The ex vivo effect of aspirin (ASA) on platelet aggregation, the component thrombosis, was studied at repeated intervals in a cohort patients taking for recurrent ischemic stroke prevention to define maintenance efficacy over time.We administered increasing doses (from 325 1300 mg/d) with previous and determined extent inhibition aggregation after 2 weeks thereafter approximately 6-month intervals.Over 33 months, 306 had studies performed their initial response ASA therapy. Of these, 228...
Abstract The aims of this study were to analyse (1) whether informal care, provided by children or grandchildren their elderly parents, and formal care are substitutes complements, (2) relationship differs across Europe. analyses based on cross‐sectional data from the newly developed SHARE (Survey Health, Ageing, Retirement in Europe) database. We found that home substitutes, while is a complement doctor hospital visits, these relationships some cases differ according European north–south...
This paper brings a European perspective to the mainly U.S.-based literature on relationship between obesity and labour-market outcomes. Using micro-data workers aged 50 over from newly developed SHARE database, effects of employment, hours worked, wages across 10 countries were analysed. Pooling all countries, results showed that being obese was associated with significantly lower probability employed for both women men. Moreover, earned 10% less than their non-obese counterparts. For men,...
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to estimate healthcare cost and productivity losses as a result diabetes diabetes‐related chronic complications in Sweden 1987 2005. Research design methods Published estimates on relative risks Swedish age‐specific diabetes‐prevalence rates were used calculate the proportions that are attributable diabetes. These applied for based data from population registers. Results estimated total costs 2005 EUR439m EUR920m, respectively. increase 110% 69%...
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence contextual and individual factors on daily tobacco smoking. Methods: public-health survey in Malmö 1994 is a cross-sectional study. A total 5,600 individuals aged 20 - 80 years were invited answer postal questionnaire. participation rate 71%. multilevel logistic regression model, with at first level neighbourhoods second, performed. We analysed effect (intra-area correlation, cross-level modification odds ratios) neighbourhood...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cost-effectiveness varenicline with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation in four European countries (Belgium, France, Sweden UK). Methods: Markov simulations, using Benefits Smoking Cessation on Outcomes (BENESCO) model, were performed. We simulated incidence smoking-related morbidities: lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart disease stroke. model computes quality-adjusted...
Efforts have been made to implement a more person-centred healthcare approach in several countries. The cost-effectiveness of care is large extent unknown, even though it has demonstrated decrease total costs and be cost-effective some settings conditions. objective this study estimate costs, effects the overall cost-effectiveness, compared usual care, for patients with chronic heart failure and/or obstructive pulmonary disease.A randomized controlled trial including disease was conducted at...
Costs associated with an ACS incident are most pronounced in the acute phase but also considerably long after initial hospitalisation, partly due to considerable productivity losses, which constitute a substantial part of economic burden disease. Studies suggest that person-centred care may improve health-related quality life and reduce costs disease.The aim this study was calculate cost-effectiveness intervention compared usual patients coronary syndrome (ACS), Swedish setting.Primary data...
Observational data shows that postterm pregnancy (≥42 gestational weeks, GW) and late term (≥41 GW), as compared to pregnancy, is associated with an increased risk for adverse outcome the mother infant. Standard care in many countries induction of labour at 42 GW. There insufficient scientific support 41 GW, expectant management GW will reduce perinatal mortality morbidity without increase operative deliveries, negative delivery experiences or higher costs. Large randomised studies are...
Epilepsy has well-documented associations with low income and education levels, but the impact of a patient's socioeconomic standing (SES) on effects epilepsy have been less studied.We performed register-based cross-sectional study asked if SES was associated more severe or limited access to care in Sweden, where health is universal, outcomes (employment income) differed for persons (PWE) different levels educational attainment. The cohort consisted all adult patients an diagnosis Swedish...
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an additional 12-week treatment with varenicline for abstainers who had successfully completed initial treatment.The Benefits Smoking Cessation on Outcomes simulation model was used to simulate both direct and indirect effects smoking cessation. All calculations were performed in 2003 Swedish prices.Sweden 2003.The modelled cohort consisted 25% adult smokers motivated quit (168,844 males 208,737 females). The age sex distributions reflect that population...

Lacosamide as treatment of epileptic seizures – cost utility results for Sweden.Acta Neurol Scand: 2010: 121: 406–412.© 2010 The Authors Journal compilation © Blackwell Munksgaard. Objectives To calculate per additional quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) lacosamide adjunctive patients with uncontrolled partial-onset compared to no treatment. Materials and methods A decision-tree simulation model was constructed the number health-care utilization treated...
