The burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious public health problem all over the world. Vaccination remains most effective prevention measure, and safe HBV vaccines have been available since 1982. Health care workers (HCWs) vaccinated against prospectively followed up for at least 14 years were classified by their antibody titers after primary vaccination as: poor responders (10–99 mIU/mL); moderate (100–999 good (≥1000 mIU/mL). incidence loss was calculated 1000 person-years...
: In both the elderly and children, pneumonia remains one of leading causes hospitalization. This study aimed to assess impact pneumonia-related hospitalizations in population over 65 years age Veneto Region.
Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important cause of illness and death worldwide, particularly among the elderly. Previous studies on factors associated with mortality in patients hospitalized for CAP revealed a direct association between type microorganism involved, characteristics patient mortality. Vaccination status against pneumococcal disease was not considered. We conducted retrospective analysis rates after first hospitalization north-east Italy view to examining...
The vaccination campaign for the Veneto region (northeastern Italy) started on 27 December 2020. As of early 2021, 75.1% whole population has been fully vaccinated. Vaccine efficacy demonstrated in many clinical trials, but reports real-world contexts are still necessary. We conducted a retrospective cohort study 2,233,399 residents to assess reduction COVID-19 burden, taking different outcomes into consideration. First, we adopted non-brand-specific approach borrowed from survival analysis...
Pneumonia is an important cause of illness and death, particularly in elderly adults. This retrospective study was conducted to estimate the trend hospitalization for pneumonia Veneto from records all hospitals region (serving a population 4.81 million) during years 2004 through 2012.The cases identified hospital discharge were which first-listed diagnosis pneumonia, or meningitis, septicemia empyema associated with pneumonia. The annual total age-specific rates trends calculated correlated...
Violence against women is a significant public health concern, with femicide as its most extreme manifestation. This crime often perpetrated by current or former intimate partners, thus taking the name of partner (IPF). Although international comparisons are essential for prevention policies, cross-country comparative studies scarce in this context. The aim study was to evaluate and compare clinical, epidemiological medico-legal characteristics IPF autopsy cases investigated at Institutes...
