Multicenter Study Observational Study
Resource use and costs in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in routine clinical practice in Spain.
To compare healthcare resource use (HRU) and annual costs in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with poor glycaemic control and obesity versus good glycaemic control without obesity. ⋯ Poor glycaemic control and obesity in T2DM patients were associated with increased HRU and costs in routine clinical practice.

To quantify the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and economic burden of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). ⋯ CLL imposes a significant HRQoL and economic burden. Our systematic review shows that an unmet need persists in CLL for treatments that delay progression while minimizing AEs. Studies suggest targeted therapies may reduce the economic burden of CLL, but longer follow-up data are needed.

To assess variations in hospitalizations, emergency department/observational (ED/OB) stays not resulting in hospitalization, reasons for hospitalization, and hospitalization discharge destinations after chemotherapy, information not provided as part of Oncology Care Model (OCM) baseline data. ⋯ The variations in frequency of and reasons for hospitalization, ED/OB stays, and hospitalization discharge destinations across cancer types should be considered when evaluating OCM practice performance.
