Budget impact analysis for dapagliflozin in type 2 diabetes in Egypt.
Conclusion: Treating T2DM patients using dapagliflozin instead of conventional medications, maximizes patient's benefits and decreases total costs due to drug cost offsets from fewer cardiovascular and renal events. The adoption of dapagliflozin is a budget-saving treatment option, resulting in substantial population-level health gains due to reduced event rate and cost savings from the perspective of the national healthcare system.

A Systematic Review of the Association Between Hospital Cost/price and the Quality of Care
ConclusionOur results suggest that there is no general relationship between cost/price and the quality of care. However, the relationship seems to depend on the condition and specific resource utilization. Policy makers should be prudent with the measures used to reduce hospital costs to avoid endangering the quality of care, especially in resource-sensitive settings.

New ischemic lesions on brain MRI in patients with blunt traumatic cerebrovascular injury - Harrigan MR, Griffin RL, Deveikis JP, Prattipati V, Chimowitz MI, Jansen JO.
BACKGROUND: Patients with blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) are at risk of thromboembolic stroke. Although primary prevention with antithrombotic therapy is widely used in this setting, its effectiveness is not well defined, and requires further invest...

Gait rehabilitation after stroke: review of the evidence of predictors, clinical outcomes and timing for interventions - Selves C, Stoquart G, Lejeune T.
The recovery of walking capacity is one of the main aims in stroke rehabilitation. Being able to predict if and when a patient is going to walk after stroke is of major interest in terms of management of the patients and their family's expectations and in ...

Health-related quality of life and health utilities in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes: the impact of related comorbidities/complications
ConclusionsThe deleterious impact of comorbidities on insulin-dependent T2DM subjects ’ HRQoL has been confirmed and clinicians should adapt the priorities of disease management accordingly. The derived health utility estimates may be valuable for conducting economic evaluations of interventions in the area of T2DM when data are not available.

Medical Management of Left Ventricular Assist Device Patients: A Practical Guide for the Nonexpert Clinician
This article provides a concise overview of the medical management of LVAD patients for nonexpert clinicians. Our presentation includes the basics of LVAD physiology, design, and operation, patient selection and assessment, medical management, adverse event identification and management, multidisciplinary care, and management of special circumstances, such as noncardiac surgery, cardiac arrest, and end-of-life care. The clinical examination of LVAD patients is unique in terms of blood pressure and heart rate assessment, LVAD “hum” auscultation, driveline and insertion site inspection, and device parameter recording. Im...

Weather Fluctuations May Have an Impact on Stroke Occurrence in a Society: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Conclusions: Meteorological effects on the frequency of ambulance transportation due to stroke were studied. A lower temperature and radical humidity change were identified as risk factors for ambulance transportation due to stroke, and a decrease in temperature was also associated. We speculate on the possibilities of using meteorological data to optimize the assignment of limited medical resources in medical economics.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2020;10:1 –10

Do public and private hospitals differ in quality? Evidence from Italy
Publication date: Available online 30 January 2020Source: Regional Science and Urban EconomicsAuthor(s): Francesco Moscone, Luigi Siciliani, Elisa Tosetti, Giorgio VittadiniAbstractWe investigate whether public and private providers differ in quality in Lombardy, a large Italian region. This region has adopted an “internal market”model where public and private providers are paid by DRG and compete for publicly-funded patients for both elective and emergency treatments. Using a large administrative sample in 2012–14, we measure clinical quality with 30-day mortality for the following emergency conditions: heart attack...

What ’s the Big Deal about Data in Medtech?
Discussion, “Top 5 Things You Need to Know about the Implantable Internet of Things."
Brian Chapman, partner and leader of ZS’s medtech practice of ZS, attributes today’s focus on data to the intersection of two important things:
"A general recognition that understanding more and connecting actions with outcomes will provide feedback and understanding that will drive standards of care. This is not new, but as capabilities rise in data collection, aggregation, and synthesize rise, and coupled with machine learning, the promise of data in healthcare is becoming even more ...

Cost-Effectiveness of Extended and One-Time Screening Versus No Screening for Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in the USA
ConclusionsOur analysis suggests that, screening the general population at age 75 years for NVAF is cost effective at a WTP threshold of $100,000. Both extended screening and one-time screening for NVAF are expected to provide health benefits at an acceptable cost.
