BACKGROUND: Despite a scarcity of tuberculosis (TB) cost data, a substantial body of evidence has been accumulating for drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB) treatment. In this study, we review unit costs for DS-TB treatment from a provider's perspective. We also examine factors driving cost ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major threat to public health, particularly in countries where the disease is highly prevalent, such as Ethiopia. Early diagnosis and treatment are the main components of TB prevention and control. Although the national TB guideline recommends the primary use of rapid TB ...
SETTING: An urban tuberculosis (TB) control program. OBJECTIVE: The use of medical services was analyzed from diagnosis through completion of treatment for TB patients in a public health system in order to estimate charges and service utilization. DESIGN: The in- and out-patient medical records,...
Objective To study the cost effectiveness, cost utility and cost benefit of three programs for TB control, viz. the World Bank TB project, the Ministry of Public Health TB project and measures taken by non project areas. Method A survey was conducted in TB prevention and treatment institutions...
are required to undergo overseas screening for tuberculosis (TB), but the value of evaluation and treatment following entry to the U.S. is not well understood. We determined the cost-effectiveness of domestic follow-up of immigrants identified as tuberculosis suspects through overseas screening./p ...
Mortality is reported to fall between 15-30% following OSR which is also associated with high rates of spinal ischemic complications in up to 30% of patients.12,18 TEVAR, as an alternative minimally invasive treatment to OSR for TbADs, has been associated with more promising results in selecte...
Using the QFT-G assay, but especially combining the QFT-G assay following the TST screening of close-contacts at a cutoff induration size of 5 mm before LTBI treatment is highly cost-effective in reducing the disease burden of TB. 展开 ...
The programme also prevented three TB-related deaths in the younger and two in the older cohort. The results are highly sensitive to treatment-cost assumptions. In conclusion, isoniazid chemoprevention in Germany is a highly cost-effective approach for reducing the burden of tuberculosis in recently...
However, the (cost-)effectiveness of ABFT has not been studied in emerging adults. In the proposed pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT), we aim to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ABFT compared to treatment as usual (TAU) on suicidality, as delivered in daily practice...
TB Dodson,RC Pfeffle 摘要: Conclusion. Cost estimates for treating mandibular fractures may vary widely depending on practice patterns and complication rates. Despite these cost variations, one may determine the most cost-effective treatment alternative by estimating treatment costs of both uncomplicated...
