    The Economic Impact of Symptomatic Menopause Among Low-Socioeconomic Women in the United States
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015-08-02) Başer, Onur; Keshishian, A; Xie, Lin; Wang, Yuexi
    Background: Menopausal symptoms have a significant negative impact on patient's quality of life and increase healthcare costs among women. Methods: This retrospective analysis used data from a U.S. national database (01 January 2008-31 December 2010). Patients with a diagnosis of menopause symptoms or a prescription claim for hormone therapy were matched to control patients. Healthcare resource utilization and costs during the 6-month follow-up period were compared. Generalized linear models were used to adjust for differences in baseline and demographic characteristics between the cohorts. Results: A total of 71,076 patients were included in each cohort. Patients with menopausal symptoms were more likely to have depression and anxiety and incurred significantly higher follow-up healthcare costs ($7237 vs $6739, p < 0.001) and healthcare utilization during the 6-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with menopausal symptoms or treated with hormone therapy incurred significantly higher healthcare costs than those without menopausal symptoms or treatment.

    A Value-Adding Approach To Reliability Under Preventive Maintenance Costs and Its Applications
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-05-12) Dubey, Rameshwar; Kılıç, Erdem; Ali, Sadia Samar; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm
    No equipment (system) can be perfectly reliable in spite of the utmost care and best efforts on the part of the designer, decision-maker and manufacturer. The two sides of maintenance are corrective and preventive maintenance. It is generally assumed that a preventive maintenance action is less costly than a repair maintenance action. We examine this proposition in detail on the basis of a failure-time model that relates conformance quality to reliability. Illustratively, we present reliability in the context of contracts with asymmetric information. The model shows how to overcome information rents through price distortions and quantity rationing. The paper ends with a conclusion and an outlook to future studies.
