REPORT 2014
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
The main objectives of public health and of the department are to understand the underlying health
factors of individuals and populations and to define efficient interventions to address health needs.
Special emphasis is therefore placed on prevention, so that the risks of contracting illness are
lowered, and on the dissemination of independent, evidence-based information. The department’s
effort cannot disregard the National Health System, however, which must guarantee access to, and
quality of, care that is based on principles of equity and appropriateness and must guarantee it
especially to the more vulnerable patient groups. It is in this context that the Public Health
Department carries out its activities.
The Public Health Department is made up of:
 the Laboratory for Mother and Child Health, which is aimed at improving the overall
welfare of mothers and children from birth and throughout development;
 the Centre for Health Economics (CESAV), which analyses the costs and benefits of
interventions within the health system;
 the Laboratory of Clinical Epidemiology which operates mainly in intensive care and rare
diseases.
 the Laboratory of Medical Research and Consumer Involvement, aimed primarily at
increasing patients' and citizens' involvement in health-related decisions.
In addition to its formal research activity, the department participates in, and organises, initiatives
involving information dissemination, training, and debate aimed at healthcare professionals and
social care workers, but also at the general population. These activities are also supported by the
publication of the department’s two journals: Ricerca&Pratica and Quaderni di Farmaco Economia,
and by the development of the @Partecipasalute website (www.partecipasalute.it).

R&P was born in January 1985 as a feature of the Mario Negri Institute for
Pharmacological Research; today the journal is enhanced by the collaboration of the most
advanced Italian clinical research teams and of a group of independent national journals
that belong to the International Society of Drug Bulletins.

QdF, a quarterly journal published by CESAV on pharmacoeconomic information,
designed as a tool to favour a critical approach to the economical aspects of the
pharmaceutical sector among the NHS professionals, with particular reference to economic
evaluations and to drug policies at the national and international levels.

(www.partecipasalute.it) has an innovative twist in the Italian
research arena; the project site, compared to Italian health websites, uses ad hoc tools to
propose and promote the transfer of information in an active manner.
A total of 169 papers were published on peer reviewed scientific journals by the department’s staff during
2010-2014. The overall impact factor of these papers was 643.349. The overall impact factor of the papers
published during 2014 was 114.174.

LABORATORY FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH
REPORT 2014
1.1 - INTRODUCTION
Research, as a multidimensional approach to producing knowledge, characterises the laboratory’s activity.
Research provides the basis for planning and carrying out the laboratory’s activity in a critical way and involves the
participation of health professionals, social workers, mothers, children, and parents.
Special attention is given to activities involving countries in the north and south of the world.
The main objective of the Laboratory for Mother and Child Health is to ensure a better mother and child well-being by
undertaking interdisciplinary and collaborative work in the field.
Four broad areas, or spheres, of research have been selected:




monitoring and epidemiological evaluation of utilisation and effects of drugs and vaccines;
research methodology in general hospital and paediatric community practice;
public health determinants of children’s well-being;
transfer of health information to the community.
Each initiative is aimed at developing greater equity and appropriateness of care.

1.4.1 – PHARMACOEPIDEMIOLOGY IN THE LOMBARDY REGION
The Laboratory for Mother and Child Health is involved in the analysis of the drug prescription profile in children and
adolescents in the EPIFARM (Epidemiologia del farmaco) project funded by the Lombardy Region.
During 2014 the activities regarded, in particular, the following topics:
a. Comparison of recurrent prescriptions in children receiving generic or brand name antibiotics;
b. Health care resources consumption in immigrant and native Italian paediatric population;
c. Psychotropic drug prescription in Italian children: a multiregional study.
a.
Comparison of recurrent prescriptions in children receiving generic or brand name antibiotics
−
The aim of the study was to evaluate effectiveness and safety of paediatric generic antibiotic formations
compared to the brand name ones. The rate of antibiotic recurrent prescription (therapeutic failure issue) and
hospital admission (complication or severe adverse reaction issues) were compared in children and adolescents
who had been prescribed a generic of a brand name formulation of the same antibiotic.
Children receiving an antibiotic prescription (index prescription)
between February and April 2010 who did not receive any
prescription in the previous 28 days were identified through the
administrative database of reimbursed prescriptions of the
Lombardy region. A recurrent prescription was defined as a
prescription occurring within 28 days from the initial one which
was defined index prescription. It was evaluated if the child
required a new antibiotic course (recurrent prescription) or hospital
admission in the 28 days period following the index prescription.
The rates of recurrent prescription and hospital admission were
calculated for amoxicillin, amoxicillin clavulanate, clarithromycin,
and cefaclor, and stratified by age class. For these four active
substances a paediatric generic formulation was available from at
least 2 years.
The percentage of children and adolescents that received at least one recurrent prescription was 17.7%. The
rate of recurrent prescription was slightly lower in children receiving at least a generic formulation at the index
prescription (OR 0.96; 95% IC 0.93-0.98) compared to those receiving a brand name one. The percentage of
hospital admission was 1.01% (95% IC 0.98-1.08) in children receiving a brand name formulation, and 1.03%
(95% IC 0.96-1.06) without significant differences (p=0.43).
Children treated with a generic antibiotic did not show different outcome measures compared to those treated
with a brand name one. The results provide more evidence about the effectiveness and safety of generic
antibiotics.

