Study patients were recruited from July 2014 to April 2015 in the Emergency Departments (EDs) of four Italian university hospitals (Careggi University Hospital, Firenze; San Luigi Gonzaga University Hospital, Torino; San Paolo University Hospital, Milano; University Hospital of Perugia).	cache/ecj-13779.pdf	txt/ecj-13779.txt
