Health service research (HSR) has changed the way healthcare is delivered to patients and its and quality. The research has continually generated results that, if translated into policy and clinical practices, can improve health outcomes, and provide better patient care and treatment. However, the t

The issue of health equity is important to Thai people, but there has not been a clear measure of its significance. Findings from the “Health Inequality Aversion Survey” confirm that Thai people highly value health equity, although differences exist between the general public and policymakers

Abstract Surrogate endpoints are frequently used as primary outcomes in clinical trials. This is appropriate when they are validated for their ability to predict clinical benefit measured on patient-relevant target outcome(s). Such validation is often lacking, thus increasing uncertainty in the dec

Indoor air pollution has become a significant concern, contributing to the decline in air quality through the presence of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter, especially under poor ventilation. Hospitals, functioning as non-industrial microenvironments, particularly in Thailand, face challenge

Indoor air pollution has become a significant concern, contributing to the decline in air quality through the presence of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter, especially under poor ventilation. Hospitals, functioning as non-industrial microenvironments, particularly in Thailand, face challenges due to insufficient and incomplete databases for

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is advancing rapidly and playing an important role in healthcare worldwide. However, real-world implementation remains challenging in terms of economic value, patient data security, and acceptance by health professionals. Hence, this study was conducted with three main components: (1) a

Management of advanced prostate cancer, particularly in cases of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), typically involves first-line treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent docetaxel. Nevertheless, disease progression following docetaxel therapy remains a major challenge, as there are currently no therapeutic options listed in

Economic evaluation can be a tool to assist policy makers in resource allocation decision making. In cost-utility analysis, health outcomes resulting from health interventions are measured using several methods, for example, Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY). The QALY is a single index score in which both health-related quality of life and life exp

The study aims to explore how the processes to assess the appropriateness of health technologies are managed and arried out in responsible organizations in other countries.
