The Health Economics of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias has become a major public health issue in aging societies. New treatments arriving to the market hold great potential for improving health outcomes of patients with ADRD but require new treatment pathways that can increase costs. Most healthcare systems heavily rely on other services such as social care and input from informal caregivers.The impact of ADRD on caregivers’ quality of life, productivity, and living arrangements, requires new scientific evidence.
Articles in this theme section will focus on these outstanding questions, creating a body of work aimed at providing new empirical evidence to guide decision making. The Editors are primarily interested in empirical articles, cost-effectiveness/budget impact models, and systematic literature reviews. Studies focusing on the prodromal stage of ADRD (ie, mild cognitive impairment) also will be considered.
Authors should submit manuscripts through the journal's online submission system at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/valueinhealth before July 1, 2024. Also, be sure to indicate in your cover letter that the paper is to be considered as part of the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias theme.
Systematic Literature Reviews Related to Healthcare Treatments and Policies
Systematic literature reviews are an essential component for obtaining data inputs or assessing the impact of health technologies on clinical, economic, or health-related quality of life. Recognizing the inherent usefulness of these types of studies, the Editors of Value in Health are issuing an open Call for Papers for systematic literature reviews on a wide array of topics that seek to inform healthcare decision making.
Submissions received before September 1, 2024 will have the best chance of being published in Value in Health in 2024. Final decisions regarding ultimate acceptance rest solely with the Editors.
