The Impact

Abstract Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for the highest share of deaths and burden of disease in Belgium. Nevertheless, there is currently no national plan to prevent and monitor the health impact of NCDs. Recently, two initiatives have been launched by Sciensano, the Belgian institute for health, providing new opportunities for monitoring NCDs in an integrated and comparable way - i.e., the Belgian Health Status Report (HSR) and the Belgian National Burden of Disease Study (BeBOD). The HSR, launched in February 2019, integrates health status information in a continuously updated website: www.healthybelgium.be. Key indicators, identified through literature and stakeholder consultations, highlight specific needs and warning signals. Currently, the HSR integrates self-reported information on NCD prevalence from the Belgian Health Interview Surveys, with objective information on cancer and diabetes from the Belgian Cancer Registry and health insurance data, respectively. Future versions will include a broadened scope with national best estimates for other NCD groups. The BeBOD study was launched in 2016, aiming to provide a first set of internally consistent burden estimates by 2020. BeBOD will complement the HSR by integrating information on morbidity and mortality of NCDs into a single measure of burden of disease - the Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY). DALYs quantify the number of healthy life years lost due to disease, and allow comparing the burden of fatal and non-fatal conditions. Annual updates of the BeBOD study will further provide unprecedented opportunities to monitor the impact of NCDs over time. In addition to the new opportunities provided by the HSR and BeBOD study, NCD monitoring requires continued investment in active data collection and integration of available data sources. In term, these NCD monitoring systems will provide a solid basis for evaluating the impact of NCD control policies. Key messages There is currently no national plan to prevent and monitor the health impact of non-communicable diseases in Belgium. The Belgian Health Status Report and the Belgian National Burden of Disease Study provide new opportunities for monitoring non-communicable diseases in an integrated and comparable way.

The Impact

Objective: To examine the impact of 30-day hospital readmission for non-communicable diseases on limited health-care resources of a low-income country like Pakistan in the light of available data from Pakistan’s Sehat Sahulat Program. Study Design: Retrospective analytical cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Health Services Academy, Islamabad Pakistan, from Jan 2016 to Jul 2020. Methodology: Secondary data of patients readmitted with non-communicable diseases in Sehat Sahulat Program, Islamabad, Pakistan. Universal sampling technique was utilized. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 27. Results: Islamabad (ICT) stands second highest for readmissions (n=1270) in which the 30-days readmission rate was 13.69%. Maximum number of readmissions were found in 50-59 years (344, 27.12%). Of 1270 ICT readmissions, 559 (44%) cases were readmitted with non-communicable diseases while rest of 711 (56%) cases were readmitted for acute infectious diseases or surgical procedures. Of 559 non-communicable diseases cases, 236 (42.21%) readmissions were having one non-communicable disease, 63 (11.27%) readmissions exhibited two or more non-communicable diseases and 260 (46.51%) were readmitted because of cancers (CA). Among males, the most common malignancy was CA lungs/ bronchus 24 (19.8%) while among females, CA Breast 80 (56.3%). Conclusion: Non-communicable diseases represent a significant burden on resource constrained, low-income countries. In view of the recurrent admissions that these chronic diseases inevitably incur, better resource allocation may help lessen this burden on fragile health systems creating better clinical outcomes for the penurious strata of Pakistan’s population.