b.
Health care resources consumption in immigrant and native Italian paediatric population
‒
The study compared the health care resources consumption (drug prescriptions, diagnostic exams, specialist
visits) in 12,287 children and adolescents less than 18 years old born in low-middle income country outside the
EU-27 and 24,574 Italian children, matched for age and physician.
In all, 4,673 immigrants (38%) e 11,723 natives (48%) received at least a drug prescription. The mean number
of prescriptions was respectively 3.2 (SD 5.4) in immigrants and 3.3 (SD 4.3) in natives (t=0.42; p=0.67).
Italian children and adolescents received more frequently anti-asthmatic and systemic steroid prescriptions. On
the contrary, the percentage of anthelmintic and antianemic drugs was two-fold higher in immigrant than in
Italian children.

REPORT 2014
−
The rate of hospital admission was comparable in the two groups (3.7 and 3.5%), however immigrant children
received less frequently diagnostic exam prescriptions (40 vs 53%) and specialist visits (49 vs 58%).
Differences in the prevalence of prescription among different geographical areas of origin have been observed,
with the lowest value observed in immigrants from East Asia (immigrants/Italians ratio 0.5).
c.
Psychotropic drug prescription in Italian children: a multiregional study
−
The 2006-2011 prescription trend of psychotropic drugs in the paediatric population was evaluated in seven
Italian region: Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Veneto, Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Abruzzo, Lazio e Puglia.
The source of data were the regional administrative prescription databases.
Prevalence and incidence rates by age and sex were calculated for any psychotropic drug, antidepressants,
antipsychotics, and ADHD medications.
In 2011 the prevalence was 1.76‰ ( 95% IC 1.72-1.80), ranging between 1.56 and 2.17‰ among regions. The
incidence of new psychotropic drug users was 1.03‰ (1.00-1.06). Antidepressants were the most prevalent
class (1.02‰), followed by antipsychotics (0.70‰) and ADHD medications (0.19‰). Prevalence rate
increased with age until 4.2‰ in the 12-17 years old age class. Males were more exposed than females (ratio =
1.23). Antipsychotics were mostly prescribed in males, and antidepressants in females.
In the 2006-2011 period the prevalence rate was stable (p=0.97).
The prevalence rate of psychotropic drugs in Italy in 2006-2011 did not change and was lower than what has
been observed at the international level.

1.4.2 –FP7 PROJECTS
a) TINN
The TINN project, Treat Infections in Neonates, is part of
the European Union’s Seventh Framework Project (GA223614 and is aimed at gathering the experience of
numerous centres across Europe in the neonatal research
field in order to produce detailed evidence on the safety and
efficacy of ciprofloxacin and fluconazole use in neonatal
sepsis. The project began in 2008 and has, as one of its
goals, the obtainment of a Paediatric Use Marketing
Authorization (PUMA).
A survey on the use of ciprofloxacin and fluconazole by neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in Europe was conducted
in the first phase of the project (2009/2010). In all, 200 NICUs participated, representing 32 countries, mainly Italy, the
UK, and France. The survey found great variability in therapeutic schemes and indications for use of the two drugs,
both between and within countries. Significant doubts on the part of clinicians concerning safety and efficacy issues
were also revealed, highlighting a need for additional evaluation and information on the optimal use of the drugs.
The TINN study was recently granted a two-year extension in order to conclude the ongoing clinical trials and will end
in 2015.

b) TINN2
The TINN2 (Treat Infections in Neonates 2) project began in January 2011 and
is a complementary part of the first TINN project. It is also part of the
European Union’s 7th Framework Programme (GA-260908). TINN2’s aim is
to study azithromycin, an antibiotic effective against Ureaplasma, for the
prevention of broncopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in neonates. One of the goals
of the project is to obtain the PUMA (Pediatric Use Marketing Authorization)
for the drug. Several studies show a relationship between Ureaplasma
colonization and BPD development in neonates.
Azithromycin is an antibiotic effective against this mycoplasma and studies conducted up to the present show
interesting results.
BPD is one of the European Medicines Agency’s selected therapeutic areas that need pharmacological assessments
specific to neonates.
As for the first TINN, the initial stage of the project included a European survey intended to define the use of this
antibiotic in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU), and to collect the opinion of senior neonatologists about its use in
the treatment of Ureaplasma infections. Over 800 NICUs, located in 28 different countries, were selected and contacted
and about 200 NICU completed the entire questionnaire. The results, published in the Scientific Reports journal, show
that there is still much uncertainty about the actual involvement of Ureaplasma in the development of BPD, that
azithromycin is not a drug of first choice for the treatment of BPD, and that there are still doubts about its safety and
efficacy in neonates.
The survey also allows the identification of the NICUs where the trial will be conducted.
The project is ongoing and is expected to end in 2015. However, to allow the clinical trials to be carried out, a request
for a project extension will be made to the EMA.

