Cost-effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in the treatment of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review.
Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious and costly health issue, prompting a systematic review to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors for treatment.
- The review found that both Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin combined with standard care are cost-effective options for CKD patients, regardless of whether they have type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cost-saving for T2D patients in high-income countries.
- However, none of the studies fully met the quality criteria for economic evaluation, indicating a need for more rigorous research in this area.
Article Synopsis
- - Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children, and this study aimed to identify risk factors linked to childhood brain tumors in Vietnam, focusing on maternal and perinatal influences.
- - Conducted at Viet Duc University Hospital, the case-control study involved 220 children aged 0-14, comparing those with brain tumors to age and sex-matched controls with head trauma, using logistic regression to analyze data.
- - Results indicated that children born to mothers over 30 years old and those with a low pre-pregnancy body mass index were at higher risk for brain tumors, suggesting the need for further research to verify these findings with a larger sample size.
