Effectiveness of Organizational Interventions to Reduce Emergency Department Utilization: A Systematic Review

2012

BackgroundEmergency department (ED) utilization has dramatically increased in developed countries over the last twenty years. Because it has been associated with adverse outcomes, increased costs, and an overload on the hospital organization, several policies have tried to curb this growing trend. The aim of this study is to systematically review the effectiveness of organizational interventions designed to reduce ED utilization.Methodology/principal findingsWe conducted electronic searches using free text and Medical Subject Headings on PubMed and The Cochrane Library to identify studies of ED visits, re-visits and mortality. We performed complementary searches of grey literature, manual s…

Cost-effectiveness of bedaquiline in MDR and XDR tuberculosis in Italy

2016

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of bedaquiline plus background drug regimens (BR) for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) in Italy. Methods: A Markov model was adapted to the Italian setting to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of bedaquiline plus BR (BBR) versus BR in the treatment of MDR-TB and XDR-TB over 10 years, from both the National Health Service (NHS) and societal perspective. Cost-effectiveness was evaluated in terms of life-years gained (LYG). Clinical data were sourced from trials; resource consumption for compared treatments was modelled according to advice from an expert c…

Influence of Lymphangio (L), Vascular (V), and Perineural (Pn) Invasion on Recurrence and Survival of Resected Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

2021

(1) Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare malignancy. Besides tumor, nodal, and metastatic status, the UICC TNM classification describes further parameters such as lymphangio- (L0/L1), vascular (V0/V1/V2), and perineural invasion (Pn0/Pn1). The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of these parameters on recurrence and survival. (2) Methods: All surgical explorations for patients with ICC between January 2008 and June 2018 were collected and further analyzed in our institutional database. Statistical analyses focused on perineural, lymphangio-, and vascular invasion examined histologically and their influence on tumor recurrence and survival. (3) Results: Of 2…

Human values and retirement experiences: A longitudinal analysis of Norwegian data.

2021

Motivational factors, such as one’s value system, may affect how people cope with the opportunities and challenges of retirement. This article explores the moderating roles of Schwartz’s four basic values (self-enhancement, self-transcendence, openness to change, and conservation) on the magnitude and duration of retirement effects on life satisfaction between two waves (2007 and 2017) of the Norwegian Life course, Ageing and Generation (NorLAG) study. Fixed-effect regression analyses are run separately for men and women to account for gender differences in the attachments and identities tied to work and non-work domains. Retirement is not a uniform experience, and findings show that retire…

Using Two-Step Cluster Analysis and Latent Class Cluster Analysis to Classify the Cognitive Heterogeneity of Cross-Diagnostic Psychiatric Inpatients

2020

The heterogeneity of cognitive profiles among psychiatric patients has been reported to carry significant clinical information. However, how to best characterize such cognitive heterogeneity is still a matter of debate. Despite being well suited for clinical data, cluster analysis techniques, like the Two-Step and the Latent Class, received little to no attention in the literature. The present study aimed to test the validity of the cluster solutions obtained with Two-Step and Latent Class cluster analysis on the cognitive profile of a cross-diagnostic sample of 387 psychiatric inpatients. Two-Step and Latent Class cluster analysis produced similar and reliable solutions. The overall result…

Green value and spatial approaches of energy demand management.

2020

Les contraintes économiques et environnementales actuelles impliquent un besoin de maîtrise de la demande d’énergie du secteur résidentiel. Pour parvenir à cette fin, il est nécessaire d’identifier les déterminants de la consommation d’énergie des ménages puis de trouver des solutions pour réduire la demande d’énergie. Les travaux présentés dans la thèse portent sur le rôle des choix de localisation des ménages dans la formation de la demande d’énergie du secteur résidentiel et s’intéresse à la valeur verte comme outil de promotion des biens immobiliers énergétiquement efficaces. Le premier chapitre étudie les choix de localisation résidentielle et de consommation énergétique des ménages da…

Enseignements d'une meta-analyse sur le lien participation budgétaire - performance managériale

2009

This meta-analysis is a critical comparison of three of quantitative synthesis. It applies some propositions of the Potsdam international consultation on meta-analysis, in the field of management control. Study design. After a traditional narrative review, three meta-analysis methodologies for the synthesis of articles with heterogeneous methodologies and fields are presented. After a short critical presentation of our results with “box score” and p-values combination methods, we show the result of best-evidence synthesis and its stability as recommended at the Potsdam international consultation on meta-analysis. Results. The results of methods of meta-analysis implemented do not make it po…

Sur la piste des matériaux organiques grâce à la spectrométrie de masse

2018

Identifying the organic materials present, establishing their origin and degree of preservation, understanding their manufacturing process and their use, all of which require interdisciplinary studies involving closely specialists in materials and human sciences. In this very specific context, mass spectrometry has become a key tool to improve knowledge of past civilizations but also to better preserve and restore the discrete remains of archaeomaterials. The identification of diagnostic molecular markers of natural substances is now a recognized strategy for characterizing amorphous organic materials (fats, beeswaxes, vegetable substances such as resins and tars). New advances have also ma…
