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. 7 [Digitare il testo] Laboratory FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH Via G.

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. . 1.2 – THE STAFF Laboratory Head Maurizio BONATI, MD Scientists Marina BIANCHI, MD PhD (part-time 75%) Rita CAMPI, STAT.

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. ‒ ‒ 15 LABORATORY FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH − 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. (http://www.tinn-project.org/) 16 REPORT 2014 LABORATORY FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH 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.

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%). 17 LABORATORY FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH REPORT 2014 INTERVENTIONS/CITATIONS IN THE MEDIA AND MASS MEDIA IlGiornale.it Deficit attenzione ed iperattività, sovrastimata l'incidenza Redazione Salute (http://salute.ilgiornale.it/news/20676/studio-adhd-incidenza-negri-istituto/1.html) Mi-Lorenteggio.com Studio Regione Lombardia e Istituto Mario Negri - Ma dove sono tutti questi bambini iperattivi?

The technical and organisational support for carrying out socio-sanitary projects in countries with limited resources continues. 19 LABORATORY FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH REPORT 2014 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..

The initiative is aimed at providing mothers with information on their children’s health through the creation of informational pamphlets distributed in pharmacies throughout the Lombardy Region. The pamphlets have been published on Ricerca & Pratica (www.ricercaepratica.it) Features: 2005: 2006: 2007: 2008: 2009: 2010: 2011: 2012: 2013: Acido Folico; Viaggiare in Auto - La cinetosi Febbre tosse mal d’orecchio; Vacanza al mare - sole; Vomito diarrea; Punture d’insetto; La pediculosi; Malattie Infettive - 1 PARTE Malattie Infettive - 2 PARTE; Vitamine e Neonati; Stipsi; Ossiuri; Influenza Celiachia; Impetigine; Acari e Allergie; HPV – Papilloma virus; Scabbia; Dermatite Acne;Verruche; Congiuntivite; Micosi; Le Influenze; Allattamento e Farmaci Nati per leggere; Bambini e TV; Mononucleosi; Bambini e Internet; Epilessia e Maternità; Coliche nel Neonato; Depressione post parto SIDS – Morte in culla; Incidenti domestici; Nati per la musica; Igiene dentale; Sicurezza in bici, Sicurezza in moto Piedibus; Per una buona notte; Asma; La febbre nel bambino; Psoriasi Alimentazione e gravidanza; Sport e bambini; Controlli in gravidanza; Medicine e bambini; Lavarsi le mani 2014 Laringospasmo Dolore nel bambino Svezzamento ADHD (deficit di attenzione) Autismo scheda 48 scheda 49 scheda 50 scheda 51 scheda 52 http://www.marionegri.it/mn/it/servizi/mamma.html 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. 21 LABORATORY FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH REPORT 2014 c) ADHD NEWSLETTER The publication of ADHDNEWS continues. It is a laboratory initiative aimed mainly at providing a monthly bibliographic update of the recent scientific literature to those interested. By December 2014, 86 issues of the newsletter had been published and sent to the 530 people registered (154 child psychiatrists, 98 psychologists, 84 medical doctors, 36 paediatricians, 35 members of school staff, and 123 “others”) and 5953 scientific studies had been reported. The newsletter is available on the Mario Negri’s website: http://www.marionegri.it/it_IT/home/medico/ricerca_clinica/registri_patologia/registro_adhd/Newsletter_ADHD and in: ADHD.marionegri.it d) ORGANIZATION OF EVENTS - I PEDAL FOR RESEARCH (IO PEDALO PER LA RICERCA) The Laboratory participated in organizing the second edition of the bike event "IO PEDALO PER LA RICERCA" (I pedal for research), which was held on Sunday, 11th May 2014; the initiative with the support the city of Milan. About 200 cyclists, between institute staff and friends, biked through downtown Milan in order to highlight the importance of the development of, and support for, scientific research for the health and wellness of all. A gazebo was set up along the route, near the Parco Montanelli in Via Palestro, where informational material on the institute’s activities was distributed. The beautiful day, passersby heading to Orticola (the plant fair), and the larger city-wide initiative, contributed to the visibility of the IO PEDALO PER LA RICERCA bike event, and therefore of the institute. 22 REPORT 2014 LABORATORY FOR MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH - 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.