1.4.3 – THE LOMBARDY REGION’S ADHD REGISTER
The Lombardy Region’s ADHD Register was launched in June 2011 within the project called
“Sharing diagnostic-therapeutic approaches for ADHD in Lombardy” with the funding of the
Lombardy Region.
The project involves 18 referral Centres and the coordinator is the UONPIA (Child and
Adolescent Neuropsychiatric Unit) of the A.O. Spedali Civili of Brescia.
The project includes training initiatives for health care workers who provide assistance to ADHD patients and their
families, initiatives to increase information on ADHD, and a regional register of the ADHD cases.
The register was designed as a disease register and therefore collected information not only
on the patients diagnosed with ADHD under pharmacological treatment (as foreseen by the
national register), but also on all patients who visited the referral Centres for a suspected
ADHD.
The register then permits the:
 monitoring of diagnostic paths;
 defining of the prevalence of the disorder;
 monitoring of non pharmacological treatment programs as well;
 continuation of pharmacovigilance activity by extending the monitoring on the use
of the drugs other than atomoxetine and methylphenidate;
 quantifying the workload for the referral Centres.
At the end of 2014, 2.061 patients have been included in the register, 1.210 of whom had a
confirmed ADHD diagnosis, 631 were not diagnosed for ADHD, and 220 were still under
diagnostic evaluation. In the most cases patients were referred to the Centers by the school
(34%) or the parents (22%).
In all, 80% of the 1.210 patients with a confirmed ADHD diagnosis received a non pharmacological prescription, 3%
only a pharmacological one, 13% both the prescriptions, and the remaining patients are still awaiting for any therapy.
The most frequent comorbidities were learning disabilities (35%), sleep disorders (14%) and oppositional/defiant
disorder (13%).

1.4.5 – OTHER INTERVENTIONS/PRODUCTS
In addition to the formal research activities, the Laboratory promotes initiatives in the public health field, in particular
those involving mother and child health care.
The initiatives involve the participation in, and the organization of, educational, training, and informationdissemination activities.
The critical and active transfer of scientific knowledge is a continuous, daily stimulus to the laboratory’s activity.
a)
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ITALIAN NGO GROUP FOR THE CRC
The laboratory is part of the Working Group for the "Convention on the Rights of the
Child" (CRC) in Italy. On June 17, 2014 was released on the 7th up Reports on the
monitoring of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Italy, in the presence of the
Minister for Labour and Social Policy Giuliano Poletti and the Guarantor for the ' childhood
and adolescence, Vincenzo Spadafora.
The 87 associations Group CRC are turning to the representatives of the new government
and parliamentarians, as well as to local authorities hope that each institution may, within
its field of action, grasp the importance and urgency of the critical issues raised and take
action to resolve them , taking charge of the recommendations contained in the Report.
With the publication of the 7th Report of the Group updated CRC continue the monitoring
of the implementation, in our country, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
(CRC) and its Optional Protocols, undertaken starting from processing 1st Supplementary
Report in 2001.
In over ten years of the CRC Group has published seven reports annual update and two
Supplementary Reports that were sent to the UN Committee to help with the Government
Report to the analysis of the implementation of the Convention in Italy.
The annual publication testifies to the perseverance and the commitment of the associations in ensuring a constant and
regular update on the implementation of the rights of children and adolescents in our country, even when the different
institutional levels are not always able to maintain the rights of ' childhood on the political agenda..

Providing information aimed at improving the general wellbeing of mothers and
children is one of the activities of the Mario Negri Institute’s Laboratory for Mother
and Child Health.
Over the years, several information cards have been created to answer the most
common or urgent questions asked by parents concerning their children’s health.
These cards are based on evidence of appropriateness and are aimed at managing or
preventing common childhood health-related problems. The material, produced in
collaboration with the Italian Associazione Culturale Pediatri, is based on the
abundant experiences of experts (and parents).
This “guide” is meant to be an essential, accurate, and effective information tool to
educate parents on the importance of implementing positive educational models for
health, which respect the rights of their children. The guide contains clear and useful
information aimed at reducing anxiety and limiting potential errors.
We hope that the “guide” may become an easy to read tool for parents and for all
those who care for children and young adolescents as they grow.

