Radon and lung cancer: a cost-effectiveness analysis. (1/353)

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the cost-effectiveness of general and targeted strategies for residential radon testing and mitigation in the United States. METHODS: A decision-tree model was used to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of preventing radon-associated deaths from lung cancer. RESULTS: For a radon threshold of 4 pCi/L, the estimated costs to prevent 1 lung cancer death are about $3 million (154 lung cancer deaths prevented), or $480,000 per life-year saved, based on universal radon screening and mitigation, and about $2 million (104 lung cancer deaths prevented), or $330,000 per life-year saved, if testing and mitigation are confined to geographic areas at high risk for radon exposure. For mitigation undertaken after a single screening test and after a second confirmatory test, the estimated costs are about $920,000 and $520,000, respectively, to prevent a lung cancer death with universal screening and $130,000 and $80,000 per life-year for high risk screening. The numbers of preventable lung cancer deaths are 811 and 527 for universal and targeted approaches, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest possible alternatives to current recommendations.  (+info)

Morbidity and mortality attributable to alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use in Canada. (2/353)

OBJECTIVES: This study estimated morbidity and mortality attributable to substance abuse in Canada. METHODS: Pooled estimates of relative risk were used to calculate etiologic fractions by age, gender, and province for 91 causes of disease or death attributable to alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs. RESULTS: There were 33,498 deaths and 208,095 hospitalizations attributed to tobacco, 6701 deaths and 86,076 hospitalizations due to alcohol, and 732 deaths and 7095 hospitalizations due to illicit drugs in 1992. CONCLUSIONS: Substance abuse exacts a considerable toll on Canadian society in terms of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 21% of deaths, 23% of years of potential life lost, and 8% of hospitalizations.  (+info)

AIDS: what does economics have to offer? (3/353)

AIDS is rapidly becoming a major health problem in developing countries. Limited empirical information is available about the impact of AIDS on the household, the community, the health sector and the broader economy. Special problems exist in estimating the direct economic costs of AIDS in developing countries, including large out-of-pocket expenditures on health care and shortages of drugs and supplies; the difficulties of valuing resources used in caring for people with AIDS; and the lack of treatment alternatives. The calculation of indirect costs is complicated by difficulties in calculating the value of non-market production and international comparisons of the value of healthy life years lost may be erroneous, due to the higher level of average wages in developed countries. Existing evidence on the impact of AIDS at the household, community, sectoral and macroeconomic level is reviewed. Special attention is given to the impact of AIDS on the health sector and the resource allocation decisions which are made at this level. A policy-relevant research strategy would include addressing the particular information needs of the health sector, as well as studies which can help to inform government policy to mitigate the impact of AIDS at the household, community, sectoral and macroeconomic levels.  (+info)

Using cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate targeting strategies: the case of vitamin A supplementation. (4/353)

Given the demonstrated efficacy of vitamin A supplements in reducing childhood mortality, health officials now have to decide whether it would be efficient to target the supplements to high risk children. Decisions about targeting are complex because they depend on a number of factors; the degree of clustering of preventable deaths, the cost of the intervention, the side-effects of the intervention, the cost of identifying the high risk group, and the accuracy of the 'diagnosis' of risk. A cost-effectiveness analysis was used in the Philippines to examine whether vitamin A supplements should be given universally to all children 6-59 months, targeted broadly to children suffering from mild, moderate, or severe malnutrition, or targeted narrowly to pre-schoolers with moderate and severe malnutrition. The first year average cost of the universal approach was US$67.21 per death averted compared to $144.12 and $257.20 for the broad and narrow targeting approaches respectively. When subjected to sensitivity analysis the conclusion about the most cost-effective strategy was robust to changes in underlying assumptions such as the efficacy of supplements, clustering of deaths, and toxicity. Targeting vitamin A supplements to high risk children is not an efficient use of resources. Based on the results of this cost-effectiveness analysis and a consideration of alternate strategies, it is apparent that vitamin A, like immunization, should be provided to all pre-schoolers in the developing world. Issues about targeting public health interventions can usefully be addressed by cost-effectiveness analysis.  (+info)

The influence of day of life in predicting the inpatient costs for providing care to very low birth weight infants. (5/353)

