Eliminating hepatitis B in remote Indigenous settings: generating health economic evidence (2022 - 2025)$750,738

Description: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is endemic across Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory (NT), with prevalence between 2-5%. Of this group, up to 25% will die from decompensated cirrhosis or liver cancer without care and treatment. In turn, liver disease is the third leading factor contributing to the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.In 2017 the NHMRC funded the Hep B PAST Partnership Project (GNT1151837), which aims to eliminate CHB from NT Indigenous Australians. This is being achieved through two mechanisms: improvement of CHB health literacy amongst participating Indigenous communities and healthcare providers; and transition of CHB care to a primary healthcare based, co-ordinated chronic disease model supported by the establishment of a CHB clinical register.The preliminary results of the Hep B PAST Project have demonstrated a highly effective model of care to increase rates of CHB diagnosis, treatment and community education. The Hep B PAST Project will be completed in mid-2023. To successfully eliminate hepatitis B, it is now critically important to transition this care model Territory-wide. Health economic evidence is now required by government to support this. We have developed five studies to generate this evidence:1: Quantify costs of the Hep B PAST model of care and the status quo approach to CHB care;2: Quantify quality of life/health state utility values for hepatitis B health states;3. Develop and validate a health economic disease simulation model for hepatitis B forIndigenous communities;4: Project clinical outcomes of the Hep B PAST model of care and the status quo up to 2035;5: Assess the cost-effectiveness of introducing the Hep B PAST model of care as standardpractice across the NT.We will develop the first Indigenous-specific health economic model that will be made available to support rapid, robust evaluations to introduce Hep B PAST into other states/territories.

The Southern Tasmania Health Literacy and Foot Ulcer Risk Factors in Diabetes Mellitus Study (SHELLED Study) (2016 - 2017)$40,194

Description: The associations between health literacy (HL), foot ulcer risk factors and ulcer development is a novel area yet to be explored. This project will be the first to examine relationships between HL and quantified foot ulcer risk factors in a cross sectional study, as well as the first longitudinal study investigating the effect of HL as an independent risk factor on foot ulcer development. The outcomes will be of significant clinical relevance, equipping clinicians to improve communication skills in the prevention of foot ulceration.

Clinical and metabolic factors and imaging abnormalities in chronic plantar heel pain (2015)$15,000

Description: This is a case-control pilot study of 60 participants (30 cases with a clinical diagnosis of CPHP, and 30 age and gender-matched population controls). The primary aims of this study are, in a case-control comparison, to determine which of the following factors are associated with CPHP: a) imaging abnormalities on ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) & high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRp-QCT); b) clinical factors; c) blood levels of inflammatory biomarkers and cytokines; d) blood lipid levels, fasting glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C); e) psychological factors. The project is creative and systematic and will create new knowledge regarding predictors of outcome for subjects with chronic plantar heel pain.