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.

Negri Institute" and based at Villa Camozzi - Ranica (Bergamo) - Italy. CESAV is primarily a research centre, but also does educational work. The main areas of research are: Economic Evaluation of Health Care Programs (i.e. assessment of costs and benefits of alternative health care treatments and services); Comparative Health Policy Analysis (i.e. study of domestic and foreign health care systems, in particular aimed at identifying possible innovations for European countries). 2.2 – THE STAFF Laboratory Head Livio GARATTINI, ECON D Research Fellow Alessandro CURTO, ECON D Specialist in Biomedical Research Silvy DURANTI, ECON D Specialist in Biomedical Research Katelijne VAN DE VOOREN, PHARM D Visiting Scientists Gianluigi CASADEI, MD Paola DE COMPADRI, ECON D Simone GHISLANDI, ECON POL D 32 REPORT 2014 CESAV 2.3 - PUBLICATIONS 2.3.1 – PUBLICATIONS IN PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS Curto A, Garattini L.

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. 34 REPORT 2014 CESAV 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. 35 CESAV REPORT 2014 a) CONGRESS, SEMINARS, MEETINGS … During 2014 the CESAV organized: CONGRESS: Drug Economics Between technical solutions and political decisions The annual meeting, organized by the Centro di Economia Sanitaria A. e A. Valenti and this year held on 21-22 May in Ranica, Bergamo, 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 To watch the slideshow of the event follow the link: http://www.quadernidifarmacoeconomia.com/video/video2014.html Meeting: 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. 36 REPORT 2014 CESAV 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. .

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. 3.2 - THE STAFF Laboratory Head Guido BERTOLINI, MD Scientists Obou BRISSY, IT D Greta CARRARA, IT ENG Consulent Daniele CRESPI, IT Joanne FLEMING, DOTT.

Bergamo: Edizioni Sestante, 2014. 44 REPORT 2014 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. 46 REPORT 2014 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. 47 LABORATORY OF CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY REPORT 2014 a) CONGRESS, SEMINARS, MEETINGS … WORKSHOP: 1.

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 4.2 - THE STAFF Laboratory Head Paola MOSCONI, BIOL D Research Fellow Cinzia COLOMBO, PHILOS D Anna ROBERTO, NEUROBIOL D Specialista in Ricerca Biomedica Assistent Gianna COSTA Secretary 57 LABORATORY OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT REPORT 2014 4.3 - PUBLICATIONS 4.3.1 – PUBLICATIONS IN PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS Colombo C, Mosconi P.

Atti del Convegno XII Convention d’Autunno dei ricercatori in fibrosi cistica, Garda (Vr) 27/-29 novembre 2014 pag. 32 n. 28. 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. http://www.partecipasalute.it/cms_2/giurie-cittadini/prostata/fibrosi2014 60 REPORT 2014 LABORATORY OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT 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. 61 LABORATORY OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT REPORT 2014 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: http://crc.marionegri.it/qol 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.

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). 63 LABORATORY OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT f) REPORT 2014 OTHER BOARDS The Laboratory is also present in the committees of several research projects, as: – “Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of high dose of folic acid to prevent the occurrence of congenital malformations “Trial folico AIFA”, Ulss 4 “Alto Vicentino” – “Migliorare la sintesi dei risultati della ricerca sui trattamenti nella sclerosi multipla per il loro utilizzo nella pratica clinica e per influenzare l'agenda della ricerca futura”, Centro Cochrane Italiano – “La prevenzione e la gestione dell’emorragia del post-partum”, Istituto Superiore di Sanità (National Health Institute) – Supporting Informed Healthcare Choices in Low Income Countries (SIHCLIC), funded by the Norwegian Research Council. 4.5.2 – CONFERENCES, WORKSHOPS, PRESENTATIONS, … February ECRAN PROJECT: TOOLS, MATERIALS AND DISSEMINATION.
