Improving hospital arrival times for AIS in patients with T2D is cost-effective, but primary prevention yields greater benefits.

The potential reduction in pediatric dental Medicaid coverage could lead to nearly 96,000 additional cases of dental caries and $86.5 million in additional healthcare costs, according to a new study ...

Abstract: The Capacity Drop (CD) is a sustained drop in a freeway bottleneck outflow when its upstream section becomes congested. Understanding how to replicate CD with microscopic models can help us ...

Introduction Microsimulation models are computer-based models, which can be employed to simulate the behaviour of microagents, such as children and adolescents, to understand the potential behavioural ...

Microsimulation is a modeling technique that uses a sample size of individual units (microunits), each with a unique set of attributes, and allows for the simulation of downstream events on the basis ...

This recapitulation of HEP-CE iterates across timesteps and events rather than over person lives, as past versions did. Each timestep (month), the simulated population is subjected to discrete events.

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk increases with age. Statins reduce cardiovascular risk but their effects are less certain at older ages. We assessed the long-term effects and ...
