Article Synopsis
- * It emphasizes the necessity of incorporating economic evaluations to aid decision-making around screening and treatment in pediatric health care.
- * The manuscript outlines key concepts and types of economic evaluations, such as cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis, and highlights a practical approach to understanding health economic evaluations in the context of newborn screening programs.
Background: Noninvasive telemonitoring and nurse telephone coaching (NTM-NTC) is a promising postdischarge strategy in heart failure (HF). Comorbid conditions and disease burden influence health outcomes in HF, but how comorbidity burden modulates the effectiveness of NTM-NTC is unknown. This study aims to identify patients with HF who may benefit from postdischarge NTM-NTC based on their burden of comorbidity.

Objective: To assess whether telemonitoring adherence is associated with a patient's risk of hospitalization, emergency department visit, or death.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This post hoc secondary analysis of the Better Effectiveness After Transition-Heart Failure randomized clinical trial included patients from 6 academic medical centers in California who were eligible if they were hospitalized for decompensated heart failure and excluded if they were discharged to a skilled nursing facility, were expected to improve because of a medical procedure, or did not have the cognitive or physical ability to participate.
Background: Weight telemonitoring may be an effective way to improve patients' ability to manage heart failure and prevent unnecessary utilization of health services. However, the effectiveness of such interventions is dependent upon patient adherence.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine how adherence to weight telemonitoring changes in response to 2 types of events: hospital readmissions and emergency department visits.
Background: Although uniform colonoscopy screening reduces colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality, risk-based screening may be more efficient. We investigated whether CRC screening based on polygenic risk is a cost-effective alternative to current uniform screening, and if not, under what conditions it would be.
Methods: The MISCAN-Colon model was used to simulate a hypothetical cohort of US 40-year-olds.
