Ranibizumab in Diabetic Macular Oedema – A Benefit–risk Analysis of Ranibizumab 0.5 mg PRN Versus Laser Treatment
I ntroduction: The structured Benefit–risk Action Team (BRAT) approach aims to assist healthcare decision makers in treatment assessments. We applied BRAT to compare the benefit–risk profile of ranibizumab 0.5 mg versus laser photocoagulation for the treatment of diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Methods: One-year data for the ranibizumab 0.5 mg pro re nata (PRN) and laser arms of the phase III tr...
متن کاملProphylactic neck dissection for low-risk differentiated thyroid cancers: Risk-benefit analysis.
BACKGROUND The benefit of neck dissection is the subject of debate in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). We analyze the risk-benefit of neck dissection for low-risk DTC without detectable lymph nodes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study from 1983 to 2003; which included 295 patients without detectable lymph nodes who were treated by thyroidectomy with (C+) or without (C-) neck dissec...
متن کاملA Model for Runway Landing Flow and Capacity with Risk and Cost Benefit Factors
As the demand for the civil aviation has been growing for decades and the system becoming increasingly complex, the use of systems engineering and operations research tools have shown to be of further use in managing this system. In this study, we apply such tools in managing landing operations on runways (as the bottleneck and highly valuable resources of air transportation networks) to handle...
متن کاملRisk-benefit profile of warfarin versus aspirin in patients with heart failure and sinus rhythm: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND The risk-benefit profile of warfarin versus aspirin for patients with heart failure in normal sinus rhythm has not been definitively established. Our objective was to evaluate the overall comparative effects of warfarin and aspirin in patients with heart failure and normal sinus rhythm. METHODS AND RESULTS Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Clinical...
متن کاملEvidence-based risk stratification to target therapies in acute coronary syndromes.
The approach to risk stratification has evolved during the past 2 decades from a practice that once involved an evaluation for residual ischemia and for left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI). However, risk stratification has now evolved more to include assessment of the risk of future cardiac events, which can be predicted on the basis of clinical features at the time of...
متن کاملIntensity-modulated radiation therapy leads to survival benefit only in patients with high-risk prostate cancer: a population-based study.
BACKGROUND During the last years, there has been a rapid adoption of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa), despite the lack of randomized trials evaluating its effectiveness. The aim of our study was to evaluate the survival benefit associated with IMRT in patients with PCa. PATIENTS AND METHODS Overall, 42 483 patients with PCa treated with IMRT...
