▼ Introduction: There is a high prevalence of drug-related problems (DRPs) in community-dwelling residents which results in increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditure. The Australian government has reimbursed pharmacists to identify and prevent or resolve DRPs through Home Medicines Reviews (HMRs) in these patients since 2001. Funding for the HMR program was based on studies undertaken prior to its implementation that indicated HMRs would be cost-effective due to reductions in drug costs and health service utilisation. Since the introduction of the program, there has been limited Australian research into the economic outcomes of HMRs. Furthermore, the results of international studies have questioned the clinical and cost-effectiveness of pharmacist-led medication reviews. The overall aim of the research described in this thesis was to investigate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of HMRs. To achieve this aim, the following objectives were formulated and addressed: * to investigate novel methods for assessing the clinical and cost-effectiveness of HMRs; * to investigate the characteristics of the DRPs identified in HMRs, including the drugs and conditions involved, and the recommendations made to resolve or prevent DRPs; * to estimate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of HMRs; and * to investigate potential avenues to optimise the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of HMRs. Method: A methodology that used expert opinion to predict the outcomes of HMRs was developed, based on previous research of interventions undertaken in community pharmacies. The development of this methodology necessitated two studies to be undertaken whereby the healthcare system costs and quality of life effects of numerous common clinical conditions resulting from medication use were estimated using a combination of expert opinion and literature values. To evaluate HMRs, an observational cohort study was conducted across all states in Australia. Pharmacists accredited to perform HMRs submitted a random sample of HMRs that they had undertaken in 2008. Information from the HMR referral, report and outcomes of the HMR were classified according to standardised systems and entered into an electronic database for analysis. A panel of experts reviewed a sample of the HMRs and estimated the clinical outcomes of the recommendations made in the HMRs. A cost-consequence and cost-utility analysis was performed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of HMRs from an Australian government perspective. A sub-study was undertaken that investigated the relationship between cost-effective HMRs and factors that prior research suggested may influence the cost-effectiveness of HMRs. Results: A “consequences table” was developed whereby estimates of healthcare system costs and quality of life effects of 51 common clinical consequences were evaluated at three levels of severity. The estimates of these parameters appeared to be plausible and reasonable, and demonstrated moderate to high validity and reliability where testing…

▼ Background: Increased costs and demand for accessibility to mental health services accompanied by a decline in resources has forced mental health service providers and government to innovate and develop a variety of new programs and service delivery strategies. As a result, a substantial number of organizations in Ontario have adopted the walk-in/single session therapy model. Further, many more family services agencies are planning to open a walk-in counselling center. Although, there have been some studies on clinical effectiveness, only one previous study has examined the cost-effectiveness exclusively focusing on single-session therapy/walk-in counselling service and that study suffered from a small sample size and the lack of a control group. Therefore, a rigorous research that examines the economic effectiveness is of paramount need. With a large sample size and a control group, this study aims to close the existing gap in the economic evaluation of single-session therapy/walk-in counselling. Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness analysis of a single-session walk-in counselling model of service delivery compared to the traditional counselling model. Methods: Cost effective analysis was undertaken with effectiveness measured by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) score. Cost was measured using data on direct medical costs: physician cost, hospital cost, emergency visit cost, counselling cost, and other social service cost, and indirect costs: the cost of lost work days and the cost of lost usual activities. To make the results comparable to other interventions, the GHQ-12 score was converted to QALYs using Serrano-Aguilar et al.’s (2009) algorithm. Incremental Cost-effectiveness Ratio (ICER) was calculated comparing walk-in counselling to being on the waitlist for traditional counselling. A probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) was performed to account for uncertainties of parameters. In-depth analysis was done using Mixed effect modeling (also called multilevel models) to analyze the data from both individual level and group/context level and also to study growth or change trajectories (of the outcome measure) over a period of time, in order to measure the effectiveness. Perspective: The societal perspective was used for our analysis with a time period of 10 weeks. Data sources: The data from a CIHR-funded project was used. The data were collected from two family service agencies in Ontario, Canada; Kitchener-Waterloo Counselling Services (KWCS) and Family Service Thames Valley (FSTV) at three different time points: baseline, 4 weeks and 10 weeks over a period of 6 months. Results: During the ten weeks of the study, the total mean incremental costs were (1,499.55-1,865.10) =-365.55, indicating that walk-in counselling was less costly than the traditional counselling. The overall incremental outcome between intervention group and control group in QALYs after 10 weeks was, on average, (0.0215-0.0176) =0.0039. Combining the incremental costs and outcome differences across intervention…

