How Does Access To Healthcare Affect Life Expectancy?, Yara Mahmoud
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
Access to health care is a pressing issue in the United States, whether it be the cost of care or not having enough of it. To emphasize the importance of this topic, this paper assesses the impact of access to health services on life expectancy. A comparison is made between the universal health systems in France and Spain and the mixed system in the United States. Even though the United States spends the most on health care in the world, its statistics fall below those of other developed countries. After addressing other risk factors, it was found that individuals under …
Is Sabr Cost-Effective In Oligometastatic Cancer? An Economic Analysis Of Sabr-Comet Randomized Trial, Yujie Chen
Is Sabr Cost-Effective In Oligometastatic Cancer? An Economic Analysis Of Sabr-Comet Randomized Trial, Yujie Chen
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The phase II randomized study SABR-COMET demonstrated that in cancer patients with 1-5 oligometastatic lesions, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) was associated with an improvement in both progression-free survival and overall survival compared to standard of care (SoC). SABR, however, is associated with higher costs and treatment-related toxicity. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of SABR versus SoC in patients with oligometastatic disease.
A time-dependent Markov model with five health states was constructed from the Canadian health care system perspective. Utility values and transition probabilities were derived from the SABR-COMET trial. Costs were obtained from the published …
