1. 1. Cost-effectiveness and Value of Further Research of Treatment Strategies for Cardiovascular Disease

   Författare :Martin Henriksson; Per Carlsson; Fredrik Lundgren; Mark Scupher; Hans Severens; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Economic evaluation; decision-analytic modelling; prioritising research; carotid endarterectomy; abdominal aortic aneurysm; screening; non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome; early intervention; Health and medical services in society; Hälso- och sjukvård i samhället;

   Sammanfattning : Economic evaluations provide a tool to estimate costs and health consequences of competing medical technologies, ultimately to aid decision makers when deciding which medical technologies should be funded from available resources. Such decisions inevitably need to be taken under uncertainty and it is not clear how to approach them in health care decision-making. LÄS MER

3. 2. Costs and consequences in perioperative care : analytic models in studies on pain treatment and on haemodynamic optimization of elderly patients

   Författare :Erzsebet Bartha; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Because resources are scarce in health care, costs and consequences of new interventions must be assessed to support informed policy decisions. This thesis analyses the cost-effectiveness of advanced postoperative pain treatment and perioperative haemodynamic optimization by applying decision modelling as an analytic framework. 1. LÄS MER

4. 3. The health economics of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

   Författare :Erik Landfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle degeneration resulting in loss of independent ambulation, serious multisystem complications, and a mean life expectancy at birth of about 25 years. Several therapies are on the horizon for DMD and it has thus become urgent to better understand the health economic context of the disease to enable assessments of cost-effectiveness and inform decisions regarding reimbursement of new health technologies.

5. 4. Health Economic Evaluations of Screening Programs - Applications and Method Improvements

   Författare :Mattias Aronsson; Lars-Åke Levin; Lars Bernfort; Mark Schulper; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Screening to detect diseases early is attractive as it can improve the prognosis and decrease costs, but it is often a problematic concept and there are several pitfalls. Many healthy individuals have to be investigated to avoid a disease in a few, which results in a dilemma because to save a few, many are exposed to a procedure that could potentially harm them.

7. 5. The matter of economic evaluations in health policy decision-making : The case of the Swedish national guidelines for heart diseases

   Författare :Nathalie Eckard; Lars-Åke Levin; Magnus Janzon; Ann-Charlotte Nedlund; Clas Rehnberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Economic evaluations are used to inform decision makers about the efficient allocation of scarce healthcare resources and are generated with the direct intent to support decisions in healthcare. Producing guidelines is a complex process and the inclusion of health-economic aspects in the formulation of the Swedish national guidelines as a basis for the written recommendations (priority gradings), distinguishes them from their European counterparts.
