BMJ Open. 2019 Oct 18;9(10):e030917. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2019-030917. PMID: 31630105; PMCID: PMC6803081.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is the abstract:</p> <p><strong>Objectives: </strong>To provide the first epidemiological lifestyle descriptions of the Italian grown-up/adult congenital heart disease (GUCH/ACHD) population by identifying the determinants of poor perceived health status.</p> <p><strong>Design: </strong>Cross-sectional pan-national survey.</p> <p><strong>Setting: </strong>Italian GUCH/ACHD patients who were members of the Italian Association of GUCH/ACHD.</p> <p><strong>Primary and secondary outcome measures: </strong>To discuss these lifestyle descriptions through an ad hoc developed questionnaire and health perceptions (ie, mental and physical health perception) through a short form health survey (SF-12).</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>629 patients included; many investigated GUCH/ACHD lifestyles were determined similar to those of the general population - with the exception of the smoking habits, which were lower. The odds of the occurrence of inadequate physical health perceptions increased by more than two times in patients undergoing antiarrhythmic therapies (OR adjusted=2.045; 95% CI=1.201 to 3.479; p=0.008; n=629), more than 1.5 times in patients taking oral anticoagulants (OR adjusted=1.638; 95% CI=1.038 to 2.585; p=0.034; n=629) and roughly 1.7 times in patients treated with antiplatelets (OR adjusted=1.743; 95% CI=1.024 to 2.966; p=0.041; n=629). The odds of the occurrence of inadequate mental health perceptions increased by 1.7% for every year that the patients aged (OR adjusted=1.017; 95% CI=1.002 to 1.032; p=0.025; n=629).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Particular attention should be paid to these ageing patients' increasing psychological needs, and additional research is needed to identify associations between their lifestyles and clinical outcomes.</p> <p> </p>

The association between body mass index and fibromyalgia severity: data from a cross-sectional survey of 2339 patients
<p>The association between body mass index and fibromyalgia severity: data from a cross-sectional survey of 2339 patients</p> <p>Objective Various studies have shown that overweight and obesity are central features of FM, but<br> the real impact of a high BMI on clinical severity in patients with FM is still controversial. The aim of<br> this study was to analyse the relationships between BMI categories and measures of symptom severity<br> and functional impairment using data from a Web-based registry of patients with FM.<br> Methods Adult patients with an ACR 2010/2011 diagnosis of FM underwent a complete physical examination<br> and laboratory tests and were asked to complete a package of questionnaires covering their<br> sociodemographic and treatment details, in addition to the following disease-specific questionnaires:<br> the revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR), the modified Fibromyalgia Assessment Status<br> questionnaire (ModFAS) and the Polysymptomatic Distress Scale (PDS).<br> Results A total of 2339 patients were recruited and divided into two weight categories, underweight/<br> normal (U/N, n¼1127, 48.2%) and overweight/obese (O/O, n¼1212, 51.8%). The total and subscales significantly higher in the O/O patients, as were all the mean scores of the individual FIQR items<br> (P<0.001 for all).<br> Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that O/O patients with FM are significantly more impaired than<br> U/N patients in all the symptomatological and functional domains as measured using the FIQR,<br> ModFAS and PDS, thus suggesting that being O/O has an additional effect on symptoms and<br> function.</p>
Uncertain crisis time affects psychosocial dimensions in beta-thalassemia patients during Covid-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study
<p>Submitted materials consist of study dataset (Dataset_Thalassemia.xsls, EXCEL format), Syntax of analyses performed (Syntax_Thalassemia.sps, SPSS format), Output of results (Logfile_Thalassemia.spv, SPSS format).</p> <p>Study dataset includes socio-demographic data of 43 beta-thalassemia patients and 86 controls and the clinical and psychosocial variables used in the study (i.e., distress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, coping strategies) as well as scores of perceived impact of Covid-19 outbreak and changes in life habits. Statistical analysis included group differences (one-way ANOVA) between patients and control subjects on: 1) psycho-socio-emotional measures including distress, depression and anxiety, loneliness and coping styles; 2) perceived impact of Covid-19 outbreak on health and economy; and 3) life habit changes, and in particular on the Social Habits, the Outdoor Habits and the Indoor Habits Scales. Study results no significant group differences (one-way ANOVA) in loneliness sub-scores, distress and depression variables. A significant group effect was found on anxiety scale and transcendent coping scale, with patients showing higher scores than control subjects in both measures. After multiple comparison correction, only the difference on transcendent coping scores remained significant. Significant group differences in the perceived impact of Covid-19 for economy was also found, showing that patients perceived the impact of Covid-19 for economy as more serious than control subjects. Finally, a significant group difference in the Outdoor Habits Scale emerged, with patients reporting greater changes in outdoor habits than controls. Outdoor Habits Scale correlated with DASS anxiety sub-scale.</p>
