This article examines the health status of the population in Bulgaria at age 65 by gender during the period 2006-2014. The health status is examined by some of the most frequently used demographic indicators, namely life expectancy, based on mortality data and healthy life years and healthy life expectancy, based on mortality, life expectancy and self-perceived health. The main results show that despite of the observed increase in life expectancy at age 65 in Bulgaria during the period it is the lowest compared to other European countries. The share for both men and women reported their health status as without limitations in respect to daily activities decline, while those reported their health status as good increase. These contradictory facts reflect on the measures of health status. Thus, the trend in healthy life years for both sexes decline over the period, whereas the trend in healthy life expectancy increases. Compared with the other European countries, the expected number of years without limitations in Bulgaria is among the largest, while the healthy life expectancy is the lowest. These differences could be explained by the different levels in mortality and the nature of the measures of health status themselves.

INTRODUCTION:Existing literature shows evidence on the differences in drug reimbursement decisions across countries. These differences are the reason for this study. The main aim of this research is to model the impact of drug reimbursement decisions on health outcomes (that is, life expectancy, healthy life years and mortality rates). In particular, this study is looking at countries that have different acceptance, restriction and rejection rates for drug reimbursement decisions.METHODS:The current study is based on a longitudinal dataset with data from nine European countries from 2002 to 2014. This dataset is formed of primary data on drug reimbursement decisions (that is, cancer drugs) collected in the Advancing and strengthening the methodological tools and practices relating to the application and implementation of Health Technology Assessment (ADVANCE-HTA) project and secondary data on life tables and indicators of health and socioeconomic status (from Eurostat and World Bank). Following the longevity model defined by Lichtenberg (1), a panel data model with country and year fixed-effects is run on this dataset in order to model the impact of the level of access to drugs on health outcomes.RESULTS:The results show that the rate of adoption of new drugs into a national health system does not have any significant effect on life expectancy. However, more restrictive systems are positively and significantly related with healthy life years. Finally, for mortality rates, higher rejection rates are associated with lower deaths.CONCLUSIONS:To conclude, contrary to the public opinion, results show that a more restrictive drug reimbursement system is not related with a worse health outcome, it is either associated with a positive outcome or it is not related.

Background: Disability-adjusted life years (DALY) are a common public health metric used to consistently estimate and compare disease burden. The impact of bystander interventions on DALY following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is unknown. Our objective was to estimate the effect of bystander CPR (B-CPR) and bystander AED (B-AED) application on DALY following OHCA in the United States (U.S.). Methods: DALY were calculated as the sum of years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD) using all adult non-traumatic EMS-treated OHCA from the national CARES database for 2016. A multivariable linear regression model was constructed for effect estimation with DALY values as the outcome and standard Utstein variables as independent variables. Marginal effect estimates for B-CPR and B-AED were derived in models that used all independent variables as main effects. A sensitivity analysis included interaction terms. The analysis for B-CPR was limited to bystander witnessed events. The B-AED analysis was limited to public OHCA events. The marginal effects on DALY were used to derive national estimates of life years saved. Results: A total of 19,324 OHCA cases met study inclusion criteria. The provision of B-CPR was associated with an absolute mean decrease of -0.36 DALY; 95% CI (-0.44, -0.27) per OHCA, when compared to cases without B-CPR (p<0.001). When extrapolated to a national level, the cumulative effect of B-CPR resulted in an estimated 25,317 healthy life years saved; 95% CI (19,342, 31,292). Bystander AED application was associated with a mean reduction of -0.32 DALY; 95% CI (-0.41, -0.23) per OHCA (p<0.001). The cumulative effect of B-AED application was an estimated 22,755 healthy life years saved 95% CI (16292, 29218). From a regression model that incorporated interaction effects, B-CPR with defibrillation was associated with an estimated 74,758; 95% CI (58511, 91004) healthy life years saved. Conclusion: Bystander interventions are associated with a decrease in DALY following adult OHCA. These results highlight the importance of national bystander CPR and AED education and surveillance.

The paper investigates the impact of the selected factors on the healthy life years of men and women in the EU countries. The multiple quantile spatial autoregression models are used in order to account for substantial differences in the healthy life years and life quality across the EU members. Quantile regression allows studying dependencies between variables in different quantiles of the response distribution. Moreover, this statistical tool is robust against violations of the classical regression assumption about the distribution of the error term. Parameters of the models were estimated using instrumental variable method (Kim, Muller 2004), whereas the confidence intervals and p-values were bootstrapped.