The purpose of this study was to test, refine, and extend a statistical model that adjusts neonatal intensive care costs for a very low birth weight infant's day of life and birth weight category. Subjects were 62 infants with birth weights below 1,501 g who were born and cared for in a university hospital until discharged home alive. Subjects were stratified into 250-g birth weight categories. Clinical and actual daily room and ancillary-resource costs for each day of care of each infant were tabulated. Data were analyzed by using a nonlinear regression procedure specifying two separate for modeling. The modeling was performed with data sets that both included and excluded room costs. The former set of data were used for generating a model applicable for comparing interhospital performances and the latter for comparing interphysician performances. The results confirm the existence of a strong statistical relationship between an infant's day of life and both total hospital costs and the isolated costs for ancillary-resource alone (P < 0.0001). A refined series of statistical models have been generated that are applicable to the assessment of either interhospital or interphysician costs associated with providing inpatient care to very low birth weight infants.  (+info)

Cost implications of selective preoperative risk screening in the care of candidates for peripheral vascular operations. (6/353)

The preoperative identification that patients are at high risk for adverse postoperative outcomes is the first step toward preventing costly in-hospital complications. The economic implications of noninvasive screening strategies in the care of patients undergoing peripheral vascular operations must be clarified. A decision model was developed from the peer-reviewed literature on patients undergoing preoperative screening by means of dipyridamole myocardial perfusion imaging, dobutamine echocardiography, or cardiac catheterization before vascular operations (n = 23 studies). Routine versus selective screening strategies were compared for patients with an intermediate likelihood of having coronary artery disease on the basis of clinical history of coronary disease or typical symptoms. Median costs (1994 US dollars) of preoperative screening strategies were derived with two microcosting approaches: adjusted Medicare charges (top-down approach) and a bottom-up approach with Duke University Center direct cost estimate data. In-hospital cost was 11% higher for preoperative screening by means of routine cardiac catheterization ($27,760) than for routine pharmacologic stress imaging ($24,826, P = 0.001). The total cost of a do-nothing strategy, that is, no preoperative testing, was 5.9% less than that of routine preoperative pharmacologic stress imaging and 15.9% lower than that of cardiac catheterization (P = 0.001). Selective screening among patients with a history of coronary disease or typical angina resulted in further reduction of the cost of care to a level comparable with that of a do-nothing strategy (52.5% reduction in cost with pharmacologic stress imaging, P > 0.20). Use of noninvasive testing for preoperative risk stratification was cost effective for patients 60 to 80 years of age. Cost per life saved ranged from $33,338 to $21,790. However, coronary revascularization after an abnormal noninvasive test was cost effective only for patients older than 70 years. In this economic decision model, substantial cost savings were predicted when selective noninvasive stress imaging was added to preoperative screening for patients about to undergo vascular operations. With a selective screening approach, the economic impact of initial diagnostic testing may be minimized without compromising patient outcomes.  (+info)

Economic benefits of aggressive lipid lowering: a managed care perspective. (7/353)

Coronary heart disease (CHD) has high prevalence in the United States and is associated with significant mortality as well as costs to society. Hyperlipidemia is a major and common modifiable risk factor for CHD. In clinical trials, cholesterol-lowering strategies have a dramatic impact on CHD risk, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Cost-effectiveness data have established that clinical and economic benefits are gained by instituting early and aggressive lipid-lowering therapy. We present new evidence for the clinical benefits and cost effectiveness of aggressive lipid-lowering therapy as primary or secondary prevention of CHD and describe strategies that managed care organizations can take to benefit from a lipid management program.  (+info)

Looking beyond the formulary budget in cost-benefit analysis. (8/353)

With the introduction of newer, more expensive psychotropic medications, healthcare providers and managed care administrators must consider whether these drugs offer "value for the money." A true picture of the benefits of these drugs emerges only when all the costs of treatment are considered. Focusing exclusively on the acquisition cost of the drug can result in a misleading impression of the drug's worth. Although the medication costs associated with treating a patient with a newer drug increase, use of these agents may actually result in an overall decrease in healthcare costs, through reductions in hospitalization and length of stay, use of mental health services, and prescriptions for adjunctive drugs. In one study of the newer antipsychotic agent risperidone, the overall annual costs of treating a patient with schizophrenia were reduced by nearly $8,000 (Canadian dollars), even though medication costs increased by approximately $1,200 (Canadian dollars). Retrospective and prospective pharmacoeconomic studies can provide valuable data on the cost effectiveness of treatment with newer psychotropic medications.  (+info)

