidemiological study was carried out on the population of the municipality of Pietra…
Profiles of Risky Driving Behaviors in Adolescent Drivers
(1) Background: Research on patterns of risky driving behaviors (RDBs) in adolescents is scarce. This study aims to identify distinctive patterns of RDBs and to explore their characteristics in a representative sample of adolescents. (2) Methods: this is a cross-sectional study of a representative sample of Tuscany Region students aged 14-19 years ( n = 2162). The prevalence of 11 RDBs was assessed and a cluster analysis was conducted to identify…
Health conditions of inmates in Italy
The findings showed that a large number of detainees were affected by several chronic conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus, with an unusually high prevalence for such a young population. Therefore, a series of preventive measures is recommended to strengthen the entire care process and improve the health and living conditions of prisoners
Road Accidents, Alcohol, and Drugs
This article describes the potential contribution of alcohol and illicit drugs to increased risk of road accidents in Italy. Blood and urine samples were taken from patients admitted to five Emergency Rooms (ER) in metropolitan Florence, Italy, due to road traffic accidents within 3 hours of the accident. Seven hundred and thirty-five patients were tested to determine if alcohol and illicit drugs (amphetamines, opiates, cocaine, methadone, and ca…
Trends in Alcoholic Beverage Consumption in Italy
This article first considers all Italian national and local information sources dealing with alcohol consumption. Then the changes in amount and patterns of alcohol drinking which occurred in Italy during the last 30 years are examined. During the period of the 1970s to the 2000s wine intake dramatically decreased, while beer consumption, especially among youngsters, has increased. Also a decrease of risky drinkers and an increase in moderate dri…
