Association between Air Pollution and Suicide in South Korea: A Nationwide Study

<div><p>Suggestive associations of suicide with air pollutant concentrations have been reported. Recognizing regional and temporal variability of pollutant concentrations and of suicide, we undertook a detailed meta-analysis of completed suicides in relation to 5 major pollutants over 6 years in the 16 administrative regions of the Republic of Korea, while also controlling for other established influences on suicide rates. Of the 5 major pollutants examined, ozone concentrations had a powerful association with suicide rate, extending back to 4 weeks. Over the range of 2 standard deviations (SD) around the annual mean ozone concentration, the adjusted suicide rate increased by an estimated 7.8% of the annual mean rate. Particulate matter pollution also had a significant effect, strongest with a 4-week lag, equivalent to 3.6% of the annual mean rate over the same 2 SD range that approximated the half of annual observed range. These results strongly suggest deleterious effects of ozone and particulate matter pollution on the major public health problem of suicide.</p></div

Cost-effectiveness of vortioxetine <i>versus</i> venlafaxine (extended release) in the treatment of major depressive disorder in South Korea

<div><p>ABSTRACT</p><p><b><i>Objective</i></b>: To assess the cost-effectiveness of vortioxetine <i>versus</i> venlafaxine XR (extended-release) in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients in South Korea.</p><p><b><i>Methods</i></b>: A 1-year cost-effectiveness analysis from a limited societal perspective was performed using a combined model consisting of a decision-tree and a Markov model. Patients entered the model when initiating or switching antidepressant treatment following inadequate response to previous treatment. Remission, relapse and recovery were the main health states.</p><p><b><i>Results</i></b>: Vortioxetine dominated venlafaxine XR, with quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gains of 0.0131 and cost savings of KRW 623,229/year [US$530/year] from a limited societal perspective. Safety contributed more than efficacy to the incremental QALY gains. More patients were in recovery after initial treatment and after 1 year with vortioxetine (31%, 40%) compared to venlafaxine XR (23%, 36%). Vortioxetine remained dominant in 98% of probabilistic simulations.</p><p><b><i>Conclusion</i></b>: Vortioxetine dominated venlafaxine XR in South Korea and is a relevant treatment option for MDD patients initiating or switching therapy.</p></div

L’offre d’emplois conditionne la qualité de l’intégration dans le marché du travail Suisse: Une comparaison formation duale/formation en école

FRE: Comparée à la formation professionnelle en école, la formation duale en Suisse propose des qualifications plus spécialisées et transmet des connaissances pratiques. Nous examinons ici l’influence du type de formation sur la probabilité d’exercer le métier appris, de changer de métier, de poursuivre ses études ou de se retrouver au chômage un an après la fin de la formation, et ce en fonction de la composition de l’offre d’emplois. Nous nous basons sur l’enquête PISA/TREE et les offres d’emploi du Moniteur du marché de l’emploi suisse (SMM). L’entrée dans un emploi en rapport avec la formation est plus facile pour les jeunes issus de la formation duale. DE: Im Vergleich zu schulischen Berufsausbildungen vermitteln die dualen Lehren in der Schweiz stärker spezialisierte fachliche Qualifikationen. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht unter Berücksichtigung des fachspezifischen Stellenangebots den Einfluss des Ausbildungstyps auf eine der Ausbildung fachlich entsprechende Tätigkeit, Berufswechsel, weitere Bildung und Arbeitslosigkeit ein Jahr nach Lehrabschluss. Als Datengrundlage dienen das Schweizer Jugendpanel PISA/TREE und Stelleninserate des Stellenmarktmonitors Schweiz (SMM). Ein fachlich adäquater Berufseinstieg gelingt nach dualen als nach schulischen Berufsbildungen. ENG: Compared to school-based vocational training dual apprenticeship in Switzerland provides more specific occupational skills. We examine how an individual’s type of education influences the chances of working in an occupation having trained for, to shift occupations, to invest in further education or be unemployed one year after graduation regarding different numbesr of occupation-specific vacancies. We use the youth panel PISA/TREE and job ads from the Swiss Job Market Monitor data (SMM). Graduates from dual apprenticeship are shown to have a higher chance of entering the occupation trained for