▼ The research in this dissertation addresses the question of costs and benefits of two policy options for cannabis in the context of New South Wales, Australia. The first policy is the current one, where cannabis is illegal, although a cannabis cautioning program is available for the use or possession of a small amount of cannabis. In the second policy option, cannabis is a legal but a highly regulated good. As no legalised-regulated policy currently exists, as part of this research the policy framework was developed with the objective of minimising the harms associated with the use of cannabis and with the policy itself. The societal value and preferences for the policies were evaluated in two ways. First, through the use of a traditional cost benefit analysis (CBA) and secondly, with a discrete choice experiment (DCE). The CBA estimated important costs and benefits in monetary terms for each policy with the results presented as a net social benefit. The DCE assessed the preferences for different policies for cannabis among a representative sample of the population. Potential trade-offs between key outcomes including the prevalence of consumption, expenditures by the criminal justice system and health care systems related to cannabis were explored.The results from the CBA indicate there is no clear difference in the net social benefit between the two policy options, although there is a potential revenue gain for government in the legalised-regulated option. The results from the DCE reveal that compared to the current policy there is a moderate preference for legalisation of cannabis among a community sample and strong preference against the complete criminalisation of cannabis. The results also demonstrate the trade-offs between different harms and benefits as well as the interactions between personal characteristics and the policy preferences. The findings from this analysis of the costs and benefits of two cannabis policy options will start to redress some of the evidence gaps that arise when making public policy in this area.

▼ Introduction The concept of this thesis was driven by stagnation within the Irish healthcare system. Multiple reports from pharmacy organisations had outlined possible future directions for the profession but progress was minimal, especially in comparison with other countries. The author’s directive was to evaluate the economic impact of a series of clinical pharmacy services (CPS) in hospital and community settings. Methods A systematic review of economic evaluations of clinical pharmacy services in hospital patients was undertaken to gain insight into recent research in the field. Eligible studies were evaluated using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS), to establish the quality, consistency and transparency of relevant research. A retrospective analysis of an internal hospital pharmacy interventions database was conducted. A method first described by Nesbit et al. was implemented to estimate the level of cost avoidance achieved. A cost-effectiveness analysis based on data from a randomised controlled trial of a pharmacist-supervised patient self-testing (PST) of warfarin therapy is presented. Outcome measure was the incremental cost associated with six months of intervention management. A similar cost-effectiveness analysis based on previously published RCT data was used to evaluate a novel structured pharmacist review of medication in older hospitalised patients. Cost-effectiveness analysis was presented in the form of an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). An ICER is an additional cost per unit effect, in the case of this study, the cost of preventing an additional non-trivial ADR in hospital. A method described by Preaud et al. was adapted to estimate the clinical and economic benefit gained from vaccination of patients by a community pharmacist in Ireland in 2013/14. Sample demographic data was obtained from a national chain of community pharmacies and applied to overall national vaccination data. Results Systematic review identified twenty studies which were eligible for inclusion. Overall, pharmacist interventions had a positive impact on hospital budgets. Only three studies (15%) were deemed to be “good-quality” studies. No ‘novel’ clinical pharmacist intervention was identified during the course of this review. Analysis of internal hospital database identified 4,257 interventions documented on 2,147 individual patients over a 12 month period. Substantial cost avoidance of €710,000 was generated over a 1 year period from the perspective of the health care provider. Mean cost avoidance of €166 per intervention was generated. The cost of providing these interventions was €82,000. Substantial net cost-benefits of €626,279 and a cost-benefit ratio of 8.64 : 1 were generated based on this evaluation of pharmacist interventions. Results from an evaluation of a novel pharmacist-led form of warfarin management indicated indicated that on a per patient basis, PST was slightly more expensive than established anticoagulant management. On a per patient basis over a six… Advisors/Committee Members: Byrne, Stephen, Mccarthy, Suzanne, Woods, Noel, Eustace, Joe, HRB.

