Discontinuity of care was higher among younger adults, subgroups of males, urban residents, lower socioeconomic groups, those of "other" ethnicity, those who were unemployed, and patients with higher morbidity in this Danish cohort study doi.org/10.3399/BJGP... #PrimaryCare @trkristensen.bsky.social

📢 A brand-new study in Social Science & Medicine investigates how healthcare providers’ intrinsic motivation (pure joy of the work) relates to both their quality of care and response to a non-financial incentive 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

Healthcare and productivity cost of osteoporosis: a Danish register-based quasi-experimental study - Osteoporosis International Summary Osteoporosis significantly impacts healthcare costs in Denmark, with annual expenses exceeding €3097 per individual. The total annual burden of healthcare and productivity losses attributed to...

New study with @mariekruse.bsky.social @dache-sdu.bsky.social: the economic burden of osteoporosis in Denmark reveals approx. €3,000 in annual healthcare costs per patient and €4,000 in productivity losses. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Osteoporosis #HealthEconomics

📊 The study adds valuable insights to the limited literature on the impacts of changes in mixed remuneration schemes.

💰 While GP income showed a modest increase in the first year post-reform, the effect became insignificant in the second year. This may indicate that GPs are prioritizing leisure time over higher income, in line with the target income hypothesis...

Key Findings:
🔍 A tendency for GPs to serve fewer patients, with lower service levels per patient, even for complex cases. This suggests the reform may not have improved equity in access to care...

The study examines the effects of the 2018 agreement that introduced additional capitation payments for Danish GPs. The study assesses how these payments—based on patient complexity and physician shortages—have influenced GP service provision, income, and list size.

Do Physicians Respond to Additional Capitation Payments in Mixed Remuneration Schemes? Mixed remuneration schemes with capitation and fee-for-service (FFS) payments hold financial incentives to add patients to the list and provide services to listed patients. However, as patients with ...

Childhood vaccinations and the risk of leukemia: A nationwide cohort study A protective effect of childhood vaccinations on the risk of leukemia has been hypothesized, but findings remain inconsistent. Using a nationwide cohort of all Danish children born between 1997 and 2...

📊 Just out: our study followed 1.3 million children from birth to age 20, exploring whether childhood vaccines protect against leukemia. Our analysis reveals a complex story, finding no clear protective effect - challenging previous theories. doi.org/10.1002/ijc....

Sundhedsøkonom: Det er vigtigt, at vi lærer af Englands Vælg Klogt-fejl Den mest realistiske og holdbare strategi for Vælg Klogt-arbejde er sandsynligvis en kombination af top-down- og bottom-up-tilgange.

🔍 Lad os vælge klogt – og lære af erfaringerne!
I @sundhedsmonitor.dk fremhæver Troels Kristensen fra @dache-sdu.bsky.social vigtigheden af at balancere top-down- og bottom-up-strategier i Vælg Klogt-arbejdet 💡🏥🌍

New research: Screening for colorectal cancer doesn't just save lives—it saves money too! Our study of 13,852 patients shows non-screen-detected CRC costs €16,600 more per patient in healthcare costs over 2 years post-diagnosis compared to screen-detected cases. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"Vi kunne se, at når lægerne oplevede øget arbejdspres, udskrev de oftere bredspektret antibiotika i stedet for de smalspektrede former, der normalt anbefales i kliniske retningslinjer". Læs portræt af #MånedensForsker @asoxholm.bsky.social 👉 bit.ly/portraet_oxh... #dkforsk @dache-sdu.bsky.social
