Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute diseases play a very significant role in the global population in terms of mortality and disability. The factors that may influence patient outcomes are numerous and may be related to environmental, organisational and epidemiological factors. In recent years, the study of these diseases has been strongly influenced by COVID-19; however, in the light of the reduced pandemic spread, we would like to share this Special Issue, aiming to amass a collection of the latest advancements in the field of acute diseases and of epidemiological investigations.
This Special Issue is relevant as there is a need for an epidemiological update on various acute diseases—such as stroke, heart attack, major trauma and cardiac arrest—especially considering the new environmental and organisational evidence that has been accumulated in recent years, particularly in the context of the integration of organisational elements into clinical guidelines.
Articles related to the epidemiology of acute diseases, with a focus on emergency medical system organisation and clinical outcomes, are welcome. In addition, research on the following public health elements related to these topics will be sought after: health literacy of the general population, population-based interventions to prevent mortality from these diseases and information campaigns.
