IMPORTANCECancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide.Current estimates cancer burden in individual countries and regions are necessary to inform local control strategies.OBJECTIVE To estimate mortality, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), life lost (YLLs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 28 cancers 188 by sex from 1990 2013. EVIDENCE REVIEWThe general methodology Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2013 study was used.Cancer registries were source incidence data as...
The burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising globally, with substantial variation in levels and trends different countries regions. Understanding these geographical differences crucial for formulating effective strategies preventing treating IBD. We report the prevalence, mortality, overall IBD 195 territories between 1990 2017, based on data from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017.We modelled mortality due to using a standard Cause Death Ensemble...
There has been intense discussion on the effectiveness of continuous antibiotic prophylaxis for children with vesicoureteral reflux, and randomized, controlled trials are still needed to determine long-term antibiotics prevention acute pyelonephritis. In this multicenter, open-label, trial, we tested in preventing recurrence pyelonephritis avoiding new scars a sample who were younger than 30 months reflux.One hundred patients reflux (grade II, III, or IV) diagnosed cystourethrography after...
Understanding causes and correlates of health loss among children adolescents can identify areas success, stagnation, emerging threats thereby facilitate effective improvement strategies.To estimate mortality morbidity in from 1990 to 2017 by age sex 195 countries territories.This study examined levels, trends, spatiotemporal patterns cause-specific nonfatal outcomes using standardized approaches data processing statistical analysis. It also describes epidemiologic transitions evaluating...
Abstract Background It is crucial to identify in large population samples the most important determinants of excessive fetal growth. The aim study was evaluate independent role pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain and diabetes on risk macrosomia. Methods A prospective collected data mode delivery maternal/neonatal outcomes eleven Hospitals Italy. Multiple pregnancies preterm deliveries were excluded. sample included 14109 women with complete records. Associations...
Mental health is a public issue for European young people, with great heterogeneity in resource allocation. Representative population-based studies are needed. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 provides internationally comparable information on trends the status populations and changes leading causes disease burden over time.
Accurate, comprehensive, cause-specific mortality estimates are crucial for informing public health decision making worldwide. Incorrectly or vaguely assigned deaths, defined as garbage-coded mask the true cause distribution. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study has developed methods to create comparable, timely, estimates; an impactful data processing method is reallocation deaths a plausible underlying death. We identify pattern in world and present used determine their redistribution...
Disability and mortality burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have risen worldwide; however, the NCD among adolescents remains poorly described in EU.Estimates were retrieved from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. Causes NCDs analysed at three different levels GBD 2019 hierarchy, for which mortality, years life lost (YLLs), lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) extracted. Estimates, 95% uncertainty intervals (UI), EU Member...
Background The relative role of socioeconomic status (SES), home environment and maternal intelligence, as factors affecting child cognitive development in early childhood is still unclear. aim this study to analyze the association SES, IQ with neurodevelopment at 18 months. Methods data were collected prospectively PHIME study, a newborn cohort carried out Italy between 2007 2010. Maternal nonverbal abilities (IQ) evaluated using Standard Progressive Matrices, version Raven's Matrices;...
Rhythm organizes events in time and plays a major role music, but also the phonology prosody of language. Interestingly, children with developmental dyslexia-a learning disability that affects reading acquisition despite normal intelligence adequate education-have poor rhythmic perception. It has been suggested an accurate perception rhythmical/metrical structure, requires rise time, may be critical for phonological development subsequent literacy. This hypothesis is mostly based on results...
Despite being quite frequent and having serious implications in terms of symptomatology fertility, data on incidence prevalence endometriosis adenomyosis following gold standard definitions are dramatically lacking. The average time from onset symptoms to diagnosis industrialized countries still ranges five ten years. Using the regional centralized linkage system, we calculated female population Friuli Venezia Giulia region, Italy, for years 2011–2013. Cases were defined as new diagnoses...
Abstract Objectives To demonstrate the efficacy of laser photobiomodulation (PBM) compared to that placebo on severe oral mucositis (OM) in pediatric oncology patients. The primary objective was reduction OM grade (World Health Organization [WHO] scale) 7 days after starting PBM. Secondary objectives were pain, analgesic consumption, and incidence side effects. Methods One hundred one children with WHO > 2 chemotherapy‐induced enrolled eight Italian hospitals. Patients randomized either...
Through a comprehensive analysis of Italy's estimates from the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017, we aimed to understand patterns health loss response health-care system, offer evidence-based policy indications in light demographic transition government spending country.