Effects of Mutuality, Anxiety, and Depression on Quality of Life of Patients With Heart Failure: A Cross-Sectional Study
<p>Dellafiore F, Arrigoni C, Palpella F, Diazzi A, Orrico M, Magon A, Pittella F, Caruso R. Effects of Mutuality, Anxiety, and Depression on Quality of Life of Patients With Heart Failure: A Cross-Sectional Study. Creat Nurs. 2021 Aug 1;27(3):181-189. doi: 10.1891/CRNR-D-20-00025. PMID: 34493639.</p> <p>This study aimed to describe the impact of mutuality, anxiety, and depression on quality of life (QoL) in patients with heart failure (HF) using cross-sectional, convenient, and consecutive sampling. A total of 97 patients were recruited. Socio-demographic and clinical variables and self-report measures of anxiety, depression, mutuality, and QoL were collected. The results highlighted the pivotal role of mutuality (specifically the domain of shared values between patients and their caregivers) in determining perceptions of physical health. Conversely, depression was a negative determinant of perceptions of both physical and mental health. Future research is needed to describe in-depth and longitudinally the associations between mutuality and QoL in patients with HF.</p>
Burnout syndrome and its determinants among healthcare workers during the first wave of the Covid-19 outbreak in Italy: a cross-sectional study to identify sex-related differences.
<p>Brera AS, Arrigoni C, Dellafiore F, Odone A, Magon A, Nania T, Pittella F, Palamenghi L, Barello S, Caruso R. Burnout syndrome and its determinants among healthcare workers during the first wave of the Covid-19 outbreak in Italy: a cross-sectional study to identify sex-related differences. Med Lav. 2021 Aug 26;112(4):306-319. doi: 10.23749/mdl.v112i4.11316. PMID: 34446687; PMCID: PMC8436819.</p> <p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Several studies described burnout levels of healthcare workers (HCWs) during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, sex-related differences remain poorly investigated.</p> <p><strong>Objective: </strong>To describe sex-related differences in burnout and its determinants among HCWs during the first pandemic wave of the COVID-19 in Italy.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional study was performed between April and May 2020. The framework given by the Job Demands Resources (JD-R) model was used to assess burnout determinants (risk and protective factors).</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Male HCWs (n=133) had higher levels of depersonalization than female HCWs (P=0,017) and female HCWs (n=399) reported greater emotional exhaustion rates (P=0,005). Female nurses were the most exposed to burnout (OR=2,47; 95%CI=1,33-4,60; P=0,004), emotional exhaustion (OR=1,89; 95% CI=1,03-3,48; P=0,041), and depersonalization (OR=1,91; 95% CI=1,03-3,53; P=0,039). Determinants of burnout differed between sexes, and some paradoxical associations were detected: the score of job demands was a protective factor in females for burnout, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization, resilience was a risk factor for males.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study reveals that the stressors in male and female HCWs tended to be associated with burnout differently. Both sexes showed alarming burnout levels, even if the weights of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization acted in different ways between the sexes. The revealed paradoxical effects in this study could reflect the study's cross-sectional nature, highlighting that more resilient and empathic individuals were more consciously overwhelmed by the challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reporting higher scores of emotional exhaustion and burnout. Future in-depth and longitudinal analyses are recommended to further explore sex-related differences in burnout among HCWs.</p>

Association Between Menstrual Cycle Disturbances and COVID-19 Vaccination Among Women in Saudi Arabia: A National Cross-Sectional Study
<p>After COVID-19 vaccination, women who had received one or more doses of COVID-19 vaccination reported a higher scores describing average and worst menstrual pain. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the association of COVID-19 vaccination with menstrual cycle changes among women living in KSA . Our results illustrated that (61.5%) of the total sample had a menstrual cycle irregularity after the COVID-19 vaccination particularly, high rate after the third dose by about (32.7%). Of them, (88.3%) referred these changes to the vaccine rather than the infection, with different reported possible reasons, among most important reasons; the changes they actually experienced after COVID-19 vaccines even though the period was regular before the vaccine (66.8%), these changes were resolved spontaneously without the need to visit the hospital. This can be linked to the psychological status, as it was noticed and reported in our investigation that there was a significant improvement in the psychological status after the lockdown than it was during the lockdown with (p=0.013), the certain relationship is not fully clear yet but our findings might be helpful to be utilized for further future studies to understand the underlying mechanisms for these associations.</p>
