“…As procedural data on stent‐PTA, data on the use of clinical evidence and data on control variables in this study were not available at individual patient or doctor level, we gathered aggregated time series data and used modelling outlines similar to those used by Bech and colleagues in 2009 to investigate the influence of economic incentives and regulatory factors on the adoption of technologies to treat heart attacks [8]. For Germany, we adapted a model that was used in previous research to analyse the impact of economic change on the use of treatment technology for PAD [9]. Notations and descriptions of variables are presented in Table .…”

We observed no association between published clinical evidence of femoropopliteal stent-angioplasty and its use in any of the four countries. The country-specific context and practice-related variables at a centre and individual doctor level may have limited the role of published clinical evidence in emerging femoropopliteal stent-angioplasty. More research is needed at this context, centre and individual level.

“…12,21 We used the unemployment rate as an indicator for national economic health based on methods used by other similar papers found in our literature review. 5,22,23 The unemployment rate is also used as an indicator for macro-economic health in economic research. The monthly unemployment rate was obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.…”

Background: Economic conditions affect surgical volumes, particularly for elective procedures. In this study, we aimed to identify the effects of the 2008 US economic downturn on hand surgery volumes to guide surgeons and managers when facing future economic crises.Methods: We used the California State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases from January 2005 to December 2011, which includes the entire period of the Great Recession (December 2007 to June 2009). We abstracted the monthly volume of five common hand procedures using ICD-9 and CPT codes. Pearson's statistics were used to identify the correlation between unemployment rate and surgical volume for each procedure. Results:The total number of operative cases was 345,583 during the study period of seven years. Most common elective hand procedures, such as carpal tunnel release and trigger finger release had a negative correlation with the unemployment rate, but the volume of distal radius fracture surgery did not show any correlation. Compared with carpal tunnel release (r = −0.88) or trigger finger release volumes (r = −0.85), thumb arthroplasty/arthrodesis volumes (r = −0.45) showed only a moderate correlation. Conclusions:The economic downturn decreased elective hand procedure surgical volumes. This may be detrimental to small surgical practices that rely on revenue from elective procedures.