▼ Background and aim The workplace has been identified as an ideal setting in which to promote healthy dietary behaviours. However, uncertainty surrounds both the effectiveness and costeffectiveness of workplace dietary interventions and a dearth of evidence exists with regards to evaluating the implementation process of such interventions. The core aim of this thesis was to conduct both a process evaluation and an economic evaluation of the Food Choice at Work (FCW) complex workplace dietary intervention. Methods The FCW study was a pragmatic trial which measured the effectiveness of a complex workplace dietary intervention in ideal settings. Firstly, a cross-sectional analysis which employed a zero-inflated negative binomial (zinb) regression model to examine associations between objective health status outcomes, lifestyle characteristics and absenteeism was conducted. Secondly, a detailed process evaluation addressed the implementation of the complex workplace intervention. Interviews were conducted at baseline (27 interviews) and at 7-9 months follow-up (27 interviews) with a purposive sample of workplace stakeholders (managers, caterers and employees). Data were analysed using a thematic framework. Thirdly, micro-costing methods were employed to estimate the cost of implementing and delivering the complex workplace dietary intervention from an employer’s perspective. Finally, an economic evaluation of the complex workplace intervention was conducted. This consisted of 1) a baseline costutility analysis (CUA) which measured the cost-effectiveness of the interventions in terms of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), 2) sensitivity analyses to test the robustness of the QALYs which involved performing cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) using clinical measures to measure health outcomes and 3) a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) where the monetary value of absenteeism was employed so as to report the net benefit of the interventions relative to the control. Results Central obesity was positively associated with absenteeism and increased the expected rate of absence by 72% (mean number of absences was 2.5 days). Consuming a highquality diet and engaging in moderate levels of physical activity were negatively associated with absenteeism and reduced the expected frequency by 50% and 36% respectively. The process evaluation revealed that managers’ desire to improve company image, stakeholder buy-in, organisational support and stakeholder cohesiveness facilitated the implementation of the interventions. Anticipation of employee resistance towards menu changes, workplace restructuring and target-driven workplace cultures were found to impede intervention implementation. With regards to the cost-analysis, 3 main cost categories were identified 1) set-up costs 2) maintenance costs and 3) physical assessment costs. The combined intervention xvi reported the highest total costs (€47,305), followed by nutrition education (€44,726), environmental modification (€24,474) and the control (€21,412). In the economic evaluation, the baseline… Advisors/Committee Members: Perry, Ivan J., Kirby, Ann, Murphy, Aileen, Geaney, Fiona, HRB.

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le débat scientifique actuel autour de l’évaluation économique des services écosystémiques fournis par les aires marines protégées (AMP) dans les pays en voie de développement. Appliquant la méthode de l’évaluation contingente, elle s’est intéressée à l’analyse de la perception de la population mauritanienne des services écosystémiques fournis par l’aire marine protégée du parc national du banc d’arguin (PNBA) en Mauritanie et la valeur qu’elle consente à payer pour maintenir l’offre de ces services dans son état actuel. A travers l’analyse des résultats de trois enquêtes réalisées au PNBA (niveau local), à Nouakchott (zone adjacente) et à Tidjikja (arrière-pays), la thèse discute l’impact de la distance, dans le sens de l’éloignement et du temps nécessaire pour accéder à l’AMP, tant sur la perception des services écosystémiques fournis par le PNBA que sur le consentement à payer pour sa conservation. Par ailleurs, elle aborde l’applicabilité de la méthode de l’évaluation contingente dans les pays en voie de développement et propose quelques améliorations du protocole de l’enquête pour améliorer la fiabilité des résultats.

This thesis is part of the current scientific debate around the economic evaluation of ecosystem services provided by marine protected areas in developing countries. Using the contingent valuation method, it focused on the analysis of the Mauritanian population's perception of ecosystem services provided by the marine protected area of Banc d'Arguin National Park in Mauritania and the value that this population agrees to pay to maintain the supply of these services in its current state. Through the analysis of the results of three surveys conducted at the PNBA (local level), Nouakchott (adjacent zone) and Tidjikja (inland), the thesis discusses the impact of distance, in the sense of the remoteness and the time required to access the MPA, both on the perception of the ecosystem services provided by the PNBA and on the Willingness To Pay for its conservation.In addition, it discusses the applicability of the contingent valuation method in developing countries and proposes some improvements to the survey protocol to enhance the reliability of the results.

