Financial penalty associated with a decline in hospital-acquired complications in Australia
Evidence for pay-for-performance (p4p) and hospital patient safety has been inconclusive. • A p4p policy targeting hospital-acquired complications was introduced across Australia. • The policy’s introduction was associated with a decline in complications. • No evidence of gaming and systematic miscoding was observed. • P4p may can potentially complement other efforts to improve safety of hospital care. Adverse events during hospital care are a gl…
Investigation of the health economic analysis of informal care for people living with a chronic neurological disease
A Comprehensive Systematic Review of Data Linkage Publications on Diabetes in Australia
Assessment of health-related quality of life in Australian patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
The EQ-5D-5L demonstrated superior performance when compared to AQoL-8D in persons with IPF. This may be attributable to the high symptom burden which is physically debilitating to which the EQ-5D-5L may be more sensitive
The impact of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis on health state utility values
Impact of overweight and obesity on life expectancy, quality-adjusted life years and lifetime costs in the adult population of Ghana
INTRODUCTION: Prior studies have revealed the increasing prevalence of obesity and its associated health effects among ageing adults in resource poor countries. However, no study has examined the long-term and economic impact of overweight and obesity in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, we quantified the long-term impact of overweight and obesity on life expectancy (LE), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and total direct healthcare costs. METHODS…
Health service utilization and direct healthcare costs associated with obesity in older adult population in Ghana
Obesity is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases and disabilities, with severe implications on morbidity and mortality among older adults. With an increasing prevalence of obesity among older adults in Ghana, it has become necessary to develop cost-effective strategies for its management and prevention. However, developing such strategies is challenging as body mass index (BMI)-specific utilization and costs required for cost-effectivenes…
Annual transition probabilities of overweight and obesity in older adults