Influence of construct-irrelevant factors and effects of methodological choices on EQ-5D health state valuationInfluence of construct-irrelevant factors and effects of methodological choices on EQ-5D health state valuation
Methods used to determine preference-based values for health states, particularly the time trade-off (TTO) method, were found to be susceptible to influence from anchoring from the starting point of the task. Furthermore, respondents assign more extreme values as they gain experience with the valuation task. Theoretically equivalent variants of the valuation methods result in different elicited preference values, and different methods result in different estimates of the relative importance of specific dimensions of health. Attitudes toward death seem to influence values assigned to health states, and how death is implemented in valuation methods influences the distribution of derived values. The thesis concludes that methods used to assign values to health states described by the EQ-5D are influenced by several factors of disputable relevance, suggesting that the actual uncertainty around such values is under-communicated. Decision makers should use appropriate caution when interpreting results ...

Usually this overwhelming sense of wrongness starts flooding in right away. Its this deep inherent wrongness that goes way beyond the actual moment (people often call this being triggered). Then my head gets all fuzzy. It feels like all the energy is sucking back into my body. Im contracting and making myself finite. I cant see anything beyond it. The wrongness is blinding.

With help from the affiliated societies and an enthusiastic response from many AHA members, the division has sought to highlight and improve institutional connections among historians and social studies teachers. Following continuing if politically contentious efforts to influence state-level adoption of history-based sets of social studies standards for the nations public schools, the TD has adopted a "bottom-up" emphasis on direct contacts among the far-flung members of the larger history/social studies community. Programatically, the TD has taken a multipronged approach to this goal. Based on responses to an appeal in Perspectives, we have first sought to create a database (where none has existed before) of ongoing initiatives in collaborative education; thus far we have identified a ...

Testing The Predictive Ability Of The Dividend Valuation Model On Ordinary SharesTesting The Predictive Ability Of The Dividend Valuation Model On Ordinary Shares
The valuation of ordinary shares is much more difficult than that of preferred shares and bonds because of more uncertainty and instability surrounding the income from ordinary shares. The satisfying aspect of investing in bonds is the certainty of income. Bonds have a superior claim on assets and income in the event of liquidation, and as long as the interest and principal on a bond are adequately secured and the yield satisfactory, the decision to invest is not difficult. Greater risk is associated with preferred share investment because dividends are less certain and do not represent a fixed commitment of the company. However,. yields can easily be determined and whether the dividends and principal are secure can be readily established. The valuation of ordinary shares is more complicated and this has led to the development of a number of models, including the dividend valuation model and earning per share valuation model. This study sought to determine the predictive ability of the Dividend ...

He chose to publish one paper, fittingly, in the online journal PLoS Medicine, which is committed to running any methodologically sound article without regard to how "interesting" the results may be. In the paper, Ioannidis laid out a detailed mathematical proof that, assuming modest levels of researcher bias, typically imperfect research techniques, and the well-known tendency to focus on exciting rather than highly plausible theories, researchers will come up with wrong findings most of the time. Simply put, if youre attracted to ideas that have a good chance of being wrong, and if youre motivated to prove them right, and if you have a little wiggle room in how you assemble the evidence, youll probably succeed in proving wrong theories right. His model predicted, in different fields of medical research, rates of wrongness roughly corresponding to the observed rates at which findings were later convincingly refuted: 80 percent of non-randomized studies (by far the most common type) turn out ...
Philosophical Disquisitions: June 2011Philosophical Disquisitions: June 2011
Lets look to the conditions of morally wrongful assistance first. Here, I must admit, Ive hit upon a snag. Although conditions (i) and (iii) seem relatively straightforward, condition (ii) seems less so. The problem has to do with the ambiguity of Tooleys original formulation of premise (7). Whereas I try to make it clear who is being referred to by introducing the characters A and B, Tooley does not and refers simply to "the person". Unfortunately, this makes it unclear whose interests are being referred to in condition (ii). Ive interpreted it above as referring As interests ( i.e. the interests of the assister) and I think this makes sense: it would seem imprudent (and likely a condition of wrongness) for A to assist another in undermining his interests. That said, it could be that Tooley is referring to Bs interests and drawing a distinction between objective and subject interests. In other words, the idea is that while B might subjectively think that a particular action (in this case ...

