“…These costs differ from hospital charges in that they reflect costs of resources consumed performing each service. Two major categories of accounting costs, direct and indirect costs, are tabulated for each service, 15 . Direct costs are defined as those closely associated with patient care (nursing salaries, for example).…”

“…Five-year survival rates are now reported to be as high as 70% overall [ 11. In the United States, access to affordable health care services is often contingent upon access to health insurance coverage at a reasonable price. Health insurance may be obtained individually, through employers, or through government programs, such as Medicare or Medicaid [2][3][4]. Historical evidence of access to health insurance coverage by survivors of childhood cancer has been inconsistent [5-91.…”

Historically, there has been evidence to support the hypothesis that survivors of childhood cancer have been discriminated against in the private health insurance market in some areas of the United States. Results of previous studies have been inconsistent and have generally focused on a limited number of outcome variables. A retrospective cohort study of young adult survivors of childhood cancer and their siblings was performed to determine the risk of health insurance access problems of childhood cancer survivors in North Carolina. Mailed questionnaires were completed by 182 cancer survivors from three institutions who were diagnosed between 1976 and 1988, and by 101 of their siblings for a response of 62.1%. Using logistic regression in SAS, cancer survivors were found to be more likely to be denied health insurance than their siblings, with an adjusted odds ratio of 15.1. Childhood cancer survivors also had health insurance policies that excluded care for pre-existing medical conditions more often than their siblings (OR = 5.5). In addition, cancer survivors reported problems obtaining health insurance coverage more frequently than their siblings with an adjusted odds ratio of 22.8. In general, survivors of childhood cancer who were diagnosed in North Carolina have had decreased access to health insurance coverage when compared to their siblings of similar age. North Carolina health insurance regulations permit health insurance firms to discriminate against cancer survivors because of their history of illness, often decreasing their access to needed follow-up care.

“…This study applied the direct distribution method as a method of cost allocation to each cost center. 38,39 In this study, cost and effects are largely immediate, leaving the cost-effectiveness ratio relatively unaffected by the discount rate. Therefore, no attempt was made to adjust cost and effects for time.…”

Abstract. The cost-effectiveness of lambdacyhalothrin-treated nets in comparison with conventional DDT spraying for malaria control among migrant populations was evaluated in a malaria hyperendemic area along the Thai-Myanmar border. Ten hamlets of 243 houses with 948 inhabitants were given only treated nets. Twelve hamlets of 294 houses and 1,315 population were in the DDT area, and another 6 hamlets with 171 houses and 695 inhabitants were in the non-DDT-treated area. The impregnated net program was most cost-effective (US$1.54 per 1 case of prevented malaria). Spraying with DDT was more cost-effective than malaria surveillance alone ($1.87 versus $2.50 per 1 case of prevented malaria). These data suggest that personal protection measures with insecticide-impregnated mosquito net are justified in their use to control malaria in highly malaria-endemic areas in western Thailand.
