Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Italian Humanitarian Congenital Cardiac Surgery Activity: What No One Tells You

<p>Giamberti A, Caldaroni F, Varrica A, Pace Napoleone C, Marianeschi SM, Uricchio N, Vanini V, Santoro F, Luciani GB, Stellin G, Gargiulo G, Murzi B, Filippelli S, Oppido G, Agati S, Galletti L, Frigiola A. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Italian Humanitarian Congenital Cardiac Surgery Activity: What No One Tells You. Front Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Jul 28;8:705029. doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.705029. PMID: 34395564; PMCID: PMC8355370.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p>More than 4 millions of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are waiting for cardiac surgery around the world. Few of these patients are treated only thanks to the support of many non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Starting in December 2019, the so-called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly become a worldwide pandemic and has dramatically impacted on all the international humanitarian activities for congenital heart disease. We analyzed data from all the Italian congenital cardiac surgery centers with the aim to quantify the impact of the pandemic on their charities. Fifteen Italian centers participated in the study and contributed to data collection. We analyzed and compared data regarding humanitarian activities carried out abroad and on site from two periods: year 2019 (pre-COVID-19) and year 2020 (COVID-19 pandemic). In 2019, 53 international missions were carried out by Italian congenital cardiac surgeons, resulting in the treatment of 471 CHD patients. In the same period 11 Italian cardiac centers operated on 251 foreign patients in Italy. In 2020, the pandemic led to a reduction of this activity by 96% for the surgery performed overseas and 86% for the interventions carried out in Italy. In conclusion our study shows the important quantitative impact of the pandemic on the Italian humanitarian cardiac surgical activity overseas and in Italy. This shocking result highlights the failure of the systems adopted so far to solve the problem of CHD in developing countries.</p>

The effect of health literacy on vaccine hesitancy among Italian anticoagulated population during COVID-19 pandemic: the moderating role of health engagement

<p>Magon A, Arrigoni C, Graffigna G, Barello S, Moia M, Palareti G, Caruso R. The effect of health literacy on vaccine hesitancy among Italian anticoagulated population during COVID-19 pandemic: the moderating role of health engagement. Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2021 Oct 13:1-6. doi: 10.1080/21645515.2021.1984123. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 34643478.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p>Assessing vaccine hesitancy and its determinants is pivotal to optimize vaccine acceptance in anticoagulated patients, given that this population has been described to have a higher risk of severe COVID-19-related complications. This study assessed the moderator role of patients&#39; health engagement on the relationship between health literacy and vaccine hesitancy. A web-based survey was performed in Italy during the first wave (June-August 2020) and the second wave (October 2020-March 2021) of the COVID-19 pandemic, enrolling 288 patients. The rates of vaccine hesitancy reported during the first pandemic wave were 38.4% and 30.8% during the second wave (when a vaccine was available) (<em>p</em>&nbsp;= .164). A moderation analysis was performed to assess the role of health engagement in influencing the relationship from health literacy to vaccine hesitancy. Patients&#39; health engagement enhanced the effects of health literacy on decreasing vaccine hesitancy (<em>p</em>&nbsp;&lt; .001), suggesting that co-construction strategies for communicative action are pivotal.</p>

