Mortality from chronic liver diseases (CLDs) is increased in diabetes, but little known about the etiology. The aim of this study was to assess mortality rates CLD by etiology diabetic subjects living Veneto Region, Northern Italy.A total 167,621 subjects, aged 30-89 years (54.6% men), were identified year 2007 and their vital status assessed between 2008 2010. Standardized ratios (SMR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) computed regional as reference. underlying cause death all...

BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic has strikingly high mortality rate with hypercoagulability state being part of the imputed mechanisms. We aimed to compare rates in hospital propensity score matched cohorts COVID-19 patients chronic anticoagulation versus those that were not.MethodsIn this population-based study Veneto Region, we retrospectively reviewed all aged 65 years or older, a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis. compared, after matching, who received for...

COPD is among the major causes of death, and it associated with several comorbid conditions. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently diagnosed in older people living Western societies could impact patients' mortality. We evaluated relationship between burden comorbidities, CKD, mortality a population-based cohort patients discharged diagnosis COPD.A longitudinal study was conducted evaluating 27,272 patients. Recruitment subjects identification CKD other comorbidities summarized by Charlson...

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with keratoconus (KCN) and to evaluate association between severity KCN OSA. Methods: OSA was diagnosed an overnight home test. As estimated by monitoring, apnea–hypopnea index threshold ≥5 sleep-related breathing events per hour considered suggestive For grading (Amsler–Krumeich classification), slit-lamp biomicroscopy, corneal topography, pachymetry measurements were performed. Preoperative included analysis...

Background: DOACs are characterized by a higher incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding and this may be different among males females. Female patients were underrepresented in the DOAC pivotal trials. We aimed to assess real-world differences with oral anticoagulants (DOACs VKAs) females atrial fibrillation. Methods: performed population-based retrospective analysis on linked administrative claims. Atrial fibrillation 65 years above considered. Bleeding risk factors assessed through HASBED...

Early treatment of acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections reflects a new clinical paradigm and significant option to reduce the socioeconomic burden HCV. Therefore, this approach seems suitable as strategy face HCV prevent end stage liver diseases premature deaths due progressed chronic HCV-infections. The main limitation is that majority show an asymptomatic course do thus not present health-care settings. Screening for has already been extensively studied in literature. This paper offers...

There is growing interest on the potential relationship between hospital volume (HV) and outcomes as it might justify centralization of care for rectal cancer surgery. From National Italian Hospital Discharge Dataset, data 75,280 patients who underwent elective major surgery 2002 2014 were retrieved analyzed. HV was grouped into tertiles: low-volume performed 1-12, while high-volume hospitals 33+ procedures/year. The impact in-hospital mortality, abdominoperineal resection (APR), 30-day...

Background: Recurrent keratoconus (RKC) develops as a progressive thinning of the peripheral and inferior cornea after keratoplasty, in both graft host, causing secondary astigmatism, refractive instability, reduced visual acuity. We evaluated effectiveness corneal cross-linking (CXL) patients diagnosed with RKC. Methods: Accelerated-CXL via epi-off technique was performed in15 (18 eyes) Topographic biomechanical changes were assessed at 12 months. Results: Differences maximum keratometry,...

A high hospital utilisation at the end of life (EOL) is an indicator suboptimal quality health care. We evaluated impact intensity different Integrated Cancer Palliative Care (ICPC) plans on EOL acute medical hospitalisation among cancer decedents. Decedents aged 18-84 years, who were residents in two Italian regions, investigated through integrated administrative data. Outcomes considered prolonged stay for reasons, 2+ hospitalisations during last month and death. The ICPC instituted 90 to...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs based on the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) were found to reduce overall CRC surgery rates, but authors' knowledge data by subsite are lacking. The objective of current study was assess impact FIT-based proximal and distal surgical resection rates.The Veneto region in Italy can be subdivided into 3 areas with staggered introduction programs: early (2002-2004), intermediate (2005-2007), late (2008-2009) areas.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, excess mortality has been reported worldwide, but its magnitude varied depending on methodological differences that hinder between-study comparability. Our aim was to estimate variability attributable different methods, focusing specific causes of death with pre-pandemic trends. Monthly figures observed in 2020 Veneto Region (Italy) were compared those forecasted using: (1) 2018-2019 monthly average number deaths; (2) 2015-2019 age-standardized rates; (3)...
