Outcome measures included overall characteristics of Medicare beneficiaries receiving facet joint interventions, utilization of facet joint interventions by place of service, by specialty, reimbursement characteristics, and other variables.
While the cost per QALY is positive for scenarios with low levels of intervention utilization, higher levels of effectiveness with higher levels of utilization resulted in net cost savings.
Without considering the individual-level indicators of intervention utilization, there was a graded and inverse association between CCI at the country level and probability of child mortality.
Training included communication, adult learning techniques, knowledge of messages specific to the intervention, and utilization of interactive tools to deliver the intervention.
Finally, we examine in a single regression framework whether the method of data collection influences the effect of the free care intervention on utilization of health services.
To evaluate the effect of the iCCM intervention on utilization of the HEW at the health post, adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were evaluated for this independent variable of interest in each of the models accounting for potential confounders.
Though it may serve as a valuable evidence for humanitarian intervention, the utilization of mortality data to make timely policy decisions is dependent on the available data which may be anecdotal, unsound or unrepresentative (Mark Phelan, U.S. Department of State) [ 23].

The hypothesis of this study is that through a package of interventions the utilization of skilled birth attendants will be increased and hence improve maternal health in Nepal.
We encourage other researchers to conduct comparable studies that can provide evidence-based results and guide prospective humanitarian interventions in utilization of reproductive health in conflict affected-settings.
