  • Predictors of Return to Work After Stroke in Hungary: A Mixed-Methods Economic and Clinical Data Analysis
    Arie Arizandi Kurnianto, Sándor Kovács, Nagy Ágnes
    Healthcare Switzerland, 2025
    Background: Return to work (RTW) is a fundamental aspect of recovery after stroke, importantly, for workers of working age. Evidence indicates there is little known about the clinical and systematic predictors of RTW in Hungary. We aimed to determine the independent predictors of RTW for stroke survivors using aggregate hospital data and expert opinion. Methods: A mixed-method study using aggregated national level administrative data from the Pulvita platform (the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary) and expert interpretation from the physicians who treat stroke survivors. The data analyzed 13,572 inpatient records for stroke hospitalizations from 2015–2024 across Hungarian counties. Results: Stroke severity, cognitive and psychological recovery, and presence of comorbidities were important clinical predictors of RTW. Rehabilitation intensity was greater for people aged 51–65 years, and work-age men appeared to have slightly better access to rehabilitation compared to work-aged women. Patients accessed more medical rehabilitation services than they did occupational or psychosocial services. Access to rehabilitation services may have varied geographically, with patients in counties such as Budapest and Pest having better access due to higher provider availability and cross-county patient movement. In addition, economic extrapolations from the literature on post-stroke care costs may have introduced bias in estimating annual social productivity losses, reported as EUR 19,953 per patient. Conclusions: Clinical and economic factors both impact RTW potential among stroke survivors in Hungary. Although rehabilitation intensity can indicate likelihood of RTW, the lack of a national RTW program acts as a significant barrier to RTW for stroke survivors. This study suggests a need for integrated rehabilitation and RTW systems, with associated future research linking clinical, economic, and labor market status data to develop effective and efficient policy for stroke survivors.
  • Economic Evaluations of Rehabilitation Interventions: A Scoping Review with Implications for Return to Work Programs
    Arie Arizandi Kurnianto, Sándor Kovács, Nagy Ágnes, Prabhat Kumar
    Healthcare Switzerland, 2025
    Background/Objectives: The use of rehabilitation interventions is critical in addressing health and economic outcomes, including return to work (RTW) facilitation for individuals with disabilities. However, the economic evaluation of these interventions has been found to lack consistency, with limited adherence to reporting standards and little focus on integrated approaches. This scoping review will map the existing evidence on the economic evaluations of rehabilitation interventions and their implications for return to work (RTW) programs. Methods: A systematic search of databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, to identify studies that provided full economic evaluations of rehabilitation interventions related to RTW. Using the PRISMA-ScR framework, 11 studies were ultimately included. Data extraction included the model type, cost-effectiveness models, adherence to CHEERS reporting guidelines, and implications for RTW. Results: The majority of studies examined medical or psychological interventions, with little representation of vocational or integrated approaches. ICERs differed greatly between studies based on methodologies and healthcare settings. The reporting of heterogeneity, uncertainty analysis, and societal perspectives were some of the gaps identified from adherence to CHEERS guidelines. Conclusions: Economic evaluations show that rehabilitation interventions can be cost-effective for improving RTW outcomes. Future research priorities include interdisciplinary approaches, standardized methodologies, and studies based on LMICs to address global disparities.
  • Patient-Reported Experience and Outcome Measures of Patients Living With Diabetes: Associations Among Different Factors
    Eszter Sághy, Dalma Erdősi, Bertalan Németh, Sándor Kovács, István Wittmann, Antal Zemplényi
    Value in Health Regional Issues, 2025
    OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the association between demographic characteristics and patient-reported experiences (PREs) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in individuals living with diabetes, using the Swedish National Diabetes Register questionnaire. The study sought to understand how baseline attributes such as age, gender, and education affect patients' experiences and management of diabetes. METHODS: We used a cross-sectional survey approach with 544 patients diagnosed as having type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus at the University of Pécs. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to identify the key dimensions of diabetes-related experiences, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis to validate these dimensions. Regression analysis was used to examine the impact of demographic variables on the derived factors. RESULTS: The factor analysis revealed 5 key dimensions: diabetes-related obstacles, diabetes coping mechanisms, flexibility of healthcare providers, general well-being, and social support. Regression analysis indicated that older patients perceived fewer obstacles and demonstrated better coping mechanisms. Higher educational levels were significantly associated with greater satisfaction with healthcare provider flexibility. Females reported poorer overall well-being but better coping mechanisms than males. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that demographic characteristics significantly influence patient experiences and outcomes in diabetes care. Tailored interventions that address specific demographic needs can enhance patient-centered care and improve management strategies. These insights underscore the importance of considering patient diversity in developing healthcare interventions and underscore the utility of the Swedish National Diabetes Register questionnaire in assessing diverse patient experiences in diabetes management.
