The annual cost per patient was simulated based on total amount of resources spent for all the patient visits to the facility for HBV or HIV care per year.Results: Findings showed that drugs and laboratory tests were the main drivers of costs in the pathways. Therefore, this report presents estimated provider costs associated with managing an integrated HBV and HIV clinical pathway for patients on life-long treatment in low resource setting in Uganda.Methods: A cost minimisation analysis from the providers perspective was done by considering financial costs as a measure of the amount of money spent on resources used in the clinical pathways. The success of such an integration however would depend on several factors including feasibility, acceptability and costs involved. more Background: In recent years there has been growing interest in exploring methods by which the care pathways for people with comorbid physical and health problems may be integrated. Multivariable logistic regressions were conducted to determine independent factors, at the 3 levels of the SEM, associated with optimal complementary feeding practices.Findings: The prevalence of introduction to solid, semi-solid or soft foods was the hig.īackground: In recent years there has been growing interest in exploring methods by which the car. The data was first proffered in Excel sheets and analysed using SPSS version 20. Multi-stage sampling on the data was done to select entries for 384 caregivers of children aged 6-23 months in Kisoro district. Methodology: A cross-sectional analytical study that used secondary data obtained from the USAID/Uganda’s Integrated Community, Agriculture, and Nutrition (ICAN) Activity. There was a need to ascertain the prevalence of and factors that lend to caregivers meeting requirements for the optimal complementary feeding practices in Kisoro district, a district with high stunting rates. more Background: There is a wide number of risk factors for stunting and one that is most often corroborated by studies is complementary feeding practices. One-way deterministic sensitivity analyses were performed to identify the most influential model parameters.Outcome measureThe outcome measure was incremental cost per additional test diagnosed expressed as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio.ResultsThe total cost per test for Xpert MTB/Rif was US$14.īackground: There is a wide number of risk factors for stunting and one that is most often corrob.
Cost estimation was done using the ingredients’ approach.
more ObjectiveTo determine the cost-effectiveness of Xpert Omni compared with Xpert MTB/Rif for point-of-care diagnosis of tuberculosis among presumptive cases in a low-resource, high burden facility.DesignCost-effectiveness analysis from the provider’s perspective.SettingA low-resource, high tuberculosis burden district in Eastern Uganda.ParticipantsA provider’s perspective was used, and thus, data were collected from experts in the field of tuberculosis diagnosis purposively selected at the local, subnational and national levels.MethodsA decision analysis model was contracted from TreeAge comparing Xpert MTB/Rif and Xpert Omni. ObjectiveTo determine the cost-effectiveness of Xpert Omni compared with Xpert MTB/Rif for point.