▼ Amongst other socio-economic challenges that South Africa has, unemployment still remains high; in July 2010 unemployment was at 25.3 percentage and in July 2011 it was at 25.7 percentage ; in a space of a year it grew by 0.4 percentage (Trading Economics, 2012). Even though South Africa has made some significant progress with its democracy; there is still significant socioeconomic problems. Poverty, lack of economic empowerment among the disadvantaged groups are amongst and lack of proper education are amongst some of these pressing challenges in South Africa. More than a quarter of South Africa's population currently receives social grants (Index mundi, 2011). The Eastern Cape Province is still faced with significant socio-economic challenges such as high unemployment rate. 74 percentage unemployed are the economically active group as they are under the age of 35 (ECDC, 2011:22). “More than a quarter (26.4 percentage) of households in the Eastern Cape relies on government grants as their main source of income. Nationally, the youth unemployment rate is estimated to be close to 35 percentage, with more than three million young people out of work. Youth unemployment in the Eastern Cape averages 41.4 percentage. This is more than twice the adult unemployment rate (18.4 percent). A total of 695,175 young people have been without work every year in the Eastern” (ECDC, 2010-2011: 23). Besides, this province has a third largest number of people who are living with HIV/AIDS in the country. These statistics have a major significance on the province’s economic prospects and progress (ECDC, 2010-2011:22). The RSA Constitution 1996, the White Paper on Local Government 1998 has mandated local governments to facilitate LED. South Africa adopted LED as a way of fighting poverty and stimulating economic growth and development for local residents. LED is promoting skills development, SMMEs and tourism to encourage economic development. However the success of LED has received mixed views in that; some successes of LED were recorded in urban or metropolitan municipalities. Few successes have been recorded of LED projects in rural municipalities. Some of the constraints of LED consist of capacity problems within the municipalities, understanding the role of LED in the municipality and lack of funding. In Makana Municipality, about 23 percentage of households live below poverty line of (R800.00 – R9600 a year). Most of the population earns between R801.00-R1600.00 per month with 24.7 percentage. A mere 0.6 percentage earn R204801.00 or more compared to 12.7 percentage with no income. Inadequate infrastructure poses as a threat to attracting and retaining investment in this municipality. In light of the above paragraphs, this thesis evaluated the impact assessment of the LED projects within Makana Municipality. The premise of this thesis is that realization and significant support of LED projects would impact positively on unemployment and poverty rate that this municipality is facing and subsequently; the burden of unemployment and…

▼ The aim of this thesis is to explore methods to incorporate external effects on decision making of public health programmes in a UK setting, using smoking cessation as an example. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) methodological guidance for evaluating public health programmes is missing the incorporation of external effects. Therefore there is a need for considering their incorporation in such evaluations and to assess what are the appropiate methods to do so. Smoking cessation is an example where epidemiological evidence of external effects exists but has not generally been incorporated into economic evaluation. This thesis therefore focused in measuring the impact, in terms of costs and QALYs lost, of the incorporation of passive smoking, smoking during pregnancy and transmission of smoking behavior into economic evaluation of smoking cessation programmes previously developed to inform policy. A static Markov model is used to incorporate passive smoking and smoking during pregnancy, whereas transmisison of smoking behaviour is incorporated through a dynamic model. The findings show that some external effects can be incorporated without a system dynamic model, when this does occur, a static Markov model may be used to account for external effects in economic evaluation. Sometimes, to incorporate external effects, the model needs a change of population. Because smoking cessation interventions are generally highly cost-effective, the incorporation of external effects does not appear to change policy decisions, but there is a clear impact on the magnitude of the ICER. Passive smoking and smoking during pregnancy have higher impact in terms of costs and QALYs lost than transmission of smoking behaviour. Our discussion considers the validity of the methods used; how much the decision making process would be affected considering or not external effects on economic evaluation of smoking cessation interventions; and other valuation approaches for external effects, such as contingent valuation.

