Cost consequences of HIV-associated lipoatrophy
HIV-associated lipoatrophy may affect up to 35% of patients who have received antiretroviral (ARV) regimens for more than one year, and may result in depression, social isolation, and career barriers. Interventions including the injection of dermal fillers for restoration of facial fat loss are being used for treating HIV-associated lipoatrophy. Since reimbursement is often lacking, patients must consider the pros and cons of such interventions, …
A cost-benefit analysis of a cardiovascular disease prevention trial, using folate supplementation as an example
OBJECTIVES: This study illustrates a cost-benefit analysis of clinical trial design, using as an example a trial of folate supplementation to prevent cardiovascular disease. METHODS: Bayesian statistical and decision-analytic techniques were used to estimate the cost-benefit and sample size of a placebo-controlled trial of folate targeted to US citizens, aged 35 to 84 years, with elevated serum homocysteine levels. The main end point is event-fre…
Mortality, Hospital Admissions, and Medical Costs of End-Stage Renal Disease in the United States and Manitoba, Canada
OBJECTIVES: National registry data suggest that mortality rates among patients with end-stage renal disease are lower in Canada than in the United States. Casemix and treatment variables, although limited in such instances, do not explain this difference. Using a more complete set of casemix and treatment variables from clinical databases, this study assesses mortality, hospital admission, and the cost of medical care for patients with end-stage …
Eliminating Language Barriers for Non-English-Speaking Patients
OBJECTIVES: More than 31 million persons living in the United States do not speak English, therefore language discordance between the clinician and patient may hinder delivery of cost-effective medical care. A new language service was developed in which interpreters are trained in the skills of simultaneous interpretation commonly used at international conferences. The interpreters are linked from a remote site to headsets worn by the clinician a…
Minimum Data Needed on Patient Preferences for Accurate, Efficient Medical Decision Making
Involving patients in their health care decisions improves patient satisfaction and outcomes, but can be costly because of the materials and time needed to discuss the many issues that constitute a medical problem. The authors present a framework for identifying the minimum data needed on patient preferences for accurate medical decision making. The method is illustrated for the decision of whether patients with end-stage renal disease should und…
