Miriam Levi, Ettore Marconi, Monica Simonetti, Claudio Cricelli, more

Health & Social Care in the Community > 27 > 5 > e663 - e671

Non‐deferrable medical conditions (NDMC) are clinical entities other than exacerbations of chronic diseases which are too frequently managed by emergency departments. The primary care setting would be indeed the ideal environment to proficiently treat them. Few studies have investigated the epidemiology of NDMC in primary care, especially in Italy. With the aim to better identify NDMC sufferers, we...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and risk of cerebrovascular events in patients with osteoarthritis: a nested case–control study

Francesco Lapi, Carlo Piccinni, Monica Simonetti, Miriam Levi, more

Internal and Emergency Medicine > 2016 > 11 > 1 > 49-59

Recent studies show that the risk of cardiovascular adverse events for certain traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is similar to that of rofecoxib. While these results are focused on ischemic cardiomyopathy, there is little evidence concerning the risk of ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack and hemorrhagic stroke. Additionally, there is no information on nimesulide and...
