Gastrentrological clinical trials in Italy: an association study on regional economic factors and healthcare system efficiency
Regional disparities in CT accessibility are driven by economic inequality and uneven healthcare infrastructure. Targeted policies to increase funding, expand IRCCS networks in southern Italy, and promote equitable resource allocation are urgently needed. CT distribution may serve as a novel indicator of healthcare system performance. Addressing these imbalances is vital to ensuring equitable patient access to innovative therapies and optimizing the NHS's research capacity nationwide.
