This paper aims to systematically review the cost-effectiveness evidence, and to provide a critical appraisal of the methods used in the model-based economic evaluation of CRC screening and subsequent surveillance. A search strategy was developed to capture relevant evidence published...

Background The complexity and cost of treating cancer patients is escalating rapidly and increasingly difficult decisions are being made regarding which interventions provide value for money. BioGrid Australia supports collection and analysis of comprehensive treatment and outcome data across...

A universal strategy to promote physical activity in primary care has the potential to increase life years lived free from physical disease. There is only weak evidence that a universal intervention strategy might prove cost-effective. </AbstractSection> Copyright The Author(s) 2014

This study assesses the intervention against avian influenza in Nigeria. It applied a simple compartmental model to define endemic and burn-out scenarios for the risk of spread of HPAI in Nigeria. It followed with the derivation of low and high mortality risks associated to each scenario. The...

Objectives: Covariate explanation of clinical trial cost and outcome is critical to allow reliable estimates of cost-effectiveness. The ordinary simultaneous equations approach however must specify a bivariate distribution for both cost and health outcome that is not typically a product of the...

The article proposes an image processing-based automatic methodology for early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. In pathology, staining and sectioning of tissues are routinely used as a primary technique to detect cancer. In this methodology, the colorectal gland tissues are segmented by using...
