Carga da doença, social e econômica do tabagismo no Brasil e impacto do aumento de impostos para a economia e para a redução da morbimortalidade
Este estudo buscou estimar a carga da doença, social e econômica do tabagismo no Brasil em 2022 e prever os benefícios do aumento de impostos, com a inclusão dos efeitos do mercado ilegal. Aplicou-se um modelo de microsimulação probabilística de Markov no qual indivíduos a partir de 35 anos foram acompanhados em coortes hipotéticas, quantificando as mortes, os eventos de saúde, o custo direto da assistência médica e o custo indireto por perda de …
Disease burden from tobacco consumption in Peru and the projected effect of strengthening control measures
Motivation for the study. Despite progress in tobacco control, the economic and disease burden in Peru remains high. Strengthening smoke-free regulations, implementing plain packaging, banning tobacco promotion and sponsorship, and increasing taxes could reduce it. Main findings. Tobacco use causes 22,350 deaths and 126,000 disease events annually in Peru, resulting in a loss of 1.28% of GDP. Strengthening tobacco control policies would prevent t…

Exploring gender disparities in the disease and economic tobacco-attributable burden in Latin America
Introduction: Tobacco use has significant health consequences in Latin America, and while studies have examined the overall impact, the gender-specific effects have not been thoroughly researched. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective tobacco control policies. The objective of this study was to explore the differences in tobacco-attributable disease and economic burden between men and women in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia…
Budget impact of upadacitinib in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in Argentina
Motivation for the study. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease that hasn’t cure, so it’s important to know the budget impact of treatment with upadacitinib (UPA) 15 mg + methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe RA who didn’t respond well to conventional antirheumatic drugs. Main findings. UPA + MTX would entail a minimal increase in costs for the healthcare system in Argentina, potentially making this effective treatment option mo…
Unlocking the power of tobacco taxation to mitigate the social costs of smoking in Mexico
Despite being the most cost-effective tobacco control policy, tobacco taxation is the least implemented component of the World Health Organization MPOWER package to reduce smoking worldwide. In Mexico, both smoking prevalence and taxation have remained stable for more than a decade. This study aims to provide evidence about the potential effects of taxation to reduce the burden of tobacco-related diseases and the main attributable social costs in…

Presentations and deliberative workshops …
Health, economic and social burden of tobacco in Latin America and the expected gains of fully implementing taxes, plain packaging, advertising bans and smoke-free environments control measures
Smoking represents a substantial burden in Latin America. The full implementation of tobacco control measures could successfully avert deaths and disability, reduce healthcare spending and caregiver and productivity losses, likely resulting in large net economic benefits
Carga de enfermedad y económica atribuible al consumo de bebidas azucaradas en El Salvador
Objetivo. Estimar la carga de enfermedad y económica atribuible al consumo de bebidas azucaradas en El Salvador. Métodos.

Health and economic burden of sugar-sweetened beverages consumption in Brazil
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are a major source of added sugar and are associated with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity and diabetes. This study assessed the impact of SSBs consumption on disease burden in Brazil, including deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and healthcare costs. A 3-stage methodology was used to assess the direct effects of SSBs on diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and body mass index (BMI), alon…
Development and application of a dynamic transmission model of health systems’ preparedness and response to Covid-19 in twenty-six Latin American and Caribbean countries
The global impact of COVID-19 has challenged health systems across the world. This situation highlighted the need to develop policies based on scientific evidence to prepare the health systems and mitigate the pandemic. In this scenario, governments were urged to predict the impact of the measures they were implementing, how they related to the population’s behavior, and the capacity of health systems to respond to the pandemic. The overarching a…
Alcohol-attributable burden of cancer in Argentina
Most cancer deaths and DALYs were attributable to moderate alcohol consumption (50%). This calls for implementation of population-wide strategies-instead of targeting heavy drinking only-to effectively reduce harmful use of alcohol and its impact on disease burden
Optimizing Tobacco Advertising Bans in Seven Latin American Countries
Optimizing a ban on tobacco advertising and sponsorship would substantially reduce deaths, diseases, and health care costs attributed to smoking. Latin American countries should not delay the full implementation of this strategy

Carga do tabagismo no Brasil e benefício potencial do aumento de impostos sobre os cigarros para a economia e para a redução de mortes e adoecimento
A prevalência do tabagismo no Brasil reduziu sobremaneira nas últimas décadas, mas o país ainda tem uma elevada carga de doença associada a este fator de risco. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar a carga de mortalidade, morbidade e custos para a sociedade associada ao tabagismo em 2015 e o potencial impacto gerado em desfechos de saúde e para a economia a partir do aumento de preços dos cigarros por meio de impostos.

Health economic evaluation of Human Papillomavirus vaccines in women from Venezuela by a lifetime Markov cohort model
Immunization with the bivalent or quadrivalent HPV vaccines showed to be cost-saving or cost-effective in Venezuela, falling below the threshold of one Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita (104,404 VEF) per QALY gained. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these results