▼ Diagnostic accuracy studies alone are not sufficient; the test's impact on patient outcome ought to be performed. Before introducing a test in clinical practice, its societal impact should be assessed as well.The cost-effectiveness of diagnostic tests is often assessed by means of economic models. Modelling is particularly well suited for diagnostic tests because of the complexity and the uncertainty of many clinical decisions. Its major strength lies on an explicit and systematic approach to decision making. But the results of such an analysis are also largely dependent on the assumptions underlying the model and on the inclusion of all relevant costs and outcomes. This search for valid input parameters has been pursued in the current thesis. Implicit in economic analysis is the concept of assigning some monetary cost to the considered intervention. Accurate data on resource cost of 18F-FDG-PET are often scarce and contradictory. One possible way to calculate reliable cost data is Activity-Based Costing (ABC), a cost calculation method that allocates resource costs to products based on activity consumption. ABC goes beyond being just a more accurate accounting system. This approach can be used for operational decision making to improve the departmental workflow as well as to understand the financial impact of changes in consumption patterns or of the acquisition of new equipment (cost management), like acquiring a new hybrid scanner or establishing a PET-CT facility. In the first chapter of the thesis, we will conduct two comprehensive descriptive cost analyses based on the ABC methodology of an 18F-FDG-PET study and of the commercial production of 18F-FDG patient dose. The determination of accurate costs estimates will better identify the critical cost components and evaluate the impact in changes in cost patterns. The quality of a pharmaco-economic evaluation crucially depends on the value of the data based on the best available up-to-date evidence on the intervention and its comparator. As in other branches of science and medical care, the majority of PET review articles are narrative rather than systematic. The key difference between them is, for the latter, the explicit and systematic searching methodology and the critical appraisal of the studies. One of the goals of the thesis is to illustrate the advantage of a systematic review. We therefore designed, in the second chapter, a systematic review of 18F-FDG-PET in the staging Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma work-up. Patients with metastatic melanoma have traditionally been managed with various systemic treatments; however, overall survival with this approach has been disappointing. Conventional teaching has been that resection was not indicated when the cancer is disseminated. Several series have however reported long-term survival after resection of distant metastases. In the absence of more active agents, surgery should be therefore reconsidered in the treatment paradigm at least for some highly selected patients. Recently, Petersen et al published a large… Advisors/Committee Members: UCL - (MGD) Service de médecine nucléaire, Vander Borght, Thierry, Crott, Ralph, Gregoire, Vincent, Lonneux, Max, Dierckx, Rudi, Severens, Hans, Dervaux, Benoit.

▼ The Twickenham Platinum Mine (TPM) Project is located in the north eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex, north west of Steelpoort in the Limpopo Province. The property hosts platinum group metals (PGM) mineralisation in the Merensky Reef (MR) and Upper Group 2 Chromitite (UG2). The two reefs are separated by 400 m of mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Rustenburg Layered Suite. The question that must be answered with this study relates to the economic viability of the MR compared to that of the UG2 at the TPM Project, as it stands in 2011. The assumption is that no mining has commenced on this project and that there is an equal opportunity to commence mining on one of the reefs. The study describes the ore body characteristic for each reef, focussing on the lithologies, structure, and resources available. The discounted cash flow (DCF) method was used to determine the economic value of each reef. The net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) were calculated and used to compare the ore bodies. The input parameters to the DCF are the main limiting factors to this method, as the results are heavily dependent on the assumptions made. The input parameters used were based on actual published values and generally accepted and motivated assumptions. A sensitivity and risk analysis was completed to identify value ranges and potential risks to the projects. The outcome of the analysis has been compared to other projects as a benchmark to ensure the project assumptions were realistic. The world markets supply and demand for PGM is intricately related to exchange rates, metal prices, inflation, and investment risk. These have an influence on the strategic planning for a company as well as investment decisions through various project evaluation methods. South Africa has a long history of mining and metals extraction. Extensive mining legislation has been developed to ensure the country’s mineral wealth is protected and the health and safety of employees are high priority. Specific challenges related L! to mining on the Eastern Limb are discussed in order to justify the high risk assigned to the project for this evaluation. The DCF was calculated and the outcome indicated that neither the MR nor the UG2 is economically viable using these parameters in the 2011 economy. The MR evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -1,664,541,443.47) and an IRR of 9 %, which is well below the required discount rate of 12 %. The initial project capital will be repaid after 19 years of the 33 year life of mine. The sensitivity analysis showed that by reducing the initial capital by 30 %, the project produces a positive NPV. The other factor that produced a positive NPV was by reducing the operating cost by 50 %. This project will have to be re-evaluated after all parameters have been tested and some re-engineering has been done to optimise the extraction of the MR ore body. The UG2 evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -109,614,208.27) and an IRR of 12 %, equal to the required discount rate. The… Advisors/Committee Members: Roberts, R.J. (James) (advisor).

