Beyond death counts
Introduction: Excess mortality attributable to COVID-19 has been extensively investigated in the public health literature. This study extends the scope of previous findings by estimating three interrelated measures, excess deaths, excess Years of Life Lost, and excess Years of Potential Productive Life Lost, in 28 European countries across 2020-2023. Materials and methods: Using annual sex- and 5-year age-specific mortality data for 2002-2019, we…
Excess work incapacity during and after the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland
Magnitude and determinants of excess total, age-specific and sex-specific all-cause mortality in 24 countries worldwide during 2020 and 2021
INTRODUCTION: To examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality, we estimated excess all-cause mortality in 24 countries for 2020 and 2021, overall and stratified by sex and age. METHODS: Total, age-specific and sex-specific weekly all-cause mortality was collected for 2015-2021 and excess mortality for 2020 and 2021 was calculated by comparing weekly 2020 and 2021 age-standardised mortality rates against expected mortality, estimated b…
Production losses attributable to suicide deaths in European Union
Public health actions aimed at prevention of suicides might reduce their health burden but also contribute to the economic welfare of European societies
Production losses associated with premature mortality in 28 European Union countries
BACKGROUND: There has been a growing interest in the economic burden of mortality; however, a majority of evidence is concerned with particular diseases. Less is known on the overall cost of all-cause early deaths, principally in international context. Therefore, this study aims to estimate production losses of premature mortality across 28 European Union (EU-28) countries in 2015. METHODS: The human capital method was applied to estimate the pro…
Prevalence, Reasons, and Predisposing Factors Associated with 30-day Hospital Readmissions in Poland
There is a growing interest in quality issues associated with hospital care, with readmissions (rehospitalizations) being one of the main areas of interest. Retrospective data from a 914-bed university hospital in Bydgoszcz, Poland, was used to identify 30-day readmissions in 2015. We developed a catalogue of reasons for rehospitalization and differentiated between planned and unplanned readmissions, as well as those related and unrelated to inde…
Production Losses Associated with Alcohol-Attributable Mortality in the European Union
The economic aspects of alcohol misuse are attracting increasing attention from policy makers and researchers but the evidence on the economic burden of this substance is hardly comparable internationally. This study aims to overcome this problem by estimating production losses (indirect costs) associated with alcohol-attributable mortality in 28 European Union (EU) countries in the year 2016. This study applies the prevalence-based top-down appr…
Indirect costs and incidence of caregivers’ short-term absenteeism in Poland, 2006–2016
Informal short-term caregiving leads to substantial productivity losses in the Polish economy, and the dynamic upward trend of care absence incidence suggests that the costs of caregiving are expected to rise in the future
Indirect costs and public finance consequences of heart failure in Poland, 2012–2015
HF is a substantial burden on the economy and public finance in Poland. By confronting the disease more effectively, the length and quality of life for those affected by HF could be improved, but society as a whole could also benefit from the increased economic output
Gender bias and sex-based differences in health care efficiency in Polish regions
Polish medical care suffers from gender bias, which possibly makes men more responsive to medical care. The disparities in the operation of medical care in Poland should be challenged to achieve more equal access to services between sexes and possibly to gain more health from the treatment of female patients
Public-private mix and performance of health care systems in CEE and CIS countries
The role of the public and private sector in health care systems remains one of the crucial problems of these systems' operation. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationships between the performance of health systems in CEE and CIS (Central and Eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent State) countries, and the mix of public-private sector in the health care of these countries. The study uses a zero unitarization method to c…
