Der Beitrag liefert einen systematischen Überblick zur außerklinischen Intensivpflege (AKI) in Deutschland im Zeitraum von 2018 bis 2022. Auf Basis von AOK-Daten von 18.363 AOK-Versicherten mit AKI werden erstmals umfassende deskriptive Ergebnisse zu den demografischen und...

The mounting prevalence of chronic diseases poses a substantial public health and economic burden, particularly in aging societies such as the United States. Focusing on both direct healthcare expenditure and indirect costs such as productivity loss, this study examines the economic burden of...

In East Asia and Pacific (EAP), people are living longer but not necessarily healthier lives. As populations age and urbanize, an epidemic of chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease is taking hold, affecting workers in their prime, eroding productivity, and...

The rapid development of AI solutions reveals opportunities to address the underdiagnosis and poor management of chronic conditions in developing settings. Using the method of simulated patients and experimental designs, we evaluate the quality, safety, and disparity of medical consultation with...

This study investigates lifetime socioeconomic health disparities through longitudinal biomarkers from the Dutch Lifelines cohort study and biobank. We construct an allostatic load index from 12 biomarkers and analyze the dynamics of health and its association with socioeconomic status (SES)...

The advent of artificial intelligence paradigms has contributed a great deal towards improving predictive accuracy in medicine especially in the prompt diagnosis of chronic diseases. Feature selection is crucial in refining classification models by identifying and eliminating non-informative or...

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) present a significant economic challenge for healthcare systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Georgia. Beyond the health sector, the escalating burden of NCDs has substantial macroeconomic implications, including long-term fiscal...

Background Chronic kidney disease or chronic renal failure is a progressive condition defined as abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for longer than 3 months. It is estimated to affect more than 10% of the gen‑ eral population worldwide. Management of CKD represents an...

The optimal design of incentive contracts critically depends on whether the tasks performed by agents are complementary or substitutable, yet empirical evidence on this remains limited. This paper develops a novel empirical strategy to identify complementarities and substitutabilities in tasks,...

Objective Studies that examine the broad allocation of resources, regardless of who bears the costs, should ide‑ ally estimate costs from a societal perspective. We have successfully integrated survival rates, employment ratios, and earnings to address the significant challenge of evaluating...

Introduction This study comprehensively investigates the changes in healthcare utilization among chronic patients with regular outpatient visits to hospitals after the occurrence of Covid-19. The research examines whether patients altered their originally regular medical attendance frequencies...

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasingly placing significant health and economic burdens on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Primary care serves as the initial point of contact for individuals seeking medical assistance and plays a pivotal role in promoting health, preventing...

Cognitive misperception contributed to poor decision-making; yet their impact on health-related decisions is less known. We examined how self-perceived memory was associated with chronic disease awareness among older Chinese adults. Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement...

This paper proposes a method to evaluate health losses or gains by looking at the impact on well-being of a change in health status. The paper presents estimates of the equivalent income change that would be necessary to change general satisfaction with life to the same extent as a change in...

Patient Activation Measure (PAM) measures the activation level of patients with chronic conditions and correlates well with patient adherence behavior, health outcomes, and healthcare costs. PAM is increasingly used in practice to identify patients needing more support from the care team. We...

In this paper, we develop a life cycle model in which health and longevity are threatened by infectious and chronic diseases. The model captures that the susceptibility and severity of infectious diseases depend on the accumulated health deficits (immunosenescence) and that the life history of...

We study how preventive medical care use affects health behaviors and outcomes for patients with chronic diseases. Leveraging variation induced by a national appointment reminder program, rolled out across 315 public primary care clinics in Chile, we use an instrumental variables approach with...

To what extent is a worker's relative rank within their workplace a determinant of health status, conditional on income? We provide the first US-based evidence on the relationship between relative workplace rank and health status for the near population of workers in one US state. Using a new...
