TL;DR: Haem-A-QoL is a short and well-accepted questionnaire and shows quite satisfactory psychometric characteristics (reliability, validity) and is important to understand specific problems of haemophilic patients and to improve their treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the response to BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine among healthcare workers (HCWs) in an Italian teaching hospital, where 444 participants were surveyed with either multiple RT-PCR assays for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal swabs or serology testing for the research of virus-specific immunoglobulins.

TL;DR: Clinical judgment in the context of current evidence supporting the benefits of cardioverter-defibrillators may provide a rational basis for choosing between CRT-P andCRT-D, which appears to meet the $50 000/QALY benchmark commonly used for health-care interventions in the USA, as well as similar thresholds used in Europe.

TL;DR: The IPSG has suggested minimal core standards to be applied to the reporting of economic evaluations of hemophilia prophylaxis to facilitate the comparison of studies and allow for more rational policy decisions and treatment choices.

TL;DR: In rivaroxaban-treated patients, rates for the primary outcomes were low, suggesting that patients administered rivroxaban were a good prognosis group, and the choice of anticoagulant varied with cancer type.
