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:...
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a frequent disorder of childhood, caused mainly by Gram negative Enterobacterales. The aim this study to evaluate etiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns bacterial isolates in urine cultures children under the age 6 analyze relationship between previous hospitalization or antibiotic prescriptions resistance rates.A retrospective on positive from 13 public laboratories Tuscany, Italy was conducted. Data were obtained reviewing records...
Infections associated with orthopaedic implants represent a major health concern characterized by remarkable incidence of morbidity and mortality. The wide variety clinical scenarios encountered in the heterogeneous world infections makes implementation an optimal standardized antimicrobial treatment challenging. Antibiotic bone penetration, anti-biofilm activity, long-term safety, drug choice/dosage regimens favouring outpatient management (i.e., long-acting or oral agents) play role...
Background Cancer, chronic heart failure (CHF), and obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the advanced stages have similar symptom burdens survival rates. Despite these similarities, majority of attention directed to improving quality end-of-life (EOL) care has focused on cancer. Aim To assess extent which EOL received by cancer, CHF, COPD patients last month life is diagnosis-sensitive. Methods This a retrospective observational study based administrative data. The population includes all...
To evaluate the indirect effect of COVID-19 large-scale containment measures on incidence community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in older people during first epidemic wave Tuscany, Italy.A population-based study was carried out data from Tuscany healthcare system. The outcome were: hospitalization rate for CAP, severity CAP hospitalizations, and outpatient consumption antibacterials aged 65 older. Outcomes were compared between corresponding periods 2020 (week 1 to 27) previous years.Compared...
Utilization of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) declined during COVID-19 pandemic, but most the studies analyzed components EMS system individually. The study aimed to evaluate indirect impact pandemic on utilization all Tuscany Region (Italy) first wave.Administrative data from health care were used. Changes in for out-of-hospital emergency calls and vehicle dispatched, department (ED) visits, patients being admitted ED an inpatient hospital bed (hospitalizations ED) wave relation with...
Abstract Background Despite the increasing interest in transgender health research, to date little is known about size of and gender diverse (TGD) population. Methods A web-based questionnaire survey was developed, including a collection socio-demographic characteristics disseminated online through social media. Gender incongruence evaluated by using 2-item approach assessing recorded at birth identity. The primary objective present population-based study estimate proportion TGD people...
Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is a vaccine-preventable characterized by the presence of Streptococcus pneumoniae in normally sterile sites. Since 2007, Italy has implemented an IPD national surveillance system (IPD-NSS). This suffers from high rates underreporting. To estimate level underreporting 2016–2017 Tuscany (Italy), we integrated data IPD-NSS and two other regional sources, i.e., microbiological (Microbiological Surveillance Antibiotic Resistance Tuscany, SMART) hospitalization...

Adverse events (AEs) are a major concern in surgery, but the evidence cardiac surgery is limited, especially on contributory factors. According to data of National Outcomes Program, unit was selected conduct mixed methods investigation into incidence, type, and cause AE, given its mortality rate that double national average coronary artery bypass grafting, valve reparation, replacement.A retrospective performance combining routinely collected process outcome measures with 2-stage structured...
Introduction General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in supporting transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals by providing healthcare, information, referrals. However, major challenge arises from the insufficient training of healthcare professionals TGD healthcare. The lack research on needs GPs this area further exacerbates issue. To address gap, we conducted national survey aimed at Italian to assess their knowledge attitudes toward health individuals.

Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat caused by the rapid spread of multiresistant microorganisms. stewardship (AS) coordinated intervention designed to improve appropriate use antimicrobials promoting selection optimal drug regimen, dose, duration therapy and route administration. AS programs have proved effective in reducing antimicrobial resistance, inappropriate improving patient outcomes. Recently developed diagnostic technologies microbiology (RDTM) allows faster etiological...
Automated tools for antimicrobial resistance surveillance are critical improving detection of drug-resistant organisms and informing prevention control interventions. In this study, the WHONET-SaTScan software was used at a multihospital level in Tuscany, Italy, to identify case clusters consistent with hospital outbreaks caused by pathogens.Antimicrobial data from all Tuscany hospitals between January 2018 December 2020 were analyzed using WHONET. The SaTScan package detect applying...
