Cost-Effectiveness Of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (Slt) Versus Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (Alt) In Uncontrolled Open Angle Glaucoma Patients Having At Least One Full Previous Slt: An Economic Evaluation Alongside An Ongoing Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial, Muhammad Rakibuz-Zaman
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Background and objective: ALT and SLT are both safe and effective for glaucoma treatment. We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of SLT versus ALT for a six-month follow-up period in uncontrolled open angle glaucoma patients having at least one full previous SLT from an ongoing RCT. Methods: Trial based treatment costing and IOP reduction at 6-month follow-up from baseline for both intervention arms were calculated. A decision tree model was developed considering possible clinical pathways of patients undergoing repeat laser trabeculoplasty. CEA among ALT and SLT was done, and ICERs were calculated from both societal and ministry perspective. One way …

Disability And Return To Work Following Musculoskeletal Injury, Qiyun Shi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries, damage or disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system including muscles, ligaments, nerves, tendons, bones or cartilage etc. MSDs are highly prevalent and associated with sickness absence, reduced work efficiency, job changes and earlier retirement.. They also affect daily activity and social functioning. Although many MSDs are accompanied by minor symptoms and settled spontaneously, approximately 10% of the workforce with MSDs have difficulty resuming their original work or exit the workforce permanently. Return to work after MSDs is complex, and is influenced by many factors including physical, psychological, economic and social factors.
Although there are extensive studies …

A Link Between Paediatric Asthma And Obesity: Are They Caused By The Same Environmental Conditions?, Phylicia Gonsalves
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The highly associated paediatric conditions of asthma and overweight have seen dramatic increases over the past few decades. This thesis explored air pollution exposure as a potential underlying mechanism of co-morbid asthma and overweight among adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey were merged with a database containing estimates of air pollution as assessed by particulate matter ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5) concentrations at the postal code centroid in southwestern Ontario. Logistic regression was used to conduct the analysis. Adolescents were more likely to be overweight as PM2.5 concentrations increased. There was …