▼ Background: Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death from cancer among women in low- resource settings, affecting women at a time of life when they are critical to social and economic stability. In addition to its magnitude, the economic and quality-of-life burden of cervical cancer is significant. Objectives: To estimate economic burden of cervical cancer among patients and their family members and to determine predictors for variation in patient related cost of cervical cancer. Methods: Cost of illness study on 227 cervical cancer cases at Tikur Anbessa Hospital was conducted. Consecutive sampling technique was used to select the study participants. We employed a micro-costing bottom-up approach in order to estimate direct cost of cervical cancer. Indirect costs for the study subjects and their accompanying persons were calculated in terms of productivity time losses, using human capital approach. Societal perspective, prevalence-based model was used. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, median and inter-quartile range were calculated to describe some parts of the results. Nonparametric testing; Kruskal Wallis was used to determine the statistical significance of the differences in mean values for the four stage of cervical cancer and other variables. Mann-Whitney test was used to determine the statistically significance differences in mean values for the two groups (surgery, radiotherapy chemotherapy, ever admitted etc.). Multiple liner regression analysis was employed to analyze the separate effects of the various predictor variables on the cost of treatment. Results: The average outpatient cost per patient for cervical cancer was Birr 5,905 (407.2) (median = 3,000 (206.9)). Mean direct outpatient cost (Birr 4,845.3 (334.2) takes the largest share compared with the indirect counterpart (Birr 2,173.7 (150)). The outpatient cost for almost half of the respondent fails in a range between Birr 6,933 (478) and Birr 1,359 (93.7). Mean inpatient cost for hospitalized patients was Birr 5,863.2 (404.4). The average direct inpatient cost was Birr 4,771 (329) (74% medical costs and 26% non medical costs). The mean value for total inpatient cost for nearly half of the respondent were in a range of Birr 7,161(493.9) and 1,936 (133.5). For every single day increment in inpatient hospital stay there is equivalent increment of Birr 61.5 (4.2) on total inpatient patient side cost. Conclusion: Cervical cancer creates an immense economic burden on patients and their families. Outpatient treatment cost was found to be dependent on patient residence distance from the hospital, number of employed household members, number of facility visited and occupation. Longer duration of inpatient hospital stay and existence of co-morbidity were associated with higher inpatient cost. Advisors/Committee Members: Prof. Damen Haile Mariam (MD, MPH, PhD) (advisor).

▼ Telemedicine offers an alternative referral strategy for fetal cardiology but is currently only used for ‘high-risk’ pregnancies. A case-study of a cost-consequences analysis comparing telemedicine to direct referral to a perinatal cardiologist is initially presented, which highlights that for high risk women for whom telemedicine was considered no cardiac anomalies were missed using either referral method. In the light of a review of the literature on the economics of telemedicine, three of the key methodological issues (of selection bias, of patient costs and using quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)) are explored to demonstrate how the case study analysis could be improved. Pregnant women were selected for referral based on their characteristics and risk factors; thus the cost and effects for the two groups may have been biased. Various methods identified in the literature are applied to the case study to reduce selection bias, but the analysis presented is unable to determine which method is best, given a number of limitations including the small sample size. The analysis is extended to include estimated total patient costs. However, when patient costs are added to the total costs of pregnancy, they did not substantially increase the overall cost. The results presented provide a guideline for future researchers and pregnant women of the likely costs during pregnancy. Given that the majority of missed cardiac anomalies were amongst low risk women, a decision analytical model is developed looking at the lifetime costs and QALYs of introducing telemedicine screening for pregnant women whose unborn babies are at a low risk of congenital heart disease. The analysis shows that offering telemedicine to all low risk women is the dominant strategy. The thesis demonstrates, within the constraints of existing data, that it would be cost-effective to provide telemedicine as part of an antenatal screening programme for all low risk women, and this would help prevent future ‘missed anomalies’.

▼ Abstract Background Presenteeism is an economic concept that is difficult to identify, measure, and value. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are three chronic auto-immune conditions that increase levels of presenteeism. Workplace interventions (WPIs) help individuals to manage their health condition at work. Existing methods used to quantify the impact of presenteeism are unable to adequately inform the employer of the productive benefits of WPIs. The overall aim of this thesis was to appraise current methods used to quantify presenteeism and to develop methods to value the impact of presenteeism suitable for use in economic evaluations (EE) of WPIs. Methods Two systematic reviews were conducted: 1) to assess the extent to which self-report measure of presenteeism were underpinned by economic theory; and 2) to explore if, and how, productivity was quantified and included in EE of WPIs for musculoskeletal conditions (MSDs). Thematic analysis methods were used to analyse qualitative data collected from working individuals with RA, AS or PsA (n=22) that explored the extent to which measures of health status (EQ5D; SF6D) and capability (ICECAP-A) capture the impact on ability to work caused by RA, AS or PsA. Econometric methods were used to specify prediction models that included measures of health status, capability and presenteeism, using a sample of 542 working people with RA and AS. Results The first systematic review identified 24 self-report measures of presenteeism; all, except one measure were not underpinned by economic theory. The second systematic review identified 20 EE of WPIs for MSDs. Absenteeism was included in all studies (n=20); however, presenteeism was included in only four. The qualitative data confirmed measures of health status and capability had the ability to capture those aspects of RA, AS and PsA that impact an individualâ€™s ability to work. The best performing prediction model used an OLS specification including SF6D, age and gender to predict presenteeism measured by the WPAI. Conclusion The results suggest that HRQoL measures, specifically the SF6D, can be used to capture and predict levels of presenteeism caused by RA, AS and PsA.

