Although studies have documented increased mortality during heat waves, little information is available on the subgroups most susceptible to these effects. We evaluated effects of summertime high temperature daily among population defined by demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, and episodes hospitalization for various conditions preceding 2 years.We studied a total 205,019 residents 4 Italian cities (Bologna, Milan, Rome, Turin) age 35 or older who died 1997-2003. The...
Several studies have identified strong effects of high temperatures on mortality at population level; however, individual vulnerability factors associated with heat-related in-hospital are largely unknown. The objective the study was to evaluate using a multi-city case-crossover analysis.We studied residents four Italian cities, aged 65+ years, who died during 1997-2004. For 94,944 individuals in hospital and were hospitalised two or more days before death, demographics, chronic conditions,...
A relationship between quality of primary health care and preventable hospitalizations has been described in the US, especially among elderly. In Europe, there a recent increase evaluation Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC) as an indicator quality, but evidence is still limited. The aim this study was to determine whether income level associated with higher hospitalization rates for ACSC adults country universal coverage. From hospital registries four Italian cities (Turin, Milan,...
Objectives to produce for the national territory as a whole deprivation index (ID) at census section level, based on 2011 data, in same way Italian 2001 census, revising formulation of some indicators. Setting and participants study uses individual data general population housing 2011. For calculation five conditions were chosen that best describe multidimensional concept social material deprivation: low level education, being unemployed, living rent, crowded house, single-parent family. The...
The health status and care needs of immigrant populations must be assessed. aim this study was to evaluate barriers accessing primary the appropriateness among resident immigrants in Italy, using indicators regarding maternal health, avoidable hospitalization, emergency care.Cross-sectional some National Monitoring System Health Status Healthcare Immigrant Population (MSHIP), coordinated by Institute for Health, Migration Poverty (INMP), calculated on perinatal care, hospital discharge,...
Background: There is extensive documentation on social inequalities in mortality across Europe, showing heterogeneity among countries. Italy contributed to this comparative research, through longitudinal systems from northern or central cities of the country. This study aims analyse educational general and cause-specific a sample Italian population. Methods: Study population was selected within cohort 123 056 individuals, followed up for record linkage with national archive death...
Earlier in 2020, seven Italian regions, which cover 62% of the population, set up Mimico-19 network to monitor side effects restrictive measures against Covid-19 on volumes and quality care. To this aim, we retrospectively analysed hospital discharges data, computing twelve indicators volume performance three clinical areas: cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics. Weekly for period January-July 2020 were compared with corresponding average 2018-2019; comparisons performed within 3 sub-periods:...
Cancer is a multifactorial disease. The large impact of occupational exposure on the burden cancer continues to be paramount public health concern that deserves more attention. study aims evaluate cancer-specific mortality risk in relation sectors employment. We used cohort from Rome Longitudinal Study (ROL) and linked it with National Social Insurance Agency (INPS) database obtain working histories. considered longest duration employment sector as proxy exposure, insurance activities...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected vulnerable populations in terms of comorbidity and socioeconomic disadvantage, both between within countries. This retrospective population-based cohort study is part the Horizon 2020 ORCHESTRA project, was conducted Emilia-Romagna (E-R) Region, aimed to investigate risk hospitalization, disease severity all-cause mortality during 30 days following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods All adult positive cases notified E-R from...
Understanding the mechanism by which both patient- and hospital level factors act in generating disparities has important implications for clinicians policy-makers.To measure association between socioeconomic position (SEP) postoperative complications after major elective cardiovascular procedures.Multicity hospital-based study.Using Hospital Discharge Registries (ICD-9-CM codes), 19 310 patients were identified undergoing five operations (coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve...
OBJECTIVES: to provide a description of inequalities in overall and COVID-19 mortality by ecological socioeconomic measures (ESEMs) during the first outbreak peak (March April 2020) Emilia-Romagna Region. DESIGN: cross-sectional study based on record linkage notification system, regional population health register 2011 census data. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: residents who were grouped according three ESEMs calculated at block level: index deprivation, household crowding, percentage foreign...
The success of pediatric COVID-19 vaccination strongly depends on parents' willingness to vaccinate their children. To date, the role socioeconomic position (SEP) in has not been thoroughly examined.We evaluated association between and SEP a large cohort.A case-control study design nested into cohort children born 2007 2017, living Veneto Region followed up at least January 1, 2022, was adopted. Data were collected from Pedianet database linked with regional registry. Each child vaccinated...
Abstract Short-term effects of air pollution on daily mortality and hospital admissions for respiratory causes are well documented. Few studies, however, explore the association between exposure to emergency room visits disorders, particularly in Italy among children as a susceptible population. A time-series analysis was conducted short-term pollutants (PM10, total suspended particulates [TSP], NO2, SO2, CO, O3) pediatric (ER) small city northern Italy, Reggio Emilia, during period...
Background: Epidemiological studies have documented large international variations in the prevalence of asthma, and ‘westernization’ seems to play an important role development disease. The aims this study were compare respiratory symptoms migrant nonmigrant children resident Italy, examine effect length time living Italy. Methods: Data collected a cross‐sectional (SIDRIA‐2) performed 12 Italian centres, using standardized parental questionnaires. For 29 305 subjects included analysis (6–7...
The primary aim of this study was to assess the effect immigrant status on Emergency Room (ER) utilisation by children under age one, considering all, non-urgent, very urgent, and followed hospitalisation visits. second investigate role played mother's educational level in relationship between citizenship ER utilisation. cohort included all healthy singleton live births years 2008–2009 residing province Reggio Emilia, for first year life order their outcomes were rate main explanatory...
Urban areas are disproportionately affected by multiple pressures from overbuilding, traffic, air pollution, and heat waves that often interact interconnected in producing health effects. A new synthetic tool to summarize environmental climatic vulnerability has been introduced for the city of Rome, Italy, provide basis policies. From a literature overview based on availability data, several macro-dimensions were identified 1,461 grid cells with width 1 km2 Rome: land use, roads...
Although population-based screening has the potential to reduce inequalities in breast cancer survival, evidence on this topic is controversial. The objective of study was evaluate whether full implementation a mammography programme Emilia-Romagna Italy had an impact variations survival by educational level.A cohort performed, including all women <70 years and residing who infiltrating registered 1997-2000 (transitional period) or 2001-03 (consolidation period).

Describing and monitoring socioeconomic inequalities in health are the prerequisite for planning equity policies. In Italy, some cities have integrated personal information from municipal registries with Census data healthcare systems to set up Longitudinal Metropolitan Studies (LMS). Under coordination of Italian National Institute Health, Migration, Poverty (NIHMP), six LMS network contributed present monograph: Turin, Venice, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, Rome.
