Cost-effectiveness of pulse-echo ultrasonometry in osteoporosis management
- OPEN
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published 8 months ago
- Discuss
Osteoporosis is asymptomatic morbidity of the elderly which develops slowly over several years. Osteoporosis diagnosis has typically involved Fracture Risk Assessment (FRAX) followed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in specialist care. Point-of-care pulse-echo ultrasound (PEUS) was developed to overcome DXA-related access issues and to enable faster fracture prevention treatment (FPT) initiation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of two proposed osteoporosis management (POMs: FRAX→PEUS-if-needed→DXA-if-needed→FPT-if-needed) pathways including PEUS compared with the current osteoporosis management (FRAX→DXA-if-needed→FPT-if-needed).

Patient-reported financial barriers to adherence to treatment in neurology
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published about 2 years ago
- Discuss
Many effective medical therapies are available for treating neurological diseases, but these therapies tend to be expensive and adherence is critical to their effectiveness. We used patient-reported data to examine the frequency and determinants of financial barriers to medication adherence among individuals treated for neurological disorders.

Estimating the health care burden of prescription opioid abuse in five European countries
- OPEN
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published over 3 years ago
- Discuss
Opioid abuse, including abuse of prescription opioids (“RxOs”) and illicit substances like heroin, is a serious public health issue in Europe. Currently, there is limited data on the magnitude of RxO abuse in Europe, despite increasing public and scientific interest in the issue. The purpose of this study was to use the best-available data to derive comparable estimates of the health care burden of RxO abuse in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom (EU5).

Cost-effectiveness analysis of online hemodiafiltration versus high-flux hemodialysis
- OPEN
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
Clinical studies suggest that hemodiafiltration (HDF) may lead to better clinical outcomes than high-flux hemodialysis (HF-HD), but concerns have been raised about the cost-effectiveness of HDF versus HF-HD. Aim of this study was to investigate whether clinical benefits, in terms of longer survival and better health-related quality of life, are worth the possibly higher costs of HDF compared to HF-HD.

A systematic review of the effectiveness of taxes on nonalcoholic beverages and high-in-fat foods as a means to prevent obesity trends
- OPEN
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published over 5 years ago
- Discuss
As part of the efforts to curb obesity, a new focus seems to be put on taxing foods that are perceived as being associated with obesity (eg, sugar-sweetened beverages and foods high in fat, sugar, and salt content) as a policy instrument to promote healthier diets.

- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published 8 months ago
- Discuss
To determine the cost-effectiveness of utilizing point-of-care testing (POCT) on the Abbott i-STAT device as a support tool to aid decisions regarding the emergency medical retrievals of patients at remote health centers in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia.

Economic impact of longer battery life of cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators in Sweden
- OPEN
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
The objective of this study was to quantify the impact that longer battery life of cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) devices has on reducing the number of device replacements and associated costs of these replacements from a Swedish health care system perspective.

Annual impact of scribes on physician productivity and revenue in a cardiology clinic
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published over 3 years ago
- Discuss
Scribes are increasingly being used in clinics to assist physicians with documentation during patient care. The annual effect of scribes in a real-world clinic on physician productivity and revenue has not been evaluated.

Estimating the economic consequences of an increased medication adherence due to a potential improvement in the inhaler technique with Spiromax(®) compared with Turbuhaler(®) in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Spain
- OPEN
- ClinicoEconomics and outcomes research : CEOR
- Published almost 2 years ago
- Discuss
The objective of this study was to estimate the economic impact of the introduction of DuoResp(®) Spiromax(®), budesonide/formoterol fixed-dose combination (FDC), focusing on an increase in medication adherence due to an enhancement of the inhalation technique for the treatment of COPD patients in Spain and 5 regions including Andalusia, Catalonia, Galicia, Madrid, and Valencia.
