Italian regional variation in amenable mortality 2015/2019
Background: This study addresses the need to monitor regional performance in decentralized health systems and determine the main variables associated with regional variability. Amenable mortality serves as a pivotal performance indicator of healthcare systems. Methods: An observational study was grounded from 2015 to 2019. The regional variability in amenable mortality, using age-standardized death rates (SDRs), was analyzed. Variation among regi…
Gender differences in healthcare utilization across Europe
BACKGROUND: Understanding gender-based disparities in healthcare utilization is crucial for informing equitable health policy. However, cross-national evidence across multiple service domains in Europe remains limited. OBJECTIVE: To examine gender differences in healthcare utilization across 27 European countries and explore variability across service types. METHODS: We analyzed data from 257,388 adults in the third wave of the European Health In…
Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…
Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
Pneumococcal vaccine uptake among high-risk adults and children in Italy
Pneumococcal vaccination uptake within prioritized groups and children in Italy remains inadequate. Scarce awareness of vaccine availability and obstacles in accessing vaccinations emerge as principal barriers influencing this scenario
Rates and determinants of Rotavirus vaccine uptake among children in Italy
Consistent collection of behavioural preferences and socioeconomic characteristics of recipients of rotavirus vaccine campaigns, their epidemiological information, cost-benefit, and national policy data are crucial for designing effective vaccination strategies in Italy and other European countries with similar social profiles to reach the target uptake
Gestational diabetes mellitus and its impact on the mother-infant relationship
Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk of poor perinatal mental health outcomes. However, the association between GDM and the mother-infant relationship is unclear. This study aimed to examine whether GDM itself impacts the mother-infant relationship and maternal mental health using a cohort study design. We used data from the Cohort of Newborns in Emilia-Romagna (CoNER) study, which included 642 women recruited in B…
Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes from 1990 to 2021, with projections of prevalence to 2050
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden from 1990 to 2021, the proportion of type 1 and type 2 diabetes…
Application of Deep Learning Model in the Sonographic Diagnosis of Uterine Adenomyosis
In this preliminary study DL model showed a lower accuracy but a higher specificity in diagnosing adenomyosis on ultrasonographic images compared to intermediate-skilled trainees

Physical Well-Being of Children and Adolescents during the Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic
Our findings suggest that the current pandemic has strongly impacted the well-being of children and adolescents. It appears to have primarily affected adolescents, with a significant reduction in PA levels, even after the end of the national lockdown
Social Determinants of Health and Distance Learning in Italy in the Era of the Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic
Objectives: To investigate the experiences by distance learning (DL) method during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Italy, and to search for correlations with purported experiences and respective levels of social determinants of health (SDH). Study design and methods: Cross-sectional online survey, investigating various SDH and parents’ attitude towards DL, proposed 6 months after the beginning of the pandemic to a sample population o…
The Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinimetric Properties of Screening Instruments to Identify Frail Older Adults Attending Emergency Departments
Understanding whether frailty screening on presentation to EDs is accurate in identifying frailty, and predicting these outcomes is important for decision-making and targeting appropriate management
The Contribution of Case Mix, Skill Mix and Care Processes to the Outcomes of Community Hospitals
More research is needed to study the impact of CH skill mix and care processes on patient outcomes
Patterns of Covid-19 related excess mortality in the municipalities of Northern Italy during the first wave of the pandemic
The Importance of Taking a Patient-Centered, Community-Based Approach to Preventing and Managing Frailty
Across the world, life expectancy is increasing. However, the years of life gained do not always correspond to healthy life years, potentially leading to an increase in frailty. Given the extent of population aging, the association between frailty and age and the impact of frailty on adverse outcomes for older people, frailty is increasingly being recognized to be a significant public health concern. Early identification of the condition is impor…
Measuring the quality of care in small countries
Organized screening programmes for breast and cervical cancer in 17 EU countries
In conclusion three messages: organized cancer screening programmes may reduce the socioeconomic inequalities in younger people's use of preventive services over time; socioeconomic variables are not related to participation rates; these rates do not reach a level of stability in several countries. Therefore, without effective recruitment strategies and tailored organizations, screening participation may not achieve additional gains
Socio-economic factors associated with infant mortality in Italy
In Italy, a high-income country where health care is universally available, variations in IM were strongly associated with relative and absolute income and unemployment rate. These results suggest that in Italy IM is not only related to income distribution, as demonstrated for other developed countries, but also to economic factors such as absolute income and unemployment. In order to reduce IM and the existing inequalities, the challenge for Ita…
