Is Age-targeted full-field digital mammography screening cost-effective in emerging countries? A micro simulation model
OBJECTIVE The present paper estimates the cost-effectiveness of population-based breast cancer (BC) screening strategies in Brazil for women under 50 years from the perspective of the Brazilian public health system. METHODS A Markov model, simulating the natural history of female BC sufferers in Brazil, was developed. This model compares the lifetime effects, costs, and cost-effectiveness of ...
متن کاملFull Field Digital Mammography with Breast Cushions in Screening Subjects
To explore the impact of radiolucent breast cushions on breast pain and image quality of full field digital mammography (FFDM) in screening subjects. The American College of Radiology (ACR) phantom and fifty-four women were enrolled in this study. Use of cushions reduced pain (p < 0.001). The imaging quality with cushions was inferior to those without cushions in phantom studies (p ≦ 0.01), on ...
متن کاملPatient doses from screen-film and full-field digital mammography in a population-based screening programme.
The aim of this study was to compare mean glandular dose (MGD) in all full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and screen film mammography (SFM) systems used in a national mammography screening program. MGD from 31 screening units (7 FFDM and 24 SFM), based on an average of 50 women at each screening unit, representing 12 X-ray models (6 FFDM and 6 SFM) from five different manufacturers were calcu...
متن کاملIs mammography for breast cancer screening cost-effective in both Western and asian countries?: results of a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Mammography is considered the gold standard of breast cancer mass screening and many countries have implemented this as an established breast cancer screening strategy. However, although the incidence of breast cancer and racial characteristics are different between Western and Asian countries, many Asian countries adopted mammography for mass screening. Therefore, the objective of t...
متن کاملCost Effective Community Based Dementia Screening: A Markov Model Simulation
Background. Given the dementia epidemic and the increasing cost of healthcare, there is a need to assess the economic benefit of community based dementia screening programs. Materials and Methods. Markov model simulations were generated using data obtained from a community based dementia screening program over a one-year period. The models simulated yearly costs of caring for patients based on ...
