One-dimensional theories of wave propagation in solids have a common mathematical structure; the solution of impact problems admits a new general representation, the summed progressing wave.doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(76)92552-6Hart, JulianTudorSaxton, ReginaldElsevier Ltd.Lancet...
The cost estimates of hospital services were the product the relative cost weight of each service and $6371, the 2011 Alberta cost per weighted case (CIHI, 2012a). The relative cost weights were based on separate case-based grouping. Outpatient weights were scaled so that the cost per ...
In this study, the number of GP visits, specialist referrals, medication use and productivity loss was asked at different time points and were then converted to costs per case using standardized cost per item. Costs per hospital admission were based on the length of stay of admissions having ...
Cancer is a leading cause of death. This paper examines the utilisation of unscheduled emergency end-of-life healthcare and estimates expenditure in this domain. We explore care patterns and quantify the likely benefits from service reconfigurations which may influence rates of hospital admission and...
Resource use was based on CKD progression as well as the NHG and NIV guidelines, incorporating visits to the GP, outpatient visits, eGFR and albuminuria assessments, treatment with an ACE inhibitor, an influenza vaccine, and risk for a hospital admission unrelated to CV outcomes [5] (Additional...
Introduction Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has a prevalence of around 400 in 100,000 in the UK, with the prevalence of UC specifically of around 243 per 100,000. This gives a figure of 146,000 people in the UK living with UC. Around 30% of IBD patients are under regular hospital fo...
An additional AU $6,826 for each hospital admission was estimated, on average, in Victoria, Australia for in-patients with an adverse event, after adjusting for age and comorbidity [6]. Although many studies have investigated the costs of wound and other hospital-acquired infections, these ...
of this side effect of the unaffordability of medical care is the so-called boomerang effect (Turabian,2019). Namely, the patient comes back later with a far more severe, neglected disease stage when he or she is in acute need of expensive hospital admission and intensive care unit care (...
Our findings show that universal screening introduced to the English NHS in 2010 is unlikely to be cost effective at current MRSA admission prevalence. This policy was more costly and less effective than alternative options in every hospital type and at every prevalence except one, in which it co...
They reported the cost of inpatient rehabilitation to be over £500 m per year, with the independent sector providing around half the 4,400 beds in the country. They noted that use of the independent sector varied greatly by Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and admissions to independent ...
