Background: In Thailand, there has been no economic evaluation study of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer patients after resection. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the cost-utility of all chemotherapy regimens currently used in Thailand compared with the adjuvant 5-fluorouracil

The objective of this study is to estimate the cost-utility analysis of the cholinesterase inhibitors (i.e., donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine) compared with no drug treatment in patients with mild to moderate alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Thailand based on the societal and governmental perspectives and to estimate the budget impact of the ch

A model-based economic evaluation was performed to estimate costs as well as outcomes of vaccination with PCV10 and PCV13 compared to ‘no vaccination’. This study considered two commonly recommended regimens: two-dose primary series at 2 and 4 months of age plus a booster dose at age 13 months (2+1) and three-dose primary series at 2, 4 and 6 m

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by elevated cholesterol levels, significantly increasing the risk of heart disease. Early detection through genetic screening can play a crucial role in preventing serious health outcomes. This study marks the first global eco

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients often become refractory to proton pump inhibitors (PPI)—a standard treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)—and intolerant to PPI in combination with domperidone. PPI with alginic acid is an alternative treatment option, but alginic acid is costly. We

ABSTRACT Objective Despite treatment availability, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) public health burden is rising in India due to lack of timely diagnosis. Therefore, we aim to assess incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for one-time universal screening followed by treatment of

Abstract Background Typhoid vaccination has been shown to be an effective intervention to prevent enteric fever and is under consideration for inclusion in the national immunization program in Lao PDR. Methods A cost-utility analysis was performed using an age-structured static decision tree
