Educational disparities in dementia incidence and healthcare utilization: Evidence from a cohort study in Italy
Sars-CoV-2 spread and area economic disadvantage in the italian three-tier restrictions: A multilevel approach
Lower tiers were more effective in more economically disadvantaged provinces, while the highest restriction level had milder effects. These results underline the importance of accounting for socioeconomic level when implementing public health measures
Audit and feedback in cardio– and cerebrovascular setting: Toward a path of high reliability in Italian healthcare
Adopting audit and feedback (A&F) strategies could be a suitable healthcare intervention to fulfill the challenge of monitoring and improving clinical guidelines in evidence-based medicine. Indeed, A&F is used to encourage professionals to better adhere to standard guidelines to improve healthcare performance. Briefly, an audit is an inspection of professional practice in comparison to professional standards or targets whose results are subsequen…
Socio-economic inequalities in the use of drugs for the treatment of chronic diseases in Italy
This study showed that drug consumption is influenced by the level of deprivation consistently with the distribution of diseases. For this reason, the main levers on which it is necessary to act to reduce disparities in health status are mainly related to prevention. Moreover, it is worth pointing out that the use of a municipal deprivation indicator necessarily generates an ecological bias, however, the experience of the present study, which for…
Mortality differences between migrants and Italians residing in Rome before, during, and in the aftermath of the great recession. A longitudinal cohort study from 2001 to 2015
Given the relevance of international migrations in Europe, studying migrants' health has proved increasingly important. The deterioration in migrant health and the gradual weakening of migrants' mortality advantage is likely to become a public health issue with important consequences for the healthcare system of all European countries
Sex differences in factors associated with heart failure and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction: A cross-sectional population-based study
There were sex differences in the factors associated with HF. The results suggest that prevention policies should consider the sex-specific impact on cardiac function of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors
Disparities in emergency department use between Italians and migrants residing in Rome, Italy: The Rome Dynamic Longitudinal Study from 2005 to 2015
This study shows differences in the ED utilisation between migrants and Italians, and within the migrant population, during the Great Recession. The findings may reflect differentials in the health status, and barriers to access primary and secondary care among migrants. In this regard, health policies and cuts in health spending measures may have played a key role, and interventions to tackle health and access disparities should include policy m…
Potentially avoidable hospitalization for asthma in children and adolescents by migrant status: Results from the Italian Network for Longitudinal Metropolitan Studies
The asthma PAH meta-analytic rate was higher among female children and adolescent immigrants compared to Italians, with heterogeneity among cohorts showing higher cohort-specific PAH also among males, with some differences by origin country. Access to primary care for children and adolescent immigrants should be improved and immigrants should be considered at risk of severe asthma outcomes and consequently targeted by clinicians
Socioeconomic differences in one-year survival after ischemic stroke: The effect of acute and post-acute care-pathways in a cohort study
Education level was inversely associated with mortality both in acute and post-acute phases. The care-pathway reduces but does not eliminate 1-year survival inequity
P1-193 Two-years mortality after evidence based drug therapy of acute myocardial infarction: A population-based cohort study in Rome, Italy
Introduction Clinical guidelines recommend treatment with evidence-based (EB) drug therapy (antiplatelets, β-blockers, agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system, statins) for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Results on long term outcomes from observational population studies are scarce. Objectives Analysing the association between EB drug therapy and 2 years mortality in AMI patients. Methods Twothousand-twohundred-and-four AM…
P2-141 Definition and validation of an algorithm to identify COPD patients from administrative databases
Introduction Administrative databases are increasingly used to identify patients with chronic conditions, however the optimal methodology for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is still debated. Objective To develop and validate an algorithm to identify patients with COPD in Lazio (2 625 102 residents over 45) linking clinical and administrative data. Methods From the regional hospitalisation, drug prescription and outpatient registries…
SP1-90 Socio-demographic and geographic differences in healthcare related outcomes in a cohort of diabetes patients in the Lazio Region, Italy
Introduction The Italian health system guarantees care to all citizens. Previous research reported socio-demographic differences in access to evidence-based therapies, whereas studies evaluating differences in healthcare related outcomes are scarce. Objectives Analysing socio-demographic and geographical differences in healthcare related outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Among all residents registered with the regional hea…
Income level and chronic ambulatory care sensitive conditions in adults: A multicity population-based study in Italy
The socioeconomic gradient in ACSC hospitalization rates confirms the gap in health status between social groups in our country. Insufficient or ineffective primary care is suggested as a plausible additional factor aggravating inequality. This finding highlights the need for improving outpatient care programmes to reduce the excess of unnecessary hospitalizations among poor people
The association of socioeconomic disadvantage with postoperative complications after major elective cardiovascular surgery
BACKGROUND: Understanding the mechanism by which both patient- and hospital level factors act in generating disparities has important implications for clinicians and policy-makers. OBJECTIVE: To measure the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and postoperative complications after major elective cardiovascular procedures. DESIGN: Multicity hospital-based study. SUBJECTS: Using Hospital Discharge Registries (ICD-9-CM codes), 19 310 pat…
Indicators of breast cancer severity and appropriateness of surgery based on hospital administrative data in the Lazio Region, Italy
Our findings suggest that administrative data need to be used with caution when evaluating surgical appropriateness, mainly because of the limited ability of SI to predict tumor size and the questionable quality of HIS data as observed in other studies
Socioeconomic differentials in premature mortality in Rome: Changes from 1990 to 2001
Socioeconomic inequalities in health in Rome are still present at the beginning of the 21st century. Strategies to monitor the impact of SEP on mortality over time in different populations should be implemented to direct health policies
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery: Socioeconomic inequalities in access and in 30 day mortality. A population-based study in Rome, Italy