Climate Change: The Next Generation: 2013 in Review: a Productive Year for Skeptical ScienceClimate Change: The Next Generation: 2013 in Review: a Productive Year for Skeptical Science
Putting it all together, we have an increasingly clear picture that while the warming of global surface temperatures has slowed over the past decade, it has not slowed as much as previously thought. The slowed surface warming is due in large part to changes in ocean cycles, particularly in the Pacific Ocean, causing more efficient ocean heat uptake, thus leaving less heat to warm surface temperatures. External factors, like decreased solar and increased volcanic activity, have also played a role in the slowed surface warming, but internal variability due to ocean cycles appears to be the main culprit. In any case, as the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report showed, the observed global surface warming remains within the range of climate model projections. ...

Years of Potential Life Lost Before Ages 65 and 85 -- United States, 1989-1990Years of Potential Life Lost Before Ages 65 and 85 -- United States, 1989-1990
Years of potential life lost (YPLL) is a public health measure that reflects the impact of deaths occurring in years preceding a conventional cut-off year of age, usually 65 years. YPLL is calculated using final mortality data from CDCs National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) (1) for the most recent year available and provisional mortality data (i.e., a 10% sample of deaths) (2) for the following year. This report summarizes final YPLL data for 1989 and provisional YPLL data for 1990. In the United States during 1989, 12,339,045 years of potential life were lost before age 65 (YPLL-65) (Table 1), a total consistent with 1989 provisional data (12,370,499) (4). Provisional data for 1990 indicate that there were 12,083,228 YPLL-65, a 2.1% decline from 1989 (1,2; NCHS unpublished data, 1992). As in the preceding 10 years, unintentional injuries were the leading cause of YPLL-65 in 1990, accounting for 17.8% of all YPLL-65, followed by malignant neoplasms (15.2%), intentional injuries (homicide ...

What is Anti Ageing Medicine? | CellgenWhat is Anti Ageing Medicine? | Cellgen
As people reach their early fifties, the telling effects of the aging process begin. Aches and pains, lack of energy and motivation, memory loss, lack of libido among other symptoms can deprive people of what could have been the most productive years of their life.. It seems that just as they finally get a grip on what life is all about, the aging process starts to debilitate their ability to unleash life experiences, talents and the want of serving others and above all, living for themselves.. Anti-aging medicine is the pinnacle of biotechnology along with advanced clinical preventive and regenerative medicine. This branch is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans.. As such, anti-aging medicine is based on principles of regenerative and ...

Just 20 years ago, about one in 10 workers was over the age of 55; today, its one in five. We are aging as a nation. We are living longer than our forebears a century ago, but can effective population health management push back the serious effects from chronic disease so we can live healthier, more productive years?. In the typical lifespan, there is a point at which an individual first becomes chronically ill or disabled, and a further point at which a person dies. On average, the time between those two points is about 20 years, according to healthy aging pioneer James Fries. Fries envisions a world in which we may not add many more years to the end of life, but we can "compress morbidity," or shorten the number of years we suffer from illness. The key question is: how can we maximize the healthy years of our lives? Its not just a question important to individuals; its critically important to our economy as well. Population health and a nations financial health are inextricably linked. ...

It is a demyelinating disease, which simply means that the insulating covers of nerve cells called myelin in the brain and spinal cord gets damaged due to an immune reaction. As a result, a range of signs and symptoms like sudden loss of vision, unsteadiness of gait, weakness and numbness of limbs occur. What is unique about the worldwide distribution of MS is that it is more common in people who live further from the equator and more common in regions with northern European populations. MS affects around 2.5 million people globally. Q: How common is this problem here in Sri Lanka? Who are at highest risk? A. MS affects young people in the best and the most productive years of their lives usually between the ages of 20-40 years. It is common in young girls (approx. 90%) by far.

Cost-benefit analysis : philosophical issuesCost-benefit analysis : philosophical issues
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) gives rise to a whole range of philosophical issues. The most discussed among these is the status of economic values that are assigned to assets conceived as incommensurable with money, such as a human life or the continued existence of an animal species. CBA also involves other contentious assumptions, for instance that a disadvantage affecting one person can be fully compensated for by an advantage affecting some other person. Another controversial issue is whether a CBA should cover all aspects in a decision or rather leave out certain issues (such as justice) so that they can instead be treated separately.. ...