- CONGRESSES, SEMINARS, MEETINGS
During 2014 the laboratory organized one scientific congress and six seminars as thematic study meetings.
CONGRESS:
Outcome evaluation in clinical practice in complex situations
for treating and taking care of patients
Outcome evaluation for interventions for the individual, for
services, and for the community represents an inevitable theme for
contemporary clinical practice, especially in complex situations
such as those present in the daily practice of the child and
adolescent neuropsychiatric services (NPIA).
The contemporary presence of multiple clinical and psychosocial
components does not only lead to a “sum of the problems”, but
their non-linear interaction causes them to have exponential
positive and negative effects. The multidimensional aspect thus
becomes an essential element in the initial patient (and family)
evaluation in order to identify and decide on the most adequate
priorities and set up the interventions.
The multidimensional quality is also inevitable in the outcome
evaluation because of the presence of multiple subjects, healthcare
staff, and institutions, with different roles and responsibilities, each
of which contribute to defining the objectives and to the
achievement of the expected results. It is increasingly necessary to
make what is explicit implicit: to oneself, one’s colleagues, and to
patients/families. The afternoon work groups also have the roles
of: launching and maintaining a more thorough analysis and a true
comparison between services, of facilitating the introduction and
diffusion of sustainable strategies for improvement, of elaborating
proposals of the clinical-professional, managerial, and research
and experimental areas, and of laying the foundation of an
expanded network.
The aim of the meeting was to stimulate thoughts and a thorough discussion on the topic, and to guide participants
towards the building of a practice community that knows how to develop new solutions for treating and for taking care
of patients in order to achieve better outcomes. The meeting is part of the child neuropsychiatry’s “Migration and
psychiatric emergencies in adolescence” project, led by the UONPIA Fondazione Policlinico, carried out by ASL
Milano, and funded by the Lombardy Region with DGR 3798 del 08/05/2014.

e) RICERCA & PRATICA (R&P)
Ricerca & Pratica was born in January, 1985, as a manifestation of the “Mario Negri” Institute for Pharmacological
Research. Today, the journal is part of the International Society of Drug Bulletins (ISDB), which represents
independent journals.
For more than twenty years, the journal has represented an arena for all those professionals who collect data and carry
out studies in general practice with the aim to increase their knowledge and to improve their practice.
R&P is also appreciated for its ability to go beyond the merely clinical aspect of medicine, without, however, forgetting
that it is to this aspect that the readers dedicate most of their time and effort.
Through its activity, R&P can therefore represent an exclusive, independent observation point. It is also an area that
promotes contemplation, evaluation, and information by applying of tools such as data trustworthiness and importance,
the balance between benefits and risks and between benefits and costs, independence from conflicts of interest, and the
realistic objective to contribute to a progressive, equally distributed improvement in the population’s health.

2.4 – RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
2.4.1 – EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Educational activities are developed only if related to
research studies, in order to offer original contributions
which naturally reinforce the research aims..
2.4.2 – ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS
The main objective of this line of research is to assess the
economic impact of diseases and diagnostic and therapeutic
alternatives available. In general, analyses can be classified
into two groups: observational studies on the costs of a
disease or economic evaluation studies (usually costeffectiveness analyses). In the first case the method employed
consists of studying cohorts of patients with the same disease
for a significant period of time, in order to check health care
resource consumption and to then calculate the unit costs of
individual exams/visits. The goal, especially in hospitals, is to
estimate unit costs through the centers’ accounting data, when
available.
In the second case, the cost analysis is performed in addition
to an assessment of the effectiveness of the alternatives taken
into account (clinical information on treatments analyzed is
therefore collected) in order to calculate the cost-effectiveness
ratio.

2.4.3 – COMPARATIVE HEALTH POLICY ANALYSIS
The main objective of this line of research is to
study the organization of health care systems in
order to construe suggestions
from their
systematic comparison.
The choices made by national legislators, as a
consequence of each country’s common
problems, can vary greatly from one country to
another.
Government intervention is usually present in
every country, although it may vary greatly
because the health service does not have
regulatory market mechanisms related to the law
of supply and demand. The comparative analysis
of these choices at the international level is
therefore useful in verifying the level of
rationality achieved by each national health
policy.
CESAV’s work provides for a more thorough
understanding of the institutional framework, the
main services provided, and the financial
management of the evaluated system in order to
produce the most comprehensive description
possible, leading to a set of positive and negative
indications concerning the system’s efficacy.
2.4.4 – OTHER INTERVENTIONS/PRODUCTS
In addition to the formal research activities, CESAV promotes initiatives in the public health field, in particular those
concerning health economics.
The initiatives involve the participation in, and the organisation of, educational, training, and informationdissemination activities.
The critical and active transfer of scientific knowledge is a continuous, daily stimulus to CESAV’s activity.

