    Assessing the cost effectiveness of NSAID: an international perspective
    (J Rheumatol Publ Co, 1995-07-01) Drummond, M.; Ferraz, M. B.; Mason, J.; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); MCMASTER UNIV
    A number of factors may affect the cost effectiveness of treatments and can cause this to vary by location. These factors include the patient population, relative price levels, clinical practice patterns and incentives to health professionals and institutions such as hospitals. This paper illustrates these issues by assessing the relative cost effectiveness of 3 nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID), with different levels of gastrointestinal side effects, in 3 countries. We conclude that the relative cost effectiveness of drugs is not only dependent on drug price but may also vary by country.

    (J Rheumatol Publ Co, 1994-12-01) Len, Claudio Arnaldo [UNIFESP]; Goldenberg, J.; Ferraz, M. B.; Hilário, Maria Odete Esteves [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, L. M.; Sacchetti, S.; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Objective. To translate into Portuguese the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire and to evaluate the reliability of the Portuguese version.Methods. The original questionnaire was translated into Portuguese, without modifications, and it was administered to 53 children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and their parents. The reproducibility and construct validity were studied.Results. We observed satisfactory Spearman's correlation coefficients among the instrument's score, a pain scare (visual analog scale) and conventional clinical variables commonly used by the pediatric rheumatologists: disease activity index, number of involved joints, American College of Rheumatology functional class, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The test-retest reliability was established.Conclusion. Our results provide evidence of the reliability of the Portuguese version of the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire.
