Article Synopsis
  • Patients with interstitial lung diseases, like asbestosis, experienced higher COVID-19 severity, particularly in Italy, which had a significant number of asbestos-related diseases and high COVID-19 mortality rates in 2020.
  • A study analyzed death certificates from 2010-2020, revealing a decrease in deaths from malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and asbestosis for those under 80, but an increase in mortality for older adults (≥80), indicating a potential link to COVID-19.
  • Findings showed that individuals aged ≥80 with COVID-19 were less likely to have MPM, while hospitalization rates for asbestosis dropped in 2020 compared

Space-time analysis of mortality risk is useful to evaluate the epidemiologic transitions at the subnational level. In our study, we analysed the death certificate records for lung cancer in Italy in 1995-2016, obtained from the Italian National Institute of Statistics. Our objective was to investigate the spatial-temporal evolution of lung cancer mortality by sex and province of residence (n = 107) using the birth cohort as relevant time axis.