addresses the hottest topics in pharmacoeconomics.
The meeting was made up of 6 sections:
1) Monitoring registries
2) Outcome contracts
3) Continuity in community-level assistance
4) Regional purchasing process for biosimilars
5) Pharmacoeconomics
6) Therapies for Hepatitis C

BIOSIMILARI Project
FARMAGOOD is a collaborative project in which the l’IRCCSIstituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri makes its
scientific skills in the drug and pharmacoeconomic areas available
to the Lombardy Region’s Health System in order to identify and
analyse the problematic issues on the use of biosimilars (phase I)
and to promote the appropriate use of these drugs through the
carrying out of informational initiatives and systematic reviews and
metanalyses.
The objective of the meeting was to present the project and to
launch a debate on the regulatory implications and on the economic
aspects related to the availability of biosimilars that are already
present on the market and of those that are expected to be available
within the next three years.

b) QUADERNI DI FARMACOECONOMIA
QdF is a quarterly journal of pharmacoeconomics
published by CESAV. It is designed as a tool to
favour a critical approach to the economic aspects of
the pharmaceutical sector among NHS professionals,
with particular reference to economic evaluations
and drug policies at the national and international
levels.
It was first published in 2006 with the aim to keep the "voice" of independent research alive and to improve the critical
skills of Italy’s health workers.
The editors of QdF believe in the importance of offering the chance to receive updates and critical inputs on
pharmacoeconomy to health system operators without a strong background on the subject. The ultimate goal is a
context in which those working in this field won’t have the illusion of finding a "magic solution" and won’t accept for
gold everything that is published. There is a critical risk, however, of disappointment in the long run and a loss of
credibility in the pharmacoeconomy field. This magazine represents an opportunity to read the more debated economic
and drug policy issues with a critical mind and adequate tools.

LABORATORY OF CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
3.1 - INTRODUCTION
The general aim of the Laboratory of Clinical Epidemiology is to contribute to the improvement of health care in
different medical fields.
The guiding principles are mainly two:
– to help physicians in using the available knowledge and resources at their best;
– to contribute to the growth of applied knowledge for clinical practice.
The Laboratory operates in the field of Intensive Care Medicine. In the main area of activity the laboratory developed
an electronic health record for the ICU which serves the dual purpose of:
– simplifying and improving clinical documentation
– provide accurate data to search for the improvement of quality of care.
Within the Laboratory, the Unit of Clinical Knowledge Engineering aims to bring the value of clinical reasoning out,
through the implementation of probabilistic models for its formalization, thus favouring the evaluation and the
continuous improvement of complex clinical activities.

LABORATORY OF CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
3.4 – RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
3.4.1 – QUALITY OF CARE IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNITS
The main purpose of these research projects is the
assessment and improvement of the quality of care in
Italian Intensive Care Units (ICUs). It is a multi-annual
project promoted on behalf of GiViTI, a collaborative
network composed by more than half of the Italian ICUs
and coordinated by the Laboratory. The main focus is the
Project Margherita.
Its aim is the continuous evaluation of the quality of care and it is based on a
free software developed by the Laboratory and distributed to all the ICUs
adhering to the GiViTI group. The software has been realized on a modular
structure, which enables to easily integrate the basic data collection (the “core”
of Margherita) with the data collection of specific research projects (the “petals”
of Margherita).
Since January 2011, Margherita became an international project. Thanks to
funding from the European Union and other contracts of the laboratory have in
fact been able to develop new software and to distribute the project to eigth
countries: Slovenia, Hungary, Poland, Cyprus, Israel, Afghanistan, Sudan and
Switzerland.
http://www.giviti.marionegri.it/
3.4.2 – APPROPRIATENESS OF THE INTENSIVE CARE UNITS
ICU is a high technology environment, that requires a high number of
high-level personnel. Hence, the cost of these units is extremely
important and a special attention not to waste resources is mandatory.
In this field, the Laboratory launched a study to assess the level of
appropriateness of the use of ICU beds, in three Italian regions:
Lombardia Toscana e Veneto.
Such an evaluation is based on the understanding that the level of care
provided by an ICU should correspond to the level of care it can
theoretically provide, given the available resources. In this
framework, patients are classified as requiring high-, low-, or
ordinary-care, and beds are independently classified are high- or lowlevel.
The appropriateness evaluation protocol adopted verify the concordance between these two separate classifications.
45
LABORATORY OF CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
REPORT 2014
Ideally, an ICU bed equipped to provide a certain level of assistance should be used only for the corresponding level of
complexity of the problem and of the healthcare need. When this occurs, it can be considered an appropriate healthcare
assistance level. Again, ideally, there should be clear
boundaries between levels: a higher healthcare assistance
level should not be used to treat a problem of a smaller size,
just as a low or medium assistance level should not be
employed to treat a problem of greater need. When this
occurs, it is considered an inappropriate use of resources.
An inappropriate service can therefore be one that could be
provided at a lower assistance level (the inappropriateness, in
this case, can be referred to as a waste of high-level
resources), or one that should be provided at a higher
assistance level (inappropriateness in terms of suitability of
the ICU). The StART study’s aim is to assess these
phenomenons and identify their causes in order to improve the
appropriateness of ICU admissions.
3.4.3 – THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CLINICAL REASONING IN MEDICAL PRACTICE AND
EDUCATION
This area represents the main concern of the Unit of Clinical Knowledge
Engineering, whose objective is the valorization of clinical reasoning in solving
complex clinical problems.
The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism still represents a relevant clinical
challenge, due to the complexity of the patient's clinical presentation and the
variability of diagnostic resources among Centres.
In this regard, we are conducting an Italian multicenter study, involving mainly
Emergency Units, with the aim of prospectively validating the diagnostic
software BayPAD (Bayes Pulmonary embolism Assisted Diagnosis).
Such a tool, relying on a probabilistic model covering 72 clinical variables
without the need to input all the contemplated observations, would overcome the
main reasons which prevented ordinary clinical guidelines to be largely accepted.
Moreover, the results of the retrospective validation of the system
have been obtained.
The Unit started a project aimed at designing a software assisting the
physician in tracing back the basis of his clinical decisions before the
description provided by clinical reports, among those that are typical
of particular medical specialty. The software has the double target to
create specific applications based on probabilistic models representing
complex clinical decision problems, and to involve physicians in their
construction. The last target is achievable given the strong analogy
between the causal structure of the exploited models (bayesian
networks) and the pathophysiological structure of medical knowledge.
It will be possible to incorporate this software within medical training
projects, with a special attention to e-learning programs.

