O022. Migraineurs: seriously ill or basically healthy?

Materials and methods We evaluated prospectively the prevalence of some comorbidities in the first 1,000 migraine patients (aged 15-65 years), classified according to the IHS diagnostic criteria, presenting to the Headache Center (HC) in the period 2011 to 2013 and resident in the district of the Empoli Health Authority (HA11). In addition to a detailed semistructured face to face interview, health information was researched in the database of specialist visits, hospitalization or the Emergency Department. Drug prescription rates of the HA11 pharmaceutical database (PD) of 155,829 residents aged 15-65 years were also analyzed, as were the subgroup of 1,108 triptan users. To increase the strength of the study, the data was compared to a large database of Health Search (HS) of the Research Institute of the Italian Society of General Practice, to which general practitioners contributed with shared modalities for the regular and complete recording of the principal health data [2].
