Objectives: to assess the extent of the excess mortality from all causes in 2020 compared to 2015-2019 in Central Tuscany (Italy) as a proxy to estimate COVID-19-related excess mortality and to identify demographic and clinical differences between subjects who died from COVID-19 and those who died from other causes in 2020.
Design: descriptive analysis of the temporal trend of general mortality.
Setting And Participants: the study population is represented by the 1.
Background: occupational injuries in Italy are registered primarily by the Italian National Institute for insurance against accidents at work (Inail); its statistics show the number of events by consequence type (temporary, permanent, fatal). Data prior to 2001 include fatalities only if benefits were paid to survivors entitled to compensation, typically spouse and/or children.
Objectives: to estimate the number of fatal injuries occurred to workers without survivors entitled to compensation, not considered in INAIL statistics for the period 1951-2000; to evaluate years lived with disability (YLD) years of life lost (YLL), disability-adjusted life years (DALY) caused by all occupational injuries occurred in Italy, period 1951-2016.
Aims: The short version of the Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) has 33 items of Likert type whose answers vary from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree), and is used to assess the grief after perinatal loss and to identify women at major need of specific support. This is the first attempt to validate an Italian version of PGS.
Materials And Methods: The English version of PGS by Potvin et al.
Objective: To assess current practices of health care providers (HCPs) caring for women experiencing a stillbirth and to explore their needs for training to better support bereaved families.
Design: Nationwide cross-sectional survey. The main outcome measures were the evaluation of HCPs cognition, emotions and behaviours with regard to the care of women with a stillbirth care, as well as their compliance with international guidelines.
Background: The median age of the workforce, and of healthcare workers in particular, is increasing, resulting in a reduced work capacity. This may prompt the occupational physician to issue fitness for work limitations.
Objectives: To examine the health surveillance data collected over 20 years on the employees of a large healthcare institution to identify the effects of the limitations imposed on their career paths.
Objectives: to describe how journalists report events such as fatal accidents work through the newspapers.
Design: analysis of the textual content of titles and texts, using qualitative and quantitative techniques.
Setting And Participants: 184 articles related to 180 work-related fatalities occurred in Tuscany Region (Central Italy) in the period 2008-2009 were examined.
