CONCEPT-COSTS Database

 

As part of the CONCEPT-COSTS project, this unit cost database for healthcare services has been created: CONCEPT-COSTS Database. The unit costs are sourced from national references and are displayed both in their original price in euros from the year they were published and in the price adjusted to 2024. Additionally, statistical estimators for each service are provided, such as the minimum and maximum values, mean, median, standard deviation, and interquartile range.

This is a dynamic database that will be periodically updated and expanded.

CONCEPT-COSTS Database can be downloaded via the following link: https://zenodo.org/records/11387757.

Computation of quality of life for general population: from age ranges to specific ages. Example with Spanish data

 

As part of the CONCEPT-COST project, we have published a new release on Zenodo, which estimates quality of life values by age for the general Spanish population based on age group data from the 2011/2012 National Health Survey.

The publication includes, on one hand, a file containing the estimated quality of life values for each age, and on the other hand, the code (in both MATLAB and R) that allows for the estimation of age-specific values from age group data for other general population quality of life datasets (updates for Spain, other countries, etc.).

The publication can be accessed at the following link: https://zenodo.org/records/11196614.
