Abstract Aim Oral lichen planus ( OLP ) is a common, chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa. Although several studies have shown efficacy different treatment modalities, definitive cure has not yet been established. The present trial compares effectiveness topically‐applied clobetasol and tacrolimus in symptomatic management . Methods A randomized, comparative, double‐blind study with 68 patients (43 females, 25 males; mean age: 46.76 years) was undertaken. Patients were randomly...
Background The Heart Health Hub (HHH) is a virtual model of care for patients with newly diagnosed heart failure. A program pilot commenced in April 2020 and aimed to achieve acceptable titration rates failure medications while improving patient access services. This study investigate whether the HHH service could deliver feasible, safe outcomes. Methods single-arm observational cohort design was adopted. Eligible currently receiving consent be enrolled based on pre-defined inclusion...
Background Occupational violence against healthcare workers is increasing worldwide. The role of security personnel in settings critical, yet little known about the attributes that are most important to workers. Objective This study seeks identify preferred from professional's perspective. Methods An online survey was administered a representative sample staff including health service managers, clinicians, and nurses at Metro North Hospital Health Service Queensland, Australia. We employed...
It is critical to evaluate cancer survivors' preferences when developing follow-up care models better address the needs of survivors. This study was conducted understand key attributes breast for use in a future discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey.Key were generated using multi-stage, mixed-methods approach. Focus group discussions with survivors and clinicians generate range current ideal care. These then prioritised an online survey healthcare providers. The DCE levels finalised via...
Abstract Purpose Preference-based quality of life measures (PBMs) are used to generate quality-adjusted years (QALYs) in economic evaluations. A PBM consists (1) a health state classification system and (2) utility value set that allows the instrument responses be converted QALYs. new, oral health-specific system, Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale-4D (ECOHIS-4D) has recently been developed. The aim this study was an Australian for ECOHIS-4D. Methods discrete choice experiment with...
Abstract Purpose To identify the key attributes of breast cancer follow-up care models preferred by survivors in Australia. Methods A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted to elicit preferences for care. Respondents were presented with two hypothetical scenarios, known as sets, and asked select a preference. individuals living Australia who diagnosed within past five years prior survey completion recruited through Breast Cancer Network other community or consumer networks. Latent...
Abstract Background In Australia, the overall prevalence of liver disease is increasing. Maximising uptake community screening programmes by understanding patient preferences integral to developing consumer-centred care models for disease. Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are widely used elicit various healthcare services. Attribute development a vital component well-designed DCE and should be described in sufficient detail others assess validity outcomes. Hence, this study aimed create...

Abstract Objectives Preference‐based quality‐of‐life measures (PBMs) have been developed in many clinical areas to aid estimation of more accurate utility values for economic evaluations. Existing oral health‐related (OHRQoL) instruments are non‐PBM and hence, cannot be used generate values. The objective this study was develop a classification system new PBM (dental caries index‐DCUI) the most prevalent childhood health condition: dental caries. Methods Possible domains items included were...
Abstract Objective Accurate assessment of child oral health is important for guiding economic evaluations and informing healthcare decision‐making. Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS‐4D) a preference‐based instrument that measures the health‐related quality life young children. The aim this study was to compare utility scores ECOHIS‐4D Child Utility Index ( CHU‐9D), against an indicator evaluate which score corresponds better with indicator. Method CHU‐9D were applied 314...
Introduction A new health state classification system has been developed for dental caries - Dental Caries Utility Index (DCUI) to facilitate the assessment of oral interventions in cost-utility analysis (CUA). This paper reports protocol a valuation study, which aims generate preference-based algorithm DCUI. Methods and Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) will be conducted value states generated by DCUI preferences these modelled develop utility algorithm. DCEs produce values on latent scale...
Introduction The Dental Caries Utility Index (DCUI) is a new oral health–specific health state classification system for adolescents, consisting of 5 domains: pain/discomfort, difficulty eating food/drinking, worried, ability to participate in activities, and appearance. Each domain has 4 response levels. This study aims generate an Australian-specific utility algorithm the DCUI. Methods An online survey was conducted using representative sample adult Australian general population. discrete...
Abstract Occupational violence (OV) towards healthcare staff often results in unrealised negative impacts on workers, patients, and the system. Hence, occupational prevention has become a priority settings. Successful implementation of an program depends acceptability suitability to staff. The discrete choice experiment (DCE) method been widely used elicit preferences for different aspects services. present study aims understand key attributes security models care select future DCE...
