    Abstract As high-cost medicines put increasing pressure on public health care budgets, the need to identify 'fair' prices for medicines has never been greater. This paper proposes a framework, built upon fundamental economic principles, that allows for the consideration of 'fair' prices for medicines. The framework incorporates key considerations from conventional supply-side and demand-side approaches for specifying a cost-effectiveness 'threshold', including the health opportunity cost borne by other patients ([Formula: see text]) and society's willingness to pay for marginal improvements in population health ([Formula: see text]). The costs incurred by manufacturers in developing and supplying new medicines are also considered, as are the incentives for manufacturers to strategically price up to any common price per unit of benefit (cost-effectiveness 'threshold') specified by the payer. The framework finds that, at any 'fair' price, a medicine's dynamically calculated incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) lies below [Formula: see text]. When pricing medicines collectively, the framework finds that a common price below [Formula: see text] is required to maximize population health (consumer surplus) or to maximize total welfare (consumer and producer surplus). This framework has important policy implications for payers who wish to improve population health outcomes from constrained health care budgets. In particular, existing approaches to 'value-based pricing' should be reconsidered to ensure that patients receive a 'fair' share of the resulting economic surplus.

    Abstract For several decades, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio has been routinely used by health technology assessment agencies around the world to summarise the results of economic evaluations of health interventions. Yet reporting and considering incremental cost-effectiveness ratios is unnecessary. Alternative summary measures exist, based on the concept of 'net benefit'. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and measures of net benefit share several commonalities but some important distinctions. As a result, different methods are required to calculate and interpret incremental cost-effectiveness ratios compared to measures of net benefit. The aim of this practical application is to introduce readers to these methods, using a hypothetical example to illustrate key issues. First, the methods used to calculate each measure are described. Next, for each measure, consideration is made of whether and how each measure may be interpreted to perform the following tasks, each of which may be of interest to health technology assessment agencies: (1) identifying the single most cost-effective strategy; (2) ranking strategies from 'most' to 'least' cost-effective (on an ordinal scale); (3) determining the magnitude to which a strategy is more or less cost-effective than another strategy (on a cardinal scale); and (4) determining whether a strategy is more or less cost-effective following a sensitivity or scenario analysis. This practical application also introduces a novel approach for visually interpreting measures of net benefit using the cost-effectiveness plane, which addresses a number of limitations of the conventional cost-effectiveness 'efficiency frontier'. By the end of this practical application, readers should have an understanding of how to calculate and interpret each measure, as well as the relative strengths and limitations of each.

    Abstract Background: Nursing home-acquired pneumonia (NHAP) is the leading cause of mortality among residents in long-term care (LTC) homes. Aspiration pneumonia (AP) is one cause of NHAP. Professional oral health care (POHC) and daily mouth care can be effective in decreasing AP risk.
    Aim: To identify, appraise, synthesize, analyze, and interpret results on the effectiveness of onsite POHC interventions/programs delivered to LTC home residents in reducing oral disease and NHAP. To summarize the findings and provide recommendations for clinical work and future research.
    Methods: The PICO question addressed was, "In LTC home residents with oral health needs (P), is onsite POHC (I), compared to usual care (C), clinically effective in reducing dental disease and pneumonia/AP (O)?" Databases searched were PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid), CINAHL (Ebsco), Cochrane Library (Wiley), Web of Science, and the databases of the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination. Included were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-RCTs, and cross-sectional studies. PRISMA guidelines were followed and GRADE was used to assess the quality of studies.
    Results: Thirteen clinical effectiveness studies were included: 10 RCTs, 1 non-RCT, and 2 cross-sectional studies.
    Discussion: Better oral health and respiratory infection outcomes were found in the experimental groups who received an onsite POHC intervention compared to the control groups.
    Conclusion: There is moderate-to-strong evidence that onsite POHC in LTC homes, provided mostly by dental hygienists, is effective in preventing bacterial mouth infection, pneumonia, and AP.

    Abstract The UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recently launched a consultation on the methods it uses to evaluate new health technologies, and has highlighted the issue of how 'modifiers', including equity weights, should be incorporated into its processes. The practice of applying equity weights to specific population subgroups, as a means for increasing the effective cost-effectiveness threshold for some new health technologies, is well established in health technology assessment. It is also the subject of extensive discussion in the academic literature. In this paper, we demonstrate that NICE's current approach to equity weighting has the effect of reducing both population health and equity-weighted population health, a fundamental problem that appears to place NICE in contravention of its principles and obligations. We consider two potential methods for modifying NICE's current approach to address this problem. We also consider the merits of NICE abandoning its current approach to equity weighting and adopting a standard 'net benefit' approach in its place. We find that adopting a standard 'net benefit' approach is the most desirable option, as it provides for the most transparency while avoiding specific issues that arise when attempting to modify NICE's current approach. Regardless of the approach NICE uses for equity weighting, we find that protecting the health of National Health Service patients requires that some new technologies be evaluated using an effective cost-effectiveness threshold lower than the 'supply-side' cost-effectiveness threshold. This poses a particular challenge for NICE, given its obligations under the 2019 'Voluntary Scheme' between the UK pharmaceutical industry, the National Health Service, and the UK Government. We conclude by making some recommendations as to how NICE can move forward with the use of 'modifiers' in its decision making.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42022384192) registered systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine whether prophylactic peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion at the time of pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with improved short-term outcomes.
    Data sources: Databases search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library completed in April 2021 and updated October 2023.
    Study selection: Two reviewers independently completed study selection, data extraction, and bias assessment. Inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies of children (≤ 18 yr) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We evaluated use of prophylactic PD catheter versus not.
    Data extraction: The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, as well as secondary short-term outcomes. Pooled random-effect meta-analysis odds ratio with 95% CI are reported.
    Data synthesis: Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria, including four RCTs. The non-PD catheter group received supportive care that included diuretics and late placement of PD catheters in the ICU. Most study populations included children younger than 1 year and weight less than 10 kg. Cardiac surgery was most commonly used for arterial switch operation. In-hospital mortality was reported in 13 studies; pooled analysis showed no association between prophylactic PD catheter placement and in-hospital mortality. There were mixed results for ICU length of stay and time to negative fluid balance, with some studies showing shortened duration associated with use of prophylactic PD catheter insertion and others showing no difference. Overall, the studies had high risk for bias, mainly due to small sample size and lack of generalizability.
    Conclusions: In this meta-analysis, we have failed to demonstrate an association between prophylactic PD catheter insertion in children and infants undergoing cardiac surgery and reduced in-hospital mortality. Other relevant short-term outcomes, including markers of fluid overload, require further study.
