Econometric Views (EViews)01:29

Econometric Views (EViews)

204
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data01:25

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data

474
Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:

Study Designs in Epidemiology01:20

Study Designs in Epidemiology

338
Epidemiological study designs are fundamental tools for investigating the distribution, determinants, and control of health conditions in populations. They help researchers understand the relationships between exposures and outcomes, and they broadly fall into two categories: "observational" and "experimental" studies.
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

156
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Hazard Ratio01:12

Hazard Ratio

204
The hazard ratio (HR) is a widely used measure in clinical trials to compare the risk of events, such as death or disease recurrence, between two groups over time. It reflects the ratio of hazard rates—the instantaneous risk of the event occurring—between a treatment group and a control group. This measure provides valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of a treatment by assessing how the risk of an event differs between the two groups.
For example, in a clinical trial...

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding01:25

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

136
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Economics
  • Systematic Reviews

Background:

  • The number and variety of economic evaluation studies in public health have grown.
  • Methodological challenges in public health economic reviews necessitate updated methods.
  • The Community Guide systematic economic reviews inform decisions on public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe updated methods for Community Guide systematic economic reviews.
  • To enhance transparency and reliability in economic evaluations of public health interventions.
  • To support evidence-based resource allocation for effective public health programs.

Main Methods:

  • A 9-step process for Community Guide economic reviews is detailed.
  • Steps include topic prioritization, team creation, literature search, study screening, data abstraction, results analysis, evidence translation, and dissemination.
  • Updated methods are applied to reviews of pharmacy-based interventions for cardiovascular disease adherence and permanent supportive housing for homelessness.

Main Results:

  • The updated methods were applied to two case studies.
  • A tailored pharmacy-based intervention was found to be cost-effective.
  • Permanent supportive housing with a housing-first approach was found to have a favorable cost-benefit.

Conclusions:

  • Updated Community Guide economic systematic review methods improve transparency and reliability.
  • These methods enhance the utility of economic reviews for community resource allocation decisions.
  • The updated methods support evidence-based decision-making for effective public health programs.
