Global trends and partial forecast of adverse effects of medical treatment from 1990 to 2019: an epidemiological analysis based on the global burden of disease study 2019. BMC Public Health 2024; 24:295. [PMID: 38273270 PMCID: PMC10809510 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-023-17560-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The possibility of adverse effects of medical treatment (AEMT) is increasing worldwide, but little is known about AEMT in China. This study analyzed the health burden of AEMT in China in recent years through the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019 and compared it with the worldwide average level and those in different sociodemographic index (SDI) regions. METHODS We calculated the age-standardized rate (ASR) of deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), incidence and prevalence attributed to AEMT in China, worldwide and countries with different sociodemographic indices during 1990-2019 using the latest data and methods from the GBD 2019. RESULTS From 1990 to 2019, the global age-standardized death rate (ASDR), DALYs, and YLLs for AEMT showed a significant downward trend and were negatively associated with the SDI. By 2040, the ASDR is expected to reach approximately 1.58 (95% UI: 1.33-1.80). From 1990 to 2019, there was no significant change in the global incidence of AEMT. The occurrence of AEMT was related to sex, and the incidence of AEMT was greater among females. In addition, the incidence of AEMT-related injuries and burdens, such as ASR of DALYs, ASR of YLLs and ASR of YLDs, was greater among women than among men. Very old and very young people were more likely to be exposed to AEMT. CONCLUSIONS From 1990 to 2019, progress was made worldwide in reducing the harm caused by AEMT. However, the incidence and prevalence of AEMT did not change significantly overall during this period. Therefore, the health sector should pay more attention to AEMT and take effective measures to reduce AEMT.

Xu L, Dong Q, Jin A, Zeng S, Wang K, Yang X, Zhu X. Experience of financial toxicity and coping strategies in young and middle-aged patients with stroke: a qualitative study. BMC Health Serv Res 2024; 24:94. [PMID: 38233772 PMCID: PMC10795406 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-023-10457-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND While financial toxicity (FT) is prevalent in patients with cancer, young and middle-aged patients with stroke are also affected by FT, which can exacerbate their physical and psychological challenges. Understanding the patient's experience and response measures can further understand the impact of FT on patients with stroke, to help alleviate FT. However, little is known concerning the experience of patients with stroke with FT or their coping strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the experiences of FT in young and middle-aged patients with stroke and their coping strategies. METHODS A phenomenological method was utilized. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 young and middle-aged stroke patients (aged 18-59) between October 2022 and March 2023. The participants were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China. The research team used NVivo 12.0 software. Giorgi's phenomenological analysis method was used to analyse the interview data. RESULTS The interview results were divided into two categories in terms of patients' experiences of FT and their coping strategies. Nine subthemes were constructed. The experience category included four subthemes: (1) taking on multifaceted economic pressure, (2) dual choice of treatment, (3) decline in material living standards, and (4) suffering from negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. The coping strategy category included five subthemes: (1) reducing expenses, (2) improving living habits, (3) proactive participation in medical decision-making, (4) making a job position choice, and (5) seeking social support. CONCLUSIONS FT in young and middle-aged patients with stroke, which affected their physical and mental health, led them to implement strategies for dealing with FT. The Chinese government needs to broaden the reach of health insurance coverage and advance the fairness of healthcare policies. Healthcare professionals must pay active attention to FT in such patients in terms of strengthening their health education and considering their needs and preferences. Patients need to improve their sense of self-efficacy, actively reintegrate into society, and adhere to rehabilitation and treatment. Individuals at a high risk of stroke are recommended to purchase health insurance. Multifaceted efforts are needed to reduce the impact of FT in young and middle-aged patients with stroke.

Abstract
The primary prerequisite for socioeconomic growth is good health, hence promoting residents' health is a vital objective of public policies. It is yet up for debate whether or not the digital economy (DE), which will be crucial to future economic growth, will eventually result in improvements in residents' health. Utilizing the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data in 2020, we explore how the DE affects residents' health. The findings reveal that residents' health is greatly enhanced by the DE. The eastern region sees a more dramatic improvement in residents' health as a result of the DE. Additionally, the DE can improve residents' health through the promotion of regional green development. The study's findings add to our knowledge of how the DE impacts residents' health while also offering recommendations for achieving universal health.

Tian L, Dong H. Study on the Dynamic Relationship between Chinese Residents' Individual Characteristics and Commercial Health Insurance Demand. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:4797.

Abstract
Based on the time series data of age characteristics, household registration characteristics, gender characteristics, education characteristics, marriage characteristics and commercial health insurance density of Chinese residents from 1997 to 2020, this paper aims to explore the dynamic relationship between the individual characteristics of Chinese residents and the demand for commercial health insurance by means of impulse response and variance decomposition analysis using an SVAR model. The results show that the age characteristics, household registration characteristics, gender characteristics, education characteristics and marriage characteristics of Chinese residents have a significant impact on the demand for commercial health insurance, but there is a time lag. There is a long-term equilibrium relationship between them: In terms of age characteristics and gender characteristics, the former has a positive effect in the short term and a significant inhibition on commercial health insurance demand in the long term, while the latter has the opposite. In terms of household registration characteristics, education characteristics and marriage characteristics, there are positive effects on the whole and negative effects in a particular period.

Abstract
Introduction There is limited evidence on the sustainability and optimal design of China's private health insurance market, especially from the demand-side. With the increasing medical cost burden on both patients and the social security system, policy makers need data on potential clients' demand for private health insurance. Methods A discrete choice experiment was conducted to explore potential clients' preferences for a type of government-involved private supplementary health insurance, Huimin Insurance, in China. A mixed logit model was used to evaluated participants' preferences for six attributes. Willingness to pay, subgroup analysis and interaction effects were estimated based on the initial model. Results Among the 947 participants, 883 (93.2%) were aged 18 to 59 years and 578 (61.0%) were female. Participants had a strong preference for government involvement, extensive benefit packages, high reimbursement ratio and compensation for pre-existing conditions. With respect to the attribute of deductible, participants were indifferent between the level of CNY15,000 and CNY18,000 but had strong and significant preference for the level of CNY15,000 than CNY20,000. The premium was significantly correlated with a decline in the utility of PHI. Conclusions All attributes had a significant impact on participants' preference for Huimin Insurance. Providing a reference point for the development of private health insurance in China, our results inform the optimal design of PHI, especially Huimin Insurance's products.

Abstract
As a necessary supplement to social medical insurance, commercial health insurance is an important part of the Healthy China strategy. This study, based on the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) data in 2017, uses the probit model to analyze and study the internal relationship between Internet use and commercial health insurance purchase of urban and rural residents. The research results show that the use of the Internet significantly promoted commercial health insurance purchases of residents, and the promotion effect for rural residents is apparently better than that among urban residents. In addition, the social level of residents is improved through the use of Internet, which can promote commercial health insurance purchases. It provides a significant reference value for the effective integration of Internet use and commercial health insurance, and the high-quality development of the modern insurance industry.
