Journal ArticleDOI

Henry C Kitchener,Maribel Almonte,C Thomson,Paula Wheeler,Alexandra Sargent,Boyka Stoykova,Clare Gilham,Clare Gilham,H. Baysson,Chris Roberts,Robin Dowie,Mina Desai,Jean Mather,A. Bailey,Andrew Turner,Sue Moss,Julian Peto,Julian Peto +17 more
TL;DR: LBC combined with HPV testing resulted in a significantly lower detection rate of CIN3+ in the second round of screening compared with LBC screening alone, but the effect was small.
Journal ArticleDOI
ARTISTIC: a randomised trial of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing in primary cervical screening.
Henry C Kitchener,Maribel Almonte,Clare Gilham,Robin Dowie,Boyka Stoykova,A Sargent,Chris Roberts,Mina Desai,Julian Peto +8 more
TL;DR: Routine HPV testing did not add significantly to the effectiveness of LBC in this study, and it would not be cost-effective to screen with cytology and HPV combined but HPV testing, as either triage or initial test triaged by cytology, would be cheaper than cytology without HPV testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do Health-Care Decision Makers Find Economic Evaluations Useful? The Findings of Focus Group Research in UK Health Authorities
TL;DR: There was a general consensus among decision makers in favor of developing a quality-scoring system for studies, thereby going beyond the critical summaries given in NHS EED, but methodological improvements are necessary to increase the reliability of economic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and economic impact of stress echocardiography compared with exercise electrocardiography in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome but negative troponin: a prospective randomized controlled study.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the clinical and economic impact of stress echocardiography (SEcho) when compared with exercise ECG (ExECG) in the assessment of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), non-diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG), and negative troponin.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized trial of exercise treadmill ECG versus stress SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging as an initial diagnostic strategy in stable patients with chest pain and suspected CAD: cost analysis.
TL;DR: There was no difference in cost to diagnosis between initial ETT and MPI, and in low-likelihood patients ETT was less costly, whereas there was no cost difference in intermediate- or high- likelihood patients.
