  • Assessing educational disparities in Covid-19 related excess mortality in Spain

    Open AccessJose Pulido, Miguel Ángel Díaz López et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Data on the increase in mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic based on individuals' socioeconomic positions are limited. This study examines this increase in mortality in Spain during the epidemic waves of 2020 and 2021. Methods: We calculated the overall and cause-specific mortality rates during the 2017-2019 pre-pandemic period and four epidemic periods in 2020 and 2021 (first, second, third-fourth, and fifth-sixth waves). Mortal…

  • Increasing situational awareness through nowcasting of the reproduction number

    Open AccessAndrea Bizzotto, Giorgio Guzzetta et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background: The time-varying reproduction number R is a critical variable for situational awareness during infectious disease outbreaks; however, delays between infection and reporting of cases hinder its accurate estimation in real-time. A number of nowcasting methods, leveraging available information on data consolidation delays, have been proposed to mitigate this problem. Methods: In this work, we retrospectively validate the use of a nowcast…

  • Risk of breakthrough infection and hospitalisation after Covid-19 primary vaccination by HIV status in four Italian regions during 2021

    Open AccessAlberto Mateo‐Urdiales, Alberto Mateo-Urdiales et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Our findings suggest PLWH were not at increased risk of breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 hospitalisation following a primary cycle of mRNA vaccination

  • Socioeconomic Inequalities in Sars-CoV-2 Infection and Covid-19 Health Outcomes in Urban Italy During the Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout, January–November 2021

    Open AccessEmmanouil Alexandros Fotakis, Alberto Mateo‐Urdiales et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2024

    This study analysed the evolution of the association of socioeconomic deprivation (SED) with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 outcomes in urban Italy during the vaccine rollout in 2021. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis between January and November 2021, comprising of 16,044,530 individuals aged ≥ 20 years, by linking national COVID-19 surveillance system data to the Italian SED index calculated at census block level. We estimated inc…

  • Geographic heterogeneity of the epidemiological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy using a socioeconomic proxy-based classification of the national territory

    Open AccessAlessio Petrelli, Martina Ventura et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the differences in incidence, non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) and intensive care unit (ICU) hospital admissions, and COVID-19-related mortality between the "inner areas" of Italy and its metropolitan areas. Study design: Retrospective population-based study conducted from the beginning of the pandemic in Italy (20 February 2020) to 31 March 2022. Methods: The municipalities of Italy were classified into …

  • Excess Mortality in Italy During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessMaria Dorrucci, Giada Minelli et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    COVID-19 dramatically influenced mortality worldwide, in Italy as well, the first European country to experience the Sars-Cov2 epidemic. Many countries reported a two-wave pattern of COVID-19 deaths; however, studies comparing the two waves are limited. The objective of the study was to compare all-cause excess mortality between the two waves that occurred during the year 2020 using nationwide data. All-cause excess mortalities were estimated usi…

  • Socioeconomic patterns and Covid-19 outcomes before, during and after the lockdown in Italy (2020)

    Open AccessAlberto Mateo‐Urdiales, Alberto Mateo-Urdiales et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2021Cited by: 1

    The objective was to investigate the association between deprivation and COVID-19 outcomes in Italy during pre-lockdown, lockdown and post-lockdown periods using a retrospective cohort study with 38,534,169 citizens and 222,875 COVID-19 cases. Multilevel negative binomial regression models, adjusting for age, sex, population-density and region of residence were conducted to evaluate the association between area-level deprivation and COVID-19 inci…

    Enrique Regidor, Romana Albaladejo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2019References: 42

    BACKGROUND: To evaluate trends in diabetes-related health behaviours and mortality from diabetes and other chronic diseases in the Spanish population before, during and after the 2008 economic crisis. METHODS: Annual population measurements were obtained from national surveys and administrative registries for 2004-2016. Using segmented regression analysis, we calculated the annual percentage change (APC) in 2004-2007, 2008-2010, 2011-2013 and 201…

  • Mortality in Spain in the Context of the Economic Crisis and Austerity Policies

    Enrique Regidor, Alberto Mateo et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2019Cited by: 1References: 30

    Objectives. To analyze the mortality trend in Spain before, during, and after the economic crisis and austerity policies. Methods. We calculated age-standardized annual mortality rates in 2001 through 2016 and estimated linear trends in mortality rates during 4 periods (2001–2007, 2008–2010, 2011–2013, and 2014–2016) using the annual percentage change (APC). Results. All-cause mortality rate decreased during the period 2001 to 2016, although we f…
