Equity of financial protection for health care in high-income countries
BACKGROUND: Financial protection is a central objective of health systems and a key mechanism for advancing health equity within universal health coverage. To date, evidence on the equity of financial protection in high-income countries has not been systematically synthesized. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the literature on the equity of financial protection for health care in high-income countries. METHODS: We conducted a systematic scoping review bas…
Machine learning used to study risk factors for chronic diseases
OBJECTIVES: Machine learning (ML) has received significant attention for its potential to process and learn from vast amounts of data. Our aim was to perform a scoping review to identify studies that used ML to study risk factors for chronic diseases at a population level, notably those that incorporated methods to mitigate algorithmic bias. We focused on ML applications for the most common risk factors for chronic disease: tobacco use, alcohol u…
A Discrete-Choice Experiment to Assess Patient Preferences for Long-Acting Injectable Treatments in Opioid Use Disorder in Australia, Finland, Germany, and Italy
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is characterized by dependence on opioids along with an inability to manage their use, leading to behaviors that impact patients’ lives. Long-acting injectable (LAI) treatments for OUD offer benefits compared with short-acting options. This study assessed treatment preferences of patients with OUD in Australia, Finland, Germany, and Italy regarding attributes of LAI buprenorphine. Based on a literature review and consult…
Socio-economic factors associated with alcohol and cannabis use across waves of the Covid-19 pandemic
Associations between SES and substance use differ by gender, race and age. To reduce health disparities, public health interventions should account for these interactions
The socioeconomic patterning of physical activity among middle-aged and older adults in Canada using the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) data
The doctor will not see you now
Background: The Canada Health Act mandates universal access to medical services for all Canadians. Despite this, there are significant disparities in access based on socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity, immigrant status, and indigeneity. However, there is limited evidence on the use of specialist services among older adults in Canada. The primary objective of this study is to identify the associations of social determinants of health with ac…
Cost-effectiveness of diagnostic technologies for mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in India and Brazil
The economic value of new skin-based tests and blood-based interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs) for tuberculosis (TB) infection is not yet well-established. This study evaluates the cost and cost-effectiveness in two high-burden countries by comparing:(a) new skin-based tests(Diaskintest and Cy-Tb) with the purified protein derivative (PPD)-tuberculin test (TST);(b) IGRAs (Standard E TB-Feron ELISA (TBF))with approved IGRAs (QuantiFERON-TB Gold Pl…
Covid-19 vaccine inequity and Big Pharma
Žižek, Agamben and the Idea of Democratic Biopolitics
Following the debate between Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj Žižek in response to the pandemic, this essay explores that the concept of ‘democratic biopolitics’ is a viable alternative to the concept of ‘populist biopolitics’. The concept problematizes the dominant intellectual sense of the pandemic (whether it is a rupture or event) by rendering that ‘heeding to the aspirations of ordinary citizens’ is the key to understandiing the pandemic. It also …
Slavoj Z?iz?ek. Pandemic! 2
As a sequel to the previous book on Covid-19, philosopher Slavoj Žižek has published another more comprehensive and insightful work. Capturing the imagination of academic philosophers and critical thinkers it is a prolific inquiry into the eventful time and crisis of Covid-19
Slavoj Žižek, Pandemic! Covid-19 Shakes the World
One of the major themes of the book is to recognize the seriousness of the situation and its possible outcomes. Žižek informs us that the only possible way to face the challenge is to realize that world leaders should unite and develop a global health care system presided over by the World Health organization. As it is obvious that almost every crisis creates opportunities of some kind Žižek seems to argue that in the current disaster there is po…
Coronavirus Pandemic
Employing an ontological approach to the coronavirus pandemic, this essay problematizes the relationship between modernity and the Nature. I suggest that the notion of scientific conquest of the Nature is not only flawed, but also counter-productive to our progress. Moreover, I suggest that this notion is adding to the development of the authoritarian state with mass-surveillance infrastructure

Health equity monitoring for healthcare quality assurance
Population-wide health equity monitoring remains isolated from mainstream healthcare quality assurance. As a result, healthcare organizations remain ill-informed about the health equity impacts of their decisions - despite becoming increasingly well-informed about quality of care for the average patient. We present a new and improved analytical approach to integrating health equity into mainstream healthcare quality assurance, illustrate how this…
Addressing care-seeking as well as insurance-seeking selection biases in estimating the impact of health insurance on out-of-pocket expenditure
How a universal health system reduces inequalities
BACKGROUND: Provision of universal coverage is essential for achieving equity in healthcare, but inequalities still exist in universal healthcare systems. Between 2004/2005 and 2011/2012, the National Health Service (NHS) in England, which has provided universal coverage since 1948, made sustained efforts to reduce health inequalities by strengthening primary care. We provide the first comprehensive assessment of trends in socioeconomic inequalit…

The effectiveness and cost implications of task-shifting in the delivery of antiretroviral therapy to HIV-infected patients
Health outcomes in economic evaluation
The quality-adjusted life year (QALY) is routinely used as a summary measure of health outcome for economic evaluation, which incorporates the impact on both the quantity and quality of life. Key studies relating to the QALY and utility measurement are the sources of data. Areas of agreement include the need for a standard measure of health outcome to enable comparisons across different disease areas and populations, and the methods used for valu…
