Cancer mortality and sectors of employment
The results showed an increased risk of cancer death in some traditional industrial sectors compared to the reference category of insurance activities such as construction and wood and leather products and limited evidence in sectors like cleaning, accommodation and food services and hairdressing. The adopted method proved to be effective in monitoring occupational risks and activating proper prevention initiatives and further insights
Small-area deprivation index does not improve the capability of multisource comorbidity score in mortality prediction
Background: The stratification of the general population according to health needs allows to provide better-tailored services. A simple score called Multisource Comorbidity Score (MCS) has been developed and validated for predicting several outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the ability of MCS in predicting 1-year mortality improves by incorporating socioeconomic data (as measured by a deprivation index). Methods: Beneficiari…
Allocation of Users of Mental Health Services to Needs-Based Care Clusters
In Italy, despite strong community-based mental health services, needs assessment is unsatisfactory. Using the Mental Health Clustering Tool (MHCT) we adopted a multidimensional and non-diagnosis dependent approach to assign mental health services users with similar needs to groups corresponding to resources required for effective care. We tested the MHCT in nine Departments of Mental Health in four Italian regions. After a brief training, 318 pr…
From contact coverage to effective coverage of community care for patients with severe mental disorders
This study ascertained the gap between contact and effective coverage of MHC and showed that administrative data can usefully contribute to assess the effectiveness of a mental health system
The Management of Health Hazards Related to Municipal Solid Waste on Fire in Europe
Landfilling should be the last option in an integrated Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management approach. In the European Union (EU), the policy framework to protect the environment and the public health against the impact of health hazards related to urban solid waste management has been consistently implemented in recent decades. A growing interest in the negative impact of fires in waste landfills on the environment and people's health was repor…
Real World Use of Antidiabetic Drugs in the Years 2011–2017
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. The availability of new antidiabetic drugs (ADs) has led to complex treatment patterns and to changes in the patterns of specific drug utilization. The aim of this population-based study was to describe the pattern of antidiabetic drugs (ADs) use in Southern Italy in the years 2011-2017, in relation to the updated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapy guidelines. A…
Association of the Individual and Context Inequalities on the Breastfeeding
Despite the advantages of breastfeeding being widely recognized, the economic level can have an influence on breastfeeding rates, with rich women breastfeeding longer than poor in high-income countries. In Italy, socio-economic differences affect breastfeeding start and continuation among most deprived people, such as in Southern Italy. The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of the initiation and continuation of exclusive breas…
A retrospective follow up study on maternal age and infant mortality in two Sicilian districts
The association between advanced maternal age and infant deaths in the Messina district was due in part to the excess of newborns from advanced age mothers, but also to increased risk of death among such newborns. The significant interaction between district of residence and maternal age indicated that the IMR excess in the Messina district cannot be explained by disproportionately high live birth rates among older mothers and suggested the hypot…
