Predicting The Onset Of Diabetes-Related Complications After A Diabetes Diagnosis With Machine Learning Algorithms
The burden of Diabetes has been ranked as the eighth cause in the ranking of causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) all over the world [1,2], accounting for 2.8% of total DALYs and with an increase of more than 148% in 2019 as compared with the data obtained in 1990 [2]. Diabetes is one of the most significant factors increasing the risk of mortality, morbidity, and disability worldwide, and its economic burden demands new ways to curb diabetes healthcare expenditure [3]. Furthermore, people with diabetes are at greater risk of additionally suffering from cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack or stroke [4...

Quantifying the potential effects of air pollution reduction on population health and health expenditure in Taiwan
Environ Pollut. 2023 Aug 17:122405. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122405. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAir pollution, particularly ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution, poses a significant risk to public health, underscoring the importance of comprehending the long-term impact on health burden and expenditure at national and subnational levels. Therefore, this study aims to quantify the disease burden and healthcare expenditure associated with PM2.5 exposure in Taiwan and assess the potential benefits of reducing pollution levels. Using a comparative risk assessment framework that integrates an auto-aggressive i...

Towards meaningful community ambulation in individuals post stroke through use of a smart hip exoskeleton: a preliminary investigation
Assist Technol. 2023 Jul 26. doi: 10.1080/10400435.2023.2239555. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, leaving survivors with profound mobility challenges that impact independent community ambulation. Evidence shows assistance at the hip during walking may be beneficial for stroke survivors. In this cross-over design study, we examine the impact of a novel hip exoskeleton on both functional and patient reported outcomes measuring speed, fall risk, gait symmetry, energy expenditure and perceived walking ability during both indoors and outdoors in single and s...

China stroke surveillance report 2021
AbstractSince 2015, stroke has become the leading cause of death and disability in China, posing a significant threat to the health of its citizens as a major chronic non-communicable disease. According to the China Stroke High-risk Population Screening and Intervention Program, an estimated 17.8 million [95% confidence interval (CI) 17.6 –18.0 million] adults in China had experienced a stroke in 2020, with 3.4 million (95% CI 3.3–3.5 million) experiencing their first-ever stroke and another 2.3 million (95% CI 2.2–2.4 million) dying as a result. Additionally, approximately 12.5% (95% CI 12.4–12.5%) of stroke survi...

Atrial Cardiopathy: Redefining Stroke Risk Beyond Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke are dual epidemics in society, both associated with poor clinical outcomes, patient disability, and significant healthcare expenditure. The conditions are interrelated and share complex causal pathways. Risk stratification algorithms such as the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score offer predictive value in stroke and systemic embolism risk in the AF population, however, have limitations. Recent evidence suggests that an intrinsically prothrombotic atrial substrate may precede and promote AF and lead to thromboembolic events independent of the arrhythmia, allowing for a window of inter...

The costs associated with stroke care continuum: a systematic review
AbstractStroke, a leading cause of death and long-term disability, has a considerable social and economic impact. It is imperative to investigate stroke-related costs. The main goal was to conduct a systematic literature review on the described costs associated with stroke carecontinuum to better understand the evolution of the economic burden and logistic challenges. This research used a systematic review method. We performed a search in PubMed/MEDLINE, ClinicalTrial.gov, Cochrane Reviews, and Google Scholar confined to publications from January 2012 to December 2021. Prices were adjusted using consumer price indices of t...

Current State of Stroke Care in the Philippines
Stroke remains the leading cause of disability and death in the Philippines. Evaluating the current state of stroke care, the needed resources, and the gaps in health policies and programs is crucial to decrease stroke-related mortality and morbidity effectively. This paper aims to characterize the Philippines' stroke system of care and network using the World Health Organization health system building blocks framework. To integrate existing national laws and policies governing stroke and its risk factors dispersed across many general policies, the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) institutionalized a national policy f...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 4129: Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness between Inpatient and Home-Based Post-Acute Care Models for Stroke Rehabilitation in Taiwan
Willy Chou Stroke rehabilitation focuses on alleviating post-stroke disability. Post-acute care (PAC) offers an intensive rehabilitative program as transitional care following acute stroke. A novel home-based PAC program has been initiated in Taiwan since 2019. Our study aimed to compare the current inpatient PAC model with a novel home-based PAC model in cost-effectiveness and functional recovery for stroke patients in Taiwan. One hundred ninety-seven stroke patients eligible for the PAC program were divided into two different health interventional groups. One received rehabilitation during hospitalization, and the o...

Tackling diabetes: how nurses can make the difference.
Authors: El Berri H, Gedik FG, Belkhadir J, Catton H, Hammerich A, Oweis A, Slama S Abstract This year, World Diabetes Day on 14 November coincides with the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, and therefore focuses on highlighting the role of nurses in the prevention and management of diabetes. Diabetes is recognized as an important cause of premature death and disability globally and in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, where its prevalence has been steadily increasing since 1990. Although the annual decline of the risk of dying from a major noncommunicable disease between the ages of 30 and 70 ye...
