Aims: Reporting of hospitalization cost data for the National Health Service in England evolved substantially in the past decades which may have led to inconsistency in capturing the average cost of hospitalizations in appraisals of new health technologies. Our aim was to systematically review the estimation of hospitalization costs in appraisals for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), to identify potential heterogeneity and its drivers. A case study was used to explore the impact of alternative cost estimates on economic evaluations.

The introduction of hybrid diagnosis-related groups (DRG) presents new challenges for healthcare providers and health insurances. The same applied in 2023 to the institute designated by the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) to extract medical procedures and calculate remuneration levels for the first hybrid DRGs. A responsible calculation methodology and a realistic data basis are required as the result of the calculation can lead to controversy, even to a splitting among specialist groups and constructs.

Rationale: The precision of the doubly labeled water (DLW) method is determined by the precision and accuracy of the isotopic measurements. Quality control (QC) procedures to mitigate sample variability require additional measurements if sample duplicates differ more than a factor of instrument precision. We explored the effect of widening QC ranges on total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) determined using the two-point sampling method.

Objective: Surveillance is critical for the rapid implementation of control measures for diseases caused by aerially dispersed plant pathogens, but such programs can be resource-intensive, especially for epidemics caused by long-distance dispersed pathogens. The current cucurbit downy mildew platform for monitoring, predicting and communicating the risk of disease spread in the United States is expensive to maintain. In this study, we focused on identifying sites critical for surveillance and treatment in an attempt to reduce disease monitoring costs and determine where control may be applied to mitigate the risk of disease spread.

Exposure to airborne disinfection by-products, especially trichloramine (TCA), could cause various occupational health effects in indoor swimming pools. However, TCA concentration measurements involve specialized analysis conducted in specific laboratories, which can result in significant costs and time constraints. As an alternative, modeling techniques for estimating exposures are promising in addressing these challenges.