Health professionals' experiences and views on obstetric ultrasound in Rwanda: a cross-sectional study
<p>The uploaded data were collected through a cross-sectional questionnaire study, undertaken between November 2016 and March 2017, as part of the <strong>CRO</strong>ss <strong>C</strong>ountry <strong>U</strong>ltra<strong>S</strong>ound Study (CROCUS). The questionnaires were adressed to obstetricians/physicians and midwives/nurses providing pregnancy and delivery services to women in Rwanda (N=907). Data were collected at 108 health facilities located in both rural and urban areas of Rwanda, including provincial, referral, district and private hospitals as well as health centres. The questionnaire included items on socio-demographic characteristics, ultrasound resources and training, self-rated skills with ultrasound, and views on what may improve utilisation of ultrasound. </p> <p> </p>
The cross-sectional interview data on immigrant economic adaptation in Finland
<p>The qualitative interview data were gathered during 2016–2017 in Finland in order to investigate the connection between the labour market position of immigrants and their well-being and livelihood as well as the significance of economic adaptation to their overall acculturation to the new society. The data were collected under the Occupational Restructuring Challenges Competencies research project funded by the Strategic Research Council at the Academy of Finland (project number 303536).</p> <p>A total of 41 immigrants (aged 19–64) from various educational backgrounds were interviewed. The data include interviews with five groups based on their country of origin or the reason behind their migration. The groups are immigrants from Western countries, immigrants from the area of the former Soviet Union, immigrants from Eastern Europe, and immigrants with refugee backgrounds who, at the time of the study, had lived in Finland for a longer period. The fifth group consists of well-educated Iraqis who had migrated to Finland recently as asylum seekers and were granted asylum or subsidiary protection in Finland. Although the representatives of these five groups had resided in Finland for different lengths of time, they all had gained at least some experience of labour market integration in Finland.</p> <p>The interviewees were recruited from various events targeted at immigrants, with the help of immigrant-oriented foundations and personal contacts, as well as by using the snowball sampling technique. The data were collected by conducting semi-structured individual and focus group interviews. The structure of the interviews somewhat varied according to the labour market status (employed, inadequately employed or unemployed) of the interviewees. The data describe, e.g., the participants' experiences of their psychological, socio-psychological, socio-cultural and economic adaptation in Finland, particularly how challenges in finding work and other employment related difficulties faced in Finland had affected their acculturation process. Moreover, the data describe their ways of making ends meet in Finland, their need for financial assistance and attitude towards take-up of social benefits, as well as their experiences of welfare traps.</p>
Cognitive Fusion and Emotional Eating among Adolescents with Obesity: A Preliminary Cross-Sectional Study
<p>Cognitive fusion and avoidance are supposed to exert a key role in the development and maintenance of disordered eating behaviors related to obesity, such as emotional eating. A large portion of the research has focused on adult populations, while few data are available on adolescents so far. The current cross-sectional study is intended to explore the association between cognitive fusion, avoidance, and emotional eating in a sample of fifty-six Italian adolescents (13–17 years) with obesity (body mass index > 97th centile). For this purpose, participants attending a 3-week body weight reduction program were assessed using demographical, physical, and clinical data. A multivariate linear regression model was performed in order to preliminarily investigate the predictive role of cognitive fusion on emotional eating, controlling for possible confounding factors. Results showed a significant association between cognitive fusion and emotional eating. Regression revealed that cognitive fusion was a significant contributor for explaining emotional eating (controlling for sex) [R2 = 0.551; Adjusted R2 = 0.534; F(2,53) = 32.5; p < 0.001]. Even if preliminary, our findings suggest a predictive role of cognitive fusion on emotional eating, and also suggest that cognitive fusion can be considered a key component in understanding and addressing of disordered eating behaviors related to obesity. Future replications are required to expand the sample and collect longitudinal data. Intervention programs for childhood obesity could benefit from this line of research.</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 “Psychiatric Symptoms and Emotional Repercussions of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Italian Adolescents: Third Lockdown Survey” .</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) 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>
Diabesity in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-sectional Study Exploring Self-care and Its Determinants.
