Excess mortality and life expectancy of individuals with type 1 diabetes: a rapid review
KCE Reports 314 (2019) Under the insurance Law of 4 April 2014 a “monitoring office for insurance premiums’ was established. Its mission is to examine proposals for premium supplements or refusals by insurances that guarantee the repayment of the capital of a credit (Art. 217). Article 218 of this law provides that KCE conducts a study to assess whether the premiums charged by the insurers are in line with the evolution of medical techniques and health care, with regard to the main pathologies concerned.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of HPV vaccination of boys in Belgium
KCE Reports 308 (2019) The vaccine for the human papilloma virus (HPV) which causes cervical cancer was introduced about ten years ago in Belgium, but only girls benefit from it. However, it is now established that this same virus is also involved in other cancers, including throat cancer. The recommendations have thus been reviewed and here, as in most western countries, it is now recommended to vaccinate boys too.

Proton beam therapy in adults
KCE Reports 307 (2019) Proton therapy is a radiation therapy technique which allows large doses of radiation to be delivered to cancerous tumours without (excessively) “overflowing” to adjacent tissues. There has been much talk of this technique in recent years, since two projects by proton therapy centres are ongoing in Belgium, one in Louvain and the other in Charleroi.

Statins for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events
KCE Reports 306 (2019) A healthy lifestyle remains the most effective way of avoiding cardiovascular diseases and their consequences. Yet since 2002, the annual number of people who use cholesterol-lowering drugs from the statin family increased from 400,000 to 1,500,000. Currently, 25% of the population aged 40 and above take these drugs. Despite decreases in price due to the fact that all statins now exist in generic form, their total cost still stands at 160 million euros annually.

Quality indicators for the management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
KCE Reports 305 (2019) For several years, KCE has undertaken background work to improve the quality of care to patients with cancer, together with the Cancer Registry Foundation and College of Oncology. Over time, this project should lead to a true system of quality monitoring, including clinical recommendations, quality indicators and a hospital benchmarking and feedback dynamic. This year, efforts have concentrated on head and neck cancers.

Use of patient-reported outcome and experience measures in patient care and policy
KCE Reports 303 (2018) Satisfaction questionnaires are increasingly used everywhere and hospitals are not immune to this trend.
-
Payment methods for hospital stays with a large variability in the care process
KCE Reports 302 (2018) Hospital financial reform stipulates that hospital stays be divided into three “clusters” based on the variability of care, with each cluster benefiting from a different form of financing.

How to improve the Organisation of Mental healthcare for older adults in Belgium?
KCE Reports 301 (2018) Children and adults have their specific networks for mental healthcare but what about elderly people? Is it necessary to organise their care in a separate network or can it be integrated into the “adult” healthcare system? To this question we have responded that the chronological age should not be a decisive criterion, because some “elderly” people are in top shape, active and independent, while others are very fragile and dependent. Thus the current network of adult care needs to be broadened to include the population’s higher age groups.
