Abstract

Pressure ulcers (PUs) impose a significant economic burden on healthcare sys tems, affecting patient quality of life and leading to substantial treatment costs. This study presents a cost-of-illness analysis of PU treatment in hospitalized patients in the Czech Republic, based on real-world clinical data. The analysis was conducted using a comprehensive methodology at a Czech university hos pital, involving 304 hospitalizations. The study included all hospitalized patients with PUs. Data were collected employing a bottom-up, person-based approach, which refers to the collection and analysis of cost data at the individ ual patient level. This method captures detailed resource utilization for each patient. The methodology accounted for both systemic and local costs, includ ing materials, medications, caregiver time, and procedures. The study involved 304 hospitalizations, with a mean length of stay of 13 days. The total cost of PU treatment, excluding pharmacotherapy, had a median of €678, while including pharmacotherapy, the median cost rose to €929. Younger patients incurred higher treatment costs. Significant cost variations were observed among different departments. We developed and applied a novel cost model to quantify the expenses associated with PUs, which accurately highlighted the financial burden in the hospital care setting. We present a rigorous methodol ogy for PU cost-of-illness analysis, providing a valuable tool for future research and clinical practice. This comprehensive approach supports the development of targeted interventions to reduce the incidence and severity of PUs, ulti mately improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs.

Key Messages

Accurate cost-of-illness analysis of pressure ulcer treatment is crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

This study developed a methodology to calculate PU treatment costs, using data from 304 hospitalizations at a Czech university hospital.

The median PU treatment cost was €678 (excluding pharmacotherapy) and €929 (including pharmacotherapy), with significant cost variations across

The cost model provides a tool for targeting interventions in pressure ulcers' management to reduce financial burden and enhance patient care.

Abstract

Background Foot ulcers in people with diabetes are a serious complication requiring a complex management and have a high societal impact. Quality monitoring systems to optimize diabetic foot care exist, but a formal and more evidence-based approach to develop quality indicators (QIs) is lacking. We aimed to identify a set of candi‑ date indicators for diabetic foot care by adopting an evidence-based methodology.

Methods A systematic search was conducted across four academic databases: PubMed, Embase CINAHL and Cochrane Library. Studies that reported evidence-based interventions related to organization or delivery of dia‑ betic foot care were searched. Data from the eligible studies were summarized and used to formulate process and structure indicators. The evidence for each candidate QI was described in a methodical and transparent manner. The review process was reported according to the “Preferred Reported Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analy‑ sis” (PRISMA) statements and its extension for scoping reviews.

Results In total, 981 full-text articles were screened, and 322 clinical studies were used to formulate 42 candidate QIs.

Conclusions An evidence-based approach could be used to select candidate indicators for diabetic foot ulcer care, relating to the following domains: wound healing interventions, peripheral artery disease, offloading, secondary pre‑ vention, and interventions related to organization of care. In a further step, the feasibility of the identified set of indica‑ tors will be assessed by a multidisciplinary panel of diabetic foot care stakeholders.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The effects of sex and apolipoprotein E (APOE)—Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk factors—on white matter microstructure are not well characterized.

METHODS: Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging data from nine well-established longitudinal cohorts of aging were free water (FW)–corrected and harmonized. This dataset included 4741 participants (age = 73.06 ± 9.75) with 9671 imaging sessions over time. FW and FW-corrected fractional anisotropy (FAFWcorr) were used to assess differences in white matter microstructure by sex and APOE ε4 carrier status.

RESULTS: Sex differences in FAFWcorr in projection tracts and APOE ε4 differences in FW limbic and occipital transcallosal tracts were most pronounced.

DISCUSSION: There are prominent differences in white matter microstructure by sex and APOE ε4 carrier status. This work adds to our understanding of disparities in AD. Additional work to understand the etiology of these differences is warranted.

KEYWORDS

aging, Alzheimer’s disease, sex differences, white matter disease

Highlights

∙ Sex and apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carrier status relate to white matter microstruc tural integrity.

∙ Females generally have lower free water–corrected fractional anisotropy compared to males.

∙ APOE ε4 carriers tended to have higher free water than non-carriers.
