The solutions were diluted to 9 g/L LiCl/DMAc and filtered through a 0.2 mm syringe filter and analyzed with a Dionex Ultimate 3000 system with refractive index (RI) detection (Shodex RI-101). The Mn (number average molar mass) and Mw (weighted average molar mass) was calculated using ...
One of our selection criteria was that a study estimated the cost per unit of effect for each intervention under scrutiny. The most commonly used outcome variable was the number of infections prevented (27%), but measures such as the number of QALYs gained (12%) or the averted costs of (...

In the PSA, Hib vaccine in the NIP had a 64% probability of being cost-effective nationally compared to the national GDP per capita, and the probability increased to more than 80% when reducing the price of Hib vaccine by at least 10% (Fig. 4). Fig. 3 Tornado diagram of one-way ...
(95% UC US $339–1336) per QALY, respectively. Overall, the TST strategy was dominated by all other strategies, since it had the highest cost, US $925, and a gain of 8.35 QALYs (Table2). While Diaskintest strategy was the most cost saving, the result was sensitive to variations in...
The analysis of cost effectiveness in hospitals is as difficult as treating the patients properly. We are yet not able to answer the simple question of what costs are caused by a certain diagnosis and its treatment during an average hospital stay. To ans
In this study, a Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is integrated within a life cycle assessment (LCA) model to comprehensively evaluate the energy, environment, and ec
Some stakeholders shared the view that migration and the orientation of Filipino graduates to work overseas was the result of colonization, media hype, and the proliferation of a discourse of “migration as a sign of success” (Government informant 03132013). In addition, the national economic and...
