Overview

Stefano Volpato is affiliated with the University of Ferrara in Italy and has contributed extensively to research in the field of medicine with a particular focus on geriatrics and gerontology. Their body of work spans several interconnected subfields including critical care and intensive care medicine, physiology, infectious diseases, and cardiology and cardiovascular medicine.

The primary themes explored in their research cover frailty in older adults, intensive care unit cognitive disorders, nutrition and health in aging, the long-term effects of COVID-19, COVID-19 clinical research studies, geriatric care and nursing homes, and hip and femur fractures.

Some of the notable recent papers authored by Stefano Volpato include:

  • "Perioperative Management of Elderly patients (PriME): recommendations from an Italian intersociety consensus" (2020) in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research
  • "Prevalence and impact of polypharmacy in older patients with type 2 diabetes" (2022) in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research
  • "Exercise intervention improves quality of life in older adults after myocardial infarction: randomised clinical trial" (2020) in Heart
  • "A Frail Health Care System for an Old Population: Lesson form the COVID-19 Outbreak in Italy" (2020) in The Journals of Gerontology Series A
  • "Acetyl-cholinesterase-inhibitors slow cognitive decline and decrease overall mortality in older patients with dementia" (2022) in Scientific Reports

Stefano Volpato has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including:

  • Caterina Trevisan
  • Raffaele Antonelli Incalzi
  • Giuseppe Bellelli
  • Stefano Fumagalli
  • Fabio Monzani

The most frequent venues for publication include:

  • Aging Clinical and Experimental Research
  • BMC Geriatrics
  • Journal of Gerontology and Geriatrics
  • European Geriatric Medicine
  • Journal of Clinical Medicine

Stefano Volpato's research contributes to understanding complex issues related to aging populations, particularly addressing clinical care challenges such as perioperative management, polypharmacy, cognitive decline, and the healthcare impact of infectious diseases like COVID-19. Their work integrates clinical trials and observational studies reflective of current priorities in geriatric health and healthcare system readiness for older populations.
