The last 2019/20 northern hemisphere influenza season overlapped with the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Italy was western country where severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread to a significant extent. In this representative cross-sectional survey, we aimed describe some opinions and attitudes Italian general population towards both vaccination COVID-19 pandemic, identify potential modifiers decision-making process regarding uptake 2020/21...
Background/Objectives The economic impact of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Italy is not well defined. This analysis assessed the outcomes RSV-hospitalized patients aged ≥ 60 years Italy. Methods: Healthcare resource utilization and direct healthcare costs during first RSV hospitalization 12-month follow-up were collected from Italian administrative databases. A propensity-score-matched (PSM) was performed between hospitalized for those any cause (without an diagnosis). Results: Among...
The elderly, commonly defined as subjects aged ≥65 years, are among the at-risk recommended for annual influenza vaccination in European countries. Currently, two new vaccines available this population: MF59-adjuvanted quadrivalent vaccine (aQIV) and high-dose (hdQIV). Their multidimensional assessment might maximize results terms of achievable health benefits. Therefore, we carried out a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) aQIV by adopting multidisciplinary policy-oriented approach to...
nificant difference was found between UC patients and control group (P > 0.05).In CD patients, no significant association with G908R variant found.L1007finsC SNP showed an (9.8%) compared controls (2.9%, P = 0.002) (2.3%, 0.01).Moreover, in L1007finsC mutations were significantly associated different phenotypes to wild-type patients.No of IBD the TLR4 SNPs either cohort (allele frequencies: D299G-controls 3.9%, 3.7%, 3.4%, 0.05; T399I-controls 2.9%, 3.0%, 0.05). CONCLUSION:These findings...

Health systems worldwide need to pay attention both sustainability and quality. The explosion of health technologies represents a challenge for systems' sustainability, evidence-based tools should support resources allocation guarantee continuous quality improvement. value-based approach could disentangle the full benefit technology, this is utmost importance in vaccination field because several obstacles still existing reaching optimal uptake.The paper conveys evidence on value...
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of acute respiratory infection (ARI). The risk severe RSV outcomes higher among older adults (OAs) and individuals with chronic diseases (high risk, HR). AS01E-adjuvanted preFusion protein 3 OA vaccine (adjuvanted RSVPreF3 approved for the prevention lower tract disease [LRTD] due to in OAs). objective this study was assess potential public health impact an vaccination program using adjuvanted ≥75 years (y) HR ≥60 y Italy....
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory infection and can lead to severe disease in older adults or those with comorbidities. This analysis aims evaluate the demographic clinical burden RSV hospitalizations among Italy inform potential preventative strategies. Adults aged ≥50 years ≥1 hospitalization discharge diagnosis for from 2010 2021 were included. Demographic characteristics before first outcomes during this 12 months following are described. Of 243...
This study investigates public perceptions and engagement with mobile health (mHealth) across eight European countries: Italy, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Poland, Romania, Hungary. The focus is on attitudes toward app usage data sharing, addressing privacy security concerns while highlighting generational educational differences. A cross-sectional survey was conducted 6581 participants from selected countries. assessed current of apps, interest in future use, willingness to...
Background/Objectives: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a leading cause of Lower Tract Infections (LRTIs), posing serious threat to vulnerable populations. Although growing evidence highlights its significant impact on older adults, RSV surveillance and data collection remain largely focused children, underestimating the burden in high-risk adults. This review aims synthesize current epidemiological clinical adults Europe, assess existing strategies, identify gaps guide targeted public...
Vaccine hesitancy in healthcare workers (HCWs) has been studied for various contagious diseases, but there is still insufficient knowledge about this phenomenon COVID-19. We developed and validated a knowledge, attitude, practice survey of 39 questions to assess Italian HCWs' toward vaccination general (general hesitancy), COVID-19 (COVID-19 public health injunctive measures (refusal obligations). The was administered through web platform between July November 2021. Three multivariable...
