OBJECTIVE— To estimate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and treatment satisfaction for patients with type 2 diabetes in Netherlands to examine which patient characteristics are associated satisfaction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—For a sample 1,348 patients, recruited by 29 general practitioners, we collected data regarding HRQOL. This study was performed as part larger European (Cost Diabetes Europe - Type [CODE-2]). We used generic instrument (Euroqol 5D) measure Treatment...
Priority setting of health interventions is often ad-hoc and resources are not used to an optimal extent. Underlying problem that multiple criteria play a role decisions complex. Interventions may be chosen maximize general population health, reduce inequalities disadvantaged or vulnerable groups, ad/or respond life-threatening situations, all with respect practical budgetary constraints. This the type policy makers typically bad at solving rationally, unaided. They tend use heuristic...
The biological activity and geographic distribution of the malarial parasite its vector are sensitive to climatic influences, especially temperature precipitation. We have incorporated General Circulation Model-based scenarios anthropogenic global climate change in an integrated linked-system model for predicting changes malaria epidemic potential next century. concept disability-adjusted life years is included arrive at a single measure effect on health impact malaria. Assessment incidence...
The decision of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to abandon differential discounting future health is a step backwards could change funding decisions
To estimate the lifetime health and economic effects of optimal prevention treatment diabetic foot according to international standards determine cost-effectiveness these interventions in Netherlands.A risk-based Markov model was developed simulate onset progression disease patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes managed care guidelines for their lifetime. Mean survival time, quality life, complications, costs were outcome measures assessed. Current reference comparison. Data from...
This paper is aimed at critically assessing the extent to which Non-Communicable Disease NCD-related policies introduced in Bangladesh align with World Health Organization's (WHO) 2013-2020 Action Plan for Global Strategy Prevention and Control of NCDs.The authors reviewed all relevant policy documents by Government since its independence 1971. The literature review targeted scientific grey involving internet-based search, expert consultation snowballing identify documents. Information was...
To explore the association between knowledge on diabetes and glycemic control among patients with type 2 in Bangladesh.A cross-sectional study was conducted 515 attending a tertiary hospital Dhaka, Bangladesh. Trained interviewers were used to collect data socioeconomic status, time since onset of diabetes, co-morbidities, anthropometric measurements, blood tests, perceptions about causes, management, complications through face based structured questionnaire. Diabetes reported using...
Diabetes imposes a huge social and economic impact on nations. However, information the costs of treating managing diabetes in developing countries is limited. The aim this study was to estimate healthcare use expenditure for Bangladesh.We conducted matched case-control between January July 2014 among 591 adults with diagnosed mellitus (DMs) age-matched, sex-matched residence-matched persons without (non-DMs). We recruited DMs from consecutive patients non-DMs accompanying Bangladesh...
Background and Purpose— Thrombolysis with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke, but the number of treatable patients limited. The PRomoting ACute in Ischemic StrokE (PRACTISE) trial evaluated effectiveness a multidimensional implementation strategy thrombolysis stroke. Methods— PRACTISE was national multicenter cluster-randomized controlled randomization after pairwise matching. Twelve hospitals, both urban community,...
To test the validity of Framingham, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), and UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk function in prediction coronary heart disease (CHD) populations with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), intermediate hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes.Calibration discrimination three models were tested using prospective data for 1,482 Caucasian men women, 50-75 years age, who participated Hoorn Study. All analyses stratified by status.During 10 follow-up, a total 197 CHD...
In 2010 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a $10 billion commitment over next ten years to increase access childhood vaccines in world's poorest countries. The effort was labeled "Decade of Vaccines." This study estimates both short- and long-term economic benefits from introduction increased use six seventy-two countries 2011 2020. Increased rates vaccination against pneumococcal Haemophilus influenzae type b pneumonia meningitis, rotavirus, pertussis, measles, malaria would save...
To directly estimate how much smoking contributes to cause-specific mortality in Bangladesh.A case-control study was conducted with surveillance data from Matlab, a rural subdistrict. Cases (n = 2213) and controls 261) were men aged 25 69 years who had died between 2003 2010 smoking-related non-smoking-related causes, respectively. Cause-specific odds ratios (ORs) calculated for "ever-smokers" versus "never-smokers", adjustment education, tobacco chewing status age. Smoking-attributable...
Priority setting in population health is increasingly based on explicitly formulated values. The Patients Rights Act of the Norwegian tax-based service guaranties all citizens care case a severe illness, proven benefit, and proportionality between need treatment. This study compares values country's policy makers with these three official principles.In total 34 participated discrete choice experiment, weighting relative value six criteria. We used multi-variate logistic regression selection...
