Estimating the economic consequences of leveraging the novel cobas® HIV-1/HIV-2 Qualitative NAT Test in routine HIV testing.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the costs of the current CDC 3-step HIV testing algorithm with a new single-test alternative (cobas) for efficiency in diagnosing HIV.
- A decision-tree model estimated costs and testing needs for 1 million people, revealing significant reductions in total tests and retests required when using the alternative method.
- Findings indicate that the new algorithm could simplify HIV testing processes, cut overall testing numbers, and keep healthcare costs stable, thereby improving patient outcomes.

The impact of anticoagulant-related bleeding on quality of life: Development of a novel measure based on perspectives from older adults.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Pharmacotherapy, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States of America.
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation (AF) disproportionately affect older adults, who are at increased risk of bleeding from treatment with anticoagulant therapy. The impact of bleeding on older adults' quality of life (QoL) is poorly understood due to the lack of a validated measure of their experience. This study's purpose is to describe the first evidence-based steps in developing a new condition-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for the effect of anticoagulant-related bleeding on older adults' QoL.
