An economic perspective of dementia care in Ireland:maximising benefits and maintaining cost efficiency
(2011)
Trepel, Dominic
Abstract:
Dementia is a major health issue and a global condition. Increasing prevalence, costs and burden of disease assert significant pressure on economic and social systems in many countries. Globally costs for people with dementia amount to more than 1% of gross domestic product (GDP)[1]. Concurrently, the World Health Organisation [2]observes a growing gap between budget allocation and the associated burden of mental health disorders, particularly in higher income countries. Point in care, the economic burden of dementia ranks higher than stroke, heart disease and cancer combined [3], however health care allocations for dementia continue to be substantially lower than each of these individual disease groups. Given the multiple agents who are involved in dementia care, ascertaining expenditure has inherent difficulties. A common indicator is investment on long term care, which is the composite of institutional and community based home care. Figure 1 compares spend (as a percentage of GDP...

Abstract:
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with perinatal health risks to both mother and offspring, and represents a large economic burden. The DALI study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial, undertaken to add to the knowledge base on the effectiveness of interventions for pregnant women at increased risk for GDM. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the healthy eating and/or physical activity promotion intervention compared to usual care among pregnant women at increased risk of GDM from a societal perspective. Methods: An economic evaluation was performed alongside a European multicenter-randomized controlled trial. A total of 435 pregnant women at increased risk of GDM in primary and secondary care settings in nine European countries, were recruited and randomly allocated to a healthy eating and physical activity promotion intervention (HE + PA intervention), a healthy eating promotion intervention (HE intervention), or ...

Gallagher, James
Abstract:
Introduction The concept of this thesis was driven by stagnation within the Irish healthcare system. Multiple reports from pharmacy organisations had outlined possible future directions for the profession but progress was minimal, especially in comparison with other countries. The author’s directive was to evaluate the economic impact of a series of clinical pharmacy services (CPS) in hospital and community settings. Methods A systematic review of economic evaluations of clinical pharmacy services in hospital patients was undertaken to gain insight into recent research in the field. Eligible studies were evaluated using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS), to establish the quality, consistency and transparency of relevant research. A retrospective analysis of an internal hospital pharmacy interventions database was conducted. A method first described by Nesbit et al. was implemented to estimate the level of cost avoidance achieved. A cost-effect...

Economics and ethics of paediatric respiratory extra corporeal life
(2013)
Callaghan, M; Doyle, Y; O Hare, B; M Healy, M; Nˆ¶lke, L
Abstract:
Extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of life support, which facilitates gas exchange outside the body via an oxygenator and a centrifugal pumping system. A paediatric cardiac ECMO programme was established in 2005 at Our Ladyâ s Childrenâ s Hospital, Crumlin (OLCHC) and to date 75 patients have received ECMO, the majority being post operative cardiac patients. The outcome data compares favourably with international figures. ECMO has been most successful in the treatment of newborn infants with life threatening respiratory failure from conditions such as meconium aspiration, respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory infections. There is no formal paediatric respiratory ECMO programme at OLCHC, or anywhere else in Ireland. Currently, neonates requiring respiratory ECMO are transferred to centres in Sweden or the UK at an average cost of 133,000/infant, funded by the Health Service Executive E112 treatment abroad scheme. There is considerable morbidity associate...

Elderly return migration from Britain to Ireland: a preliminary study
(1996)
Malcolm, Elizabeth
Abstract:
There has been a long history of migration by Irish people to Britain, with the Irish-born population in Britain numbering 837,464 persons in 1991. This population has a much older age structure than that in the Republic of Ireland. In England and Wales for example, 32 per cent of Irish women and 19 per cent of Irish men are above pensionable age. There is also evidence that a large section of the Irish-born older population in Britain have some desire to return to Ireland. 2. Significant sections of the Irish-born population in Britain seem to have a poor economic and health-related quality of life on a number of indicators. In the areas of housing and finance, this may be due to the economic dislocation generally experienced by first generation migrants. The poorer average health of the Irish-born population on the other hand; is linked to its older age profile.

Abstract:
The field of implementation science was developed to better understand the factors that facilitate or impede implementation and generate evidence for implementation strategies. In this article, we briefly review progress in implementation science, and suggest five priorities for enhancing the impact of implementation strategies. Specifically, we suggest the need to: 1) enhance methods for designing and tailoring implementation strategies; 2) specify and test mechanisms of change; 3) conduct more effectiveness research on discrete, multi-faceted, and tailored implementation strategies; 4) increase economic evaluations of implementation strategies; and 5) improve the tracking and reporting of implementation strategies. We believe that pursuing these priorities will advance implementation science by helping us to understand when, where, why, and how implementation strategies improve implementation effectiveness and subsequent health outcomes.

