Aims: To estimate the cost-effectiveness and resourcing implications of universal alcohol screening brief intervention (SBI) programmes in primary care England. Methods: This was a health economic model, combining evidence effectiveness resource requirements SBI activities with existing epidemiological modelling relationship between consumption harms. Results: Screening patients on registration family doctor would steadily capture ∼40% population over 10-year programme; at next consultation...
This methodology paper sets out a mathematical description of the Sheffield Alcohol Policy Model version 2.0, model to evaluate public health strategies for alcohol harm reduction in UK. Policies that can be appraised include minimum price per unit alcohol, restrictions on discounting, and broader measures. The estimates impact consumers, services, crime, employers, retailers government tax revenues. synthesis commercial data sources inform structure is described. A detailed algebraic...
ABSTRACTObjective: Based on positive safety and efficacy data, a quadrivalent Human PapillomaVirus (HPV) vaccine has been approved in Switzerland to prevent HPV types 6, 11, 16 18 infections. The objective of this study was explore the cost-effectiveness an vaccination Switzerland.Design methods: A Markov model natural history infection adapted Swiss context followed hypothetical cohort 41 200 girls aged 11 years over their lifetime. Main epidemiological economic parameters were extracted...
Objectives. The primary aim of this study was to estimate annual health care costs for biologic-naïve patients with PsA in the UK. relationship between disease severity, defined by physical limitations, and also explored. Methods. This utilized data from British Society Rheumatology Biologics Register (BSRBR) develop a multivariate model estimating severity parameters available routine data. HAQ Disability Index used determine severity. algorithm then applied Health Improvement Network...
This paper sets out the development of a methodological framework for detailed evaluation public health strategies alcohol harm reduction to meet UK policy-makers needs. Alcohol is known cause substantial harms, and controlling its affordability availability are effective policy options. Analysis synthesis variety commercial data sources needed evaluate impact on consumers, services, crime, employers industry, so sound important. We discuss iterative process engage with stakeholders,...
Diabetes is associated with premature death and a number of serious complications. The presence comorbid depression makes these outcomes more likely results in increased healthcare costs. aim this work was to assess the health economic having both diabetes depression, cost-effectiveness potential policy changes improve care pathway: improved opportunistic screening for collaborative treatment, combination both.A mathematical model pathways experienced by people diagnosed type-2 England...
Background: While evidence shows high-dose statins reduce cardiovascular events compared with moderate doses in individuals acute coronary syndrome (ACS), many primary care trusts (PCT) advocate the use of generic simvastatin 40 mg/day for these patients. Methods and results: Data from 28 RCTs were synthesized using a mixed treatment comparison model. A Markov model was used to evaluate cost-effectiveness treatments taking into account adherence likely reduction cost atorvastatin when patent...
Aims To determine whether the provision of contingency management using financial incentives to improve hepatitis B vaccine completion in people who inject drugs entering community treatment represents a cost-effective use health-care resources. Design A probabilistic cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted, decision-tree estimate short-term clinical and cost impact vaccination strategies, followed by Markov process evaluate long-term consequences costs associated with infection. Settings...
Objective and Methods: A decision analytic model was built to assess the paediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) burden potential benefits associated with introduction of RotaTeq®† (pentavalent vaccine) in Belgium.Results: In absence a (RV) immunisation programme, RVGE estimated account for about 5,860 hospitalisations, 1,720 cases nosocomial infections, 9,410 treated by general practitioners/paediatricians (GP/P) 10,790 not seeking medical care birth cohort followed up 5 years age....
