Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies healthcare quality and medical economics using stroke care and health data.
AboutAbout the lab
Making the reality of healthcare visible through data.
The Medical Economics lab is part of the Advanced Public Health Division of the Center for Cohort Study, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University.
Using data on stroke care and the health, medical, and long-term care data held by local governments, the lab conducts research from the perspectives of healthcare quality and medical economics.
Using data such as the NDB, the lab makes healthcare visible and aims to return benefits through healthcare policy.
The center's website states that it has carried out large-scale cohort studies for more than half a century.

Using the Fukuoka Stroke Database study, the lab conducts research related to elucidating the pathophysiology of stroke. Another research theme is to use cohort studies to clarify the long-term course after onset, including disability.
*Illustrative imageVisualizing the Reality of Stroke Care
The lab studies acute stroke care, evaluating the quality of care, including functional prognosis, as well as its medical economics. This research makes the reality of clinical practice visible.
*Illustrative imageVisualizing Healthcare through Insurance Claims Data
Using NDB data, long-term care data, and other sources, the lab conducts research aimed at visualizing healthcare and returning benefits through healthcare policy.
*Illustrative imageLIFE Study Using Municipal Data
The lab is conducting the LIFE Study, which compiles health-related data held by local governments, including health, medical, long-term care, and administrative data, on a per-resident basis, and follows and evaluates the residents over the next 20 years. The study aims to produce results that contribute to extending healthy life expectancy and reducing health disparities.
