21. Health economics and its measures in rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Objectives: To study: (I) the impact on cost-utility analyses of applying different national EuroQol 5-Dimensions (EQ-5D) preference sets; (II and III) whether, in methotrexate-refractory, early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the addition of infliximab results in superior health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and may be considered cost-effective, as compared to adding sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine; (IV) how costs relate to disability (measured by the health-assessment questionnaire, HAQ), disease activity (28-joint disease activity score, DAS28) and HRQoL (EQ-5D) in RA. Methods: In the observational SSATG register, one-year quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) accumulation of two interventions was compared according to the UK, US, or Danish EQ-5D preference sets.

25. Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of early childhood obesity prevention
Sammanfattning : Background: Due to individual health-related and social consequences, but also due to its immense cost burden, obesity remains a large public health challenge for which effective and cost-effective prevention is lacking. It has been suggested that primary preventive efforts operate optimally if started in early childhood, but scientific evidence is scarce. LÄS MER
