Future trials with an economic evaluation are needed that have sufficient power to detect cost differences.
In addition, the RCT was underpowered to detect cost differences, because the power calculation was based on maternal fasting blood glucose.
When maximizing sensitivity for detecting cost studies, the single term "exp economic aspect" produced the highest sensitivity at 98.9% with a specificity of 93.1%.
First, we took both provider and patient perspectives, a viewpoint which enables a reflection on the distribution of the financial burden and helps to detect cost shifting between different segments of society.
When maximizing for both sensitivity and specificity, the combination of terms for detecting cost studies (sensitivity) increased 2.2% over the single term but at a slight decrease in specificity of 0.9%.
Further, the Swedish trial-based economic evaluation of the PLATO trial did not show a statistical difference in costs between the treatment groups. 2 The authors mentioned that the PLATO subeconomic study may not have been powered to detect cost differences between treatment arms.
The costing approach will incorporate a broad analytical perspective (National Health Service and Social Services), which will help to detect cost-shifting between sectors.
We further suggest the environmental conditions likely experienced by different ages of damselflies, following resistance expression, has influenced optimal immune investment by individuals in different age classes and the likelihood of detecting costs of resistance.
With a multiple regression model, apart from the fixed costs, the incremental cost for each STI detected and cost of treatment was INR 55.57 (US$1.211) and for each follow-up visit was INR 3.75 (US$0.088).
The systematic review will capture all reported model outcomes, which may include quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) from cost-utility analyses, cases detected from cost-effectiveness analyses, net monetary benefits from cost-benefit analyses, as well as other outcomes.