<p>Baroni I, Caruso R, Dellafiore F, Arrigoni C, Fabrizi D, Luciani M, Rebora P, Ausili D. Diabesity in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-sectional Study Exploring Self-care and Its Determinants. Can J Diabetes. 2022 Apr 7:S1499-2671(22)00072-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jcjd.2022.03.009. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 35927172.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p><strong>Objectives: </strong>The purpose of this study was to describe self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, self-care management and self-care self-efficacy in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and body mass index (BMI)<30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and adults with T2DM and BMI≥30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> ("diabesity"), and to identify their clinical and sociodemographic determinants. Self-care is one of the main treatments for adults with T2DM. However, self-care has been poorly described in people with diabesity, and differences in clinical and sociodemographic determinants of self-care between patients with diabesity and patients with T2DM and BMI<30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> have, to our knowledge, not been assessed.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>A secondary analysis was performed of sociodemographic and clinical data using a multicentre, observational, cross-sectional design, wherein 540 adults diagnosed with T2DM were included in a consecutive and convenience sampling procedure.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Self-care maintenance and management were significantly lower among patients with diabesity (p<0.001 and p=0.025, respectively). Among patients with diabesity, low income (relative risk [RR]=3.27, p=0.01) and presence of diabetic neuropathy (RR=4.16; p=0.03) were strongly associated with inadequate self-care maintenance; completion of high school (RR=0.45; p=0.01), availability of a family caregiver (RR=0.52; p=0.04) and the use of insulin as the main treatment (RR=2.09; p=0.01) decreased the likelihood of inadequate self-care monitoring.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The unfavourable behavioural profile of patients with diabesity could be further worsened by their lower level of confidence in performing adequate self-care.</p>
Psoas Cross-Sectional Measurements Using Manual CT Segmentation before and after Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR).
<p>Monti CB, Righini P, Bonanno MC, Capra D, Mazzaccaro D, Giannetta M, Nicolino GM, Nano G, Sardanelli F, Marrocco-Trischitta MM, Secchi F. Psoas Cross-Sectional Measurements Using Manual CT Segmentation before and after Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR). J Clin Med. 2022 Jul 12;11(14):4023. doi: 10.3390/jcm11144023. PMID: 35887786; PMCID: PMC9325160.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p>Sarcopenia has been associated with an increased incidence of adverse outcomes, including higher mortality, after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). We aim to use computed tomography (CT) to quantify changes in total psoas muscles area (PMA) and psoas muscle density (PMD) after EVAR, and to evaluate the reproducibility of both measurements. PMA and PMD were assessed via manual segmentation of the psoas muscle on pre- and post-operative CT scans belonging to consecutive patients who underwent EVAR. Wilcoxon test was used to compare PMA and PMD before and after EVAR, and inter- and intra-reader agreements of both methods were evaluated through Bland-Altman analysis. A total of 50 patients, 42 of them males (84%), were included in the study. PMA changes from 1243 mm<sup>2</sup> (1006-1445 mm<sup>2</sup>) to 1102 mm<sup>2</sup> (IQR 937-1331 mm<sup>2</sup>), after EVAR (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). PMD did not vary between pre-EVAR (33 HU, IQR 26.5-38.7 HU) and post-EVAR (32 HU, IQR 26-37 HU, <em>p</em> = 0.630). At inter-reader Bland-Altman analysis, PMA showed a bias of 64.0 mm<sup>2</sup> and a coefficient of repeatability (CoR) of 359.2 mm<sup>2</sup>, whereas PMD showed a bias of -2.43 HU and a CoR of 6.19 HU. At intra-reader Bland-Altman analysis, PMA showed a bias of -81.1 mm<sup>2</sup> and a CoR of 394.6 mm<sup>2</sup>, whereas PMD showed a bias of 1.41 HU and a CoR of 6.36 HU. In conclusion, PMA decreases after EVAR. A good intra and inter-reader reproducibility was observed for both PMA and PMD. We thus propose to use PMA during the follow-up of patients who underwent EVAR to monitor muscle depletion after surgery.</p>
The family caregiving environment associates with adolescent patients' severity of eating disorder and interpersonal problems: a cross-sectional study
