Socioeconomic differences in inpatient care expenditure in the last year of life among older people: a retrospective population-based study in Stockholm County by Bo Burström, Nicola Orsini, Megan Doheny, Pär Schön, Anders Walander, J Agerholm

“…Incurring higher ICE at the 95th percentile was driven by greater morbidity (SEK20 333, 95% CI SEK12 673 to SEK29 993) and emergency department care visits (SEK77 995, 95% CI SEK64 442 to SEK79 549), while lower ICE across the distribution was associated with older age and residing in institutional care.Conclusion Gaining insight into patterns of healthcare expenditure in the last year of life has important implications for policy, particularly as socioeconomic differences were visible in ICE at a time of greater care need for all. Future policies should focus on engaging in advanced care planning and strengthening the coordination of care for older people.…”

COVID-19 Fatality: Statistical Evidence to Engender the Need for Focal Shift from Air Pollutants to Multi-dimensional Intervention by Satya S. Patra, Subhasmita Panda, Trupti Das, Boopathy Ramasamy

“…A strength of association parameter, ω2, and the coefficient of determination, R2, were used to evaluate the transboundary association. ω2 results indicated that only 24.6%, 0.03% and 15.4% of the variation in COVID-19 fatality rates could be explained using PM2.5, NO2, and O3 concentrations respectively for all the analyzed cities. Further, low values of R2 between pollutant concentrations and COVID-19 fatality rates corroborated the results (0.27 for PM2.5, 0.00038 for NO2 and 0.18 for O3). …”
