Background: The paper aims to describe the 3-year incidence (2015/17) of aggressive acts against all healthcare workers to identify risk factors associated to violence among a variety of demographic and professional determinants of assaulted, and risk factors related to the circumstances surrounding these events.
Methods: A retrospective observational study of all 10,970 health workers in a large-sized Italian university hospital was performed. The data, obtained from the "Aggression Reporting Form", which must be completed by assaulted workers within 72 h of aggression, were collected for the following domains: worker assaulted (sex, age class, years worked); profession (nurses, medical doctors, non-medical support staff, administrative staff, midwives); aggressive acts (activity type during aggressive acts, season, time and location of aggressive acts); and type of aggressive acts (verbal, non-verbal, consequences, aggressors).
Objectives: To analyse the trends of amenable mortality rates (AMRs) in children over the period 2001-2015.
Design: Time trend analysis.
Setting: Thirty-four member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
In Italy, the Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority (Autorità Nazionale Anti-corruzione-ANAC) has developed a questionnaire to assess the organizational well-being of employees within public agencies. The study aimed to explore the relationship among variables in the ANAC questionnaire: Several job resources (lack of discrimination, fairness, career and professional development, job autonomy, and organizational goals' sharing) and outcomes of well-being at work, such as health and safety at work and sense of belonging. The research was carried out among workers in an Italian hospital in Northwest Italy ( = 1170), through an online self-report questionnaire.

Methods: A pooled, cross-sectional, time series analysis was used to evaluate secondary data from 17 European countries in 2004-2014.
Results: The results show that the mammographic screening trend decreases after an initial increase (coefficient for the linear term = 0.
Objective: To analyse the trajectories of hip-fracture surgery rates within 2 days of admission to the hospital and the ratios of procedures initiated within the same day (Day 0) and the following day (Days 0-1) to procedures performed on the 2nd day. To study the association between socioeconomic, health input variables and early surgery.
Design: A pooled, cross-sectional, time-series analysis was used to evaluate secondary data from 15 European countries, during 2000-13.

Background: This study analyzes the trajectories of antibiotic consumption using different indicators of patients' socioeconomic status, category and age-group of physicians.
Methods: This study uses a pooled, cross-sectional, time series analysis. The data focus on 22 European countries from 2000 to 2014 and were obtained from the European Center for Disease and Control, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, Eurostat and Global Economic Monitor.
Objectives: To analyze trajectories of cataract surgery rates and to confirm the switch between inpatient cases and day surgery or outpatient cases.
Design: Pooled, cross-sectional, time series analysis.
Methods: Data on 20 European countries from 2004 to 2014 retrieved from the OECD.
Purpose: Medication discrepancies are defined as unexplained differences among regimens across different sites of care. The problem of medication discrepancies that occur during the entire care pathway from hospital admission to a local care setting discharge (namely all types of settings dedicated to formal care other than hospitals) has received little attention in the medical literature. The present study aims to (1) determine the prevalence of medication discrepancies that occur during the entire care pathway from hospital admission to local care setting discharge, (2) describe the discrepancy and medication type, and (3) identify potential risk factors for experiencing medication discrepancies in patient care transitions.

Methods: This study used a pooled, cross-sectional, time series design focusing on 28 European countries from 2004 to 2015. The indicators considered are: population aged 65 years and older; self-perceived health (bad and very bad) and long-standing limitations in usual activities; social protection benefits (cash and kind); LTC beds in institutions; LTC recipients at home and in institutions; healthcare expenditures and were obtained from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and Eurostat.
