Article Synopsis
- The study explores how socioeconomic factors influence the occurrence and healthcare costs associated with stroke, revealing that individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds face higher morbidity and mortality rates.* -
- Researchers examined hospital data from a region in France to identify typical Hospital Care Pathways (HCPs) for patients post-stroke and used statistical models to analyze the impact of socioeconomic status on these HCPs and associated costs.* -
- Findings highlighted four distinct HCPs based on patient needs, showing that greater social disadvantage is linked to more complex healthcare pathways and higher costs, underscoring the impact of social inequalities in health care.*
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.

Methods: We used data from an open-label multicenter, randomized non-inferiority trial that recruited women for whom labor was induced for medical reasons. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was assessed from the payer's perspective, with the focus on inpatient care costs and using the cesarean deliveries avoided (CDA) rate as the primary analysis and the rate of vaginal delivery within 24 h (VD24) as the secondary analysis.
Background: To date, no curative treatment is available for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, efforts should focus on prevention strategies to improve the efficiency of healthcare systems.
Objective: Our aim was to assess the cost-effectiveness of three preventive strategies for AD compared to a placebo.
