Differences between country-specific guidelines for economic evaluations complicate the execution of international evaluations. The aim this study was to develop cross-European recommendations identification, measurement and valuation resource use lost productivity in using a Delphi procedure.A comprehensive literature search conducted identify European on or costing studies as part Guideline were extracted by two independent reviewers formed basis first round study, which among health...
IntroductionThe National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) provides mammograms diagnostic services for low-income, uninsured women aged 40–64 years. Mammography facilities within the NBCCEDP gradually shifted from plain-film to digital mammography. The purpose of this study is assess impact replacing film with mammography on health effects (deaths averted, life-years gained [LYG]); costs (for screening diagnostics); number reached.MethodsNBCCEDP 2010 data...
Europe’s ageing society leads to an increased demand for long-term care, thereby putting a strain on the sustainability of health care systems. The ‘Identifying best practices care-dependent elderly by Benchmarking Costs and outcomes Community Care’ (IBenC) project aims develop new benchmark methodology based quality cost utilization identify in home care. study’s baseline data, methodology, rationale are reported. Home organizations Belgium, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands,...
The interRAI-Home Care (interRAI-HC) instrument is commonly used in routine care to assess and service needs, resource utilisation health outcomes of community dwelling home clients. Potentially, the interRAI-HC can also be calculate societal costs economic evaluations. purpose this study was convergent validity comparison with RUD Lite for calculation among care-dependent older adults.A within-subject design used. Participants were 65 years received professional five countries. administered...
Abstract The use of MRI and arthroscopy are considered low-value care in most patients with degenerative knee disease. To reduce these modalities, there have been multiple efforts to increase awareness. Reductions shown for general hospitals (GH), but it is unclear whether this may be partly explained by a shift receiving modalities independent treatment centers (ITCs). aims study were assess (i) the trend disease differs between ITCs GH, (ii) Dutch raise awareness on recommendations...
The objective was to identify predictors of societal costs covering formal and informal care utilization by older home clients in 11 European countries.Societal 1907 receiving for 12 months from the Aged Home (AdHoc) study were estimated using InterRAI Minimum Data Set Care's (MDS-HC) resource use items. Predictors (medical, functional, psychosocial domains) identified performing univariate multivariate generalized linear model analyses.Mean per participant €36 442, ranging €14 865 Denmark...
Most countries aim to allocate home health care those in need a fair and equal way. Equal allocation implies that the amount of person receives would reflect level impairment for resources. It is not clear whether succeed attaining this. Our objective was explore signs (un)equal provisioning across organizations European countries. We used data IBenC study collected from 2718 older community recipients 33 6 Western (www.ibenc.eu). benchmarked differences provided expected formal time...
This study aims to develop and validate a prediction model of societal costs during period 6-months in older community care-recipients across multiple European countries. Participants were from 5 The outcome measure was mean total resource utilisation (healthcare informal care). Potential predictors included sociodemographic characteristics, functional limitations, clinical conditions, diseases/disorders. developed by performing Linear Mixed Models with random intercept for the effect...
This study aims to benchmark mean societal costs per client in different home care models and describe characteristics of with the lowest costs. In this prospective longitudinal 6 European countries, 6-month resource utilization 2060 older clients were estimated. Three identified compared based on level patient-centered (PCC), availability specialized professionals (ASP) monitoring performance (MCP). Differences between analyzed using linear regression while adjusting for case mix...