<p>Dataset from the article&nbsp;Cozzi A, Schiaffino S, Arpaia F, Della Pepa G, Tritella S, Bertolotti P, Menicagli L, Monaco CG, Carbonaro LA, Spairani R, Babaei Paskeh B, Sardanelli F. Chest x-ray in the COVID-19 pandemic: Radiologists&#39; real-world reader performance. Eur J Radiol. 2020 Nov;132:109272. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2020.109272. Epub 2020 Sep 10. PMID: 32971326; PMCID: PMC7481070.</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p><strong>Purpose:&nbsp;</strong>To report real-world diagnostic performance of chest x-ray (CXR) readings during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> <p><strong>Methods:&nbsp;</strong>In this retrospective observational study we enrolled all patients presenting to the emergency department of a Milan-based university hospital from February 24th to April 8th 2020 who underwent nasopharyngeal swab for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and anteroposterior bedside CXR within 12 h. A composite reference standard combining RT-PCR results with phone-call-based anamnesis was obtained. Radiologists were grouped by CXR reading experience (Group-1, &gt;10 years; Group-2, &lt;10 years), diagnostic performance indexes were calculated for each radiologist and for the two groups.</p> <p><strong>Results:&nbsp;</strong>Group-1 read 435 CXRs (77.0 % disease prevalence): sensitivity was 89.0 %, specificity 66.0 %, accuracy 83.7 %. Group-2 read 100 CXRs (73.0 % prevalence): sensitivity was 89.0 %, specificity 40.7 %, accuracy 76.0 %. During the first half of the outbreak (195 CXRs, 66.7 % disease prevalence), overall sensitivity was 80.8 %, specificity 67.7 %, accuracy 76.4 %, Group-1 sensitivity being similar to Group-2 (80.6 % versus 81.5 %, respectively) but higher specificity (74.0 % versus 46.7 %) and accuracy (78.4 % versus 69.0 %). During the second half (340 CXRs, 81.8 % prevalence), overall sensitivity increased to 92.8 %, specificity dropped to 53.2 %, accuracy increased to 85.6 %, this pattern mirrored in both groups, with decreased specificity (Group-1, 58.0 %; Group-2, 33.3 %) but increased sensitivity (92.7 % and 93.5 %) and accuracy (86.5 % and 81.0 %, respectively).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:&nbsp;</strong>Real-world CXR diagnostic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic showed overall high sensitivity with higher specificity for more experienced radiologists. The increase in accuracy over time strengthens CXR role as a first line examination in suspected COVID-19 patients.</p>

Psychiatric symptoms and emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian adolescents during the third lockdown: a cross-sectional cohort study

<p>This database includes the raw data linked with the paper &ldquo;Psychiatric Symptoms and Emotional Repercussions of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Italian Adolescents: Third Lockdown Survey&rdquo; .</p> <p>In this paper, we proposed a questionnaire to investigate the presence of symptoms related to anxiety, panic, depression, eating disorders, sleep disorders, tendency to social withdrawal, stress disorders, psychotic symptoms, anti-conservative thoughts, and self-harming acts aggravated by COVID-19 restrictions. Our aim was to investigate: (1) The prevalence rate and sociodemographic correlates of COVID-19 related stress disorders, depressive, anxious, panic, and psychotic symptoms, according to DSM-5 criteria, during the third lockdown in Italy. (2)&nbsp; Perception of personal stress level, dysfunctional eating behaviours, sleep problems, substances abuse, perceived social withdrawal, and suicidal ideation and self-harm during the third lockdown in Italy. (3) Differences between male adolescents and female adolescents.</p> <p>We administered an online anonymous questionnaire, built ad hoc using validated scales, to a cohort of 500 Italian adolescents (12-18 y.o.).</p> <p>Our study highlighted that the respondents felt more stress than during the first lockdown. Participants showed suprathreshold symptoms for post-traumatic stress disorder and isolated symptoms of acute or post-traumatic stress due to the pandemic. In addition, we found psychotic symptoms, panic, anxiety, depression, eating-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, tendency to social withdrawal after the pandemic, suicidal ideation, and self-harming behaviour. Furthermore, girls showed a more severe level of distress than boys did. The results show a high prevalence of symptoms developed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and which are undermining the psychological health of Italian adolescents.</p>

Is brain-derived neurotropic factor methylation involved in the association between prenatal stress and maternal postnatal anxiety during the covid-19 pandemic?

