“…They can now be prioritized and ranked according to this criterion based on the scores they received. Some of the expected advantages of this approach in comparison with other priority-setting methodologies are its transparency, limitation of personal biases through a structured survey, a systematic process with very specific outcomes and intuitive quantitative scores (3,4). The concerns over subjectivity of this approach are discussed in the concluding paragraph, where possible biases and limitations of the methodology are addressed.…”

“…chnri.org), an initiative of the Global Forum for Health Research, launched a project to develop a systematic method for setting priorities in health research investments and to apply it to global child health (1). This effort was motivated by a notion that current research investment prioritization approaches suffer from many shortcomings which may partly be responsible for persisting high levels of mortality in children globally (2)(3)(4). The target audience for the proposed method are international agencies, large research funding donors, and national governments and policy-makers.…”

This article provides detailed guidelines for the implementation of systematic method for setting priorities in health research investments that was recently developed by Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI). The target audience for the proposed method are international agencies, large research funding donors, and national governments and policy-makers. The process has the following steps: (i) selecting the managers of the process; (ii) specifying the context and risk management preferences; (iii) discussing criteria for setting health research priorities; (iv) choosing a limited set of the most useful and important criteria; (v) developing means to assess the likelihood that proposed health research options will satisfy the selected criteria; (vi) systematic listing of a large number of proposed health research *These authors contributed equally to this work.

“…In view of the lack of interest and investment in research on interventions to reduce stillbirths, we aimed to identify the highest priority areas of research with the method developed by CHNRI 89 and expansion of a preliminary exercise undertaken during meetings of the Global Alliance for Prevention of Prematurity and Stillbirths (GAPPS) in 2009. 6 In the CHNRI method, experts are canvassed and consulted, and their opinions are used to give priority ratings to several research questions that could represent priority areas.…”

“…There have been relatively few attempts to compare dementia costs with those of other chronic diseases. In the UK, it was estimated that the health and social care costs for dementia (£23billion in 2008), almost matched the combined costs of cancer (£12bn), heart disease (£8bn) and stroke (£5bn) (43) . In the US ADAMS study the national societal cost of dementia in 2010 was estimated in the range of US$159bn to US$215bn annually; the component of this that related to care purchased in the marketplace (i.e.…”

China, the focus for one meta-analysis (42) , while a second also included studies conducted in Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan (43) . Estimates taken from the China meta-analysis suggested a 46% relative increase in age-standardised prevalence from 1990 to 2010 (+2.3% per year), while from the wider review the increase was 171% from studies conducted in the pre-1990 period to 2005-2012.…”

foreword Today, over 46 million people live with dementia worldwide, more than the population of Spain. This number is estimated to increase to 131.5 million by 2050.Dementia also has a huge economic impact. Today, the total estimated worldwide cost of dementia is US $818 billion, and it will become a trillion dollar disease by 2018. This means that if dementia care were a country, it would be the world's 18th largest economy, more than the market values of companies such as Apple (US$ 742 billion), Google (US$ 368 billion) and Exxon (US$ 357 billion).In many parts of the world, there is a growing awareness of dementia, but across the globe it remains the case that a diagnosis of dementia can bring with it stigma and social isolation. Today, we estimate that 94% of people living with dementia in low and middle income countries are cared for at home. These are regions where health and care systems often provide limited or no support to people living with dementia or to their families.The 2015 World Alzheimer Report updates data on the prevalence, incidence, cost and trends of dementia worldwide. It also estimates how these numbers will increase in the future, leaving us with no doubt that dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and other causes, is one of the biggest global public health and social care challenges facing people today and in the future.The two organisations we lead are ADI, the only worldwide federation of Alzheimer associations and global voice on dementia, and Bupa, a purpose-driven global health and care company that is the leading international provider of specialist dementia care, caring for around 60,000 people living with dementia each year. Together, we are committed to ensuring that dementia becomes an international health priority. We believe national dementia plans are the first step towards ensuring all countries are equipped to enable people to live well with dementia, and help to reduce the risk of dementia for future generations. There is now a growing list of countries which have such provision in place or which are developing national dementia plans, but it's not enough.Given the epidemic scale of dementia, with no known cure on the horizon, and with a global ageing population, we're calling on governments and every part of society to play an active role in helping to create a world where people can enjoy a better quality of life today, and also help reduce the risk of dementia for future generations. It is our belief that this report will help sustain the momentum of recent global collaboration, mobilising governments, policy makers, health care professionals, researchers, Alzheimer associations, and businesses, to work together on a solution for the global challenge of dementia.Providing a better quality of life for people with dementia can be a reality, but only if governments and societies make it an urgent priority. We're committed to making this happen. Glenn Rees Chairman Alzheimer's Disease International Stuart Fletcher CEO BupaThe Global ImpacT of DemenTIa alzheImer's DIs...