  • A novel machine learning methodology for the systematic extraction of chronic kidney disease comorbidities from abstracts
    Eszter Sághy, Mostafa Elsharkawy, Frank Moriarty, Sándor Kovács, István Wittmann, Antal Zemplényi
    Frontiers in Digital Health, 2025
    BackgroundChronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health concern and is frequently underdiagnosed due to its subtle initial symptoms, contributing to increasing morbidity and mortality. A comprehensive understanding of CKD comorbidities could lead to the identification of risk-groups, more effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. Our research presents a two-fold objective: developing an effective machine learning (ML) workflow for text classification and entity relation extraction and assembling a broad list of diseases influencing CKD development and progression.MethodsWe analysed 39,680 abstracts with CKD in the title from the Embase library. Abstracts about a disease affecting CKD development and/or progression were selected by multiple ML classifiers trained on a human-labelled sample. The best classifier was further trained with active learning. Disease names in question were extracted from the selected abstracts using a novel entity relation extraction methodology. The resulting disease list and their corresponding abstracts were manually checked and a final disease list was created.FindingsThe SVM model gave the best results and was chosen for further training with active learning. This optimised ML workflow enabled us to discern 68 comorbidities across 15 ICD-10 disease groups contributing to CKD progression or development. The reading of the ML-selected abstracts showed that some diseases have direct causal effect on CKD, while others, like schizophrenia, has indirect causal effect on CKD.InterpretationThese findings have the potential to guide future CKD investigations, by facilitating the inclusion of a broader array of comorbidities in CKD prognostic models. Ultimately, our study enhances understanding of prognostic comorbidities and supports clinical practice by enabling improved patient monitoring, preventive strategies, and early detection for individuals at higher CKD development or progression risk.
  • Optimization of pharmaceutical research and development by early-phase assessment of investigational medicinal products
    Zoltán Kaló, Attila Imre, Gábor Varga, Sándor Kovács, György Tímár, Balázs Nagy
    British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2025
    Small and mid‐sized pharmaceutical innovators often have limited in‐house health economics and market access expertise, and may struggle to align development strategies of investigational medicinal products with health system needs and payer expectations. Limited attention to building the health economic story during early development phases may ultimately result in suboptimal return on investment. Early‐phase health technology assessment (eHTA) provides a structured approach to value maximization. Selection of the payment model helps to understand what value propositions are taken into account, in general, by the target payers of the new medicine. Fair judgement on the degree of innovation at the expected launch date is essential to choose the relevant propositions from the general list of value drivers. Development of the conceptual value framework translates target product profile into policy‐relevant value propositions, such as health gain, expected cost savings through avoided medical events and delayed disease progression, value in use or health system benefits. Implementation of the health economics and outcomes research strategy helps to justify premium price based on added value and facilitate the appropriate order of target indications with the most return on investment. Effective integration of eHTA into the research and development process enables innovators to shorten time to reimbursement and increases the probability of clinical and commercial success for investigational medicinal products.

    Expert Review of Anti Infective Therapy, 2025
    INTRODUCTION: Postoperative Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the incidence of postoperative S. aureus infections. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Embase (2008-2023) for studies reporting S. aureus infections after hip or knee replacement, spinal surgery, craniotomy, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), open colon surgery, abdominal hysterectomy, cesarean section, peripheral vascular bypass, or elective plastic surgery in selected developed countries were considered. We conducted meta-analysis with a generalized linear mixed model and assessed risk of bias. This study is registered with PROSPERO,CRD42023416876. RESULTS: Data from 224 studies indicated a cumulative incidence of deep S. aureus infection after hip surgery 5.05 infections/1000 procedures (95% CI 3.29-7.74), 5.59 (95% CI 3.62-8.63) after knee surgery, 11.74 (95% CI 9.08-15.16) after spinal surgery, and 7.23 (95% CI 1.63-31.86) after CABG surgery. S. aureus infections were associated with increased all-cause mortality among CABG, hip, knee, and spinal surgeries. Patients cohorts who received antibiotic prophylaxis and/or underwent decolonization demonstrated lower incidence of S. aureus infections. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of S. aureus infections varies by procedure, with highest rates seen after spinal surgeries and hysterectomies. Findings highlight the importance of standardized prevention across surgical settings.

