Most countries have policies that require antimicrobial drugs to be obtained from a pharmacy by prescription.

In order to reduce the unpredictability of carbon prices caused by their increasingly prominent environmental and market attributes, and to minimize their negative impact on carbon trading, further research on forecasting models for carbon price is urgently needed. To improve the accuracy of prediction, this paper proposes a carbon price forecasting method based on SSA-NSTransformer. The method includes four main steps: Firstly, decomposition of carbon price signals, using Singular Spectrum Analysis to remove noise signals; Secondly, analysis of influencing factors, using Random Forest to identify and select key influencing factors of carbon price signal components from energy price, financial market, socio-economic, and environmental aspects; Furthermore, influencing factors prediction, considering the impact of different carbon reduction targets and predicting future trends of influencing factors; And finally, carbon price prediction, considering the impact of factors based on multi-stage carbon reduction targets, using Non-stationary Transformer to predict the signal components of carbon prices, reconstructing the carbon price time series, and testing the model accuracy.

Background: The 340B Drug Pricing Program has been controversial since its inception in 1992, a major criticism being that 340B hospitals use more outpatient drugs, and more expensive drugs, because of financial incentives to "make money" through the program. The goal of this study was to determine whether characteristics of patients treated at 340B hospitals, and affiliation of hospitals with NCI-designated cancer centers, would explain higher Part B drug costs and use of more expensive chemotherapy drugs.
Methods: This is an observational study using data from SEER-Medicare and 340B entity database.
