Inequalities in severe Covid-19 by socioeconomic deprivation and country of birth, Italy, 2021–2024
Global evidence on COVID-19 related inequalities remains temporally fragmented. In this study we investigated how the associations of socioeconomic deprivation (SED) and country of birth with severe COVID-19 evolved in COVID-19 vaccinated persons residing in small/medium sized municipalities in Italy in 2021–2024. We retrospectively analysed data of 22,131,245 adults, living in municipalities with <50,000 residents, extracted from the national CO…
Increasing situational awareness through nowcasting of the reproduction number
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…
The New Quadrivalent Adjuvanted Influenza Vaccine for the Italian Elderly
The results of this project provide decision-makers with important evidence on the aQIV and support with scientific evidence on the appropriate use of vaccines in the elderly
Characterizing the transmission patterns of seasonal influenza in Italy
The results presented in this study provide insights on type/subtype-specific transmission patterns of seasonal influenza that could be instrumental to fine-tune immunization strategies and non-pharmaceutical interventions aimed at limiting seasonal influenza spread and burden
Despite vaccination, China needs non-pharmaceutical interventions to prevent widespread outbreaks of Covid-19 in 2021
COVID-19 vaccination is being conducted in over 200 countries and regions to control SARS-CoV-2 transmission and return to a pre-pandemic lifestyle. However, understanding when non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) can be lifted as immunity builds up remains a key question for policy makers. To address this, we built a data-driven model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission for China. We estimated that, to prevent the escalation of local outbreaks to wide…
Changes in contact patterns shape the dynamics of the Covid-19 outbreak in China
Who and what next? The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought tighter restrictions on the daily lives of millions of people, but we do not yet understand what measures are the most effective. Zhang et al. modeled virus transmission in Wuhan, China, in February 2020, investigating the effects of interventions ranging from patient management to social isolation. Age-mixing patterns were estimated by contact surveys conducted in Wuhan and …
Baseline Characteristics and Outcomes of 1591 Patients Infected With Sars-CoV-2 Admitted to ICUs of the Lombardy Region, Italy
Importance: In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]) emerged in China and has spread globally, creating a pandemic. Information about the clinical characteristics of infected patients who require intensive care is limited. Objective: To characterize patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU) in the Lombardy region of Italy. Desig…
The effect of travel restrictions on the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak
Outbreak to pandemic In response to global dispersion of severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), quarantine measures have been implemented around the world. To understand how travel and quarantine influence the dynamics of the spread of this novel human virus, Chinazzi et al. applied a global metapopulation disease transmission model to epidemiological data from China. They concluded that the travel quarantine introduced in …