LABORATORY OF CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY
3.4.4 – AN ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD TO PROMOTE RESEARCH IN INTENSIVE
CARE MEDICINE
The main aim of this project is to develop an electronic health record (EHR) that allows
the assessment of indicators of the process of care in the ICU.
A multidisciplinary team of intensivists, ICU nurses, epidemiologists, statisticians, and
IT specialists had the responsibility of planning the HER, which is now already shared
by 30 Italian ICUs.
This made it possible to launch the first analysis of the process that has as its goal the
improvement of the practice of weaning from the ventilator.
3.4.5 – HOME ARTIFICIAL NUTRITION IN ITALY
The SINPE (Italian Society of Artificial Nutrition and Metabolism) with the support of
the Laboratory of Clinical Epidemiology promotes the project "DOMUS, the new
register of home artificial nutrition".
The DOMUS project was created with the aim to describe three types of patients who
are subjected to artificial nutrition at home:
 cancer patients;
 patients with benign severe chronic intestinal;
 patients undergoing enteral nutrition at home
and to reveal the activity, efficacy and safety of programs of NAD (Artificial Nutrition at Home), on base of
SINPE indicators.
3.4.6 – OTHER INTERVENTIONS/PRODUCTS
In addition to the formal research activities, the Laboratory promotes initiatives in the public health field, in particular
regarding the improvement of health care.
The critical and active transfer of scientific knowledge is a continuous, daily stimulus to the laboratory’s activity.
In the context of the projects followed by the Laboratory meetings were organized with the aim to evaluate the work
done and to stimulate reflections and exchange of views.

REPORT 2014
LABORATORY OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT
4.1 - INTRODUCTION
The Laboratory promotes various research activities to foster the involvement of citizens, patients and their
representatives in healthcare decisions.
Different methods of involvement have been applied, such as consensus conferences, citizen juries, ad hoc
surveys and focus groups, covering topics as drug therapies, diagnostic tests and screening.
In order to promote a large and widespread involvement, the Laboratory offers training courses for citizens’ and
patients’ associations to deal effectively with the medical and scientific stakeholders, organizing initiatives of
collaboration and discussion with scientific societies. Eight editions have been organized until now.
Among the Laboratory’s research lines there are research projects to assess the information provided to lay
people and patients on diseases and treatments; research on how disseminate health information and results of
scientific research; development of Internet portals on health issues and information (www.partecipasalute.it,
www.fondazionemattioli.it, http://indeep.istituto-besta.it/).
The Laboratory is also active in projects involving groups of patients for the definition and publication of
information brochures. Finally, part of the activities of the Laboratory projects concerns the evaluation of quality
of life and health, both through studies of selected groups of patients, and through the development of
questionnaires