Lux Vera: November 2010Lux Vera: November 2010
Why would God not remove evildoers straightaway? Because He wants them to repent, and for that to happen He has to give them time. If He removed every evildoer at the first chance we would all have been wiped out by now. He has to give a certain leeway of time so that people have time to see the wrongness of their ways and come to a new heart. And this has to be repeated for each generation, which has to learn it all over again ...
A Human Beings First 3 Years, Including Their Time In The Womb Determines Their Health For Life - RiseEarthA Human Being's First 3 Years, Including Their Time In The Womb 'Determines Their Health For Life' - RiseEarth
A single vaccine given to a six-pound newborn is the equivalent of giving a 180-pound adult 30 vaccinations on the same day. Include in this the toxic effects of high levels of aluminum and formaldehyde contained in some vaccines, and the synergist toxicity could be increased to unknown levels. Further, it is very well known that infants do not produce significant levels of bile or have adult renal capacity for several months after birth. Bilary transport is the major biochemical route by which mercury is removed from the body, and infants cannot do this very well. They also do not possess the renal (kidney) capacity to remove aluminum. Additionally, mercury is a well-known inhibitor of kidney function. "--Boyd Haley Ph.D. ...
Law Easy | Closely Held Business PlanningLaw Easy | Closely Held Business Planning
Alternate Valuation For estate tax purposes the decedents assets are valued as of the date of death. An election can be made to value the estates assets six months after the date of death using the alternate valuation date ("AVD"). If the alternate valuation approach is used, any property distributed to a beneficiary, or sold exchanged, or otherwise disposed of during the period from the date of death to the alternate valuation date is valued at the date of distribution, sale, exchange or other disposition. If beneficiaries fear additional market declines, but nevertheless plan on continuing to hold assets presently held by the estate, it might be advisable not to distribute assets prior to the alternate valuation date so that if there are declines they can be used to reduce the estate tax values. Once an asset is distributed later declines in market value will not lower the estate tax, thus resulting in the vary risk the alternate valuation election was intended to mitigate against. If an ...
Medical: MedicalConspiracies- Medical Scope Risk Worse Than Previously ThoughtMedical: MedicalConspiracies- Medical Scope Risk Worse Than Previously Thought
Billions of people are now Aspartame victims or their friends. Individual answers to questions are now an impossible approach. The following article is meant to fill in that gap, to meet that need. As you read it you will master the medical knowledge you need to cope in a correctly intuitive manner. You also will painlessly gain the experience you need, vicariously as you follow me down the river of discovery. I am like a beat-up, exhausted old salmon with propeller slashes from the political powerboats, gnashes from predators, battered from pounding against the rocks while jumping cataracts, and exhausted from swimming all the way up to this spawning ground against the current. So jump in your armchair. You will lunch upon the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17 and 3:1-22) and your eyes will be opened as we journey down stream. Hopefully this may become a river of life for you (Revelation 22:1-2). May you find healing in the tree of life (Gen 2:9 and 3:1-22). If ...
Life itself changes the Meaning of Life: 2011Life itself changes the 'Meaning of Life': 2011
So as the bulk of it was already written, I figured I might as well post it here on my blog too. Hopefully it may clarify the situation for some people, at least as far as my position on the changes and why I have not accepted invitations to sign up to campaigns to save individuals units. I must stress that these are my personal opinions, but I do not feel it is inappropriate for me as Director of Downs Heart Group to express them here as they are based on a national perspective after over 20 years working and liaising with all of the UK units and not reflective of my own brief personal experiences at one individual unit in 1989. I have met very many of the medical staff who may be affected by these changes and heard firsthand accounts from parents about probably all of them - they are definitely amongst the most gifted and dedicated cardiac teams in the world and we need to take steps to ensure that the UK retains that expertise. (only a few days ago one of our surgeons was mentioned in an ...

JivinJehoshaphat: Embryology quote of the week #2JivinJehoshaphat: Embryology quote of the week #2
Samirah, I respectfully offer the following, that our embryonic brothers and sisters ARE members of our society, not future members. Embryo is a very early stage of development in every human beings life, just as newborn, toddler, third-grader and legal voter are. It is we born human beings who label varoius points along the develomental continuum. At all times along that journey, we are human beings. Neither ovum nor sperm is a new human life. But together, successfully joined, they form the beginning of a new and unique member of our human family.. ReplyDelete ...
