Background: Crohn's disease (CD) treatments and associated adverse events (AEs) can be burdensome for patients. However, specific values which quantify the impact on health-related quality of life (HRQL) for economic evaluation are lacking.
Objectives: This study aimed to elicit health utility values for AEs related to biologic treatment and surgical complications for CD in the UK.
Objectives: To investigate the association between outcomes and different escalating combinations of non-insulin medications vs. insulin.
Methods: Data were taken from the 2013 5EU NHWS, a cross-sectional survey including 62,000 respondents across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the economic burden and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of stroke survivors in the Canary Islands over three years post-stroke, revealing significant healthcare costs.
- The average yearly costs per stroke survivor decreased from €17,618 in the first year to €12,924 by the third year, primarily due to expenses related to informal care and hospitalizations.
- HRQOL, measured using the EQ-5D questionnaire, indicated a slight decline over the years, with scores of 0.50 in the first year and 0.46 in the third year, suggesting ongoing challenges faced by stroke survivors.
Objectives: The BURQOL-RD project is intended to develop a disease based model capable of quantifying the socio-economic burden and health-related quality of life for patients with rare diseases (RDs) and their caregivers in Europe. We described the methodology used to select a set of 10 RDs to be approached in a pilot study.
Methods: BURQOL-RD project includes 23 partners from 8 European countries: Spain, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria.
Background: The aim of the study was to describe the health-related quality of life of Canarian population using information from the Canary Island Health Survey and three observational studies developed in the Canary Islands.
Methods: A descriptive analysis was carried out on a sample of 5.549 Canarian citizens using information from 2004 Canary Island Health Survey and three observational studies on Alzheimer's disease, Stroke and HIV.
