Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing prevalence of preterm birth in the United States is a complex public health problem that requires multifaceted solutions. Preterm birth is a cluster of problems with a set of overlapping factors of influence. Its causes may include individual-level behavioral and psychosocial factors, sociodemographic and neighborhood characteristics, environmental exposure, medical conditions, infertility treatments, and biological factors. Many of these factors co-occur, particularly in those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged or who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups. While advances in perinatal and neonatal care have improved survival for preterm infants, those infants who do survive have a greater risk than infants born at term for developmental disabilities, health problems, and poor growth. The birth of a preterm infant can also bring considerable emotional and economic costs to families and have implications for public-sector services, such as health insurance, educational, and other social support systems. Preterm Birth assesses the problem with respect to both its causes and outcomes. This book addresses the need for research involving clinical, basic, behavioral, and social science disciplines. By defining and addressing the health and economic consequences of premature birth, this book will be of particular interest to health care professionals, public health officials, policy makers, professional associations and clinical, basic, behavioral, and social science researchers.

This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) by the Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on maternal conditions, childhood illness, and malnutrition. Specifically, the chapters address acute illness and undernutrition in children, principally under age 5. It also covers maternal mortality, morbidity, stillbirth, and influences to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy. Volume 3 focuses on developments since the publication of DCP2 and will also include the transition to older childhood, in particular, the overlap and commonality with the child development volume. The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced three key findings: 1. There is significant difficulty in measuring the burden of key conditions such as unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, nonsexually transmitted infections, infertility, and violence against women. 2. Investments in the continuum of care can have significant returns for improved and equitable access, health, poverty, and health systems. 3. There is a large difference in how RMNCH conditions affect different income groups; investments in RMNCH can lessen the disparity in terms of both health and financial risk.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neonatal intensiv care units (NICUs) are a relatively recent innovation, ÆyetÅ their widespread application has already played a major and definitive role in the improved survival of low birthweight and premature infants. Despite this success, ethical and economic concerns remain about this technology. The double edged sword of technology, at ever-increasing costs both saves and disables babies. This case study reviews the evidence on the effectiveness of neonatal intensive care and addresses a number of economic considerations.

Download or read book A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Strategies to Reduce Infant Mortality written by Hope Corman and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compares the cost-effectiveness of various health inputs and government programs in reducing race-specific neonatal mortality or death in the first twenty-seven days of life. Approximately two-thirds of all infant deaths occur within this time period. The programs and inputs at issue are teenage family planning use, the supplemental food program for women, infants and children (WIC), use of community health centers and maternal and infant care projects, abortion, prenatal care, and neonatal intensive care. Using an economic model of the family as the analytical framework, effectiveness is determined by using ordinary least squares and two-stage least squares to estimate infant health production functions across large counties in the U.S. in 1977. We find the early initiation of prenatal care to be the most cost-effective means of reducing neonatal mortality rate for blacks and whites. Moreover, blacks benefit more per dollar of input use than whites. Neonatal intensive care, although the most effective means of reducing neonatal mortality rates, is one of the least cost-effective strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is becoming increasingly important to examine the relationship between the outcomes of a clinical trial and the costs of the medical therapy under study. The results of such analysis can affect reimbursement decisions for new medical technologies, drugs, devices or diagnostics. It can aid companies seeking to make claims about the cost-effectiveness of their product, as well as allowing early consideration of the economic value of therapies which may be important to improving initial adoption decisions. It is also vital for addressing the requirements of regulatory bodies. Economic Evaluation in Clinical Trials provides practical advice on how to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses in controlled trials of medical therapies. This new edition has been extensively rewritten and revised; topics discussed range from design issues such as the types of services that should be measured and price weights, to assessment of quality-adjusted life years. Illustrative materials, case histories and worked examples are included to encourage the reader to apply the methods discussed. These exercises are supported with datasets, programmes and solutions made available online.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of the physical space of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) has been proposed as a target for intervention to improve neonatal outcomes. Most NICUs are currently designed so that infants are cared for in a shared space which is commonly referred to as an open bay design. The purpose of this study was to identify the cost-effective NICU design from a Canadian public payer perspective using a lifetime time-horizon. The study used a decision model approach informed by individual participant data for estimating the baseline history of disease and the impact of morbidities on length of stay. Efficacy parameters were informed through analysis from an ongoing randomized controlled trial (RCT) of single-family room design and a systematic and targeted literature search. Meta-analysis of efficacy parameters was conducted using a multivariate network meta-analysis. A stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (SMAA) was conducted to provide an additional perspective limited to clinical outcomes of alternative room designs in addition to an ordinal ranking of their degree of family centeredness. The network meta-analysis included a total of 25 studies (2 RCTs, 23 observational studies) evaluating old open bay, new open bay, half-wall, private room, combined single-family room and open bay, and single-family room only designs. When using a life-time horizon all designs had a higher expected value of net monetary benefit than old open bay designs although there was substantial uncertainty in relative ranking and the probability that any given design was cost-effective. Half-wall designs had the highest mean expected value of net monetary benefit over a wide range of values of willingness to pay. Conclusions were robust to sensitivity analyses, including the results of the SMAA. Results were limited by the strong assumptions required to create a connected network that assessed all outcomes of interest. The decision to undertake new construction and the decision on which design aspects to integrate should reflect the complex and multi-factorial nature of the decision problem.
