Summary: This study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of add-on cenobamate in the UK for treating drug-resistant focal seizures in adults. The results showed that cenobamate was cost-saving and led to improved quality-adjusted life-years compared to other antiseizure medications.

Summary: This study analyzed the cost-effectiveness of screening and surveillance strategies for gastric cancer in Brazil, France, Japan, Nigeria, and the United States. The most cost-effective strategies were identified as screening every 10 years, surveillance every 5 and 10 years for high- and low-risk patients, and screening every 5 years. Starting age of screening, cost of endoscopy, and baseline probability of local gastric cancer were found to be important variables affecting the overall model.

Summary: This study found that Janus kinase inhibitors (JAK-i) are cost-effective as a second-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after csDMARD failure, but not cost-effective after csDMARD-TNF-a-i failure.

Summary: This study explored the cost-effectiveness of supplemental home parenteral nutrition (sHPN) for incurable gastrointestinal cancer patients in China. The results showed that sHPN was cost-effective, with higher quality-adjusted life year (QALY) and better outcomes in various effect parameters compared to non-sHPN group, except for the handgrip parameter at the second visit. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the cost-effectiveness of sHPN within a specific willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold.

Summary: Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten is consumed. It is associated with lower health-related quality of life and increased symptoms of depression and anxiety. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet, the only effective treatment for celiac disease, ranges from 42 to 80%. This review examines interventions aimed at improving gluten-free dietary adherence and quality of life for individuals with celiac disease.

Summary: The GRACE model introduces diminishing returns to QoL, reshaping conventional CEA practice in terms of WTP, treatment effectiveness adjustment, and the substitution rate between life expectancy and QoL based on health state. Implementing GRACE requires new parameters to describe risk preferences, the marginal rate of substitution, and treatment outcomes distributions.

Summary: In their 2021 update, the USPSTF emphasized the need for further research on the benefits and harms of risk model-based lung cancer screening strategies. This comparative modeling analysis found that risk model-based screening strategies were more cost-effective than the USPSTF recommendation, with a 6-year risk threshold of 1.2% or greater being the most cost-effective.

Summary: The study found an average empirical value of $52,619.39 per QALY, with a 1% increase in income leading to a 0.6% increase in WTP value and a 1-year increase in age causing a 3.3% decrease in WTP value. Factors such as gender, education level, and employment status significantly influenced WTP.

Summary: This review discusses the cost-effectiveness of multiple sclerosis treatment, explores the use of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) in resource allocation decisions, and highlights the limitations of this approach in the context of multiple sclerosis. The article concludes by suggesting methodological and policy developments that could address these limitations.

Summary: This cost-effectiveness analysis found that screening for H. pylori may be cost-effective in Iran. Among the four screening strategies examined, UBT was the most cost-effective approach. Further studies should conduct cost-effectiveness analyses for specific age groups to optimize the benefits achieved with limited resources.

Summary: This method calculates a measure of wellbeing by using health-related quality of life and consumption data, as well as normative assumptions about specific parameters that can be adjusted based on the decision-making context. In addition to providing a general indicator for cost-effectiveness analysis, it also facilitates distributional analysis of expected lifespan for different population subgroups under different policy scenarios.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the cost-effective threshold (CET) of a quality-adjusted life year (QALY) in China as 1.5 times of GDP per capita, which should be benchmarked for future ICER-based coverage decisions.

Summary: This study explored the variations in PM2.5-bound PAH compositions, sources, and potential health risks between urban and suburban areas in Beijing. The results showed that the PAH concentration in Fangshan was higher than Haidian, especially during the heating season. Both areas had similar sources, with traffic emissions making a larger contribution in Haidian and coal and natural gas combustion contributing more in Fangshan. Vehicle emissions posed a greater potential health risk, as indicated by the QALY loss, making it an appropriate indicator for determining priority control sources.

Summary: This systematic review aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of surgical treatment compared to medical treatment for drug-refractory epilepsy patients. The findings suggest that surgical treatment is more cost-effective, especially when considering a long-term perspective.

Summary: Eating in catering systems has been identified as a driver of poor diet quality. Interventions within catering systems can improve the nutrient content of dishes without increasing costs, which encourages caterers to implement policies to improve the nutritional quality of food served and potentially improve public health.