4.4 – RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
4.4.1 – ECRAN PROJECT
The ECRAN Project –
European Communication Research Awareness Needs,
has been developed and ended in 2014, as part of the 7th EU
Framework Programme.
The project was designed with the aim to promote information on independent
clinical research for European citizens, developing different information and
education
materials. According with the interest of the European Community to support independent and multinational clinical
trials, the project has developed tools to communicate key messages on clinical trials for European citizens and patients,
including the younger generation. In particular, the project focused on these key messages:
-
public understanding of the basic principles of clinical research and the need to
organize clinical trials, promoting both the participation of patients in clinical
studies, and the participation of patients’ representatives in their design;
-
the need for independent clinical trials, promoted on the basis of real public health
problems and according to the real needs of patients;
-
promotion of transparent information on clinical trials and best use of the results
obtained;
-
promotion of cooperation and collaboration between European countries,
considering the amount of the European population and its characteristics.
59
LABORATORY OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT
REPORT 2014
These messages have been addressed and developed with communication tools, including: an online database with
resources available in several European languages, a website and tools WEB2.0, an animated film about clinical trials,
dubbed in 23 European official languages. All these tools are freely available on the project’s website and can be useful
for health professionals, researchers, policy makers, scientific societies, associations of citizens and patients and
journalists to clarify any aspect of clinical research, as well as to support the need to rely on independent research.
The project – through the development of materials in several European
languages – has thus exceeded the language barriers translating in different
languages all the tools developed and providing EU citizens with the good
quality materials already available. The film "Clinical research is also about
you: do you want to know more?" (http://www.ecranproject.eu/en/node/10 )
is available in 23 languages while the website is developed in 6 languages,
with some tools in 23 languages.
The project involved nine different partners, including representatives of
groups of citizens and patients. All the materials and information in the ECRAN project are available at
www.ecranproject.eu
4.4.2 –IN-DEEP PROJECT
INTEGRATING THE EXPERIENCES AND PREFERENCES OF PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WITH THE RESULTS
OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO DEVELOP HEALTH INFORMATION USEFUL FOR INFORMED AND SHARED DECISIONS
The IN-DEEP project is an Australian-Italian collaboration between the Centre for Health
Communication and Participation, Department of Public Health, La Trobe University,
Melbourne, the Cochrane Multiple Sclerosis Group, IRCCS Carlo Besta Neurological
Institute and IRCCS-Institute for Pharmacological Research Mario Negri, and was funded by
the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. The project advisory board includes neurologists,
people with multiple sclerosis, experts in health literacy and communication and
representatives of the Italian and Australian MS societies.
The project's objective is to know how, where and when people with multiple
sclerosis seek information online and how they use it to make decisions, and then
develop a model of good-quality information on the basis of their information needs
(http://indeep.istituto-besta.it). Interferon was the first topic covered. The model of
information on interferon was then evaluated by users through a questionnaire.
During the current year, we proceeded with the development of the module on the symptom fatigue, a topic of particular
interest for people with multiple sclerosis, and with the pubblication of the projects’ results.
4.4.3 – CITIZENS' JURY: CYSTIC FIBROSIS SCREENING
The Mario Negri Institute, the Agency of Scientific Publishing Zadig and the Cystic
Fibrosis Center Hospital Borgo Trento Verona have promoted the project "Citizens' Jury
and decision making on cystic fibrosis carrier screening: to screen or not to screen? "
supported by the Foundation for Cystic Fibrosis (FFC) Research's Fund.
The basic idea of the project is that decisions on medical interventions - that have collective
nature and impact on the community, as well as on the individual - should be shared with
citizens, put in a position to decide, thanks to a transparent and complete information.
Aim of this project, which follows the pilot project supported by the FFC and held in
Verona (http://www.partecipasalute.it/cms_2/node/1840), is to organize two juries of
citizens in other cities, and launch a public consultation via internet through a questionnaire
aimed at citizens, patients, health care professionals, health care decision-makers and scientific societies.

