• W848417400 abstract "textabstractSince the late nineteenth century, population's health has improvedtremendously, at least in wealthy nations. Life expectancy at birth in theNetherlands has increased at an unprecedented pace from less than 40 years in1860 to currently 76 years for males and 81 years for females. It is widelyaccepted that better hygiene, housing and nutrition have contributed to thisincrease through a reduction in communicable diseases, rather than medicalcare. The small overlap between the period with the major declines in mortalityand the period of major advances in medicine suggests that the contribution ofmedical care to population health is at least limited, and has even been doubted[170]. However, it is now commonly believed that many preventive andcurative interventions have contributed to improved health [153]. Diseases thatwere killers in the past can now be cured or prevented.The improvement of population health comes at a price. Particularlyfrom the 1970s onwards, health care spending has increased fast, and currentlyaccounts for about 10% of the gross national product. The increase in health carespending is, apart from wage and price increases, generally attributed to twophenomena: the development of medical technology and, more recently, theageing of society. It is too commonplace to claim that medical innovation is costincreasing in generaL Some innovations will increase costs, whereas others willbe cost saving. In fact, the economic consequences of technologies can only beassessed for specific technologies related to specific indications [91]. Forexample, preventive interventions such as cervical and breast cancer screeningare effectively reducing cancer incidence but costs have shown to outweighsavings [270 280]. In contrast, treatment of stroke patients in specialized strokeunits results in more favourable health outcomes and cuts costs compared totreatment in general wards [122]. However, there are strong indications that onan aggregate level medical technology leads to increased health care spending[219].An objective of health care policy is to provide health care in suchmanner that population's health is maximized with an efficient use of resources.The current situation has put pressure upon policy makers to contain healthcare costs, and to restrict access to health care interventions that are evidence based, with proven effectiveness, and with acceptable cost-effectiveness.However, health (care) policies that maximize the overall health benefit atcontained costs can only be successful when data are available on apopulation's health and its determinants, on health care needs, and on theeffectiveness and efficiency of existing and newly developed medicaltechnology.In this thesis we present these data for two quite different healthproblems: injury and cervical cancer. For injury, population based estimates arepresented of health care costs and post-injury functional outcome, subdividedby injury diagnoses. We also investigated determinants of injury related healthcare costs and functional outcome. For cervical cancer, we evaluated severaloptions to improve the efficiency of population based screening and follow-up.The thesis starts with a chapter on the distribution of total health care costs bydiseases and injuries, and by basic demographic indicators." @default.
