Which factors preceding dementia identification impact future healthcare use trajectories: multilevel analyses in administrative data.

Background: Healthcare use patterns preceding a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Diseases (ADRD) may be associated with the quality of healthcare use trajectories (HUTs) after diagnosis. We aimed to identify determinants of future favorable HUTs, notably healthcare use preceding ADRD identification.

Methods: This nationwide retrospective observational study was conducted on subjects with incident ADRD identified in 2012 in the French health insurance database.

Mechanical Thrombectomy with Intravenous Thrombolysis versus Thrombolysis Alone for the Treatment of Stroke: A Systematic Review of Economic Evaluations.

Mechanical thrombectomy has revolutionized the management of stroke by improving the recanalization rates and reducing deleterious consequences. It is now the standard of care despite the high financial cost. A considerable number of studies have evaluated its cost effectiveness.

Healthcare use patterns before Alzheimer's disease and related diseases identification and future healthcare trajectory.

Objectives: A frequent late Alzheimer's Disease and Related Diseases (ADRD) identification is described and may induce erratic health resource use. We aimed to describe healthcare use patterns preceding ADRD identification.

Methods: We studied persons aged 65 or older, identified with incident ADRD in 2012 in the French health insurance database.

Cost Analysis of Radiofrequency Ablation for Adrenal Adenoma in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism and Hypertension: Results from the ADERADHTA Pilot Study and Comparison with Surgical Adrenalectomy.

Purpose: Primary Aldosteronism (PA) is increasingly considered as a common disease affecting up to 10% of the hypertensive population. Standard of care comprises laparoscopic total adrenalectomy but innovative treatment such as RadioFrequency Ablation (RFA) constitutes an emerging promising alternative to surgery. The main aim of this study is to analyse the cost of RFA versus surgery on aldosterone-producing adenoma patient from the French National Health Insurance (FNHI) perspective.

Factors Associated with Potentially Inappropriate Transfer to the Emergency Department among Nursing Home Residents.

Objectives: To determine the factors associated with the potentially inappropriate transfer of nursing home (NH) residents to emergency departments (EDs) and to compare hospitalization costs before and after transfer of individuals addressed inappropriately vs those addressed appropriately.

Design: Multicenter, observational, case-control study.

Setting And Participants: 17 hospitals in France, 1037 NH residents.
