Health utilities in Chinese patients with coronary heart disease and impaired glucose tolerance (ACE): A longitudinal analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Jose Leal et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal events on the health-related quality of life in Chinese patients with coronary heart disease and impaired glucose tolerance. The results showed that acarbose treatment had no effect on the patients' health-related quality of life. However, events such as myocardial infarction and stroke had a long-term impact on the health-related quality of life of the patients.

Hypertension and stroke in Asia: A comprehensive review from HOPE Asia

Yuda Turana et al.

Summary: Stroke is a major cause of disability and vascular death in Asia and globally. Studies in Asia have found that hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor for stroke, with blood pressure levels and variability also playing a role. Post-stroke cognitive impairment is a significant public health concern that is often overlooked despite its increasing prevalence. Preventing recurrence and increasing awareness and adherence to hypertension treatment are key goals in Asia.

Utility Decrements Associated With Diabetes and Related Complications: Estimates From a Population-Based Study in Germany

Michael Laxy et al.

Summary: This study estimated health utility decrements associated with diabetes and its complications in a German population study. The results showed significant negative associations between diabetes, cardiovascular, and microvascular conditions with health utility decrements. The study also found differences in utility decrements for certain conditions between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes.

Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Valery L. Feigin et al.

Summary: Regularly updated data on stroke including incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, and trends are crucial for evidence-based care planning. The Global Burden of Diseases Study provides comprehensive measurement of these metrics. From 1990 to 2019, while age-standardized rates improved, the number of strokes and deaths increased. Low-income countries had the highest stroke-related mortality and DALY rates, with high body-mass index being the fastest-growing risk factor.

Population norms for the EQ-5D-3L in China derived from the 2013 National Health Services Survey

Qiang Yao et al.

Summary: This study aims to develop population norms for the EQ-5D-3L in China, finding that Chinese respondents were less likely to report problems on the EQ-5D dimensions, with pain/discomfort being the most commonly reported problem. The Chinese population had high scores on the utility index and VAS, which were associated with factors such as age, education, employment, marital status, health condition, region development, and income.
