Objective: To examine variations in end-of-life care for breast cancer, heart failure, and dementia patients. Data and methods: Data from four Norwegian health registries were linked using a personal identification number. Longitudinal trends over 365 days and the type of care on the final day of life were analyzed using descriptive techniques and logistic regression analysis. Results: Patients with dementia were more commonly placed in nursing homes than patients in the two other groups, while patients with heart failure and breast cancer were more frequently hospitalized than the dementia patients. Breast cancer and heart failure patients had a higher likelihood of dying at home than dementia patients. The higher the number of general practitioners, the higher was the probability of home-based end-of-life care for cancer patients, while an increasing non-physician healthcare workers increased the likelihood of home-based care for the other patient groups. Conclusions: Diagnoses, individual characteristics, and service availability are all associated with the place of death in end-of-life care. The higher the availability of health care services, the higher also is the probability of ending the life at home.

Background: Older men (aged ≥75 years) with high risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) are increasingly treated with curative therapy (surgery or radiotherapy). However, it is unclear if curative therapy prolongs life and improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in this age group compared to conservative therapy, which has evolved considerably during the last decade. Study design: The Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group (SPCG) 19/Norwegian Get-Randomized Research Group-Prostate (GRand-P) is a randomised, two-armed, controlled, multicentre, phase III trial carried out at study centres in Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. Endpoints: The primary endpoints are overall survival and HRQoL (burden of disease scale, European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] Elderly Cancer patients). Secondary endpoints are PCa-specific survival, metastasis-free survival, role-functioning scale (EORTC quality of life questionnaire 30-item core), urinary irritative/obstructive scale (26-item Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite [EPIC-26]), bowel scale (EPIC-26), intervention-free survival, PCa morbidity, use of secondary and tertiary systemic therapies, mean quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and mean total healthcare costs. Patients and methods: A total of 980 men (aged ≥75 years) with non-metastatic, high-risk PCa will initially be screened with Geriatric 8 (G8) health status screening tool and Mini-COG© brief cognitive test. Participants identified by G8 as 'fit' or 'frail' will be randomised (ratio 1:1) to either immediate curative therapy (radiotherapy or prostatectomy) or conservative therapy (endocrine therapy or observation). Participants who are unable or unwilling to participate in randomisation will be enrolled in a separate observation group. Randomised patients will be followed for 10 years. Trial registration: Ethics approval has been granted in Norway (457593), Denmark (H-22051998), Finland (R23043) and Sweden (Dnr 2023-05296-01). The trial is registered on Clinicaltrials.org (NCT05448547).

This chapter reviews the literature on the causal effects of policies on fertility. It focuses on evidence from experiments and quasi-experiments in low fertility contexts, including studies from Europe, Northern America, Oceania, and Asia. Making no a priori restrictions on policy type, the review encompasses evaluations of parental leave, childcare, health insurance, and financial incentives such as child transfers. Childcare expansions increase completed fertility. Financial incentives had positive effects on fertility across contexts, both in the short and long run. Expansions of parental leave rights in Central Europe, and introduction of parental leave in the USA, also had positive effects. Distributional effects of these policies are very different, with parental leave compensation benefiting high-earning couples, while expansions of childcare programs have potential to reduce social inequalities. Publicly funded assisted reproduction can increase fertility for women over the age of 35.

Sykehjemmene er en hjørnestein i kommunehelsetjenesten. De siste årene er antall sykehjemsplasser blitt redusert. Har det skjedd endringer i populasjonen av pasienter som er i langtidsopphold i sykehjemmene? Hensikten med denne artikkelen er å gi en nærmere beskrivelse av pasientpopulasjonen i kommunale helseinstitusjoner der sykehjemsplasser utgjør mer enn 95 % av plassene. Våre hovedfunn, basert på individdata fra Kommunalt pasient- og brukerregister fra perioden 2017–2021, er at det skjer en foryngelse av sykehjemsbeboerne, men at 70 % av dem fortsatt er 80 år eller eldre. I de eldre aldersgruppene som legges inn i langtidsopphold, finner vi overvekt av pasienter med hjerte- og karlidelser, nevrologiske lidelser og demens, mens psykiske og nevrologiske lidelser er de største sykdomsgruppene i de lavere aldersgruppene. Funksjonsevnen til eldre som er nyinnlagt, er noe redusert over tid. Det kan indikere at terskelen for å få langtidsplass er hevet for denne gruppen. Nyinnlagte pasienter i de lavere aldergruppene har imidlertid dårligere funksjonsevne enn de eldre. Våre resultater indikerer at inntakene til sykehjemmene reflekterer prioriteringskriteriene når vi betrakter landet samlet. Kommunenes utgifter til institusjonene ser ikke ut til å øke som følge av at andelen yngre pasienter som får langtidsplass, øker.

