An 'Easter effect' has pushed the
weekly number of hospital admissions up by 3.5% over the last
week, the Italian federation of health and hospital firms
(FIASO) said on data from its 'sentinel' hospitals Wednesday.
In the week from April 19 to 26, FIASO said, the overall number
of admissions was up 3.5%, following a fall of 5.3% in the
previous week.
Admissions to ordinary wards were up even higher, 4.8%.
But admissions to intensive care units (ICUs) fell by 20% in the
same week, FIASO said.