<p><strong>Introduction</strong>. This database includes the raw data linked with the paper <em>The family caregiving environment associates with adolescent patients’ severity of eating disorder and interpersonal problems: a cross-sectional study.</em></p> <p>In this paper, we reported sociodemographic features, family history of any DSM-5 psychiatric disorder, personal history of any DSM-5 psychiatric disorder, life events, Restrictive Eating Disorder (RED) severity, and psychopathological assessment. We aimed to explore how adolescent patients’ interactive behaviours observed during the Lausanne Trilogue Play clinical version (LTPc) were associated with both RED severity and interpersonal problems. Futhermore, we aimed to explore the association of RED disease and interpersonal problems with specific functioning levels observed with LTPc.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>. We enrolled 60 female adolescent patients (12-18), with a diagnosis of RED and confirmed by K-SADS, who compiled Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-3) questionnaire to assess RED severity using the Eating Disorder Risk Composite (EDRC) and Interpersonal Problems Composite (IPC) subscales. In addition, patients and their parents took part in the LTPc and patients’ interactive behaviours were coded as Participation, Organization, smolinariFocal Attention, and Affective Contact in all the LTPc four phases.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>. A significant association emerged between patients; interactive behaviours during the LTPc triadic phase and both EDRC and IPC. Better patients’ OrganizatioN and Affective Contact significantly correlated with lower RED severity and fewer interpersonal problems. These findings suggest that investigating the quality of family relationships and patients’ interactive behaviours may contribute to better identifying adolescent patients at risk for more severe conditions.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Risk of Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity in Women: A Cross-Sectional Study
<p>Some obese individuals do not present any metabolic alteration and are considered metabolically healthy (MHO). Adherence to high-quality dietary pattern may favor this phenotype. We aimed to evaluate the association between the adherence to the Mediterranean diet and risk of metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) in women. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 2,115 obese women. All patients underwent a medical examination, anthropometric evaluation, bioelectrical impedance, ultrasound measurements of abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) fat, blood sampling and evaluation of adherence to the Mediterranean diet through MEDAS questionnaire. The diagnosis of MHO and MUO was made using the harmonized criteria. A multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, BMI, fat free mass, ultrasound estimated VAT:SAT ratio, marital status, education, past diet, antidepressant use, family history of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, menopausal status, smoking, and physical activity was used to assess the association between Mediterranean diet and MUO risk. The prevalence of MHO was 21.2% (N = 449). Compared to MUO women, MHO women were younger, had lower BMI and VAT, and had higher fat free mass and SAT. In the multivariable model, the adherence to the Mediterranean diet was not associated with the risk of MUO (OR = 0.91, 95%CI: 0.62; 1.34, P = 0.624). Given the impact of menopause on metabolic health we also carried out the analysis in pre- and post-menopausal women separately. Higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of MUO in postmenopausal women (OR = 0.55, 95%CI: 0.31; 0.96, P = 0.034). No association was found in premenopausal women (OR = 1.18, 95%CI: 0.70; 1.99, P = 0.532). In conclusion, adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a better metabolic health in postmenopausal women. Further studies are needed to confirm the ability of the Mediterranean diet in promoting maintenance of the healthy phenotype and reversion from MUO.</p>
Assessment of fat-free mass from bioelectrical impedance analysis in men and women with Prader-Willi syndrome: cross-sectional study
<p>We have recently shown that population-specific formulae are required to estimate fat-free mass (FFM) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in obese women with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) matched by age and percent fat mass (FM) to non-PWS women. The present cross-sectional study was aimed at developing generalised BIA equations that could be used in PWS subjects independently of sex and FM. We used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure FFM and BIA to measure whole-body impedance at 50 kHz (Z<sub>50</sub>) in 34 women and 21 men with PWS. The impedance index, that is, height (cm)<sup>2</sup>/Z<sub>50</sub> (Ω), explained 77% (BCa-bootstrapped 95% CI 65 to 85%) of the variance of FFM with a root mean squared error of the estimate of 3.7 kg (BCa-bootstrapped 95% CI 3.2 to 4.5 kg). BIA can be used to estimate FFM in obese and non-obese PWS men and women by means of population-specific equations.</p>