There is increasing empirical evidence of patient harmand resource waste from overdiagnosis, over-treatment, medical errors, and the underuse of effective care. This chapter reviews recent literature on physician behaviour and health outcomes. Research on the economics of physician behaviour takes a classical economic perspective based on using financial incentives to solve information problems in healthcare markets. The evidence on payment methods, competition and market organisation, and information interventions is summarised. Incentives matter, but may matter less in the presence of altruistic motives amongst most physicians, as well as the presence of complex multi-tasking decision environments. More contemporary research on physician behaviour has taken a behavioural perspective where it is acknowledged that physician decision making can be biased even in cases where incentive and information problems are absent. The large health services research literature on professional behaviour change incorporates behavioural and psychological perspectives yet integration into economic models of physician behaviour is still in its early stages. Though research on incentives continues to dominate the health economics literature, evidence suggests that behavioural approaches are important not only in understanding incentives, but in changing physicians’ behaviour using non-pecuniary interventions.

Stortinget har sluttet seg til de tre prioriteringskriteriene nytte, ressursbruk og alvorlighet. Norge har to sentrale systemer for prioritering av offentlig tilgang til nye metoder i helse- og omsorgstjenesten: systemet for innføring av nye metoder i spesialisthelsetjenesten (Nye metoder) og ordningen for forhåndsgodkjent refusjon og individuell stønad i blåreseptordningen (blåreseptordningen). De to systemene bidrar til at metodene som innføres, oppfyller prioriteringskriteriene og kravene til åpenhet, likebehandling og ressursbesparelser. Gjennom ti møter, flere eksterne rapporter og råd og innspill fra en rekke fag- og interesseorganisasjoner har Ekspertgruppen om tilgang og prioritering (heretter omtalt som «Ekspertgruppen») utredet dagens situasjon for Nye metoder og blåreseptordningen med hensyn til forholdet mellom prioriteringsbeslutninger på gruppe- og individnivå. Fremveksten av persontilpasset medisin og nye genterapier, samt øvrige avanserte og dyre nye metoder, utfordrer dette forholdet. Ekspertgruppen har vært opptatt av at flest mulig i befolkningen skal få rask og rettferdig tilgang til effektive metoder, innenfor gjeldende økonomiske rammer. Vurderingene som gjøres i de to prioriteringssystemene (Nye metoder og blåreseptordningen), skal i tillegg være forståelige og velbegrunnede, særlig ved beslutning om å ikke innføre en ny metode. I tråd med verdigrunnlaget i den norske offentlige helse- og omsorgstjenesten har prinsippet om likebehandling stått sterkt i utredningsarbeidet: Like tilfeller skal behandles likt. Ekspertgruppen anbefaler følgende ti tiltak som sammen skal fremme rettferdig tilgang til effektive metoder i den offentlige helse- og omsorgstjenesten: 1. forbedre informasjon om prioriteringssystemene og styrke kunnskap om prioritering hos klinikere og andre beslutningstakere 2. målrette arbeidet med metodevurderinger og undergruppeanalyser 3. øke pasienters mulighet for deltakelse i kliniske studier 4. innføre en ordning for vurdering av individuell tilgang etter nei-beslutning i Nye metoder 5. innføre en ordning for vurdering av individuell tilgang og gruppeunntak ved revurdering av metoder i Nye metoder 6. ikke åpne for at privatfinansiert behandling kan utgjøre et selvstendig grunnlag for tilgang til behandling i den offentlige helse- og omsorgstjenesten 7. ikke åpne for unntak før metodevurdering er gjennomført for blåreseptordningen 8. øke bruken av prisavtaler for å håndtere usikkerhet om effekt og risiko, særlig ved sjeldne diagnoser 9. legge til rette for «compassionate use» av legemidler for pasienter med forventet behandlingsvarighet under seks måneder 10. etablere nasjonale systemer for registrering og evaluering av ordninger for unntak og individuell tilgang
