The Seveso accident in 1976 caused a large, populated area north of Milan, Italy, to be contaminated by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). In this study, the authors followed up exposed population for chronic effects; paper reports results mortality follow-up extension 1997-2001. study cohort includes 278,108 subjects resident at time or immigrating/born 10 years thereafter three zones with decreasing TCDD soil levels (zone A, very high; zone B, R, low) and reference territory...
In March 2020, when the Government imposed nation-wide lockdown measures to contrast COVID-19 outbreak, life of Italians suddenly changed. order evaluate impact on lifestyle habits and behavioral risk factors general adult population in Italy, we set up Lost Italy (LOckdown lifeSTyles IN ITALY) project. Within this project, online panel Doxa was used conduct a web-based cross-sectional study during first phase lockdown, large representative sample adults aged 18-74 years (N=6003). The...
Objective: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. However, little known on the relationship of its progression (ΔPWV) over time outcomes. The aim our study was to evaluate between ΔPWV all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients. Methods: We enrolled 402 consecutive outpatients. At baseline, anamnestic, clinical, blood pressure (BP), laboratory data PWV were assessed. examination repeated after 3.8 (I–III quartiles 3.5–4.2) years. Patients...
The relationship between liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma is recognized, but quantification of risk still uncertain. Therefore, we analysed data from a case-control study conducted in Italy 1984 1997 on 499 cases incident, histologically confirmed 1,552 controls hospital with acute, non-neoplastic disease. Overall, 87 (17.4%) vs 10 (0.6%) reported clinical history cirrhosis. corresponding odds ratio (OR) was 27.5 (95% confidence interval (CI), 14.3-15.2) after allowance for...
We aimed to assess the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms, hopelessness insomnia in older adults before during COVID-19 pandemic identifying subgroups at higher risk mental distress.Within Lost Lombardy project, a web-based cross-sectional study was conducted on representative sample 4400 aged 65 years or more from region recruited between November 17th 30th 2020.The symptoms increased by +112 % pandemic, +136 %, insufficient sleep +12 unsatisfactory +15 %. Feelings were frequent...
Objective Studies exploring the incidence and impact of psychomotor subtypes postoperative delirium (POD) on survival hip fracture patients are few, results inconsistent. We sought to assess POD their impact, in addition duration, 6‐month mortality older after hip‐fracture surgery. Methods This is a prospective study involving 571 individuals admitted an Orthogeriatric Unit within 5‐year period with diagnosis fracture. Survival status was assessed 6 months posthip Postoperative diagnosed...
Abstract The interpretation of sharp force fatality dynamics may be difficult in some cases, but a contribution to analysis the phenomenon provided by case studies. Therefore, purpose our study is focused on identifying, observed fatalities, reliable parameters that can differentiate homicidal and suicidal manner death, with particular reference criminological parameters. Data derived from cases Padua Venice 1997 2019, anonymized collected Excel, included personal, circumstantial, clinical,...
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionally affected older people in terms of clinical outcomes and care provision. We aimed to investigate adults’ changes access during the their determinants. used data from a cross-sectional study (LOST Lombardia) conducted autumn 2020 on representative sample 4400 adults most populated region Italy. Lifestyles, mental health, healthcare services before were collected. To identify factors associated with delays, reduction emergency department (ED) access,...
Data on medium- and long-term prognostic factors for death in elderly patients with acute Pulmonary Embolism (APE) are lacking. The present study aimed to assess sPESI score the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) as predictors of mortality haemodinamically stable APE.All consecutive aged≥65 years old, evaluated at emergency department (ED) our hospital from 2010 through 2014, a final diagnosis APE, were included this retrospective cohort study.Study population:162 patients, female:36.5%,...
Little is known on potential socioeconomic and gender disparities in dietary changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a telephone-based survey fall 2020 4400 participants representative of population aged 65-99 years living Lombardy, Italy. Changes Mediterranean lifestyle were assessed retrospectively by scoring modifications consumption nine food groups five diet-related behaviours compared to 2019. A Pandemic Score (MedCovid-19 Score) was computed, reflecting pandemic, with...
Healthcare delivery reorganization during the COVID-19 emergency may have had a significant impact on access to care for older adults with chronic conditions. We investigated such among all conditions aged ≥ 65 years, identified through electronic health databases of two local agencies-ATS Brianza and ATS Bergamo-from Lombardy region, Italy. considered hospitalizations 2020 compared average 2017-2019 quantified differences using rate ratios (RRs). Overall, in there were mean 374,855 1...
To evaluate the trends of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates from 2003 to 2014 in Italy by age groups regions.We used data 48 registries 17 Italian regions estimate standardized overall sex, (<50, 50-69, 70+ years), geographic area (northwest, northeast, center, south, islands). Time were expressed as annual percent change (APC) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Incidence decreased 104.3 (2003) 89.9 × 100,000 (2014) men 64.3 58.4 women. Among men, during 2007-2010...
We report a case of segmental lentiginosis (unilateral lentiginosis), that is, asymmetric distribution lentigines on one side the body, in 23-year-old woman. Lesions involved right face and cervical region, mostly within area division trigeminal nerve. Histologic examination disclosed lentiginous pattern as well some nests melanocytes at dermal-epidermal junction (so-called jentigo pattern). Similar cases have been described literature under term “zosteriform nevus,” which our opinion makes...
The epidemiology of lung cancer is changing worldwide, with smoking being the key driver incidence and mortality. Our aim to analyze incidence, survival mortality trends in Italy framework 2017 survey on behavior Italy.AIRTUM reports incidence; Italy.Men achieved progress control characterized by a decrease an increase survival. decreasing use tobacco men (from 60% 1960s 24% 2017) was most likely responsible for Women showed no progress: although improved slightly, were both rise. This due...
To evaluate short-term (2003-2014) cancer incidence and mortality trends in Italy.Italian Cancer Registries data, available the AIRTUM database, from 17 out of 20 regions were used. The number incident cases deaths estimated for those registries years with incomplete information. Age-standardized rates, overall stratified by geographic area, region, sex, site, major age group, computed. Time expressed as annual percent change rates.In Italy, among males, rates all cancers showed during...
Background Evidence about late effects in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors is scarce. This study assessed the risk of subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs) to identify most common SMNs be considered follow‐up care. Methods Population‐based registries retrospectively identified first primary tumors (between 1976 2013) AYAs (15‐39 years old at their diagnosis). AYA were those alive least 5 after diagnosis. The excess was measured as standardized incidence ratios (SIRs)...
Background Although a direct relationship between tinnitus or hearing difficulties and COVID-19 has been suggested, current literature provides inconsistent results, no research undertaken in older adults. Methods In November 2020, we conducted the LOST Lombardia survey, telephone-based cross-sectional study on sample of 4,400 individuals representative general population aged ≥65 years from Lombardy region, Northern Italy. Individuals with diagnosed and/or loss were asked whether their...
according to the International Agency for Cancer Research on Cancer, in 2022, breast cancer is most common Italian population, followed by colorectal cancer. Oncological screenings represent an effective secondary prevention strategy counteract and cancers, significantly reducing mortality. In Lombardy Region (Northern Italy), screening programmes have been active since 2007, but adherence, especially specific population subgroups, remains lower than expected.
