Epidemiology of crohn's disease in Sicily: A hospital incidence study from 1987 to 1989

1991

An epidemiologic study of Crohn's disease was carried out in the Province of Palermo, Italy, between 1987 and 1989. The incidence of first hospitalization was prospectively evaluated in this period. A total of 103 patients (59 males, 44 females) were diagnosed. The standardized annual incidence was 2.7/100,000. The incidence was quite constant during the 3 years of the study (1987: 2.9/100,000; 1988: 2.4/100,000; 1989: 2.99/100,000). Incidence rates were slightly higher in men than in women. The disease had a bimodal age distribution in female (with peaks at age 20–29 and 60–69) and males (with peaks at age 30–39, 40–49). No cases were observed at age 0–9. The incidence of Crohn's disease i…

Decrease in annual incidence of acute coronary syndrome and restructuring of coronary care in Latvia

2014

Abstract Introduction Improvement in coronary heart disease prevention and treatment, as well as availability of coronary care facilities, is important for the reduction of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) incidence. Centralized acute coronary care system is crucial to provide optimal hospitalization and management algorithm for ACS patients. Aim The aim of the current report was to assess the annual incidence of ACS and the quality of acute coronary care in Latvia. Methods The Data from The Latvian Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes were analyzed covering the time period from 2005 to 2010. Results Since the year 2005 the annual incidence of hospitalization due to ACS decreased significantly…

Pediatric bone tumors in Germany from 1987 to 2011: incidence rates, time trends and survival

2016

AbstractBackground: Malignant bone tumors are a rare group of childhood cancer.Materials and methods: This study describes incidence rates, survival probabilities, and time trends for 1831 children below 15 years of age with a bone tumor registered at the population-based German Childhood Cancer Registry between 1987 and 2011.Results: Overall age-standardized annual incidence rate (ASR) was 5.5 per million. Osteosarcomas (ASR 2.8) and Ewing tumors (ASR 2.6) were the most frequent diagnostic groups. The incidence of bone tumors overall tended to increase slightly over time by 0.7% each year on average. Thirty-nine of the bone tumor cases reported were subsequent primaries and not included in…

Primary biliary cholangitis in Spain. Results of a Delphi study of epidemiology, diagnosis, follow-up and treatment.

2018

RESUMEN Introducción: la colangitis biliar primaria (CBP) es una enfermedad rara, de la que existe información limitada en España sobre su epidemiología y manejo en la práctica clínica habitual. Objetivos: conocer la epidemiología, flujo del paciente, diagnóstico, seguimiento y tratamiento de la CBP en España. Métodos: revisión de la literatura y estudio siguiendo la metodología Delphi con participación de 28 especialistas en dos rondas de consulta y un taller de validación de resultados presencial. Resultados: existen, aproximadamente, 9.400 pacientes con CBP en España, con una incidencia anual de entre 0,51 y 3,86 casos/100.000 habitantes, aunque el margen de error se presupone alto dada …

Epidemiologie von Hirntumoren im Kindesalter

2000

The German Childhood Cancer Registry (GCCR) was established in 1980. From 1980 to 1997 4,447 CNS tumours in children below 15 years of age have been reported to the registry. From 1988 to 1997 the average annual incidence was 2.5/100,000 children. This corresponds to 19.2% of the registered diseases. Compared with incidence rates reported from other developed countries one can estimate that there is about 25% underreporting of CNS tumours in the GCCR. This is in contrast to the relatively complete ascertainment of other childhood malignancies (above 95%). Based on 3012 incident cases from 1988 to 1997 the Kaplan-Meier-estimate of 5-year-survival probability is 65% for all CNS tumours and 54…

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Palermo, Italy: an epidemiological study

1989

The incidence, prevalence and natural course of ALS were determined in the population of the province of Palermo, Italy. The average annual incidence calculated for the years 1973 through 1984, was 044./100.000 inhabitants. The prevalence rate on prevalence day December 31, 1984, was 1.67/100.000 population. The male/female ratio was 1.38. The mean age at onset was 54.3±11.02. The most common clinical form was the conventional one (61.4%); the bulbar form was more frequent among females than males. The mean duration of the disease was 33.7±35.8 months. The longest duration belongs to the pseudopolyneuritic form. The median survival was 36 months: 16 months for the bulbar, 36 months for the …

Incidence of multiple sclerosis in Bagheria City, Sicily, Italy.

2001

We investigated the incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a Sicilian community located at sea level. The study was a retrospective search for MS patients. Incidence was studied in the period from 1 January 1985 to 31 December 1994. We searched for definite MS patients, according to Poser's criteria, among the population resident in Bagheria (Palermo province). There were 25 subjects affected by MS, of which 20 were incident MS patients. The average annual incidence was 4.4 per 100 000 persons (n = 453 385 person-years). The incidence increased over time (1985-1989 = 3.5, 1990-1994 = 5.3). A parallel decrease of the interval between onset and diagnosis of MS was observed (1985-1989, 3.7 ye…

[Tuberculosis epidemiology in area 15 of the Spanish autonomous community of Valencia: evolution from 1987 through 2001].

2005

Objectives TO describe the evolution of tuberculosis epidemiology in Area 15 of the Autonomous Community of Valencia. Material and Methods Cases of tuberculosis were identified by active case finding in Area 15 from January 1987 through December 2001. Clinical and epidemiological data were extracted from case records and a patient interview. Results Four hundred seventy-six diagnosed cases of mycobacterial infection were identified (459 tuberculosis, 16 atypical, and 1 mixed); 423 tuberculosis patients were residents of Area 15. The mean annual incidence rate was 24.6/100 000 population, representing a rate decrease of 41.5% from 1990. The most frequent risk factors were smoking (38%), alco…
