Patterns and predictors of the transition between minimally adequate treatment and effective treatment coverage for mental disorders
BACKGROUND: The quality of mental disorder treatment varies widely, with many patients not receiving treatments based on evidence-based guidelines. We examine data from the World Mental Health (WMH) surveys to investigate prevalence and correlates of receiving effective treatment coverage (ETC) among patients receiving minimally adequate treatment (MAT) in the 12 months before interview. METHODS: Data come from 25 WMH surveys carried out in 21 co…
The economic burden of atopic dermatitis in Romania
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD), a common dermatological condition, is often associated with significant economic and social burdens. Despite extensive studies globally, there is a gap in understanding the impact of this condition in Romania. This study evaluated the economic burden of AD in Romania, considering both direct and indirect costs. Materials and methods: A cost of illness study, conducted from a broad perspective, considering 202…

Health care provider payment schemes and their changes since 2010 across nine Central and Eastern European countries – a comparative analysis
Central and Eastern European countries are increasingly using blended payment methods. • Recent changes focused on modifying existing payment methods and/or adding new ones. • Modification often included: detailing payment categories, changing the principles of tariff valuation. • The same objectives were often pursued by different changes to payment methods. • Evaluations should be part an integral part of the provider payment reforms projects. …
Factors Influencing Health Care Providers Payment Reforms in Central and Eastern European Countries
Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries have recently implemented reforms to health care provider payment systems, which include changing payment methods and related systems such as contracting, management information systems, and accountability mechanisms. This study examines factors influencing provider payment reforms implemented since 2010 in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. A four-sta…
Age of onset and cumulative risk of mental disorders
BACKGROUND: Information on the frequency and timing of mental disorder onsets across the lifespan is of fundamental importance for public health planning. Broad, cross-national estimates of this information from coordinated general population surveys were last updated in 2007. We aimed to provide updated and improved estimates of age-of-onset distributions, lifetime prevalence, and morbid risk. METHODS: In this cross-national analysis, we analyse…

Cross-Sectional Study on Hospital Admission for Asthma Patients in Romania, 2008-2018
The current article looks on the hospital admission rates variance for asthma in the years following Romanian admission to EU. For this aim a cross-sectional study for period 2008-2018 was carried out, focused on the activity of Romanian hospitals reporting primary data at the patient level in the DRG National Database. Descriptive and comparative analyses were used in order to identify the profi le and trend in number of cases and rate of asthma…
Time Series Analysis and Forecasting with Automated Machine Learning on a National ICD-10 Database
The application of machine learning (ML) for use in generating insights and making predictions on new records continues to expand within the medical community. Despite this progress to date, the application of time series analysis has remained underexplored due to complexity of the underlying techniques. In this study, we have deployed a novel ML, called automated time series (AutoTS) machine learning, to automate data processing and the applicat…
Aggressive Behaviors among 15–16-Year-Old Romanian High School Students
The aim of this paper is to examine aggressive behaviors among Romanian high school students between 15 and 16 years old, to compare data in two national representative samples and to identify factors associated with physical fighting. This study investigates the association of selected factors (social, school performance and substance use) with physical fighting. A total of 2289 Romanian students were included in the 2007 database and 2770 in th…
