Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Performance of Small Cluster Surveys and the Clustered LQAS Design to estimate Local-level Vaccination Coverage in Mali [PDF]

, 2012
Background Estimation of vaccination coverage at the local level is essential to identify communities that may require additional support. Cluster surveys can be used in resource-poor settings, when population figures are inaccurate.

A Hybrid Group Acceptance Sampling plans For Life Tests Based on Gumbel Distribution

, 2023
Abstract In this research article Hybrid Group Acceptance Sampling Plans (HGASP) are developed for Gumbel distribution based on truncated lifetimes when the lifetime of a product follows a Gumbel distribution. For a given size of the group, the minimum number testers and the acceptance number of groups for the test termination time and ...

‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Group acceptance sampling plan based on truncated life tests using extended odd Weibull exponential distribution with application to the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients

AIP Advances
This study examines group acceptance sampling plans for many items evaluated together, with the product lifetime following the extended odd Weibull exponential (EOWEx) distribution. Significant design parameters are derived when the consumer risk and the

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Dose Proton Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with

Non-Technical Individual Skills are Weakly Connected to the Maturity of Agile Practices

, 2018
Context: Existing knowledge in agile software development suggests that individual competency (e.g. skills) is a critical success factor for agile projects. While assuming that technical skills are important for every kind of software development project,

Optimizing Group Size using Percentile Based Group Acceptance Sampling Plans with Application

Contemporary Mathematics
The present paper focuses on optimizing the sample size and the acceptance number which are commonly known as design parameters for the group acceptance sampling plan (GASP). Design parameters are analyzed under the assumption that the characteristic of interest for the product follows Another Generalized Transmuted-Exponential (AGTransmuted ...
