Abstract Background The COVID-19 outbreak is a global pandemic, during which the community preventive and protective behaviors play crucial role in containment control of infection. This study was designed to contribute existing knowledge on how risk communication (RC) perception (RP) affect (PPB) outbreak. Methods required data were extracted from national online survey Iranian adults aged 15 older March 15–19, 2020 ( n =3213). Data analysis performed using structural equation modeling....
Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PCa) causes a substantial health and financial burden worldwide, underscoring the need for efficient mass screening approaches. This study attempts to evaluate Net Cost-Benefit Index (NCBI) of PCa in Iran offer insights informed decision-making resource allocation. Method The was calculated four age groups (40 years above) using decision-analysis model. Two strategies, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) solely PSA with Digital Rectal Examination (DRE), were...
Background: Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to the cytokine storm syndrome which cause acute respiratory failure and death. Our aim was investigate therapeutic effects of infliximab, intravenous gammaglobulin (IVIg) or combination therapy in patients with severe COVID-19 admitted intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: In this observational research, we studied 104 intubated adult infection (based on clinical symptoms, radiographic CT scan parameters) who were ICU a...
Recent years have witnessed a strong tendency to apply economic evidence as guide for making health resource allocation decisions, especially those related reimbursement policies. One such measure is the use of cost-effectiveness threshold benchmark. This study explored in system Iran by determining society's preferences.A cross-sectional household survey based on contingent valuation method was administered representative general population 1002 Tehran, from April June 2015. The intended...
Studies of L-carnitine in healthy athletic populations have yielded equivocal results. Further scientific-based knowledge is needed to clarify the ability improve exercise capacity and expedite recovery process by reducing oxidative stress. This study aimed examine 9-week effects supplementation on performance, anaerobic capacity, exercise-induced stress markers resistance-trained males.In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled treatment, 23 men (age, 25±2y; weight, 81.2±8.31 kg;...
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), in Growth Factors (PRGF), Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and ozone as effective treatment approaches knee osteoarthritis management from Iran Health care perspective.A decision tree model was conducted to assess four common intra-articular patients with mild moderate osteoarthritis. The data on clinical effectiveness obtained a randomized controlled trial (RCT) used estimate utility values. direct medical costs were estimated according...
A limited number of studies have specifically examined the value quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) from patient's perspective.The goal this study was to investigate worth QALYs perspectives patients with diabetes using health and willingness-to-pay (WTP) measures.A hypothetical treatment characterized by a permanent cure presented 149 in Tehran, Iran, elicit monetary that they attach QALYs. The QALY gains participants were determined EuroQol-5 Dimensions, 3 Levels instrument, visual...
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of population- and family history (FH) -based screening for BReast CAncer (BRCA) in Iran, a country where less than 10% breast cancer cases are attributable gene mutation. Methods was an economic evaluation study. The Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) genetic test strategies Iranian women older 30 calculated. To this end, monetary value estimated using willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach contingent valuation method (CVM) by payment...
Sugarcane is one of the most economically important crops in southwestern Iran and viral diseases such as those caused by mosaic virus (SCMV) have yield losses some fields. A survey was conducted Khuzestan province to investigate distribution sugarcane luteoviruses, poaceviruses potyviruses. During September November 2014, symptoms associated with SCMV, streak (SCSMV) Sorghum infection were observed These included interveinal chlorotic specks, streaks or stripes on leaves (Fig. 1)....
This study aimed to estimate Iranian willingness pay (WTP) for a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine and its determinants. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from May 2nd 20th, 2020 among the general population of Iran WTP vaccines. Four scenarios with different levels efficacy duration protection were presented respondents in payment card scale contingent valuation method (CVM). With corresponding WTPs under different scenarios, mean, trimmed median values, demand estimated. semi-log...
Abstract Introduction This study investigates Iranian men’s willingness to pay (WTP) for prostate cancer (PCa) screening and influencing factor, along with the impact of information. Method We assessed preferences in 771 men aged 40 above using an internet-based questionnaire survey. Participants received basic complementary information, their was determined through a payment card approach. A Wilcoxon test also analyzed demand employed Heckman's two-step model evaluate factors pay....
The aim of this study was to estimate willingness pay (WTP) amount for one quality adjusted-life years (QALY) in diabetic patients and investigating factors that associated with it. A cross sectional survey face interviews conducted Tehran city between June August 2014 elicit WTP QALY as following: First, Current health preferences were measured using EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), visual analogue Scale (VAS) time trade off (TTO) techniques, then a hypothetical scenario double bounded dichotomous...
Maximum willingness to pay (WTP) for a health benefit is related perceived value. The goal of this study was find out how much Iranian healthy people would be willing keep their natural teeth instead having them pulled. This done separately the anterior and posterior teeth.The highest value posed as an open-ended question in cross-sectional analysis conducted 2021. Four distinct scenarios treating tooth with poor prognosis preservation versus extraction were offered. WTP preferred treatment...
