Abstract Background Early and accurate acute kidney injury (AKI) detection may improve patient outcomes reduce health service costs. This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy cost-effectiveness of NephroCheck NGAL (urine plasma) biomarker tests used alongside standard care, compared with care to detect AKI in hospitalised UK adults. Methods A 90-day decision tree lifetime Markov cohort model predicted costs, quality adjusted life years (QALYs) incremental ratios (ICERs) from a NHS...
ABSTRACT Introduction Long COVID is a life‐limiting condition that affects 65 million people worldwide. It devastates lives with uncertain illness trajectories, and yet, there are many research uncertainties as lack of understanding its causes, effective treatments management plans. We set out to identify current priorities for COVID, carers, healthcare professionals researchers. Methods A systematic literature review previous priority‐setting exercises identified three broad...
Abstract Background Testosterone is safe and highly effective in men with organic hypogonadism, but worldwide testosterone prescribing has recently shifted towards middle‐aged older men, mostly low related to age, diabetes obesity, for whom there less established evidence of clinical safety benefit. The value treatment yet be determined. We therefore evaluated the cost‐effectiveness such compared no treatment. Methods A cost‐utility analysis comparing was conducted following best practices...
Introduction Leg ulcers are usually treated with compression therapy unless there is evidence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Compression may lead to vascular complications in people PAD. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment important ensure the best patient outcomes. PAD assessed using a manual ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI). Automated devices reduce time leg ulcers. This study investigated diagnostic accuracy, clinical effectiveness, cost effectiveness automated ABPI...
