Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc
February 2024
Università di Bologna, Clinica Ortopedica e Traumatologica, Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Bologna, Italy.
Purpose: This study aimed to formulate evidence-based recommendations for optimising wound management in hip and knee arthroplasty by exploring alternative methods such as barbed sutures and skin adhesives.
Methods: A Delphi panel, comprising seven orthopaedic surgeons, one musculoskeletal infectious disease specialist, and one health economics expert, was convened to evaluate the use of barbed sutures and skin adhesives for wound closure in hip and knee arthroplasty. Two systematic reviews informed the development of questionnaires, with panelists ranking their agreement on statements using a 5-point Likert scale.

Department of Public Health, Experimental and Forensic Medicine, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy.
Objective: To compare costs and effectiveness of elective open (OR) vs fenestrated/branched endovascular (ER) repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms (TAAAs) in a high-volume center.
Methods: This single-center retrospective observational study (PRO-ENDO TAAA Study, NCT05266781) was designed as part of a larger health technology assessment analysis. All electively treated TAAAs between 2013 and 2021 were analyzed and propensity-matched.
Advanced Medical Devices for Preparation and Administration of Chemotherapeutic Agents: Results from a Multi-Dimensional Evaluation.
Clinicoecon Outcomes Res
December 2020
Carlo Cattaneo - LIUC University and LIUC Business School, Castellanza, Italy.
Purpose: To evaluate the incremental benefits concerning the implementation of closed-system medical devices for the preparation and administration of chemotherapy agents (integrated or not with traceable workflow), within an Italian clinical practice, in which the use of such technologies is not standardized.
Methodology: Four Scenarios, implying different levels of technologies introduction, were analyzed, based on the presence and/or absence of closed systems and traceable workflow, in the preparation and in the administration phase. A literature review was conducted, in order to retrieve efficacy and safety measures.
