Objectives: To describe the epidemiology of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (FVG) region, Italy, over a 13-year period (2002–2014), estimating ALS (a) incidence, prevalence, and clinical features; (b) mortality, also comparing Udine municipality to rest FVG.Methods: We conducted retrospective population-based study. incident cases were ascertained using multiple sources validated through expert review. calculated crude standardized incidence rate (IR), point...
Objectives: To characterize the timing and pathway of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis to identify predictors delayed in a retrospective cohort. Methods: The cohort included all patients with incident ALS between 2010 2014 Friuli-Venezia Giulia (FVG) region, Italy, admitted two University Hospitals. Information on demographics, clinical presentation, healthcare use was obtained from health databases electronic medical records (EMRs). Total diagnostic time (TDT), interval...
Objectives To evaluate changes in the use of antipsychotics and medications with anticholinergic activity (MACs) during hospitalization older adults dementia factors associated antipsychotic prescriptions increased burden (ACB). Methods design This retrospective cohort study included all patients aged 65 years or a discharge diagnosis hospitalized at university hospital Udine, Italy, from 2012 to 2014. Medications dispensed within 3 months before after were identified community‐pharmacy...
Background: Tracking the white matter principal tracts is routinely typically included during pre-surgery planning examinations and has revealed to limit functional resection of low-grade gliomas (LGGs) in eloquent areas. Objective: We examined integrity Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus (SLF) Inferior Fronto-Occipital (IFOF), both known be part language-related network patients with LGGs involving temporo-insular cortex. In a comparative approach, we contrasted main quantitative fiber...
Abstract Background Low‐grade gliomas (LGGs) are frequently associated with epilepsy. There few studies addressing the impact of seizures, antiseizure medications (ASMs), and lesion localization on presurgery cognitive functioning. Methods We tested relation between above‐mentioned variables in a continuous series 73 young patients (mean age 38.3 years ± 11.7) affected by LGGs The anatomical areas, involved this sample, were left insula surrounding cortical subcortical right precentral...
SARS-CoV-2 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets of symptomatic individuals. With respect to asymptomatic individuals, there are conflicting results in the literature and a lack studies specifically examining transmission healthcare settings.The aim this retrospective study, conducted northeastern Italian region, was estimate contagiousness workers (HCWs) who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Asymptomatic HCWs by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) at...

 Background
 Sociodemographic characteristics and health behaviours are associated with medication use in pregnancy, but it is unclear if they independent predictors because women´s status has hardly been accounted for. We aimed to identify of medications iron/folic acid.
 Methods
 This cohort included pregnant women recruited a prenatal clinic Trieste, Italy, from 2007 2009. Dispensations were obtained the regional outpatient dispensation database through record...
Objectives: (a) to estimate the accuracy of International Classification Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in Hospital Discharge Database (HDD) Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia; (b) identify predictors a true positive ALS code; (c) compare incident and prevalent cases obtained from HDD with those identified retrospective population-based study. Methods: Records all patients discharged 2010–2014 an ICD-9-CM other motor...
In order to evaluate the users' satisfaction degree for diagnostic, therapeutic and assistance services amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia (FVG), a self-compiled anonymous multiple-choice questionnaire was administered ALS patients their caregivers. The explored 41 different issues covering following areas: (a) access diagnostic pathway communication among patients, families health professionals; (b) quality of disease monitoring effectiveness...

Abstract Objectives Reliable information on preadmission medications is essential for inpatients with dementia, but its quality has hardly been evaluated. We assessed the completeness of and factors associated incomplete recording. Methods compared recorded in hospital electronic medical records (EMRs) community‐pharmacy dispensations hospitalizations discharge code dementia at University Hospital Udine, Italy, 2012–2014. calculated: (a) prevalence omissions (dispensed medication not EMRs),...
