Psychosocial determinants of healthcare use costs in kidney transplant recipients
Introduction: Psychosocial factors frequently occur in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), leading to behavioral alterations and reduced therapeutic adherence. However, the burden of psychosocial disorders on costs for KTRs is unknown. The aim of the study is to identify predictors of healthcare costs due to hospital admissions and emergency department access in KTRs. Methods: This is a longitudinal observational study conducted on KTRs aged >18…
Changes of consultation-liaison psychiatry practice in Italian general hospitals
CLP workload has increased considerably in the past 20 years in Italy, with changes in patient demographic and clinical characteristics. A trend toward increase in medication-based patient management was observed. These findings suggest that the psychiatric needs of patients admitted to the general hospital are more frequently addressed by referring physicians, although Italian CLP services still deserve better organization and autonomy

Prevalence of depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorder in oncological, haematological, and palliative-care settings
Risk of HIV infection in psychiatrically ill patients
The growing spread of HIV infection and AIDS incidence has led the medical milieu to increase efforts in the study of the at-risk population and in the development of prevention programmes. Nevertheless, little attention has been focused on psychiatric patients as a vulnerable and disadvantaged segment of the population with high risk of HIV infection. In fact, several studies in the last years have shown that high-risk behaviour, especially intr…
Analysis of psychiatric consultations in patients with HIV infection and related syndromes
Patients referred to the consultation-liaison psychiatry department of the University of Ferrara over a 12 month period were studied. About 13% of referrals concerned HIV patients. Comparison of HIV infected with non-HIV infected referrals revealed differences in the reasons for psychiatric consultation and the diagnosis made after assessment, as well as in the number of follow-up consultations. The implications of the findings are discussed
Pattern of Emotional Control and Psychological Reactions to Breast Cancer
To investigate the relationship between suppression of negative feelings and psychological reaction to cancer, a series of breast cancer patients were studied preoperatively ( n = 35), a week after mastectomy ( n = 32) and six months later ( n = 12). A general pattern of emotional control, as measured by the Courtauld Emotional Control Scale, showed less correlation with anxiety (Symptom Questionnaire Anxiety scale) before breast lump biopsy and …