<p>This database includes the raw data linked with the paper &ldquo;IIs brain-derived neurotropic factor methylation involved in the association between prenatal stress and maternal postnatal anxiety during the covid-19 pandemic?&rdquo;. This publication is part of the longitudinal and multi-centric &ldquo;Measuring the outcomes of maternal COVID-19-related prenatal exposure (MOM-COPE)&rdquo; research project. In this paper, we report data on the association among pandemic-related stress during pregnancy, maternal BDNF methylation, and postnatal anxiety symptoms.<br> <strong>Procedures.&nbsp;</strong>At birth, the mothers filled in the ad-hoc questionnaire attached about the pandemic related stress (file name: 22-06-14_momcope_bdnf_adhoc.pdf) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, 1983). The maternal BDNF methylation was estimated in 11 CpG sites in DNA from mothers&rsquo; buccal cells by PCR amplification of bisulfite-treated DNA followed by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) on a NEXTSeq-500 (Illumina, San Diego, California, USA).<br> <strong>Analytical plan.&nbsp;</strong>Separate Pearson&rsquo;s bivariate correlations were used to assess the presence of significant associations among pandemic-related stress during pregnancy, maternal anxious symptoms after delivery, and CpG-specific BDNF % methylation. CpG-specific BDNF % methylation values for which a significant association emerged with both pandemic-related stress and anxious symptoms were subsequently tested in a mediation model to assess their role as significant mediators of the relationship between pandemic-related stress and maternal anxious symptoms.<br> <strong>Findings in brief.&nbsp;</strong>Results showed that pandemic-related stress was associated with an increased risk of postnatal anxiety (r = .20, p &lt;.05). CpG-specific BDNF methylation was significantly associated with both prenatal pandemic-related stress (r = .21, p &lt; .05) and postnatal maternal anxious symptoms (r = .25, p = .01). Moreover, a complete mediation by the BDNF CpG6 methylation emerged between pandemic-related stress during pregnancy and postnatal maternal anxiety (ACME = .66, p &lt; .05).</p>

This publication is part of the longitudinal and multi-centric &ldquo;Measuring the outcomes of maternal COVID-19-related prenatal exposure (MOM-COPE)&rdquo; research project. In this paper, we report data on NR3C1 and SLC6A4 methylation status in Italian mothers and infants who were exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown during different trimesters of pregnancy.</p> <p><strong>Procedures:&nbsp;</strong>283 mother-infant dyads were enrolled at delivery. Within 24 hours from delivery, buccal cells were collected to assess NR3C1 (44 CpG sites) and SLC6A4 (13 CpG sites) methylation status. Mothers self-reported on depressive symptoms and anxiety by replying to an online adapted version of the well-validated Beck Depression Inventory and State-Trait Anxiety questionnaires, respectively.</p> <p><strong>Analytical plan:&nbsp;</strong>Principal component (PC) analyses were used to reduce methylation data dimension to one PC per maternal and infant gene methylation. Mother-infant dyads were split into three groups based on the pregnancy trimester during which they were exposed to the COVID-19 lockdown. To assess the presence of significant differences in maternal and infant methylation of SLC6A4 and NR3C1 genes by pregnancy trimester of exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, four separate one-way ANOVAs were carried out with Trimester (levels: third, second, first) as the between-subject variable and each of the methylation PCs.</p> <p><strong>Findings in brief:&nbsp;</strong>Mothers and infants who were exposed to the lockdown during the first trimester of pregnancy had lower NR3C1 and SLC6A4 methylation when compared to counterparts exposed during the second or third trimesters. The effect remained significant after controlling for confounders.</p>

Synthesizing Stakeholders Perspectives on Online Psychological Interventions to Improve the Mental Health of the Italian Population during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Online Survey Study

<p>The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to significantly increase the prevalence of mental health problems, thus raising the need for psychological support interventions around the world. Online psychological interventions have already been shown to be an effective solution to promote psychological treatments. Nevertheless, planning and developing an online intervention, involving possible stakeholders, might facilitate the dissemination of, willingness to use, and success of the future intervention. This study aims to explore and compare the experiences that Italians living in Italy and abroad had with available support services during the COVID-19 pandemic, their needs, and attitudes, as well as possible barriers to online psychological interventions. A sample of<br> 1024 Italians (F = 69.8%; mean age = 41.3; SD = 15.3) was recruited through social media platforms and personal contacts and they were asked to complete an online survey. Results showed that perceived psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic improved. In Europe, psychological support was delivered mainly in person (69.0%), while online interventions were primarily used in<br> extra-European countries (57%). Then, only 44% of the total sample was interested in trying an online psychological intervention. Various advantages and disadvantages were defined by stakeholders: The main advantages were the reduction in geographical distances, economic reasons, and the reduction in the waiting list; The main disadvantages were problems with technology, low motivation of users, and privacy/safety reasons. These data made it possible to improve the knowledge regarding the views and attitudes that Italians have about online&nbsp;psychological interventions and shed light on how to increase the uptake of digital health.</p>
