Ambient temperature variations and antimicrobial resistance
Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global health crisis being worsened by climate change. Studies of temperature–AMR associations remain limited by geographic scope, time frames and linear approaches. We aimed to identify temperature thresholds where AMR dynamics shift across pathogen–drug combinations, periods and socioeconomic contexts. Methods We analysed data from 56 countries and territories over 24 years (1999–2022),…
Health technology assessment of surgical robots
Background: Surgical robots enhance precision and enable minimally invasive procedures but pose challenges for traditional Health Technology Assessment (HTA) due to high costs, organizational disruption, and rapid iteration. Core content: This review first reviews the development trajectory of surgical robots and their applications in modern surgery. It then elaborates on the fundamental definition and value dimensions of HTA, highlighting the ID…
Does the impact of economic inequality on maternal and child health inequality exhibit a threshold effect? Evidence from China
When the economy (economic inequality) develops to a certain level, does the impact of economic inequality on health inequality change? Through threshold regression, this study analyses the impact of city-level economic inequality on the absolute and economic-related inequality in under-5 child mortality rate (U5MR) (2001-2012) and maternal mortality rate (MMR) (2001-2015), along with the threshold values for economic development stages and econo…
Impact of Urban–Rural Health Insurance Integration on Mental Health Among Rural Adults in China
Objective: Few studies have examined the psychological effects of expanding and integrating health insurance programmes. This study aimed to examine the effects of health insurance on mental health based on a large natural experiment in China: the integration of the rural and urban resident health insurance programmes. Methods: Using four waves of data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) collected in 2011, 2013, 2015 …
Effects of separating drug sales from treatment on medical disputes
Health insurance and subjective well-being
Health insurance coverage and the risk protection it provides may improve enrollees’ subjective well-being (SWB), as demonstrated, e.g. by Oregon Medicaid’s randomized expansion significantly improving enrollees’ mental health and happiness. Yet little evidence from low- and middle-income countries documents the link between insurance coverage and SWB. We analyse individual-level data on a large natural experiment in China: the integration of the…
Efficacy of personalised text message intervention in reducing smoking frequency and amount for non-abstinent smokers
Background: Emerging evidence supports the efficacy of mobile phone interventions for smoking cessation. However, behaviour changes of smokers who fail to reach abstinence and the related psychological mechanism are still understudied. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a behaviour change theory-based smoking cessation intervention delivered through personalised text messages from the perspective of smokers who fail to reach abstinence. Methods…
Incorporating productivity loss in health economic evaluations
INTRODUCTION: Productivity loss may contribute to a large proportion of costs of health conditions in an economic evaluation from a societal perspective, but there is currently a lack of methodological consensus on how productivity loss should be measured and valued. Despite the research progress surrounding this issue in other countries, it has been rarely discussed in China. METHODS: We reviewed the official guidelines on economic evaluations i…
Effectiveness of a mobile-based HIV prevention intervention for the rural and low-income population, with incentive policies for doctors in Liangshan, China
ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT05015062 ; Registered on June 6, 2022
Hukou as benefits
As China encourages urbanisation, a necessary process is the urbanisation of its people, granting local-urban hukou, or local citizenship, to migrant populations. But reforms encouraging urbanisation are dependent on migrant populations wanting to become formal, registered urban residents. What is the demand for hukou? Based on a unique probabilistically-sampled contingent valuation survey of over 900 migrants in Beijing and Changsha, we use migr…
Incorporating future unrelated medical costs in cost-effectiveness analysis in China
The occurrence of future unrelated medical costs is a direct consequence of life-prolonging interventions, but most pharmacoeconomic guidelines recommend the exclusion of these costs. The Chinese guidelines were updated in 2020, taking an exclusion approach for the future unrelated medical cost. We notice the research surrounding this issue continues in other countries and leads to an inclusion recommendation in some guidelines. Meanwhile, this i…
Will high-speed railway influence the healthcare seeking behaviour of patients? Quasi-experimental evidence from China
This study examines the impacts of high-speed railway (HSR) transportation on the healthcare-seeking behaviour of patients along newly integrated areas of Sichuan province, China. The opening of the Cheng–Mian–Le intercity HSR is considered as quasi-experimental evidence from China, and we make a propensity score matching the difference in differences research design, using data from the monthly report database of the Sichuan Province health stat…
Income-related health inequality among Chinese adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
Per capita household income last year, experiences of food and medication shortage, self-reported family member COVID-19 infection, and physical activity are important contributors to health inequalities, especially mental health in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Intervention programs should be implemented to support vulnerable groups
The association between iodine intake and semen quality among fertile men in China
In general, iodine deficiency and excess were both associated with decreasing semen quality parameters in male respondents
Does Ownership Matter for Medical System Performance? Evidence From a Natural Experiment in Suqian, China
There has long been a major policy debate on the role of hospital ownership (private vs public) in medical system performance. China's health care delivery system is mainly a public system. In 2000, a full privatization reform was implemented in the city of Suqian, offering a unique opportunity to assess possible effects of private delivery based on a major external shock to the existing system. Compared with all other cities in Jiangsu province …
Association between provincial income levels and drug prices in China over the period 2010-2017
Characteristics and health burden of the undiagnosed population at risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China
There is a substantial group of individuals, undiagnosed, but living with a risk of COPD, who have impaired HRQoL, lower productivity and elevated healthcare resource use patterns. Case-detection tools such as the LFQ may prove a quick and cost-effective approach for identifying these at-risk individuals for further definitive testing and appropriate treatment in China
China's Health Reform Update
China experienced both economic and epistemological transitions within the past few decades, greatly increasing demand for accessible and affordable health care. These shifts put significant pressure on the existing outdated, highly centralized bureaucratic system. Adjusting to growing demands, the government has pursued a new round of health reforms since the late 2000s; the main goals are to reform health care financing, essential drug policies…
How does social capital matter to the health status of older adults? Evidence from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey
Is Chinese National Health Insurance Effective in the Face of Severe Illness? A Perspective from Health Service Utilization and Economic Burden
Chinese Time Trade-Off Values for EQ-5D Health States
OBJECTIVE: To generate a Chinese general population-based three-level EuroQol five-dimensios (EQ-5D-3L) social value set using the time trade-off method. METHODS: The study sample was drawn from five cities in China: Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Chengdu, and Nanjing, using a quota sampling method. Utility values for a subset of 97 health states defined by the EQ-5D-3L descriptive system were directly elicited from the study sample using a modifi…
Payment reform and changes in health care in China
Developing the Chinese version of the new 5-level EQ-5D descriptive system
The Chinese version of the EQ-5D-5L comprises descriptors with similar interpretations as those used its English and Spanish counterparts. The response scaling exercise is a useful method for cross-cultural adaptation of health-status instruments
Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use and Healthcare Expenditures in the US Community-Dwelling Elderly
BACKGROUND: Potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use is a major source of drug-related problems in the elderly. Few studies have quantified the effect of PIM use on total healthcare expenditures in the United States. OBJECTIVES: : We sought to determine the relationship between PIM use and healthcare expenditure and to estimate the annual incremental healthcare expenditures related to PIM use in the community-dwelling elderly population in …
