Hospitalization and mortality among the elderly exposed to polytherapy and at risk of adverse drug reactions
2017
The increase in comorbidities due to an aging population determines a marked increase in the use of drugs (polypharmacy), which in turn carries a high risk of drug-drug interactions. This Paper will analyze the relationship between exposure to adverse drug interactions, and hospitalization and mortality in a cohort of elderly patients, living in a local Health Unit in Palermo, Italy. These patients were exposed to drugs whose concurrent use is contraindicated during the period 1.1.2014 - 30.12.2014. After a description of the most common drugs involved in adverse reactions, an evaluation of the extent of hospitalization and mortality will be performed. The results will demonstrate that ther…

Prioritizing covariates in the planning of future studies in the meta-analytic framework
2016
Science can be seen as a sequential process where each new study augments evidence to the existing knowledge. To have the best prospects to make an impact in this process, a new study should be designed optimally taking into account the previous studies and other prior information. We propose a formal approach for the covariate prioritization, i.e., the decision about the covariates to be measured in a new study. The decision criteria can be based on conditional power, change of the p-value, change in lower confidence limit, Kullback-Leibler divergence, Bayes factors, Bayesian false discovery rate or difference between prior and posterior expectation. The criteria can be also used for decis…
Book of Short Papers SIS 2018
2018
This book includes the papers presented at the "49th Meeting of the Italian Statistic Society". The conference has registered 445 participants, 350 reports divided into 4 plenary sessions, 20 specialised sessions, 25 sessions solicited, 27 sessions spontaneous, 2 poster sessions. The high number of participants, the high quality of the interventions, the productive spirit of the conference, the ability to respect the time table, are the main indices of the full success of this conference. The meeting hosted also, as plenary sessions, the ISTAT annual report 2018, and a round table on statistics and job markets. Methodological plenary sessions concerned with ordinal data, the dynamics of cli…

Detecting Kernel Vulnerabilities During the Development Phase
2015
Testing is one of the major problems in Linux kernel development cycle. Security analysis and ensuring no new vulnerabilities has been introduced is one of the toughest issues of testing. Kernel developers attempt to find as many security issues as possible before merging with the mainline branch. Failure to detect vulnerabilities will result in vulnerable kernel shipped by distribution and vulnerable systems. The kernel developers can choose between several industrial and open source tools to assist in the development process and shorten the development cycle. (Though not as many as user space developers. Kernel tools are limited and rare compared to user space tools) Some of these tools a…
Product market regulation, innovation and productivity
2014
Several recent policy and academic contributions consider that liberalising product markets would foster innovation and growth. This paper analyses the innovation-productivity relationship at the industry-level for a sample of OECD manufacturing industries. We pay particular attention to the vertically-induced influence of product market regulation (PMR) of key input sectors of the economy on the innovative process of manufacturing and its consequences on productivity. We test for a differentiated effect of this type of PMR depending on whether countries are technological leaders or laggards in a given industry and for a given time period. Contrary to the most widespread policy claims, the …
