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

Advanced 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.

Clinical benefit and cost effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty in the older patient

European Journal of Medical Research, 2009
Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective, but also cost-intensive health care procedure for the elderly. Furthermore, bearing demographic changes in Western Europe in mind, TKA-associated financial investment for health care insurers will ...

Discrete Event Simulation for Decision Modeling in Health Care: Lessons from Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening [PDF]

, 2017
Markov models are often used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of new healthcare interventions but they are sometimes not flexible enough to allow accurate modeling or investigation of alternative scenarios and policies.

Cost Utility Analysis of Fluticasone Exhalation Delivery System Versus Budesonide Nasal Irrigation for Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is managed after sinus surgery with topical corticosteroids. Given limited distribution of nasal steroid sprays, patients have the option of either steroid nasal irrigation (SNI) or exhalation delivery system with fluticasone (EDS‐FLU).

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

BMJ 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 ...

Well-Being, Inequality and Time: The Time-Slice Problem and its Policy Implications [PDF]

, 2007
Should equality be viewed from a lifetime or sublifetime perspective? In measuring the inequality of income, for example, should we measure the inequality of lifetime income or of annual income? In characterizing a tax as progressive or regressive,

Toward Solution‐Time Advantage With Error‐Mitigated Quantum Annealing for Combinatorial Optimization

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel error mitigation technique to address the qubit errors that occur when solving combinatorial optimization problems with quantum annealing. The approach significantly speeds up the computation to reach the global optimum solution for a correlated 3D image segmentation model for material microstructures, demonstrating a ...

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

The 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.

The Use of Allograft or Xenograft Augmentation in Rotator Cuff Repair Is Cost‐Effective Particularly With Allograft

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the cost‐effectiveness of using allograft and xenograft augmentation at the time of primary rotator cuff repair (RCR) using a decision tree analysis. Methods An expected‐value decision tree analysis was developed to compare the costs and outcomes of primary RCR for large tears performed with or without graft augmentation.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events among patients with type 2 diabetes in China.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The use of aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with lower rates of cardiovascular events but increased risks of bleeding complications.
