World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 371-387, August 2023., 2023 Abstract The focus on irrigation infrastructure development in countries like India, including a significant allocation of the government's budget, highlights the importance of achieving a high benefit–cost ratio for these projects. However, past reviews have revealed instances where irrigation projects yielded low benefits.

Prioritizing areas for ecological restoration: A participatory approach based on cost‐effectiveness
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 1194-1205, June 2023., 2023 The cost‐effectiveness of restoration actions depends on the type of ecosystem and degradation state. Visualizing the outcomes of alternative restoration scenarios needs participatory prioritization maps based on financial costs and the potential supply of ecosystem services.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 10, Page 2553-2566, October 2022., 2022 While prevention has been long recognised as the most cost‐effective action against biological invasions, here we were able to quantify the reduction in invasion risk under a range of management scenarios. Optimising all management elements included in the FT reduced the overall probability of invasion by three orders of magnitude.

Virtual reality interventions for victims of crime: A systematic review
Journal of Traumatic Stress, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 804-812, June 2022., 2022 Abstract In the forensic field, most studies employing virtual reality (VR) interventions have focused on offenders. The validity and safety of VR applications for victims of crime are still unclear. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review on VR interventions for crime victims was performed to assess the efficacy, acceptability by patients ...

Evaluating the social and ecological effectiveness of partially protected marine areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 921-932, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a primary tool for the stewardship, conservation, and restoration of marine ecosystems, yet 69% of global MPAs are only partially protected (i.e., are open to some form of fishing). Although fully protected areas have well‐documented outcomes, including increased fish diversity and biomass, the effectiveness ...

Cost‐effectiveness of gallbladder histopathology after cholecystectomy for benign disease
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1125-1136, December 2020., 2020 The objective of this study was to assess the cost‐effectiveness of routine and selective gallbladder histopathology when performing cholecystectomy for benign disease. The most important factor for cost‐effectiveness was found to be the cost and number of histological analyses, due to large numbers of cholecystectomies relative to low prevalence of ...

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 12, Page 1686-1694, November 2020., 2020 A cost‐effectiveness analysis of Hartmann's procedure versus primary anastomosis (with or without ileostomy) for patients with purulent or faecal peritonitis was conducted within the DIVA arm of the multicentre randomized Ladies trial. Primary anastomosis was found to be more cost‐effective than Hartmann's procedure and was associated with ...

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 914-923, October 2020., 2020 This population‐based cost–utility analysis compared early operative management (EOM) for adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) to the current standard of care of a trial of non‐operative management. Although EOM was more costly, it was associated with a significantly lower risk of recurrence and reduced exposure to the morbidity and costs associated ...

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 830-839, October 2020., 2020 Laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (LSG) is associated with good perioperative outcomes and superior quality of life compared with the open approach to resection of gastric adenocarcinoma, albeit at higher cost. A cost–effectiveness analysis comparing the two approaches found LSG to be cost‐effective compared with the open approach, with an incremental ...
