The Long Coronavirus Disease (COVID) Symptom and Severity Score: Development, Validation, and Application
The primary focus of this research is the proposition of a methodological framework for the clinical application of the long coronavirus disease (COVID) Symptom and Severity Score (LC-SSS). This tool is not just a self-reported assessment instrument developed and validated but serves as a standardized, quantifiable means to monitor the diverse and persistent symptoms frequently observed in individuals suffering from long COVID.

Cost-effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel for adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma in the United States
The results of a recent single-arm trial (ZUMA-5) of axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) for relapsed/refractory (r/r) FL demonstrated high rates of durable response and tolerable toxicity among treated patients. To quantify the value of axi-cel compared to standard of care (SOC) to manage r/r FL patients who have had at least two prior lines of systemic therapy (3L+), a cost-effectiveness model was developed from a US third-party payer perspective.

It takes two to tango. Setting out the conditions in which performance-based risk-sharing arrangements work for both parties.
Faster regulatory approval processes often fail to achieve faster patient access. We seek an approach, using performance-based risk-sharing arrangements (PBRSA), to address uncertainty for payers regarding the relative effectiveness and value for money of products launched through accelerated approval schemes.One important reason for risk-sharing is to resolve differences of opinion between innovators and payers about a technology ’s underlying value. To date, there has been no formal attempt to set out the circumstances in which risk-sharing can address these differences. (Source: Value in Health)
