Murlo: Influenza suina e vaccino, quello che i giornali e i Tg non dicono

The plan of the Hospital Bambino Gesù of Rome is the setting for a "big brother" of epidemiology. More than 200 people - including patients, medical staff and visitors - will wear until the end of the chips that record their location and their contacts face to face. The aim of the experiment, sponsored by the Institute of Scientific Interchange (ISI) in Torino, the Istituto Superiore di Sanita (ISS) and the Roman hospital, is to measure the proximity between people affects the spread of diseases, especially the overhead transmission and hospital infections.
"The experiment is a world first," says Ciro Catto, head of the study for the ISI. So far, the analysis of this type were much more imprecise, because they were based on questionnaires and diaries, explains the researcher. "Now we can accurately measure the intensity of contacts between all the people who are in that hospital floor," says Catherine Rizzo, a representative of the ISS study. "In addition, the presence of chip distributors sanitizing gel will assess the frequency and duration of hand washing," says Alberto Tozzi, Infant Jesus Hospital physician who coordinates the field experiment.
The researchers point out that the study was planned taking into consideration the privacy and so that it impedes the normal clinical activity. Also clear that low power chips poses no problem of electromagnetic pollution. The experiment is part of SocioPatterns, a research project designed by Cyrus Bad. In the past year, the group of researchers studied the same method as the social interaction mediated by the presence face to face in very different contexts: from a science conference in a kindergarten.
During the experiment now, about 250 chips will be distributed to all persons who come into one of the plans of pediatrics of the Infant Jesus, a hundred of whom are patients. These active RFID devices, a little over a stamp, placed in an airtight bag, and a two-way radio that communicates with a system of receivers the position of the wearer. "This technology, patented by the ISO, can detect when two people interact face to face at a distance of less than one meter, even for a time only 15 seconds," says Bad.
The data collected are then crossed with the information contained in patient records. "The hospital infections are a nightmare for health because they lengthen the hospital stay and create complications," says Alberto Tozzi. The doctor hopes that the study makes it possible to quantify the effect on these diseases, certain measures such as hand-washing practices, and to identify critical situations in which to apply ad hoc measures.
"The presence of cases of influenza A, which appeared during the experiment by chance, might give us valuable information," says Rizzo. According to the research, the data could be used to understand and contain the virus. For example, one could estimate how long should two people away for fear they may infect each other. "However, the main information that can be extracted from the measures is the intensity of the relationship between the different actors of a hospital: doctors, paramedics, nurses, visitors, etc.," says Bad. So far, this information could be obtained only loosely, with questionnaires. "With the new data, we move from general recommendations tailored to the particulars," said Tozzi.
Guido Bertolini, an epidemiologist at the Mario Negri, Enrico Girardi, Director of the Department of Hospital Epidemiology Spallanzani (Rome), both without direct relationship with the group that promotes the experiment, they recognize that this is an innovative approach. "I do not believe that face to face interaction changes the overall picture of the spread of epidemics - Bertolini says - but will clarify many doubts, if the number of patients studied is enough". For example, would assess the effect of the use of the mask. "You can quantify so far unknown parameters, such as the exposure time required for the infection," says Girardi.
After the test the Child Jesus, the promoters of the experiment would be replicated at larger scales and times. "Some staff has suggested that the measures are used to estimate the loads of work - says Tozzi - but the continuous recording of movements in a hospital is not an immediate prospect." However, researchers have adopted different strategies to ensure privacy. The chip identifies only the workers in their class, not their personal identity data of patients are managed in the same precautions of their medical records and the ethics committee of the center approved the protocol.
