Effects of Chinas National Volume-Based Procurement policy on utilisation and affordability of statins in children: an interrupted time series analysis

Background Statins are effective in lowering lipids and reducing cardiovascular risk. In recent decades, rising paediatric lipid levels, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), have led to growing demand for lipid-lowering drugs. However, access remains limited in LMICs due to financial constraints. To address this, China launched its National Volume-Based Procurement (NVBP) policy in 2019, significantly improving the price and affordability of statins. This study evaluates the policy’s impact on statin use and expenditures in children. Methods The study used interrupted time…

Individually designed fall prevention strategies compared to generic strategies for mastering complex fall risk situations in people with multiple sclerosis: study protocol of a randomised controlled trial

Introduction Of individuals with mild-to-moderate multiple sclerosis (MS), 56% report falling at least once during a 3-month period. Several fall risk factors have been identified, but the issue is complex, with interactions between triggering factors and preceding activities and events. There is a lack of studies explicitly evaluating fall prevention strategies given as counselling over time. Methods and analysis The project includes (1) a two-armed randomised controlled internal pilot study with a nested qualitative study on participants’ experiences and (2) a randomised controlled trial…

Cross-sectional study of gender differences in the perception of body image during cancer-induced weight loss: study protocol for the GRACE study (Global Research on Appearance in Cancer)

Background Unintentional weight loss is prevalent in advanced cancer and maintaining weight is critical to improve clinical outcomes. Body image plays a significant role in how weight loss is perceived. A previous Swedish study showed that men with advanced cancer had a negative perception of cancer-induced weight loss whereas women perceived the weight loss more positively. Objectives The aim of the GRACE study (Global Research on Appearance in Cancer) is to study gender differences in the perception of body image during cancer-induced weight loss. Second, we aim to explore cross-country…

Background Diabetes is a major global public health challenge, with rapidly rising incidence, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Physical activity is a well-established protective factor against type 2 diabetes (T2DM); however, the population-level impact of realistic modest increases in physical activity remains unclear. Objectives To estimate the burden of T2DM attributable to physical inactivity in Brazil and project the impact of modest increases in physical activity. Research design and methods We calculated the population attributable fractions (PAFs) and economic costs of…