4.4.4 – PARTECIPASALUTE: A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE BETWEEN PATIENT GROUPS,
CITIZENS AND SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL COMMUNITIES
This project, held in collaboration with the Italian Cochrane Centre and Zadig scientific publishing agency, began in
September 2003. During these years, initiatives aimed at training patient and citizen associations to increase their
participation and discussion on health-care topics and in decision making have been tested. Activities targeted to
scientific and professional societies have also been organized in order to foster constructive relationships with patients
and citizens and their associations, considering their questions and expectations regarding the production of clinical
research and the dissemination of scientific information. The project and the working group born around the project
remain an important reference point for activities involving citizens and patients in the health-care debate. One of the
strength of the project is the development and continuous updating of the website www.partecipasalute.it , with new
articles and insights every week and a newsletter sent every month to a mailing list of more than 2,500 people.
4.4.5 – GYNECOLOGICAL TUMORS AND FOUNDATION NERINA AND MARIO MATTIOLI
ONLUS
Since 1995, the Foundation Nerina and Mario
Mattioli Onlus, in collaboration with the Department
of Oncology-IRCCS Istituto Mario Negri, has
helped to develop and catalyze an interdisciplinary
collaboration among different research institutes and
hospitals and facilitate the transfer of knowledge
from the research laboratory to the clinical setting,
hoping to obtain benefits for all patients with
gynecological cancer, especially ovarian cancer.
The ovarian cancer is the sixth most common type of
cancer in European women, as well as the first cause
of cancer death among gynecological cancers.
The Laboratory is part of the Steering Committee
since 2014 and since then it has been developing the
website www.fondazionemattioli.it, publishing
specific articles and general information about
laboratory and clinical research, strengthening
relationships with other groups of researchers.

4.4.6 – STUDY
ON THE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FOLLOW-UP IN
ONCOLOGY
Two multicenter, randomized trials and the trial Futura Totem - respectively on breast
and endometrial cancer - are comparing different types of follow-up. Ongoing trials will
try to redeem the question about the value of follow-up: in some cases, for example in
breast and colorectal cancer, follow-up is still performed in clinical practice, even if
randomized clinical trials, meta-analysis, consensus conferences, and authoritative
statements of associations and scientific societies suggest that there is no evidence of
substantial benefit in making intensive diagnostic tests after the primary therapy. In
endometrial cancer data on the benefits of follow-up are even less.
4.4.7 – PROJECT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE EVALUATION
As in the previous year, the Laboratory provided
support and coordination to groups that use the quality
of life questionnaires translated and validated by the
Laboratory - such as SF-36, SF-12, PGWBI. The
questionnaires are available on the site:

4.4.8 – OTHER INTERVENTIONS/PRODUCTS
MEETING
"The Health Service should or not organize a screening in the population with the aim of
identifying healthy people who may have children suffering from cystic fibrosis?
In Pistoia (May 2014) and Palermo (September 2014), two juries composed of citizens belonging to patient and
volunteer associations based in the these provinces were organized. The question for deliberation was: "The Health
Service should or not organize a screening in the population with the aim of identifying healthy people who may have
children suffering from cystic fibrosis?".
Jurors first discussed with a group of experts, then a pros and cons debate followed. The jurors actively participate in
the debate asking all the questions needed to better understand the information provided before the event. In the
afternoon, behind closed doors, the jurors made their deliberation, after a discussion led by a facilitator. The project will
continue with a public consultation on the web that will involve health professionals and citizens, and with a final
conference of presentation of all the results. More information about

4.5.1 – COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
a) SLOW MEDICINE STEERING COMMITTEE
A network of ideas in motion that relies on the presence of network points that are
particularly active: scientific societies, associations, colleges and professional
associations, professional groups, groups of citizens who share and support ideas
that are related to, or collaborate in various ways, with the activities and projects of
Slow Medicine. The Laboratory is present in the Slow Medicine Steering
Committee.
b) SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL COMMITTEE OF ATCO
The Scientific and Technical Committee of ATCO, a non-profit organization, is composed of
eight members, men and women, who play a prominent role on the national and international
levels, making their skills available to the Association.
c)
ONLUS ATTILIA POFFERI STEERING COMMITTEE
The scientific committee of a private non-profit organization whose purpose is to support
scientific research in the field of oncology, either directly, with studies carried out in the
community (the Province of Pistoia), or collaborating with other organizations and institutions
that pursue the same purposes. The Laboratory is present in the Steering Committee.
d) FONDAZIONE NERINA E MARIO MATTIOLI ONLUS STEERING COMMITTEE
Since 1995, the Nerina and Mario Mattioli Foundation Onlus has helped develop and promote
interdisciplinary cooperation and facilitate the rapid transfer of knowledge between the
laboratory and clinic in the hope of improving the lives of patients with tumors of the female
genital tract. The Laboratory is present in the Steering Committee.
e)
AIOM COMMITTEE, PSYCHOSOCIAL GUIDELINES
The diagnosis of cancer and its consequences can have a major impact on the lives of
patients and their families, well beyond the range of physical symptoms on which the
attention of patients generally focuses. Despite the importance of these issues and the
evidence available, the psychosocial needs are often not acknowledged and therefore
not treated in a timely manner.
It is therefore more than ever necessary to provide professional guidance based on
evidence of effectiveness to guide them towards an understanding of the emotional
impact of the disease on their patients and the implementation of strategies to reduce
it. The AIOM, in collaboration with the Italian Society of Psycho-Oncology (SIPO)
has decided to create its first Italian guidelines for the improvement of psychosocial
status of patients with cancer (www.aiom.it).
