Spillover effects from managed care have been defined and examined in the literature several ways, including changes in practice patterns, costs, or the diffusion of new technology relative to what might occur in markets with little managed care influence [15] [17].
If selective reporting is seen as something inevitable, a detailed analysis of its prevalence, patterns, costs, and benefits is essential to understand its dynamics and how to handle it.
The authors conclude that CPGs should include information that supports shared decision-making in addition to their current focus on influencing prescription patterns, costs and health outcomes.
In agreement with changing prescription patterns, costs for drug treatment increased, regardless of whether patients were at working age or retired (table 3).
64 Despite differences in underlying clinical data, number of plasters, treatment patterns, costs, and clinical guidelines, there is remarkable similarity in cost-effectiveness of LMP across different countries and scenarios.
