Interaction of Intraprocedural Antiplatelets and Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Intracranial Stenting: RESISTANT Registry Subanalysis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Objective Acute intracranial stenting during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for ischemic stroke requires intraprocedural antiplatelet therapy (APT) to maintain patency. However, the hemorrhagic risk of combining APT with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) remains uncertain.

Quality-Adjusted Life Years

Practical Neurology, 2008
Many health systems now use cost-effectiveness analysis to decide which interventions and programmes to fund. A key issue for such decision making is how to measure health outcomes from interventions to reflect changes in both health-related quality of life and life expectancy.

Not all “quality-adjusted life years” are equal

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2007
There is evidence that utility elicitation methods used in the calculation of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) yield different results. It is not clear how these differences impact economic evaluations.Using a mathematical model incorporating data on efficacy, costs, and utility values, we simulated the experiences of 100,000 hypothetical rheumatoid

Quality-Adjusted Life-Years without Constant Proportionality [PDF]

open access: yesValue in Health, 2018
A quality-adjusted life-year is a common unit of measurement in health valuation. Under its constant proportionality assumption, the value of a quality-adjusted life span is defined as the product of preference weight and life span.To empirically identify an alternative functional relationship between life span and value by relaxing the constant ...

The importance of Perspective in the Measurement of Quality-adjusted Life Years

Medical Decision Making, 1997
Scaling instruments for the measurement of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) incor porate either a personal or an impersonal perspective on the benefits of a health intervention and either do or do not incorporate considerations of equity. This paper sets out three hypotheses concerning perspective and equity: 1) that more equally distributed ...

Cost-Utility Analysis and Quality Adjusted Life Years

Journal of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy, 2005
Cost utility analysis is a form of cost-effectiveness analysis in which outcomes are adjusted for quality and quantity of life. This type of analysis is used widely in Europe and is being used increasingly in the United States. This article provides an overview of cost utility analysis and quality adjusted life years, a commonly used effectiveness ...
