Improved prediction of 5-year mortality by updating the chronic related score for risk profiling in the general population
Objective: The aim of this study was to improve the performance of the Chronic Related Score (CReSc) in predicting mortality and healthcare needs in the general population. Methods: A population-based study was conducted, including all beneficiaries of the Regional Health Service of Lombardy, Italy, aged 18 years or older in January 2015. Each individual was classified as exposed or unexposed to 69 candidate predictors measured before baseline, u…
Are we equally at risk of changing smoking behavior during a public health crisis? Impact of educational level on smoking from the Tempo cohort
Current findings showed a widening of the social inequality gap in relation to smoking rates, underscoring the increased vulnerability of persons with low educational level to smoking and the likely inadequate focus on social inequalities in relation to tobacco control policies during the pandemic
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…

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
Integrated Programs for Early Recognition of Severe Mental Disorders
The onset of mental disorders often occurs in adolescence or young adulthood, but the process of early diagnosis and access to timely effective and appropriate services can still be a challenge. The goal of this paper is to describe a pilot case of implementation of the ultra-high-risk (UHR) paradigm in six Italian departments of mental health employing an integrated approach to address clinical practice and service organization for youth in a br…
