Item Metadata only Location and Provision of Support from Migrants to Left-behind Parents in Rural Cambodia(2022-03-01) Zimmer Z.; Penboon B.; Jampaklay A.; Mahidol Universityto their location, ability to provide and needs of the household. Data were sourced from the 2011 Cambodian Rural Urban Migration Project (CRUMP) (N = 3700). In bivariate analysis, 77% of both international and rural to urban internal migrants provide monetary... monetary and instrumental support. Both types of support are more likely to be provided by female migrants and to households headed by females. Results show that left-behind parents are not completely unsupported in rural Cambodia, but support provision mayPublication Metadata only Should performance-based incentives be used to motivate health care providers? Views of health sector managers in Cambodia, China and Pakistan(2019-01-01) Mishal Khan; Imara Roychowdhury; Ankita Meghani; Farah Hashmani; Josephine Borghi; Marco Liverani; London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; National University of Singapore; Mahidol University; Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; People's Primary Healthcare Initiativein Pakistan, Cambodia and China, and they highlighted many potential limitations in the applicability of financial incentives in their contexts. There was a consistent view that providers are not always primarily driven by monetary rewards and that non...-monetary rewards - such as recognition from direct supervisors and career development - could have a greater influence on performance. Managers also highlighted several challenges related to the design and implementation of performance management schemesItem Metadata only Cost-effectiveness of a short-course antibiotic treatment strategy for the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia: an economic analysis of the REGARD-VAP trial(2024-12-01) Cai Y.; Booraphun S.; Li A.Y.; Kayastha G.; Tambyah P.A.; Cooper B.S.; Graves N.; Mo Y.; Cai Y.; Mahidol University, and Thailand. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) and incremental net monetary benefits with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) were reported against relevant willingness-to-pay thresholds. Parameter uncertainties were evaluated using scenario analyses...%), and Thailand (ICER=$263; percentage cost-effectiveness=60·5%). The associated incremental net monetary benefits were $41 (95% UI –2308 to 2390) in Nepal, $5156 (–45 805 to 56 117) in Singapore, and $804 (–6245 to 7852) in Thailand. Value of information analysisPublication Metadata only Estimating the cost of health care-assodated infections: Mind your p's and q's(2010-04-01) Nicholas Graves; Stephan Harbarth; Jan Beyersmann; Adrian Barnett; Kate Halton; Ben Cooper; Queensland University of Technology QUT; Centre for Healthcare Related Infection Surveillance and Prevention; Universite de Geneve; Universitat Freiburg im Breisgau; Universitats Klinikum Freiburg und Medizinische Fakultat; Mahidol UniversityMonetary valuations of the economic cost of health care-associated infections (HAIs) are important for decision making and should be estimated accurately. Erroneously high estimates of costs, designed to jolt decision makers into action, may do more... harm than good in the struggle to attract funding for infection control. Expectations among policy makers might be raised, and then they are disappointed when the reduction in the number of HAIs does not yield the anticipated cost savingPublication Metadata only Influenza vaccination in acute coronary syndromes patients in Thailand: The cost-effectiveness analysis of the prevention for cardiovascular events and pneumonia(2018-01-01) Apirak Sribhutorn; Arintaya Phrommintikul; Wanwarang Wongcharoen; Usa Chaikledkaew; Suntara Eakanunkul; Apichard Sukonthasarn; University of Phayao; Mahidol University; Chiang Mai University-groups of 40-year-old-and-above, 50-year-old-and-above, and 65-year-old-and-above scenario was performed. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and net monetary benefit (NMB) were presented as a societal perspective in 2016. The model robustness... additional influenza vaccination to standard treatment in ACSs was cost-effective in all age-groups, which should be considered in clinical practice and health-policy making process.Publication Metadata only Economic evaluation and budget impact analysis of the surveillance program for hepatocellular carcinoma in thai chronic hepatitis B patients(2014-01-01) Pannapa Sangmala; Usa Chaikledkaew; Tawesak Tanwandee; Petcharat Pongchareonsuk; Mahidol University; Chulabhorn Hospital; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University. The semi-annual US plus AFP yielded more net monetary benefit, but caused a substantially higher budget (237 to 502 million THB) than semi-annual US (81 to 201 million THB) during the next ten fiscal years. Conclusions: Our results suggested that a semi...-annual US program should be used as the first screening for HCC surveillance and included in the benefit package of Thai health insurance schemes for both chronic hepatitis B males and females aged between 40-50 years. In addition, policy makersItem Metadata only Economic evaluation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate prophylaxis to prevent mother-to-child transmission of Hepatitis B virus infection: evidence from a lower-middle income country(2024-12-01) Nguyen H.T.; Chaikledkaew U.; Hoang M.V.; Tran V.Q.; Thavorncharoensap M.; Praditsitthikorn N.; Tran Q.D.; Thakkinstian A.; Nguyen H.T.; Mahidol UniversityNo cost-effectiveness information of preventive strategies for mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has existed for policy decision making. This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of alternative strategies... with incremental net monetary benefit varying from $33.94 to $70.64 under a healthcare system perspective and from $44.22 to $93.71 under a societal perspective. Addition of HBIG in infants born to mothers infected HBV and tenofovir prophylaxis for mothersItem Metadata only Cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus conventionatotal knee arthroplasty: an analysis from a middle income country(2025-01-01) Ruangsomboon P.; Ruangsomboon O.; Isaranuwatchai W.; Zywiel M.G.; Naimark D.M.J.; Ruangsomboon P.; Mahidol UniversityTKA cases per year with an anticipated lifespan of 12.5 years. We considered direct medical, non-medical, and indirect costs, alongside quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained from a societal perspective. We calculated incremental net monetaryItem Metadata only Cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies for non-displaced osteoporotic femoral neck fractures in older adults in Ontario, Canada(2026-05-01) Ruangsomboon P.; Huang Y.Q.; Ruangsomboon O.; Tam D.; Zywiel M.; Ravi B.; Naimark D.M.J.; Ruangsomboon P.; Mahidol University. Outcomes included quality-adjusted life-months (QALMs), lifetime costs (discounted at 1.5% annually), net monetary benefits (NMBs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). All costs are presented in Canadian dollars (CAD, $). The cost
