Real-world cost-effectiveness of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir as treatment for Sars-CoV-2 infection in the Belgian setting with omicron variant
Background: Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir is an oral treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients who are at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 disease. This antiviral has proven to significantly reduce the risk of hospitalization and death compared to no anti-SARS-CoV-2 treatment in this target population. This paper aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir in Belgium using real-world evidence. Methods: A static decision t…
Public health impact and return on investment of Belgium’s pediatric immunization program
Objective: We evaluated the public health impact and return on investment of Belgium's pediatric immunization program (PIP) from both healthcare-sector and societal perspectives. Methods: , rotavirus, and meningococcal type C; hepatitis B was excluded because of surveillance limitations. The 2018 birth cohort was followed over its lifetime. The model projected and compared health outcomes and costs with and without immunization (based on vaccine-…
Development and first steps towards implementing population health management in Belgium
Background: Although the recent pilot projects on integrated care for the chronically ill fit within a population needs-based approach in Belgium, awareness and implementation of population health management is still limited and in its early stages. Therefore, this study aims to identify the views of Belgian stakeholders on hurdles and avenues to introduce population health management, to design a population health management approach to secondar…
Amortization of gene replacement therapies: A health policy analysis exploring a mechanism for mitigating budget impact of high-cost treatments
Impact, regulation and health policy implications of physician migration in OECD countries
BACKGROUND: In the face of rising demand for medical services due to ageing populations, physician migration flows are increasingly affecting the supply of physicians in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and development (OECD) countries. This paper offers an integrated perspective on the impact of physician migration on home and host countries and discusses international regulation and policy approaches governing physician migration.