Estimates of the cost of a child in Ireland
(2011)
Garvey, Eoghan; Murphy, Eithne; Osikoya, Paul
Abstract:
The cost of a child is estimated using information from the household budget surveys from 1987 to 2004. We use an Engel method, where the share of household expenditure on food and a broader basket of necessities both act as proxies for the material standard of living. The cost of a child is also disaggregated according to age, gender and the income status of the family. We find that older children are more costly than younger children and that children cost proportionately more in lower income households. The gap between the cost of children for lower and higher income households has increased over time. Our findings on the cost of children according to age are consistent with international findings and previous results for Ireland. Our results on the cost of children according to the income status of their families are consistent with the results of international studies using comparable methods.

Evaluating the economic impacts and cost-effectiveness of PSA testing for the secondary prevention of prostate cancer in the Republic of Ireland
(2016)
Burns, Richéal
Abstract:
Prostate cancer (PCa) incidence, internationally, has steadily increased since the latter half of the twentieth century as with the prevalence of other cancers. (Jemel et al, 2008; Jemel et al, 2011) It is recognised that increased incidence of PCa is partially driven by widespread use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing as a screening mechanism. (Drummond et al, 2010; Etzioni et al, 2002) The PSA test, a blood test measuring protein in the prostate, was discovered by Dr. Robert Ablin in the 1970’s as a way of monitoring PSA levels post-treatment for purposes of preventing relapse; Dr. Albin now refers to the test as ‘a hugely expensive public health disaster.’ (Albin R, 2010) He is not alone in this assertion as the use of PSA testing has sparked continued debate internationally; not only is it argued the PSA test has inadequate levels of cancer detection properties, but evidence highlighting a mortality benefit as a screening mechanism for PCa is limited and open to much de...

Evaluation of complex workplace dietary interventions
(2016)
Fitzgerald, Sarah
Abstract:
Background and aim The workplace has been identified as an ideal setting in which to promote healthy dietary behaviours. However, uncertainty surrounds both the effectiveness and costeffectiveness of workplace dietary interventions and a dearth of evidence exists with regards to evaluating the implementation process of such interventions. The core aim of this thesis was to conduct both a process evaluation and an economic evaluation of the Food Choice at Work (FCW) complex workplace dietary intervention. Methods The FCW study was a pragmatic trial which measured the effectiveness of a complex workplace dietary intervention in ideal settings. Firstly, a cross-sectional analysis which employed a zero-inflated negative binomial (zinb) regression model to examine associations between objective health status outcomes, lifestyle characteristics and absenteeism was conducted. Secondly, a detailed process evaluation addressed the implementation of the complex workplace intervention. Intervi...

Health research making an impact the economic and social benefits of HRB funded research
(2008)
Nason, Edward; Janta, Barbara; Hastings, Gillian; Hanney, Stephen; O’Driscoll, Mairead; Wooding, Steven
Abstract:
The Health Research Board (HRB) has been a key funder of health research in Ireland over the past 21 years. In order to show the effectiveness of its research funding, the HRB has commissioned this payback study of eight grants funded in the early and mid-1990s. The objective was to show how HRB-funded research can lead to economic (and social) benefits for Ireland. Health research in Ireland has undergone seismic changes over the last 20 years. In 1987, HRB funding for health research amounted to €2m with some other support from EU framework grants and Wellcome Trust. By 2007, the HRB budget was €50m, now alongside even more substantial funding from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and university infrastructure funding. The HRB funds health research from basic biomedical and clinical research through to Health Services Research (HSR), public health and primary care research. The HRB has a broad mission to improve health and advance the knowledge economy so this report uses a very b...

Health technology assessment: a primer for ophthalmology
(2018)
Murphy, Aileen; McElnea, Elizabeth; Byrne, Sinead
Abstract:
Rising healthcare costs and increasing demands for health care require techniques to choose between competing uses and even rationing of health care. Economic evaluations and health technology assessments are increasingly a means to assess the cost effectiveness of healthcare interventions so as to inform such resource allocation decisions. To date, the adoption of health technology assessments, as a way of assessing cost effectiveness, in ophthalmology has been slower, relative to their implementation in other specialities. Nevertheless, demands for eye services are increasing due to an ageing population. The prevalence of conditions such as glaucoma, cataract, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration increases with age, and it is predicted that global blindness will triple by 2050. So there is a challenge for ophthalmologists to ensure that they can contribute to, interpret, critically evaluate, and use findings from economic evaluations in their clinical practice...

