Journal ArticleDOI
Burden of Illness in Cancer Survivors: Findings From a Population-Based National Sample
TL;DR: Cancer survivors have poorer health outcomes than do similar individuals without cancer across multiple burden measures and these decrements are consistent across tumor sites and are found in patients many years following reported diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A national catalog of preference-based scores for chronic conditions in the United States.
TL;DR: The preference-based chronic condition scores reported in this research are nationally representative and may be useful to researchers to calculate quality-adjusted life-years for cost-effectiveness analyses and population-based burden of illness studies without the difficulty of primary data collection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Report of nationally representative values for the noninstitutionalized US adult population for 7 health-related quality-of-life scores.
TL;DR: This is one of the first sets of publicly available, nationally representative US values for any standardized HRQoL measure, important for use in both generalized comparisons of health status and in cost-effectiveness analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Screening with HPV plus Pap tests every 2 years appears to save additional years of life at reasonable costs compared with Pap testing alone, and applying age limits to screening is a viable option to maintain benefits while reducing costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
