Title: How many people will live and die with serious illness in Ireland to 2040? Estimated needs and costs using microsimulation / Peter May [et al.]
Notes: Sumario: As populations age, more people worldwide will live and die with serious illness like cancer, heart disease and dementia. Prior projections of serious illness prevalence and end-of-life care needs have typically used static population-level methods. We estimated future disease prevalence and healthcare costs by applying dynamic microsimulation models to high-quality individual-level panel data on older adults (aged 50 + ) in Ireland. We estimated that the number of people living and dying with serious illness will increase approximately 70 % over 20 years. Per-capita annual costs both at end of life and not at end of life increase substantially due to ageing populations and growing complexityRelated records: En: The Journal of the economics of ageing . - Oxford : Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2021-. - 15/10/2024 Volumen 29 - 2024 , p. 8Materia / lugar / evento: Salud ‌Enfermedades ‌Mortalidad ‌Sistema Nacional de Salud ‌Irlanda ‌Otros autores: May, Peter ‌
