Normative values for paid and unpaid work productivity for estimating productivity-adjusted life expectancy in Finland
BACKGROUND: Normative regional estimates of productivity are essential for deriving reliable predictions of productivity-adjusted life expectancy (PALE). This study aimed to establish Finnish population norms for health-related productivity by estimating age- and sex-specific norms for paid and unpaid work productivity indices, as well as combined weighted productivity index. Using national life expectancy data, corresponding PALE values were als…
How can we reduce the cost of OSCEs? A cost-minimization and test accuracy study
INTRODUCTION: Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are resource‐intensive, yet little empirical evidence exists on how specific design choices influence cost. This study evaluated the cost implications of multiple OSCE variations while examining whether these modifications affect test accuracy. METHODS: A test accuracy and cost-minimization study was conducted using four years of OSCE data from an undergraduate pharmacy program. Var…
Australian population norms for paid work productivity and exploratory estimates for unpaid work productivity
The productivity-adjusted life years metric was developed to quantify the impact of disease on work productivity. To establish baseline distributions for comparing disease burdens across health conditions and populations, this study estimated Australian population norms for the paid work productivity index and productivity-adjusted life expectancy (PALE) including exploratory estimates for unpaid work. This study primarily used data from the Hous…
Considering equity and cost-effectiveness in assessing a parenting intervention to promote early childhood development in rural Vietnam
Considering equity in early childhood development (ECD) is important to ensure healthy development for every child. Equity-informative cost-effectiveness analysis can further guide decision makers to maximize outcomes with limited resources while promoting equity. This cost-effectiveness study aimed to examine the equity impacts of a multicomponent ECD intervention in rural Vietnam. We estimated the cost-effectiveness of the intervention with a 3…
Treatment costs for patients with Streptococcus suis infection in Northern Thailand
IE, GCS, length of stay, and bicarbonate level were significant cost drivers associated with direct medical costs. Patients' clinical status during admission significantly impacts the outcomes and total treatment costs. Early diagnosis and timely treatment were paramount to alleviate long-term complications and high healthcare expenditures
Equity in Economic Evaluations of Early Childhood Development Interventions in Low-and Middle-Income Countries
Consideration of equity in evaluations of early childhood interventions provides a more complete picture of cost-effectiveness, and can improve equity. Greater focus on promoting equity consideration, multi-sectoral interventions, and researchers in LMICs would support evidence-based interventions and policies to achieve equity in child development
Lifetime impact of being underweight or overweight/obese during childhood in Vietnam
Our results suggest that addressing underweight and overweight/obesity will contribute to reducing deaths and increasing years of life lived and QALYs. Policies and interventions in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals to address underweight and overweight/obesity are necessary to achieve health for all
Effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, Sars-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality
Economic evaluation methods used in home‐visiting interventions
Home-visiting interventions are used to improve outcomes for families experiencing disadvantage. As scarce resources must be allocated carefully, appropriate methods are required to provide accurate information on the effect of these programmes. We aimed to investigate: economic evaluation/analysis methods used in home-visiting programmes for children, young people and families, study designs and methods suitable in situations where randomised-co…
Personal healthcare costs borne by younger people living with arthritis in Australia
Arthritis is a long-term musculoskeletal disease, requiring ongoing management. However, the financial burden of managing arthritis is under-explored and is yet to be quantified from the perspective of individuals with the condition. Using an exploratory observational design, this study aimed to quantify arthritis-related costs borne by a sample of working-age adults aged 18-50 years who responded to the study advertisement. Participants complete…
Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, including 13 underlying causes of cardiovascular death and 9 related risk factors, using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. GBD, an ongoing multinational collaboration to provide comparable and consisten…
The impact of diabetes on the productivity and economy of Bangladesh
AIMS: To estimate the impact of type 2 diabetes in terms of mortality, years of life lost (YLL) and productivity-adjusted life years (PALY) lost in Bangladesh. METHODS: A life table model was constructed to estimate the productivity of the Bangladeshi population of current working age (20-59 years) with diabetes. Follow-up to 60 years (retirement age) was simulated. The life table analysis was then repeated assuming that the cohort did not have d…
Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017
BackgroundThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 comparative risk assessment (CRA) is a comprehensive approach to risk factor quantification that offers a useful tool for synthesising evidence on risks and risk–outcome associations. With each annual GBD study, we update the GBD CRA to incorporate improved methods, new risks and risk–outcome pairs, and new data on risk exposure levels and risk–outcome associatio…
Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys) for 359 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017
BACKGROUND: How long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, and how the population's state of health and leading causes of disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, and provision of services. We comparatively assessed the patterns and trends of healthy life expectancy (HALE), which quantifies the number of years of life expected to be lived in good health, and the complementary measure o…
Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015
BACKGROUND: Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigation of observed and expected mortality patterns bas…

BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 provides an up-to-date synthesis of the evidence for risk factor exposure and the attributable burden of disease. By providing national and subnational assessments spanning the past 25 years, this study can inform debates on the importance of addressing risks in context. METHODS: We used the comparative risk assessment framework developed for previous iterations of t…
Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 310 diseases and injuries, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world's population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes affecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we estimated the incidence, prevalence, and years liv…