Role of the pharmacist in reducing healthcare costs: current insights
(2017)
Dalton, Kieran; Byrne, Stephen
Abstract:
Global healthcare expenditure is escalating at an unsustainable rate. Money spent on medicines and managing medication-related problems continues to grow. The high prevalence of medication errors and inappropriate prescribing is a major issue within healthcare systems, and can often contribute to adverse drug events, many of which are preventable. As a result, there is a huge opportunity for pharmacists to have a significant impact on reducing healthcare costs, as they have the expertise to detect, resolve, and prevent medication errors and medication-related problems. The development of clinical pharmacy practice in recent decades has resulted in an increased number of pharmacists working in clinically advanced roles worldwide. Pharmacist-provided services and clinical interventions have been shown to reduce the risk of potential adverse drug events and improve patient outcomes, and the majority of published studies show that these pharmacist activities are cost-effective or have a...

Abstract:
This report gathers together the data collected Support for Asylum Seekers in Ireland (SASI) survey. This first wave of data collection was carried out from 9 January through 5 April 2013. The aims of the survey were to gain an overview of the field of asylum support and to address the following research questions: What effects has the recession had on the field? To what extent do asylum seekers participate in the field? What types of organisations tend to work together? To those ends, the survey included questions about the attributes of participating organisations as well as questions about their working relationships with other organisations. Those organisations that are non-profit,non-statutory and name asylum seekers as among their main beneficiaries were invited to participate. In total, 50 eligible organisations took part in the survey

Abstract:
The Cost of Sight Loss study was commissioned by NCBI for the following reasons: l to identify the trends of sight loss in the Irish population by age and types of eye conditions in 2010, 2015 and 2020; l to provide Irish planners with tangible evidence as to why investments in vision and sight loss services makes economic sense; l to provide ophthalmologists and other sight loss professionals with robust research data to support the development of eye health and eye care services in Ireland through the application of drug therapies, screening programmes, surgery and rehabilitation services and l to provide the Irish Government with an evidence framework on which to build a national vision strategy, which was promised in 2004 but has yet to be delivered. Deloitte Access Economics was chosen for this research because of their unique expertise in quantifying all the elements of sight loss into the new vocabulary of economic persuasion.

Abstract:
Aims/hypothesis The aim of the study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in primary and secondary care settings, compared with a no-screening option, in the Republic of Ireland. Methods The analysis was based on a decision-tree model of alternative screening strategies in primary and secondary care settings. It synthesised data generated from a randomised controlled trial (screening uptake) and from the literature. Costs included those relating to GDM screening and treatment, and the care of adverse outcomes. Effects were assessed in terms of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). The impact of the parameter uncertainty was assessed in a range of sensitivity analyses. Results Screening in either setting was found to be superior to no screening, i.e. it provided for QALY gains and cost savings. Screening in secondary care was found to be superior to screening in primary care, providing for modest QALY gains of 0.0006 and a saving of...

Abstract:
Abstract Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a life-limiting lung disease with considerable impact on patients and carers as the disease progresses. Currently few treatments are available. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of available treatments for IPF. Methods Systematic reviews of clinical effectiveness, quality of life and cost effectiveness were undertaken. Eleven bibliographic databases were searched from inception to July 2013 and studies were assessed for eligibility against a set of pre-defined criteria. Two reviewers screened references, extracted data from included studies and appraised their quality. An advisory group was consulted about the choice of interventions. A narrative review was undertaken and where feasible fixed effect and random effects meta-analysis were undertaken including a network meta-analysis (NMA).A decision-analytic Markov model was developed to estimate cost...

The length of stay of in-patient stroke discharges in Irish acute hospitals
(2013)
Keegan, Conor; Smith, Samantha
Abstract:
Abstract: Stroke imposes an important economic burden worldwide and acute in-patient care accounts for a large proportion of costs in the first year following stroke. Length of stay (LOS) is regarded as a key determinant of in-patient costs and the primary focus of this study is to examine associations between LOS of acute stroke discharges and a range of individual and system level factors. Specific focus is placed on the association between stroke units and LOS. Results indicate associations between a number of policy-relevant variables and LOS including among others, MRSA infection, availability of brain imaging and discharge destination. We find some evidence that acute stroke units are associated with lower LOS however these findings should be interpreted carefully.
