The current Survey was conducted on a sample of about 5,000 adult subjects in 5 Italian cities. A questionnaire, containing 15 questions, was administered on the road. RS affects about 20% of the general population. The most common diagnostic test was the skull x-ray. Antibiotics were the most frequently prescribed therapy. In conclusion, the current Survey demonstrated that RS is a common disorder in Italy, the diagnostic work-up is still incorrect, and the therapeutic approach does not adhere to the guidelines. Therefore, there is a need to implement adequate information on this topic in Italy.</p>}, number={1-S}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Passali, Desiderio and Damiani, Valerio and Passali, Giulio Cesare and Cassano, Pasquale and Piemonte, Marco and Ciprandi, Giorgio}, year={2020}, month={Feb.}, pages={28–35} }