▼ This is a dissertation about the organisational structure of the World Bank, the professional practice of evaluation, and the meaning of the concept of aid effectiveness in practice. In international development, evaluation is a professional activity that determines and then reports on the impacts of aid projects and programmes to the clients of such efforts and to the public. 'Aid effectiveness' is a concept that refers to a standard of how aid projects and organisations should operate and the results, such as economic growth and poverty alleviation, which these efforts should deliver in order to work. The concept of 'aid effectiveness' has also been used in the debate about international development as a system and its reform. Given that aid policymakers and academic researchers often use the data contained in development organisations evaluations to determine the extent to which aid projects and programmes are 'effective', it is critical to analyse what these evaluations measure and what influences their ratings and judgments. Based on a case study of the World Bank, the analysis is primarily qualitative and draws on both interviews with evaluation professionals in the World Bank and content analyses of the logical framework, indicators, and language in the World Bank's evaluations at the project- and country-level. Building on the previous theoretical work in post-structuralism that considers how international development organisations 'produce' their work through certain terms and processes (Escobar, 1995; Crush, 1995), I assess how the professional practice of evaluation in the Bank 'produces' the results of aid at the project- and country-level, specifically in the evaluation reports that it makes publically available. The World Banks data and evaluation reports are a window through which to understand the impact of aid, and several factors that influence this 'window' are assessed, including the institutional role of evaluation, the professional practice of evaluation, and the required evaluation processes within the World Bank. The study has important implications for practitioners of international development, academic researchers, and evaluation professionals who endeavour to improve the aid system and often rely on the results of the World Bank's evaluations to inform their understanding of the impact of particular development efforts. By reshaping the discussion from one which considers if aid 'works' to one about the data and the process of making a judgment about the success of aid projects and programmes, I articulate what the role of evaluation is in practice and what the World Bank's resulting evaluative data do and do not reflect about the World Bank's work. The relationship between the 'scales' of aid is also analysed by comparing and contrasting the evaluation processes at the project-level and the country-level. I challenge the notion of a 'micro-macro paradox' (Mosley, 1986) between the successful results of the World Banks projects and the economic development in its client countries by…

▼ Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare X-linked recessive, incurable and invariably fatal disease that affects approximately one in every 3300 live male births. It is the result of the failure of the body to produce a protein called dystrophin that stabilises and protects the plasma membranes of muscle cells from the mechanical stresses induced by muscle fibre contraction. In the absence of this protein muscle contraction disrupts the cell membranes, triggering a process that results in cell death and a reduction in muscle strength and function. There is a rapid decline in respiratory muscle strength approximately 1 year after the loss of independent ambulation. The first manifestations of this are seen during sleep, which is disrupted by periods of abnormal breathing (sleep disordered breathing). As respiratory function worsens this disruption increases in frequency and severity and unless some form of long-term mechanical ventilation (LTMV) is used to support respiratory function, it inevitably results in respiratory failure and death in the early 20s. The aim of the thesis was to produce an estimate of the Cost-effectiveness (CEA) and Cost-utility (CUA) of two alternative timings for the initiation of LTMV in three identical cohorts of 100 hypothetical individuals with DMD. The alternative timings were: (i) from the onset of the sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, without hypercapnia (Intervention 1) and; (ii) from the onset of SDB in REM sleep, with hypercapnia (Intervention 2). The comparator was the current practice initiation of LTMV from the onset of diurnal hypercapnia. In the base-case analysis of the CEA (all costs and outcomes discounted by 3%) Intervention 1 and 2 were dominated by the comparator. The probability (for a maximum acceptable ratio of 100,000 a lifeyear) that the comparator would be cost-effective was approximately 0.50 to 0.74; for Intervention 2 it was approximately 0.28 to 0.33 and; for Intervention 1 it was 0.04 to 0.18. In the base-case of the CUA (all costs and outcomes discounted by 3%) there were no strategies that were clearly dominated by any other. The probability (for a maximum acceptable ratio of $ 100,000 a QALY), that the comparator would be cost-effective was approximately 0.35 to 0.52; for Intervention 2 it was approximately 0.29 to 0.33 and; for Intervention 1 it was approximately 0.17 to 0.42. The limited evidence for the effectiveness of the intervention, the inability of the small scale study to recruit and retain a statistically significant sample and the use of a researcher developed model of LTMV service delivery, mean that the results of the economic evaluation cannot be seen to be anything other than exploratory in nature.

Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of an influenza immunization strategy directed at healthy children 36 months to 15 years on the herd immunity of entire communities, versus not implementing this strategy. Design: An economic evaluation, cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). Costs and effects were estimated jointly with a two-stage bootstrap with shrinkage correction. Uncertainties around input parameters were tested with one-way and multi-way sensitivity analysis. Data Sources: Effect and resource consumption data were from the Hutterite Influenza Prevention Study. Unit costs were collected from multiple sources including, government reports and schedules, local suppliers, peer-reviewed articles and systematic reviews, Internet searches and study data on file. Outcomes: Mean costs and effects, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), net monetary benefit (NMB) statistic and cost effectiveness acceptability curves (CEAC). Results: The average cost per patient in the treatment arm was 69.08 and 32.66 in the control arm. The average number of influenza-free cases was of 0.96 in the treatment arm and 0.73 in the control arm. ICER was 164.19 per case of influenza averted, 95% confidence interval 28.38, 2,767.75. CEAC showed that at a willingness to pay of 177, the probability of the treatment strategy being cost effective compared to the control was 0.50. Results from sensitivity analyses were slightly different compared to base case results, supporting the robustness of base case estimates. Conclusion: This strategy is likely to be cost effective relative to the comparator as the ICER estimate is low and because the estimate is conservative given that the study population was very healthy and the influenza season was mild. A more virulent season and a less healthy population would have produced a lower ICER or seen the treatment arm dominate the control.

▼ In Myanmar, Plasmodium falciparum malaria is important because of both the burden of disease and the emergence of parasites resistant to artemisinin-based therapies. In 2012, concomitant with the lifting of international economic sanctions, funding for malaria control and elimination in Myanmar rose significantly. The University of Oxford was asked to support priority setting by assessing the relative cost-effectiveness of insecticide- treated bed nets and community health workers, particularly with respect to planning in the Myanmar Artemisinin Resistance Containment region along the east of the country. In the context of rising artemisinin resistance and, later, the goal of regional malaria elimination by 2030, reduction in malaria transmission was an important consideration in prioritising between interventions. A cost-effectiveness analysis was undertaken using both a static decision tree model and a dynamic disease transmission model. Supporting work towards this analysis included a systematic review of dynamic-transmission economic-evaluations and the creation of a data repository to collate governmental and non-governmental malaria case records. In addition, initially unplanned work on economic evaluation methodology was completed; identifying challenges in the application of cost utility analysis to this decision problem and proposing a framework for budget-based geographic resource allocation as an adaptation of standard methods. The results of this work include a tripling of the number of malaria diagnostic reports available between 2012 and 2014 (71% increase in Plasmodium falciparum cases) with this data showing a decrease in Plasmodium falciparum cases over time, alongside rising testing rates. Cost utility analysis found that, in general, malaria community health workers are more costly yet more effective than insecticide treated bed nets, though in both cases cost effectiveness is very much context dependent. Geographic allocation analyses using both static and dynamic models illustrate the potential for economic evaluation to provide both more detailed and more practical policy recommendations. Parameter uncertainty was explored in both cases. Some township recommendations were robust to both parameter uncertainty and model variation (structural uncertainty). Viewed through the lens of the Reference Case for Economic Evaluation in Low and Middle Income Countries (published during the course of this DPhil), budget-based geographic resource allocation largely adheres to the healthcare economic evaluation principles and offers improvements to dealing with heterogeneity and resource constraints. This DPhil recommends that Myanmar malaria policy is tailored to reflect geographic variation in intervention cost-effectiveness, rather than focusing on universal coverage, and illustrates a framework for economic evaluation to support budget-based geographic allocation.
