Aim of this study was to compare cancer incidence in populations with and without diabetes by site. Furthermore, we aimed at comparing excess risk according type, duration treatment, the latter as regards Type 2 diabetes.By use Reggio Emilia registry classified resident population aged 20-84 December 31st 2009 into two groups: diabetes. By linking calculated 2010-2013 both groups. The rate ratios (IRR) site, type diabetes, duration, concerns treatment regimen were computed using Poisson...
•Italy will have 4 million cancer survivors in 2030 (6.9% of the population), half diagnosed at least 10 years earlier.•From 2018 to 2030, complete prevalence increase by 1.5% per year.•As many as 7 out 8 prevalent cases same life expectancy general population.•Ten after diagnosis, 96% not die from cancer.•Prevalence estimates are essential improve consistent, data-driven control planning. BackgroundThe number and projections necessary meet healthcare needs patients, while data on cure...
The aim of the study is to assess sex difference in association between type 2 diabetes and incidence major cardiovascular events, that is, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, using information retrieved by register. inhabitants Reggio Emilia (Italy) aged 30–84 were followed during 2012–2014. Incidence rate ratios 95% confidence intervals calculated multivariate Poisson model. age- sex-specific event rates graphed. Subjects with had an excess risk compared their counterparts...
The objective of this study is to assess the impact diabetes on cardiovascular mortality, focusing sex differences. inhabitants Reggio Emilia province December 31, 2009, aged 20–84 were followed up for three years mortality. exposure was determined using register. age-adjusted death rates estimated as well incidence rate ratios Poisson regression model. Interaction terms and tested by Wald test. People with had an excess compared nondiabetic subjects (all cause: IRR = 1.68; 95%CI 1.60–1.78;...
To describe the procedures to derive complete prevalence and several indicators of cancer cure from population-based registries. Cancer registry data (47% Italian population) were used calculate limited duration for 62 types by sex registry. The incidence survival models, needed completeness index (R) prevalence, evaluated likelihood ratio tests visual comparison. A sensitivity analysis was conducted explore effect on using different R indexes. Mixture models estimate net (NS); life...
Abstract People alive many years after breast (BC) or colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnoses are increasing. This paper aimed to estimate the indicators of cure and complete prevalence for Italian patients with BC CRC by stage age. A total 31 Cancer Registries (47% population) data until 2017 were included. Mixture models allowed estimation net survival (NS); fraction (CF); time (TTC, 5‐year conditional NS >95%); (who will not die cancer); already cured (prevalent living longer than TTC). 2.6%...
Abstract This study aims to estimate long-term survival, cancer prevalence, and several cure indicators for Italian women with gynecological cancers. Thirty-one registries, representing 47% of the female population, were included. Mixture models used net fraction, time (when 5-year conditional survival becomes > 95%), prevalence (women who will not die cancer), already cured (living longer than cure). In 2018, 0.4% (121 704) alive after diagnosis corpus uteri cancer, 0.2% (52 551)...
The diabetes prevalence increases at an alarming rate around the world and understanding disparities in occurrence, care management, health outcomes may be a starting point towards achieving more effective strategies to prevent manage it. aims of this study are compare immigrants Italians terms differences evaluate inequalities disease management glycaemic control by using information included Reggio Emilia register. We retrieved from register subjects aged 20–74 on December 31st, 2009....
Background/Objectives: The increasing incidence of cancer during pregnancy is a growing public health concern, driven by delayed parenthood and rising maternal age. Pregnancy-associated (PAC) presents complex clinical challenges, necessitating balance between treatment fetal safety. Historically considered incompatible with favorable outcomes, evidence now suggests that can often proceed without affecting prognosis. A 2022 study in Italy provided the first population-based PAC estimates...
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...
(1) Objective: In many Western countries, survival from vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) has been stagnating for decades or increased insufficiently a clinical perspective. Italy, previous studies on cancer have not taken into consideration pooled patients with and vaginal cancer. To bridge this knowledge gap, we report the trend in between 1990 2015. (2) Methods: Thirty-eight local registries covering 49% of national female population contributed records 6274 patients. Study endpoints...
Objective: To evaluate short-term (2008–2017) cancer incidence trends in Italy for individuals aged 20-49 years by sex and type. Methods: Observational study from population-based data collected 20 Italian Cancer Registries, covering 33% of the population. The age-standardized rates (ASRs), overall stratified area, sex, site or type, major age groups (i.e., 20-39, 40-49), were computed. Results: In 2008-2017, almost two times higher women than age-corresponding men (202.2 vs 112.4 per...
To assess the effect of insulin on cancer incidence in type 1 (T1DM) and 2 diabetes (T2DM).The cohort included all 401,172 resident population aged 20-84 December 2009 still alive 2011, classified for DM status. Drug exposure was assessed 2009-2011 follow up conducted from 2012 to 2016 through registry. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were computed sites most frequent sites.among residents, 21,190 people had diabetes, 2282 whom taking insulin; 1689 cancers occurred, 180 among users. The risk...
