Cost-effectiveness of a photopethysmographic procedure for screening for atrial fibrillation in 6 European countries
ConclusionThe model results showed a strong dependence of the results on the country-specific costs for stroke treatment. The use of the investigated screening method is close to cost-neutral or cost-reducing in the Western European countries and Greece. In countries with low price levels, higher cost increases due to AF screening are to be expected. Lower costs of anticoagulation, which are expected due to the upcoming patent expiry of direct anticoagulants, have a positive effect on the cost result.

Cost-effectiveness of follow-up invasive coronary angiography after percutaneous coronary stenting: a real-world observational cohort study in Japan
Conclusions FUICA increased the costs but did not improve clinical benefits. Thus, FUICA is not economically more attractive than CF alone. Trial registration number UMIN000039768.

Cost-effectiveness of targeted screening for non-valvular atrial fibrillation in the United Kingdom in older patients using digital approaches
CONCLUSIONS: Screening for NVAF at ≥75 years of age could result in fewer NVAF-related strokes. NVAF screening is cost-effective and may be cost-saving depending on the program chosen.PMID:36757910 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2023.2179210

The effect of diabetes complications on health‐related quality of life: the importance of longitudinal data to address patient heterogeneity
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of six diabetes‐related complications (myocardial infarction, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, amputation and visual acuity) on quality of life, using seven rounds of EQ‐5D questionnaires administered between 1997 and 2007 in the UK Prospective Diabetes Study. The use of cross‐sectional data to make such estimates is widespread in the literature, being less expensive and easier to collect than repeated‐measures data. However, analysis of this dataset suggests that cross‐sectional analysis could produce biased estimates of the effect of complications on QoL. Using fix...

Stem cells: what happened to the radical breakthroughs?
Much was promised in the late 1990s, but the challenge of advances such as growing whole human organs has been difficult to deliverIt's 1998 and science is taking big strides. The first cloned mammal, Dolly the Sheep, has just had her first lamb; the first robotically assisted heart surgery has been completed; Furbys have hit the shelves. In a bold announcement, biomedical engineer Professor Michael Sefton declared that within 10 years, scientists would have grown an entire heart, fit for transplant. "We're shooting big," he said. "Our vision is that we'll be able to pop out a damaged heart and replace it as easily as you ...

Traumatic injury may be a predisposing factor for cerebrovascular accident - Wojcik JB, Benns MV, Franklin GA, Harbrecht BG, Broughton-Miller KD, Frisbie MC, Smith JW, Pentecost KM, Bozeman MC.
The purpose of the study was to assess whether trauma may be an independent risk factor for stroke. Evidence has shown that trauma patients experience a hypercoagulable state postinjury, increasing the risk of thrombotic events. A case-controlled, retrospe...

Cross-country variation in additive effects of socio-economics, health behaviors, and comorbidities on subjective health of patients with diabetes
Conclusion: Countries show different profiles of social and behavioral determinants of subjective health among patients with diabetes. Our study suggests that universal programs that assume that determinants of well-being are similar across different countries may be over-simplistic. Thus instead of universal programs that use one protocol for health promotion of patients in all countries, locally designed interventions should be implemented in each country.

Hospitalizations For Atrial Fibrillation Are On The Rise
In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common heart rhythm disorder. Although it is sometimes thought to be relatively benign, AF increases the risk of stroke if untreated. Even if treated, it can be the source of significant discomfort and can contribute to additional complications, especially when accompanied by other cardiovascular conditions. Now a new study published in Circulation finds that hospitalizations for AF are on the increase, and this may have important implications for the delivery and economics of health care in the coming years.

Communicating about family health history: heredity, culture, iatrogenesis and the public good
Family health history is the genetic and ecological contributions and interactions, or what others may refer to as the genomic and bionomic inputs, affecting the life course of family members. The adage to ‘know your family history’ promoted in public health and clinical settings emphasises having awareness of first and second degree relatives’ health status, including causes and outcomes of morbidity and mortality. An overarching aim of promoting awareness of family health history resides in making health a public good accessible to all through informed decisions about resource allocation in personal and...
