Retaining, and Enhancing, the QALY

open access: yesValue in Health, 2009
quality-of-life impacts, the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) has beenwidely recognized and endorsed [1–3].The US Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicinerecommended the QALY for “reference case” analyses [2]. TheUK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)regularly uses QALYs in its technology appraisals [3 ...

A QALY loss is a QALY loss is a QALY loss: a note on independence of loss aversion from health states [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Journal of Health Economics, 2018
Evidence has accumulated documenting loss aversion for monetary and, recently, for health outcomes-meaning that, generally, losses carry more weight than equally sized gains. In the conventional Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY) models, which comprise utility for quality and length of life, loss aversion is not taken into account.

Factorization Machine with Iterative Quantum Reverse Annealing: A Python Package for Batch Black‐Box Optimization With Reverse Quantum Annealing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Factorization machine with iterative quantum reverse annealing (FMIRA) leverages quantum reverse annealing to perform batch black‐box optimization. Factorization machine with quantum annealing (FMQA) is a widely used python package for solving black‐box optimization problems using D‐Wave quantum annealers.

Economic impact of potentially inappropriate prescribing and related adverse events in older people: a cost-utility analysis using Markov models

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2019
Objectives To determine the economic impact of three drugs commonly involved in potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) in adults aged ≥65 years, including their adverse effects (AEs): long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs ...

Good, Fairness and QALYs

open access: yes, 1988
Counting QALYs (quality adjusted life years) has been proposed as a way of deciding how resources should be distributed in the health service: put resources where they will produce the most QALYs. This proposal has encountered strong opposition.

A Comprehensive Comparative Study of Active Learning Schemes for Nanophotonics Design

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Active learning (AL) strategies are benchmarked for the binary design of planar multilayer nanophotonic structures. Factorization machines combined with quantum annealing (QA) become effective as dimensionality increases. Hybrid QA provides the strongest results for 100‐layer problems, highlighting the importance of optimization method selection in ...

A new axiomatic approach to the evaluation of population health [PDF]

open access: yes
We explore in this paper the implications of ethical and operational principles for the evaluation of population health. We formalize those principles as axioms for social preferences over distributions of health for a given population.

Talk to Your Data: An Agentic Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Decision‐Support Framework for Prosumer Energy Optimization and Recommendations

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An agentic AI‐driven decision‐support framework for prosumers is proposed, integrating PV generation, load profiling, and multihorizon optimization within a four‐agent architecture. The approach significantly reduces grid dependence, enhances self‐sufficiency and prevents system oversizing.
