Living in areas with higher levels of surrounding greenness and access to urban green have been associated beneficial health outcomes. Some studies suggested a influence on mortality, but the evidence is still controversial.We used longitudinal data from large cohort estimate associations two measures residential exposure cause-specific mortality stroke incidence.We studied population-based 1,263,721 residents Rome aged [Formula: see text], followed 2001 2013. As exposure, we utilized leaf...
Air pollution represents a serious threat to health on global scale, being responsible for large portion of the burden disease from environmental factors. Current evidence about association between air exposure and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is still controversial. We aimed evaluate area-level ambient self-reported DM in population sample Italy.
Cirrhosis is an advanced liver disease affecting millions of people worldwide, involving high healthcare costs. Despite experimental evidence suggesting a possible role airborne pollutants in diseases, epidemiological studies are lacking. We aimed at investigating the association between exposure to air and incidence cirrhosis large population-based cohort Rome.We used administrative established from 2001 census. included all adults 30 years age or older who were free cirrhosis, resulting...
Health care workers (HCW) are particularly at risk of acquiring tuberculosis (TB), even in countries with low TB incidence. Therefore, screening HCW is a useful prevention strategy both and high Tuberculin skin test (TST) widely used although it suffers specificity; on the contrary, vitro enzyme immunoassay tests (IGRA) show superior specificity sensitivity but more expensive. The present study reports results three-year surveillance among large teaching hospital Rome, using TST (by standard...
Healthcare acquired infections (HAI) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitals worldwide. Aim the study was to analyze nine years surveillance activity, carried out by point prevalence surveys from 2007 2015, a 450-bed teaching hospital Rome.Point were every year medical surgical wards following same methodology. In accordance with definitions used Centers for Disease Control, all occurred more than 48 hours after admission considered HAI, included study. Baseline...

Centralized Information System for Infectious Diseases Laboratory Data Management databases were used obtain data on AFP indicators laboratory performance countries' 2019. EV...
Introduction Current evidence for an association between air pollution exposure and type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is still controversial. DM cases are often extracted from hospital records, however many of them treated in outpatient services, thus being excluded the analyses. The aim our study was to evaluate ecological ambient a large population sample Italy utilizing multilevel modeling. Methods Self-reported physician diagnosed DM, known risk factors socio-economic status were 2012-13...
