<h3>Objective</h3> Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes based on the guaiac faecal occult blood test (gFOBT) reduce CRC-specific mortality. Several studies have shown higher sensitivity with immunochemical (FIT) compared gFOBT. We carried out an ecological study to evaluate impact of FIT-based CRC <h3>Design</h3> In Veneto Region (Italy), biennial that invited 50–69-year-old residents were introduced in different areas between 2002 and 2009. mortality rates from 1995 2011 where...
Background Myocarditis and pericarditis following the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines administration have been reported, but their frequency is still uncertain in younger population. This study investigated association between Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines, BNT162b2, mRNA-1273 myocarditis/pericarditis population of vaccinated persons aged 12 to 39 years Italy. Methods findings We conducted a self-controlled case series (SCCS) using national data...
The epidemic due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been spreading globally, raising increasing concerns. There are several controversial hypotheses on the potentially harmful or beneficial effects of antihypertensive drugs acting renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) in disease 2019 (COVID-19). Furthermore, there is accumulating evidence, based observational studies, that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin...
It is not clear whether environmental exposure to dioxin affects the general population. The aim of this research evaluate sarcoma risk in relation pollution caused by emitted waste incinerators and industrial sources airborne dioxin. study population lives a part Province Venice (Italy), where population-based cancer registry (Veneto Tumour Registry – RTV) has been active since 1987. Two hundred five cases visceral extravisceral sarcoma, confirmed microscopic examination, diagnosed from...
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs based on fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) generate substantial pressure colonoscopy capacity in Europe. Thus, a relevant proportion of FIT-positive patients undergo after the recommended 30-day interval, which may be associated with an excess CRC risk. Methods In cohort 50–69-year-old undergoing biennial rounds FIT (OC-Hemodia latex agglutination test; cutoff 20 µg hemoglobin/g feces) between 2004 and 2017, we assessed outcome at...
Background Recently published studies have reported association of COVID-19 vaccine ChAdOx1-S (Vaxzevria) with Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS). Less is known about the safety other vaccines respect to GBS outcome. This study investigated in more than 15 million persons aged ≥12 years Italy. Methods Study population was all individuals who received at least one dose vaccines, admitted emergency care/hospital for from 27 December 2020–30 September 2021 Identification cases and receipt mRNA-1273...
To evaluate the impact of faecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening on stage distribution at diagnosis, and to estimate relative incidence rates by in screened first subsequent rounds vs. unscreened. We included all incident cases occurring 2000-2008 50- 71-year-olds residing areas with an FIT-screening programme. Multinomial logistic models were computed risk ratio (RRR) stages I IV, compared II + III, adjusting for age, sex, geographical area, year. Proportions then used rate ratios (IRR)...
Aim To present data on cancer prevalence for the areas covered by Italian registries, using a standardized set of collection and elaboration criteria, single method analysis. Subjects Methods Data over 250,000 patients with cancer, diagnosed between 1978 1992, from 11 registries covering about 12% population were collected, validated analyzed according to unified protocol ITAPREVAL project. The implemented in PREVAL computer program was used provide estimates period registration. total each...
To evaluate the trends of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates from 2003 to 2014 in Italy by age groups regions.We used data 48 registries 17 Italian regions estimate standardized overall sex, (<50, 50-69, 70+ years), geographic area (northwest, northeast, center, south, islands). Time were expressed as annual percent change (APC) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Incidence decreased 104.3 (2003) 89.9 × 100,000 (2014) men 64.3 58.4 women. Among men, during 2007-2010...
To evaluate short-term (2003-2014) cancer incidence and mortality trends in Italy.Italian Cancer Registries data, available the AIRTUM database, from 17 out of 20 regions were used. The number incident cases deaths estimated for those registries years with incomplete information. Age-standardized rates, overall stratified by geographic area, region, sex, site, major age group, computed. Time expressed as annual percent change rates.In Italy, among males, rates all cancers showed during...
Abstract Objectives To investigate the association between SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, myocarditis/pericarditis. Design Self-Controlled Case Series study (SCCS) using national data on COVID-19 vaccination emergency care/hospital admissions. Setting Italian Regions (Lombardia, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto, Lazio). Participants 2,861,809 individuals, aged 12-39 years, vaccinated with first doses of vaccines (2,405,759 456,050 mRNA-1273) 27 December 2020 30 September...
Previous studies associated high-level exposure to ultraviolet radiation with a greater risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). This study focuses on the changing incidence CMM over time (from 1990 2017) in Veneto region Northeast Italy, and its Alpine area (the province Belluno). The clinicopathological profile by residence is also considered. A joinpoint regression analysis was performed identify significant changes yearly sex age. For each trend, average annual percent change (AAPC)...
Aims and Background To describe the cancer prevalence in elderly Italian people analyze differences, if any, with among younger subjects. Methods & Study Design The patients (65 years over), three age classes encompassing (65-74 years, 75-84 85 over) (0-64 years) was computed using PREVAL method on basis of incident cases over period 1976-1992 followed up to 31 December 1992 (prevalence reference date). Data were collected by 11 registries. Results observed figures for all cancers...
Background This observational study considers the sex-specific incidence of most incident cancers as recorded in population-based Veneto Regional Cancer Registry over a period more than 30 years (1987-2019). Methods The collected data for time interval 1987–2019. Significant changes trends calculated on age-standardized rates (Annual Percent Change—APC) were identified by join point regression analysis. Results Overall, trend all decreased males and remained stable females. In nine cancer...
