Impact on mortality Sample Clauses

Impact on mortality. Apart from benefiting the health system, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is expected to have a positive impact on society by encouraging active ageing and increasing the quality of life of the elderly. Therefore, the model calculates the value of the expected reduction in mortality (assumed to be 35%), as the value of one extra QALY year7, which is assumed to be €30,000 as in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2012). The expected annual reduced mortality is computed by multiplying the number of deaths due to each disease by the DOREMI deployment level and by the parameter on mortality reduction (35%). Since ▇▇▇▇▇▇ can help reducing the prevalence of the three illnesses, the expected mortality reduction for the three of them is added up in order to obtain the expected total reduction due to DOREMI. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the results by country in each deployment level. In the first scenario, the estimated reduction goes from 33 deaths less in Luxembourg to an 8,500 deaths reduction in Germany. In the second scenario, the reduction is above 15,000 deaths in Germany and above 8,000 in Italy, Poland, UK, Romania and France. In the EU as a whole, the expected reduced mortality would be 49,181 people in the low deployment scenario and 98,362 in the high. 7 One QALY is equal to 1 year of life in perfect health. They are estimated as the years of life remaining for a patient and weighting each year with a quality-of-life score (on a 0 to 1 scale). ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇/glossary?letter=q Afterwards, this reduced mortality is multiplied by the QALY value of one year extra life (€30,000). Figure 11 and Figure 12 display the economic value of this reduced mortality, which is almost 1 Million € in Luxembourg and 257 Million € in Germany in the low deployment scenario. For the 40% deployment scenario the estimated value rises to 514 Million € in Germany. The aggregate values at EU-level are 1,475 Million € with a 20% deployment and 2,951 Million € if the deployment is 40%. 300 250 200 150 100 50 - 600 500 400 300 200 100 -