    Judit Tittmann, Tamás Ágh, Dalma Erdősi, Bettina Csanády, Erika Kövér, Antal Zemplényi, Sándor Kovács, Zoltán Vokó
    Discover Oncology, 2024
    Objective Examining the distribution of breast cancer (BC) stage and molecular subtype among women aged below (< 45 years), within (45–65 years), and above (> 65 years) the recommended screening age range helps to understand the screening program's characteristics and contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of BC screening programs. Methods In this retrospective study, female patients with newly diagnosed BC from 2010 to 2020 were identified. The distribution of cases in terms of TNM stages, severity classes, and subtypes was analysed according to age groups. Results A total of 3282 women diagnosed with BC were included in the analysis. Among these cases 51.4% were detected outside the screening age group, and these were characterized by a higher TNM stage compared to those diagnosed within the screening age band. We observed significantly higher relative frequency of advanced BC in the older age group compared to both the screening age population and women younger than 45 years (14.9% vs. 8.7% and 7.7%, P < 0.001). HR−/HER2− and HER+ tumours were relatively more frequent among women under age 45 years (HR−/HER2−: 23.6%, HER2+: 20.5%) compared to those within the screening age range (HR−/HER2−: 13.4%, HER2+: 13.9%) and the older age group (HR−/HER2−: 10.4%, HER2+: 11.5%). Conclusions The findings of our study shed light on potential areas for the improvement of BC screening programs (e.g., extending screening age group, adjusting screening frequency based on molecular subtype risk status) in Hungary and internationally, as well.
  • Mapping Hungarian procedure codes to SNOMED CT
    Ágota Mészáros, Sándor Kovács, Tibor Héja, Zsolt Bagyura, Antal Zemplényi
    BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2023
    Background Data harmonisation is essential in real-world data (RWD) research projects based on hospital information systems databases, as coding systems differ between countries. The Hungarian hospital information systems and the national claims database use internationally known diagnosis codes, but data on medical procedures are recorded using national codes. There is no simple or standard solution for mapping the national codes to a standard coding system. Our aim was to map the Hungarian procedure codes (OENO) to SNOMED CT as part of the European Health Data Evidence Network (EHDEN) project. Methods We recruited 25 professionals from different specialties to manually map the procedure codes used between 2011 and 2021. A mapping protocol and training material were developed, results were regularly revised, and the challenges of mapping were recorded. Approximately 7% of the codes were mapped by more people in different specialties for validation purposes. Results We mapped 4661 OENO codes to standard vocabularies, mostly SNOMED CT. We categorized the challenges into three main areas: semantic, matching, and methodological. Semantic refers to the occasionally unclear meaning of the OENO codes, matching to the different granularity and purpose of the OENO and SNOMED CT vocabularies. Lastly, methodological challenges were used to describe issues related to the design of the above-mentioned two vocabularies. Conclusions The challenges and solutions presented here may help other researchers to design their process to map their national codes to standard vocabularies in order to achieve greater consistency in mapping results. Moreover, we believe that our work will allow for better use of RWD collected in Hungary in international research collaborations.
  • Efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) adjunctive therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD) after two antidepressant treatment failures: meta-analysis of randomized sham-controlled trials

    BMC Psychiatry, 2023
    Background Several meta-analyses demonstrated the efficacy of unilateral High-Frequency Left-sided (HFL) repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD); however, results are contradictory due to heterogeneity of the included studies. Methods A systematic literature review (SLR) of English language articles published since 2000 was performed in March 2022 on PubMed and Scopus databases. Empirical evidence on the relative efficacy of rTMS treatment compared with standard pharmacotherapy in Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) were extracted. Random effects models were used to assess the effects of rTMS on response and remission rates. Results 19 randomized double-blinded sham-controlled studies were included for quantitative analysis for response (n = 854 patients) and 9 studies for remission (n = 551 patients). The risk ratio (RR) for response and remission are 2.25 and 2.78, respectively for patients after two treatment failures using rTMS as add-on treatment compared to standard pharmacotherapy. Cochrane’s Q test showed no significant heterogeneity. No publication bias was detected. Conclusions rTMS is significantly more effective than sham rTMS in TRD in response and remission outcomes and may be beneficial as an adjunctive treatment in patients with MDD after two treatment failures. This finding is consistent with previous meta-analyses; however, the effect size was smaller than in the formerly published literature.
  • Systematic literature review of the epidemiology of glycogen storage disease type 1a
    Tamás Zelei, Sándor Kovács, Patrick Finn, Dávid Nagy, Vanja Sikirica, Katherine B. Carlson, Zoltán Vokó
    Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2023
    Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type 1a is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic disease caused by a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphatase activity. The objectives of this research were to systematically review the published literature on the epidemiology of GSD 1a and to assess the performance of reported epidemiology measures in a simulation model. In this systematic literature review 2,539 record titles and abstracts were screened. Of these, only 11 studies contained relevant data on GSD 1a disease epidemiology. Reported disease frequency ranged from 0.085/100,000 to 10.3/100,000 newborns when considering all the GSD literature. When this was narrowed to GSD 1 and GSD 1a, the range was tightened to 0.25–3.02/100,000 and 0.085–4.9/100,000 newborns, respectively. Most of the identified studies counted the number of diagnoses in a defined period and related to the number of births in the same (Dx method) or different time period (DoB method). The simulation model results indicate that in most of the situations, the Dx method provides a closer estimate to the true disease incidence than the DoB method. Despite the scarcity of epidemiology data, the results of this systematic review strongly support that GSD 1a and its parent disease groups (GSD and GSD 1) are rare diseases.
