Ambulatory and hospital care of glaucoma in Spain and associated medical costs
CONCLUSIONS: The medical costs of glaucoma in Spanish hospitals decreased over the study period, while the costs of ambulatory care increased. This shift in the management of glaucoma should be considered in future resource allocation decisions.PMID:35616280 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2022.2083348

Surgical trends in glaucoma management: The current Indian scenario
ConclusionTrabeculectomy continues to be the clear winner for the Indian glaucoma surgeon because of its cost effectiveness, lack of expensive instrumentation, and a more robust surgical training for trabeculectomy during residency programs. A higher proportion of angle closure disease precludes the use of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery and very often tube shunts also. Economics, ease of access and follow-up made a combined cataract and glaucoma surgery a preferred choice among Indian surgeons.

Cost-effectiveness and budget impact analysis of a patient visit support system for blindness reduction in Japanese patients with glaucoma.
Conclusion: Introduction of this support system with SoC is cost-effective and will lead to blindness reduction in Japanese patients with glaucoma. Over a 20 year period, it will lead to an overall cost savings of 1,132 billion yen (10 billion US dollars) for the Japanese healthcare system. PMID: 32729756 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The cost burden of falls in people with glaucoma in National Health Service Hospital Trusts in the UK.
Conclusions: At MTW, glaucoma potentially plays a part in around one in eight falls resulting in hospital admission, at considerable personal and financial cost. We suggest that further work should explore early diagnosis of glaucoma, treatment and mitigation of falls risk. PMID: 31322025 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Using Adherence-Contingent Rebates on Chronic Disease Treatment Costs to Promote Medication Adherence: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionThis study shows that simultaneously leveraging several insights from behavioral economics can significantly improve medication adherence rates. The relatively low cost of the rebates and significant health and cost implications of medication non-adherence suggest that this strategy has the potential to cost-effectively improve health outcomes for many conditions.

How Can Nanotechnologies Aid Implantable Drug-Delivery Systems?
Implantable technologies have come a long way over the years, and advancements in micro and nanotechnologies have helped device developers continue to push the envelope even further. Within the realm of drug delivery, advances in nanotechnologies have consistently improved patient outcomes by enabling sustained drug delivery to help treat chronic conditions. These scalable technologies have even offered localized drug delivery that can further improve bioavailability. While many of these technologies offer a variety of opportunities, we’re still eagerly awaiting to see the impact of these advancements onc...

Cost-comparison of two trabecular micro-bypass stents versus selective laser trabeculoplasty or medications only for intraocular pressure control for patients with open-angle glaucoma.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite higher costs in year zero, annual costs thereafter were lowest in the two-stent treatment arm. Two-stent treatment may reduce OAG-related health resource use, leading to direct savings, especially over medications only or at longer time horizons.
