[Differences between Italians and immigrants in COVID-19 vaccination coverage in the Reggio Emilia resident population (Emilia-Romagna Region, Northern Italy)].

The present work describes the cumulative coverage curves by country of birth, sex, age, and area of residence of the adult population residing in the province of Reggio Emilia (Emilia-Romagna Region, Northern Italy).The analyses are stratified by country of birth into HDC (Highly Developed Country), mostly Italians, and HMPC (Highly Migration Pressure Country), as a proxy of migrant status, excluding deaths. Vaccinations carried out up to September 2022 and recorded in the information system were considered, including vaccinations performed outside the province.

Effect of an enhanced public health contact tracing intervention on the secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in educational settings: The four-way decomposition analysis.

Background: The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that the community contact tracing strategy of testing contacts in households immediately instead of at the end of quarantine had an impact on the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in schools in Reggio Emilia Province.

Methods: We analysed surveillance data on notification of COVID-19 cases in schools between 1 September 2020 and 4 April 2021. We have applied a mediation analysis that allows for interaction between the intervention (before/after period) and the mediator.

Implementation Strategies for Baby NINJA (Nephrotoxic Injury Negated by Just-in-Time Action) to Prevent Neonatal Medication-Induced Kidney Injury.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication among patients admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Nephrotoxic medications (NTMs) are known to increase the incidence of AKI, but the use of these -medications is often unavoidable. Baby NINJA (Nephrotoxic Injury Negated by Just-in-Time Action) is a -quality improvement (QI) project that may be implemented at individual institutions and aims to systematically identify AKI in neonates and infants receiving NTMs.

SARS-CoV-2 transmission patterns in educational settings during the Alpha wave in Reggio-Emilia, Italy.

Different monitoring and control policies have been implemented in schools to minimize the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Transmission in schools has been hard to quantify due to the large proportion of asymptomatic carriers in young individuals. We applied a Bayesian approach to reconstruct the transmission chains between 284 SARS-CoV-2 infections ascertained during 87 school outbreak investigations conducted between March and April 2021 in Italy.

Children's Oncology Group's 2023 blueprint for research: Pharmacy.

Children's Oncology Group (COG) pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from more than 200 COG-member institutions comprise the COG Pharmacy Discipline. Discipline members serve an essential role in the design and execution of COG clinical trials. Core activities include study drug management, study drug access, clinical trial operations, protocol harmonization, and direct patient care.
