Recent research has found evidence of an association between motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) or near miss (NMAs), and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) its main medical cause, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). However, EDS can also be due to non-medical factors, such as sleep debt (SD), which is common among professional truck drivers. On the opposite side, rest breaks naps are known protect against accidents.To investigate OSA, SD, EDS, naps, with occurrence MVAs NMAs in a large sample...
Background Sleep-related problems are known risk factors for road accidents. However, very few studies have investigated the role played by insomnia and its components, no data available a population of occupational drivers at risk, such as truck driver category. Objective To measure prevalence impact on motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) near-miss (NMAs) in 949 drivers. Design Cross-sectional survey. Results Insomnia affected 27.5% sample. Compared to other drivers, 3 years prior study, with...
Objectives Notwithstanding decades of efforts to increase the uptake seasonal influenza (flu) vaccination among European healthcare workers (HCWs), immunisation rates are still unsatisfactory. In order understand reasons for low adherence flu vaccination, a study was carried out HCWs two organisations in Liguria, region northwest Italy. Methods A cross-sectional based on anonymous self-administered web questionnaires between October 2013 and February 2014. Through univariate multivariate...
Abstract Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of being infected with SARS-CoV-2, yet limited information is available on factors infection. We pooled data occupational surveillance 10,654 HCW who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection in six Italian centers. Information was demographics, job title, department employment, source exposure, use personal protective equipment (PPEs), and COVID-19-related symptoms. fitted multivariable logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios...
Silicosis is an untreatable but preventable occupational disease, caused by exposure to silica. It can progressively evolve lung impairment, respiratory failure and death, even after has ceased. However, little known about diseases-related interest at the level of scientific community, media coverage web behavior. This article aims filling in this gap knowledge, taking silicosis as a case study.We investigated silicosis-related web-activities using Google Trends (GT) for capturing Internet...
Vaccination against Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) became mandatory in Italy for all newborns and 12 years-old individuals the 1991. The immunogenicity of HBV vaccine effectiveness universal immunization strategy have been widely demonstrated. However need to assess antibody concentrations above well known serological correlate protection infection (≥10 mIU/mL), established immunized with a 3 doses vaccination course, is still recommended subjects exposed occupational risks different settings,...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a main cause of chronic and acute hepatitis. Healthcare workers (HCWs), including medical students resident doctors, have an occupational risk HBV infection. The study aimed to evaluate the long-term persistence protective anti-HBs antibody levels in healthcare doctors at for exposure 15 years after primary vaccination course. Further objective was anamnestic response observed non-seroprotected subjects receiving booster dose. Data were collected from clinical...
The surveillance of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in both healthcare workers and students is considered fundamental for (TB) prevention. aim the present study was to estimate LTBI prevalence evaluate potential risk-factors associated with this condition a large cohort medical Italy. In cross-sectional study, performed between March December 2012, 1511 eligible subjects attending Medical School University Genoa, trained at IRCCS San Martino-IST Teaching Hospital were actively called...
Abstract Aim To develop an instrument to investigate knowledge and predictive factors of needlestick sharps injuries (NSIs) in nursing students during clinical placements. Design Instrument development cross‐sectional study for psychometric testing. Methods A self‐administered including demographic data, injury epidemiology NSIs was developed between October 2018–January 2019. Content validity assessed by a panel experts. The instrument's factor structure discriminant were explored using...
Soluble mesothelin-related peptide (SMRP) may be useful in the diagnosis and detection of early stage mesothelioma. We investigated SMRP upfront predictive role for mesothelioma asbestos-exposed workers.A total 1,715 subjects underwent a first visit were invited follow-up after 1 2 years, with clinical examination blood sampling. was measured by an ELISA assay.Median at 0.45 [interquartile range (IQR) i.e. 25th-75th percentile: 0.30-0.67 nmol/l]. In all, 1,676 (97.8%) followed up median...
