Abstract Background Febrile neutropenia (FN) occurs in 80-90% of haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplants (haplo-HCT), but most patients do not have documented infections. Empiric antibiotics are frequently continued until neutrophil recovery, even when there is no evidence infection. Shorter antibiotic courses to decrease exposure been studied adult HCT recipients and demonstrated safety compared conventional management. In 2017 we implemented a strategy discontinue at ≤ 72 h stable...
Objectives: The headroom approach to medical device development relies on the estimation of a value-based price ceiling at different stages cycle. Such price-ceilings delineate commercial opportunities for new products in many healthcare systems. We apply simple model obtain critical business information as product proceeds along pathway, and indicate some future directions approach. Methods: Health economic modelling supply-side cycle products. Results: can be used: initially ‘reality...

Uncertainty about the benefits new cancer medicines will deliver in clinical practice risks delaying patient access to treatment options countries such as England, where cost effectiveness of affects reimbursement decisions. Outcome-based payment (OBP) schemes, whereby price paid for drug is linked patients' real-world outcome(s) has been put forward a mechanism accelerate access. Although OBP schemes have generally focused on outcomes determine reimbursement, degree which these represent...
The potential for the use of real-world data (RWD) to generate evidence (RWE) that can inform clinical decision-making and health policy is increasingly recognized, albeit with hesitancy in some circles. If used appropriately, rapidly expanding wealth could improve healthcare research, delivery care, patient outcomes. However, this depends on two key factors: (1) building structures increase confidence willingness European Union (EU) citizens permit collection their data, (2) development EU...
SUMMARY Thrombocytopenia occasionally has been reported in patients on sodium valproate. In the present report a seven‐year‐old girl valproate presented with bronchopneumonia and was found to be thrombocytopenic. Because of efficacy drug reducing number seizures this child, anticonvulsant continued. The pneumonia resolved ampicillin treatment platelet count returned normal. Three months later, while child still valproate, second transient fall occurred, but soon recovered. It is suggested...
