The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Neck of the Femur and Hip Fracture Surgery Volumes in the Lazio Region
This study compares surgery volumes for fractures of the neck of the femur (FNF) and hip replacements during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with previous years. Historical (2018-2019) and pandemic (2020-2021) surgery rates for FNF and hip replacement in Lazio, adjusted for age and gender, were calculated per period and compared with a Poisson regression model. For hip replacement surgery, a comparison of different types of hospitals was also made…
Prevalence of antibiotic prescription in pediatric outpatients in Italy: The role of local health districts and primary care physicians in determining variation. A multilevel design for healthcare dec…
Pediatric antibiotic use in the Lazio region is much higher than in other European countries. The intra-regional drug prescribing variability underlines the lack of therapeutic protocols shared at regional level and raises equity issues in access to optimal care. Both LHD managers and individual physicians should be involved in training interventions to improve the targeted use of antibiotics and mitigate the effect of contextual variables, such …
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
Differential misclassification of confounders in comparative evaluation of hospital care quality: Caesarean sections in Italy
Our findings emphasized the importance of rigorously inspecting for differential misclassification of confounders. Their validity may be subject to substantial heterogeneity over hospitals, over time and geographical areas
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…
Toward a New Payment System for Inpatient Rehabilitation: Part I: Predicting Resource Consumption
BACKGROUND: The measures of clinical status used to predict costs must pay the most attention possible to medical conditions and clinical complexity. Length of stay (LOS), which has been used as a proxy for resource consumption, is not a direct measure of costs. Classification and regression trees, which are used in defining iso-resource groups, can be affected by overfitting and are based on a priori choices of the splitting attributes. Finally,…
Outcome of Patients With Cardiac Diseases Admitted to Coronary Care Units: A Report From Lazio, Italy
BACKGROUND: Coronary care units (CCUs) currently treat a variety of diseases, but little is known about the effectiveness of CCUs on heart conditions other than acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the association between direct admission to CCUs and the risk of inhospital death in patients with heart disease, to investigate factors affecting direct admission to a CCU, and to assess the effect of …
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery: Socioeconomic inequalities in access and in 30 day mortality. A population-based study in Rome, Italy
Inequality in health: Socioeconomic differentials in mortality in Rome, 1990-95
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Population groups with a lower socioeconomic status (SES) have a greater risk of disease and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between SES and mortality in the metropolitan area of Rome during the six year period 1990-1995, and to examine variations in mortality differentials between 1990-92 and 1993-95. DESIGN: Rome has a population of approximately 2,800,000, with 6100 census tracts (CTs). During …
