Estimating the burden of dementia and parkinsonism through a novel identification algorithm based on healthcare administrative data
Introduction: Neurological disorders (ND), particularly dementia and parkinsonism, are major public health challenges in aging populations. Estimating their prevalence and incidence is essential for healthcare resource planning and targeted interventions. This study aims to estimate the burden of these conditions in the Marche region of Italy, using a novel identification approach applied to administrative healthcare data. Methods: A cross-sectio…
A study protocol for identifying aging trajectories toward chronic neurodegenerative diseases by means of Marche regional administrative databases – TREND project
Background: People are living longer but an increasing number of older people experience chronicity and disability in the latest years of their life. The Marche region is one of the Italian regions where people live the longest lives; therefore, the number of people with age-related chronic diseases is expected to be at least similar, if not higher, compared to the rest of Italy. The identification of the aging trajectories is of huge interest in…
Applicability of the adjusted morbidity groups algorithm for healthcare programming
The flexibility of the AMG, together with its ability to support policymakers and clinical sector, could favour its implementation in different scenarios across Europe. A clear strategy for the adoption of HRA tools and related key elements and lessons learnt for a successful transferability at the EU level were defined. HRA strategies should be considered a pillar of healthcare policies and programming to achieve person-centred care and promote …
Toward Adoption of Health Risk Assessment in Population-Based and Clinical Scenarios
Successful adoption of the AMG algorithm was achieved in the two sites confirming transferability. Marche identified the key requirements for a population-based HRA strategy, whereas Viljandi Hospital proved its potential for clinical use paving the way toward value-based healthcare strategies
Is OpenStreetMap a good source of information for cultural statistics? The case of Italian museums
Data coming from Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) are a precious source of knowledge, especially when official statistics are difficult to produce at a detailed level. However, in order to be used effectively as a supporting source, Volunteered Geographic Information must meet thorough standards of quality. In this work, the quality of OpenStreetMap (OSM) – in terms of completeness, positional and semantic accuracies – is evaluated in the…
Mapping the invisibles
In urban geography it is a common practice to refer to censuses and other official sources of data to analyse residential segregation. However, there are limitations to those data, especially where particular groups of people are concerned. Often, official sources of data do not allow micro-level analysis of the characteristics, needs and residential patterns of socially disadvantaged residents. At the same time, measures based on income threshol…
