Previous studies demonstrated the difficulties of making generalisations about specific factors associated with high levels of utilisation.
Our review of previous studies demonstrated the great difficulties of making generalisations about specific factors associated with high levels of utilisation.
However, despite the extensive presence of naturopathic practitioners in rural and regional Australia, and the high levels of utilisation amongst the population in these regions, there has been little research to date exploring the level of integration or the factors that underlie any integration of naturopathy in rural and regional general practice in Australia.
BCal's envisaged two-Concorde fleet would have required a high level of aircraft utilisation to be cost-effective; therefore, BCal had decided to operate the second aircraft on a supersonic service between Gatwick and Atlanta, with a stopover at either Gander or Halifax.
Dental operators had maintained their relatively high level of ART utilisation in primary teeth from year 1 to year 5 and increased it in permanent teeth.
The clearly articulated role for these CM professions for a limited range of conditions may partly explain these higher levels of utilisation.
Quality of care may also decrease (e.g. greater waiting times, poor provider behaviour) with higher levels of utilisation, unless there are offsetting investments in staff and supplies.
In fact, Australia has one of the highest levels of utilisation at 1,574 cycles per million population, with the average cost of a standard in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle at $5,492.
12 Although the authors did not distinguish between robotic versus non-robotic surgery in their study, our study found that private insurance status is associated with higher levels of utilisation of robotic surgery for RP patients, consistent with the previous study.
Secondary chronic headache is a heterogeneous group of headache disorders with a high level of health care utilisation.
This variation in the intensity of hospitalisation across survivors of a similar age and post-diagnosis period is considered in Maddams et al (2011), which used a population person-time analysis to estimate the proportion of survivors with a low or high level of health-service utilisation, as well as those with none.
