PRECISIONheor Featured Rare Disease Publications

The high costs often associated with treatments for rare diseases can make it challenging for patients to gain access to these life-changing therapies. PRECISIONheor experts have led research in a number of innovative studies on rare diseases to help get these treatments into the hands of the patients that need them the most.

Insulin imports fail to meet many countries’ needs

Despite 100-year since its discovery, insulin – a life-saving medicine – remains inaccessible to millions around the world, owing to limited availability and high cost. Insulin is manufactured in just 20 countries worldwide, leaving all the other countries dependent on imports to meet the needs of their patients with diabetes.

Analytical Estimation of Data-Motivated Time-Dependent Disease Transmission Rate: An Application to Ebola and Selected Public Health Problems

Quantification of temporal transmission potential of an infectious disease has been a challenge. Most mathematical models assume that the transmission rate of an infectious disease either does not vary over time or change in fixed pre-determined adhoc ways.

A Solution Tool for Clinical Challenges in the Prognosis of Liver Injury

Several clinical scoring systems have gradually emerged for liver injury diagnosis, but certain serious inherent deficiencies currently limit their predictive value. Precision's Anuj Mubayi and co-author Aditi Ghosh report on their first of its kind study to use mathematical modeling to provide an accurate novel prognosis method to improve tools for diagnosis and clinical management of drug-induced acute liver injury and heart-attack-influenced ischaemic hepatitis liver injury.

What does it mean to be patient centered in health economics?

With drug pricing becoming a hot-button issue in recent years, the spotlight has focused on cost effectiveness models as a means of reducing health care spending, and pharmaceutical spending in particular. Precision's Jacquelyn Chou argues that the current cost effectiveness model is too narrow, and identifies additional elements of value that should be included to provide a better voice for patients in the science, rather than serving as a cost-containment tool.
