During the intensive care units' (ICUs) reorganization that was forced by COVID-19 emergency, attention to traditional infection control measures may have been reduced. Nevertheless, evidence on effect of pandemic healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is still limited and mixed. In this study, we estimated impact HAI incidence investigated type occurring in patients.
This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of any vitamin administration(s) in preventing and managing COVID-19 and/or long-COVID. Databases were searched up May 2023 identify randomized clinical trials comparing data on effects supplementation(s) versus placebo or standard care two conditions interest. Inverse-variance random-effects meta-analyses conducted estimate pooled risk ratios (RRs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause mortality between supplemented non-supplemented...
Achieving high levels of vaccination coverage against COVID-19 may be hindered by vaccine hesitancy. We quantified over time the prevalence hesitancy among university students, investigated its determinants, and analyzed student attitudes, risk perceptions compliance with preventive measures. The survey was administered online from 1 March to 30 June 2021. A multivariable logistic regression model built identify predictors Overall, we collected 5369 questionnaires that were grouped into...
Infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii represent a major concern for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, the epidemiology of these infections among COVID-19 patients has not been fully explored. The aims this study were (i) to characterize clonal spread A. admitted ICU Umberto I hospital Rome during first year pandemic and (ii) identify risk factors its acquisition. Isolates analysed pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, multivariable regression model was constructed. Adjusted...
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten. Serology and organ culture system can support CD diagnosis, despite histology being gold standard.We wanted to test uniformity application Marsh-Oberhuber criteria five different histologists. We also compared histological serological data with cultural results consider new possible strategies in diagnosis.We studied 114 patients, who were divided two groups. Group A was composed 66 patients on a...
The COVID-19 pandemic may have had an impact on healthcare-associated infection (HAI) rates. In this study, we analyzed the occurrence of HAIs in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) Umberto I teaching hospital Rome before and during pandemic. All infants admitted from 1 March 2018 to 28 February 2022 were included divided into four groups according their admission date: two (periods II) III IV). association between risk factors time-to-first event was using multivariable Cox regression...
Background: Nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is an emergent condition, the framework of which yet unclear, whereas diagnosis suggested only by gluten-dependent symptoms after excluding wheat allergy and celiac disease (CD). Our goal was to highlight intestinal, systemic, oral alterations clarify NCGS pathogenesis identify new diagnostic tools. Study: A total 60 patients, 20 untreated CD, treated healthy volunteers were recruited. The differential among gluten-related disorders performed...
In Italy, despite the documented positive effects of rotavirus (RV) vaccination on reducing burden RV disease, an updated national assessment its impact clinical outcomes is still lacking. This study aims to analyze implementation in evaluating discharges for acute pediatric gastroenteritis (AGE). A retrospective analysis, including hospital discharge records and data coverage children aged 0-71 months from 2009 2019, was conducted. We examined trends standardized incidence before after...
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the healthcare-associated infection (HAI) risk in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, a comparison between patients with and without terms of HAI incidence been rarely explored. In this study, we characterized occurrence among admitted to ICU Umberto I hospital Rome during first 16 months also identified factors for acquisition. Patients were divided into four groups according their admission date. A multivariable conditional set regression model...
Public health genomics (PHG) aims to integrate advances in genomic sciences into healthcare for the benefit of general population. As many countries, there are various research initiatives this field Italy, but a clear picture national portfolio has never been sketched. Thus, we aimed provide an overview current PHG projects at or international level by consultation with Italian institutional and academic experts. We included 68 projects: majority were which researchers participated ( n =...
Background/Objectives: Hand hygiene (HH) is pivotal in mitigating infectious disease transmission and enhancing public health outcomes. This study focuses on detailing the national surveillance system for alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) consumption healthcare facilities across Italy, presenting results from a comprehensive three-year evaluation period, 2020 to 2022. It aims delineate this report ABHR trends various Regions/Autonomous Provinces (Rs/APs). Methods: data, collected through Italian...
In the WHO European Region, endemic transmission of measles and rubella had been interrupted by 37 42 53 member states (MSs), respectively, 2018. Sixteen MSs are still for measles, 11 nine both diseases, latter including Italy. Elimination is documented each country's National Verification Committee (NVC) through an annual status update (ASU).By analysing data used to produce ASUs, we aimed describe advances made Italy towards elimination rubella. Moreover, propose a set major interventions...
The adoption of digital contact-tracing apps to limit the spread SARS-CoV-2 has been sup-optimal, but studies that clearly identify factors associated with app uptake are still limited. In April 2021, we administered a questionnaire healthcare university students investigate their attitudes towards and experiences IMMUNI app. A multivariable logistic regression model was built download predictors. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. We surveyed 247...
