Research Article: First National Analysis of Severe Obesity Hospitalizations in Italy: Insights from Discharge Card Database

Date Published: 2024-02-23

Abstract:
Background: Obesity is associated with numerous severe diseases necessitating intensive healthcare for diagnosis and treatment. Most patients with obesity, especially in its severe form, require at least one hospitalization. However, few studies in Italy have assessed the burden of obesity on the National Health System. This study aims to routinely estimate the ‘disease burden’ by analyzing hospital admissions related to severe obesity.
