Drug resistance is a serious public health problem that threatens to thwart our ability treat many infectious diseases. Repeatedly, the introduction of new drugs has been followed by evolution resistance. In principle, there are two complementary ways address this problem: (i) enhancing drug development and (ii) slowing through evolutionary management. Although these strategies not mutually exclusive, it nevertheless worthwhile considering whether one might be inherently more effective than...
To estimate and compare the minimally important difference (MID) in index score of country-specific EQ-5D-5L scoring algorithms developed using EuroQol Valuation Technology protocol version 2, including from Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Taiwan, United States.A simulation-based approach contingent on all single-level transitions defined by descriptive system was used to MID for each algorithm.The resulting mean (and standard deviation) instrument-defined estimates...
Background. Increasing demand for provision of care to stroke survivors creates challenges health planners. A key concern is the optimal alignment resources between acute care, rehabilitation, and among different segments including inpatient early supported discharge (ESD), outpatient rehabilitation (OPR). We propose a novel application discrete event simulation (DES) combined with genetic algorithm (GA) identify configuration that maximizes patient benefits subject finite resources. Design....
Drug resistance is a serious public health problem that threatens to thwart our ability treat many infectious diseases. Repeatedly, the introduction of new drugs has been followed by evolution resistance. In principle there are two ways address this problem: (i) enhancing drug development, and (ii) slowing We present data modeling approach based on queueing theory explores how interventions aimed at these facets affect entire supply system provide service.

This study aims to determine how population-based health-utility score (HUS) differences reflect individuals' health preferences using responses from the Canadian EQ-5D-5L Valuation Study, including time trade-off (TTO) and discrete-choice experiment (DCE) tasks (n = 1073).Cardinal TTO were transformed into pairwise comparisons yield ordinal responses. We investigated HUS differ participants' stated cardinal preferences, determined smallest difference that may be expected represent...
