Economic Aspects in the Treatment of Schizophrenia in Italy: Cost Consequences of an Early Long-acting Injectable Anti-Psychotics (lais) Approach
2017
PurposeThe aim of this analysis was to evaluate the economic consequences of a new treatment approach in the treatment of schizophrenia in the Italian setting. In terms of direct costs, in Italy was estimated that the main driver were represented by hospitalization and residential cost (71% of total direct cost per patient), followed by semi-residential services (13%), anti-psychotic and other drugs (8%) and ambulatory services (8).MethodsA probabilistic cost consequence model was developed to estimate the potential cost reductions derived from an early treatment with atypical long-acting injectable anti-psychotics (aLAIs) drugs. A systematic literature review was carried out to identify di…
Head Injury Criterion: mini review
2019
Head Injury Criterion (HIC) is the most important parameter in terms of human survival; it is indicative of brain injuries due to the impact of the head in numerous cases, with a vehicle. This index can be estimated by integrating the resulting acceleration of the head (measured in its gravity center) in a time window
The Cost of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) in Europe and USA: The GAIN Study
2019
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver disorders. The progressive form of NAFLD, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), leads to cirrhosis in a proportion of patients and so is associated with a substantial socio-economic burden which, coupled with a steadily rising prevalence, is becoming a growing public health challenge. The Global Assessment of the Impact of NASH (GAIN) study is a socioeconomic, prevalence-based burden of illness study across Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the United States to determine the socio-economic burden of NASH in the real-world. Methods: GAIN was a retrospective, cross-sec…
Gesundheitsökonomische Bewertung einer antibiotischen Prophylaxe gegenüber postoperativen Endophthalmitiden
2002
BACKGROUND: Two independent epidemiological studies recently suggested the prophylactic relevance of an intraocular antibiosis against endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. The resulting intervention programme, however, has not only ethical drawbacks, but also has a health economical dimension, which will be focussed in this paper. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cost analysis is performed to compare the direct costs saved by prevention of endophthalmitis cases and the costs generated by the prophylaxis itself. Furthermore, the clinics' indirect costs due to treatment of unprevented endophthalmitis cases are estimated. RESULTS: The overall gain in direct costs turns out to be about 368 000 Euro p…
Cost-effectiveness analysis of statins in primary care: results from the Arteris cohort study.
2021
BACKGROUND The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health performed a health technology assessment regarding statins in primary care. The chosen models may lead to a situation where a clinically indicated statin therapy is estimated not to be cost effective. METHODS We performed a cohort study regarding cardiovascular events, comparing SCORE and AGLA risk categories with tertiles of carotid plaque burden and used two models for cost-effectiveness analysis of high-potency statins. RESULTS Subjects (n = 2842) were followed up for 5.9 ± 2.9 years with the occurrence of 154 cardiovascular events (extrapolated 10-year risk was 9.2%). Carotid plaque imaging (total plaque area, TPA) significantly impro…
The association between quality of care and technical efficiency in long-term care
2005
To analyse the association between quality of care and technical (productive) efficiency in institutional long-term care wards for the elderly.One hundred and fourteen public health centre hospitals and residential homes in Finland.Wards were divided into two categories according to their rank in the quality distribution, considering 41 quality variables separately. The technical efficiency scores of the good- and poor-quality groups were compared using cross-sectional data.Data envelopment analysis was used for calculating technical efficiency. The Mann-Whitney test and correlation coefficients were used to explore the association between quality and efficiency.The wards where quality indi…
Effects of Home-Based Physical Exercise on Days at Home and Cost-Effectiveness in Pre-Frail and Frail Persons: Randomized Controlled Trial.
2021
Objectives: Frailty increases the risks of hospitalization, institutionalization, and death. Our objective was to study the effects of home-based physical exercise on the number of days spent at home among pre frail and frail persons, versus usual care. In addition, utilization and costs of health care and social services, cost-effectiveness, and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) were explored. Design: Randomized controlled trial, with year-long supervised exercise for 60 minutes twice a week versus usual care. Follow-up for 24 months after randomization. Setting and Participants: A sample of 299 home-dwelling persons in South Karelia, Finland. Main inclusion criteria: >65 years, meeti…

La riforma del mercato del lavoro al vaglio della Corte Costituzionale
2005
il saggio analizza l'impatto della riforma del mercato del lavoro (d.lgs. n. 276/2003) sull'assetto costituzionale in materia di riparto di competenze tra stato e regioni. L'autore si propone di offrire una lettura critica della giurisprudenza costituzionale in materia, individuando gli spazi riservati alla competenza del legislatore regionale e quelli riservati al legislatore statale alla luce della riforma del titolo V della Costituzione
La messa alla prova dopo il dictum della Consulta: indenne ma rivisitata e in attesa di nuove censure
2019
Con la sentenza n. 91 del 2018, la Consulta ha avuto modo di offrire una rivisitazione "ad ampio spettro" dell'istituto della sospensione del procedimento con messa alla prova, affrontandone diversi aspetti fondamentali. La pronuncia - pur esprimendosi in termini di inammissibilità o di infondatezza delle questioni sollevate - può essere considerata un importante spartiacque nell'elaborazione ermeneutica della fattispecie, risolvendo alcuni problemi interpretativi e, al contempo, ponendone in luce di nuovi.
