Cost-effectiveness of tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment strategies for chronic myeloid leukemia in South Africa by Rochelle Woudberg, Edina Sinanovic

“…BackgroundThe treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia through tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has achieved promising efficacy and safety outcomes, however the costs are associated with a substantial economic burden. The objective of this study was to develop a Markov model with a 20-year time horizon to assess the cost effectiveness of TKIs from a public healthcare system perspective in South Africa.MethodsWe constructed a Markov model to compare three strategies in which treatment was initiated with either imatinib, nilotinib, or dasatinib. …”

Identification of vulnerable zones of the formation of region’s public finances under sanctions restrictions by P. A. Ivanov

“…According to the results of the analysis of the main tax revenues of the consolidated budget of the republic, the zones most exposed to the risk of shortfall in income were identified: firstly, the high volatility of the dynamics of the corporate income tax compared to the personal income tax, and secondly, the decrease in the diversification of tax revenues on profit in the sectoral context, thirdly, the growth of the contribution to the volume of tax revenues of those types of economic activity that have the most favorable tax and investment regime (the need to improve the system of tax and investment preferences). …”
