Overview

Observational study compares migrant identification methods and their impact on health profiles in Central Italy, suggesting important health policy implications.

Key Points

  • To compare two migrant identification criteria and assess their impact on demographic and health status estimates among residents in the Marche region.
  • Conducted a population-based observational study in the Marche Region from 2011 to 2023.
  • Used Healthcare Utilization Databases including Regional Beneficiaries Database, Hospital Discharge Records, and Drug Prescriptions Database.
  • Migrants were classified based on country of birth and citizenship criteria and health status was evaluated using the Multisource Comorbidity Score.
  • 88.6% of residents were identified as Ital-Marche using the RBD birth criterion, versus 92.1% using the citizenship criterion.
  • High Migratory Pressure Countries (HMPC) residents showed a more favorable health status profile with 67% having Multisource Comorbidity Score (MCS) of 0 compared to 45% of Ita-Marche residents.
  • Agreement between identification methods was moderate, with Cohen's k ranging from 0.67 to 0.70.
