Evidence of the adverse effects of air pollution on the population's health in Spain: analysis of the economic costs of premature deaths
This study explores the relation between mortality rates and particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the 50 Spanish regions for the period 2002-2017. Moreover, we estimated the premature deaths due to PM in Spain according to welfare and production losses in 2017. Random-effects models were developed to evaluate the relation between mortality rates and PM concentrations. The economic cost of premature deaths was assessed using the Willingness to Pay approach to quantify welfare losses and the Human Capital method to estimate production losses. PM10 concentrations are positively related to mortality due to respiratory dis...

EE498 Cost of Follow-Up After an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Event in Patients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Spain: Results from the Reality Study
Ischemic cerebrovascular events stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) are a cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries and entails a high resources consumption and costs for health systems. These patients have an increased risk of suffering a new event with the consequent additional resource consumption and an increased follow-up cost.

RWD149 Reduction in Ischemic Stroke Rates in Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation During the Period 2013-2020: A Real-Life Study in Spain
The aim of this study is to analyze the variations in the incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality rates in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) receiving antithrombotic treatment (VKA, NOAC or antiplatelet drugs) between 2013 and 2020. In addition, this study estimates the impact of these variations in the use of healthcare resources and costs in Spain.
