Add to Calendar! Background EQ-5D-5L value sets play a vital role worldwide in health technology assessment and measuring population health. However, it is difficult to compare the impact of using different value sets, for example if an older value set is replaced by a new one, or if two or more value sets are available. […]
Add to Calendar! Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) represent a major improvement in treatment of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular risk reduction, but they are also among the most expensive drugs in widespread use and the subject of significant policy debate. The high price of these drugs may overstate their net cost if the health improvements […]
Add to Calendar! Long before the pandemic, increasingly longer waiting times for hospital treatment in English NHS has been a challenge, directly affecting patient outcomes, service efficiency, and overall healthcare quality. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model that links patients' waiting times for planned treatment to hospital nurses' retention, and postulate the possibility […]
