Is INTERdisciplinary COMmunity-based COPD management (INTERCOM) cost-effective?
The study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of interdisciplinary community-based chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management in patients with COPD. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis alongside a 2-yr randomised controlled trial, in which 199 patients with less advanced airflow obstruction and impaired exercise capacity were assigned to the INTERCOM programme or usual ...
متن کاملLevalbuterol is not more cost-effective than albuterol for COPD.
In a recent issue of CHEST, Truitt et al (January 2003)1 claimed that their retrospective chart review demonstrated that “levalbuterol afforded clinical and pharmacoeconomic advantages over racemic albuterol” in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COPD and asthma. The primary end point of the study was the total number of nebulizer treatments required. However, the target care path that...

The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of COPD case-finding service provided by c...
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 ...
