This growing level of interest suggests that the ability of cost-of-illness analysis to help us understand the social impact of diseases may allow this approach to become a useful tool for designing public policies [ 55, 56].
In addition, cost data by the Swiss National Insurance for Accidents (UVG) were used to confirm the ability of our cost data to represent the average Swiss patient undergoing either surgical or conservative treatment for ACL rupture.
This finding was not anticipated since Medicare beneficiaries with Medicaid coverage have greatly reduced cost-sharing for medical visits (infused anti-TNF administration) and prescription drug co-payments (self-administered anti-TNFs), and the ability of reduced cost-sharing to increase biological use and drive anti-TNF selection is well documented.
The results show that by combination of wire-winding and autofrettage techniques, in addition to ability of reducing production costs, infinite fatigue life could be accessible.
In contrast to mammography, the ability of the higher cost techniques of CT, MRI and PET to be cost-effective in cancer screening remains to be demonstrated.
The motivation for this review is the notion that a clearer distinction between effects on individual traits such as growth rate or yield (trait effects) and how those effects translate to changes of allele frequencies over time (selective effects) may improve our ability to explain variation of costs of resistance.
Numerous oxide structures are successfully created to demonstrate the ability of this low cost and accurate system, including a 30 μm long cantilever.
This study deals with the examination of the ability of a low-cost electronic nose (e‐nose) for prediction of banana quality indices such as total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), pH and firmness at different shelf-life stages.
While Gan et al. [8] proposed automatic patterning with AFM through local anodic oxidation, with numerous oxide structures being successfully created to demonstrate the ability of this low cost and accurate system.
It is comprised of three interlinked dimensions; namely availability (e.g. physical location of health facility relative to the population served), affordability (e.g. the degree of fit between the health service related costs and the ability of households to meet these costs) and acceptability (e.g. providers' attitudes to and expectations of patients and vice versa).
