Pricing Policy for Medical Oxygen and Potential Savings
1 Introduction Medical oxygen is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an essential medicine with no substitute [1]. Although its use is vital in health care, its production and storage have been a challenge since the beginning of its utilization in the 18th and 19th centuries and even more so when this treatment was used on a large scale on the battlefields of the First World War [2-5].

Prenatal Screening for CMV Primary Infection: A Cost‐Utility Model
1 Introduction Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of congenital infections [1]. It is a major cause of neurodevelopmental disorders, including sensorineural hearing loss [2, 3], visual impairment and/or cognitive delay [4], and is also associated with intrauterine foetal death, neonatal death and pregnancy termination [5, 6]. In Canada, as in most high-resource settings, 1 in 200 neonates are congenitally infected with CMV [7].
Identification of Mood Disorders in Self‐Reported Versus Health Administrative Data
1 Introduction Mood and anxiety disorders are the most common groups of mental disorders worldwide, with mood disorders (MDs), such as major depressive, dysthymic, or bipolar disorders, affecting 4.2% of the global population in 2018 (James et al. 2018). It is estimated that about one-fifth of Americans suffer from MDs sometime in their life (Kessler et al. 2005).

Exploring the consistency of the SF-6Dv2 in a breast cancer population
ABSTRACT Background: Short-Form Six-Dimension version 2 (SF-6Dv2) is a multi-attribute utility instrument that can be used in combination with the SF-36v2 (SF-6Dv2SF-36) or as an independent instrument in two forms: six questions (SF-6Dv2ind-6) and 10 questions (SF-6Dv2ind-10). The purpose of this research was to assess the consistency between the results of the SF-6Dv2ind-6 and the SF-6Dv2SF-36 in patients with breast cancer.

Early introduction without screening is a good deal, if caregivers will buy it
More than three years after the LEAP trial,1 the best way to implement early introduction (EI) of foods to infants at high‐risk of food allergy (FA) is still a matter of debate. Given the cost of screening and limited healthcare resources, the perfect balance between fair resources allocation and optimal patient care can be elusive. Currently in Allergy, two cost‐effectiveness studies comparing different approaches to promote EI of peanut2 or egg3 in infants at high risk of FA are published.
Physical activity assessment and counseling in Quebec family medicine groups
AbstractObjective To determine how often primary health care providers (PHCPs) in family medicine groups (FMGs) assess physical activity (PA) levels, provide PA counseling (PAC), and refer patients to exercise professionals; to describe patients’ PA levels, physical fitness, and satisfaction regarding their PA management in FMGs; to describe available PA materials in FMGs and PHCPs’ PAC self-efficacy and PA knowledge; and to identify characteristics of patients and PHCPs that determine the...
Percutaneous coronary intervention with second-generation drug-eluting stent versus bare-metal stent: Systematic review and cost-benefit analysis
DES-2s are much more effective than BMSs with respect to TVR rate ratio (i.e., 0.29 to 0.62 in more recent meta-analyses). DES-2s seem to cause fewer deaths and in-stent thrombosis than BMSs, but results are rarely significant, with the exception of the cobalt–chromium everolimus DES. The rate ratio of myocardial infraction is systematically in favor of DES-2s and very often significant.
Water immersion during labor and birth: is there an extra cost for hospitals?
Water immersion during labor and birth is growing in popularity, and many hospitals are now considering offering this service to laboring women. Some advantages of water immersion are demonstrated, but others remain uncertain, and particularly, few studies have examined the financial impact of such a device on hospitals. This study simulated what could be the extra cost of water immersion for hospitals.
The value of wetlands in Quebec: a comparison between contingent valuation and choice experiment
This study aims to evaluate the non-market values of ecosystem services generated by wetlands in southern Quebec. To accomplish this, we evaluated the value of wetland services related to (1) habitat for biodiversity, (2) flood control, (3) water quality and (4) climate regulation. Two non-market valuation methods are proposed, contingent valuation and choice experiment.
Which factors drive the choice of the French‐speaking Quebec population towards a COVID‐19 vaccination programme: A discrete‐choice experiment
1 INTRODUCTION On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) characterized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic.1 As of 11 May 2022, 15,201 $\mathrm{15,201}$ deaths were reported in the province of Quebec, Canada, out of a total of 39,984 $\mathrm{39,984}$ deaths in Canada.2 Since the beginning of the pandemic, mass vaccination has appeared to be the best way out of the crisis.
Associated criteria used in investigating suspected septic transfusion reactions: A scoping review
The criteria for triggering investigation of septic transfusion reactions (STRs) vary widely across the world. Post-transfusion hyperthermia, body temperature increase and hypotension were the commonly reported criteria that trigger the investigation of STRs. Additional multi-centre studies are warranted to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the criteria for triggering STR investigations.
