    We investigate the short- and long-term effects of hospitalization on different types of health care expenditures (HCE). A dynamic DID model with variation in treatment timing is specied and estimated using register data of individuals aged 50-70 residing in Milan, Italy, and observed over the period 2008-2017. We analyze on the entire population and carry out heterogeneous analysis by leading cause of hospitalization and presence of chronicity or disability. We find evidence of a large and persistent effect of hospitalization on total HCE, with future medical expenses mostly accounted for by inpatient care. Considering all health treatments, the overall effect is sizable, accounting for approximately twice the cost for any single hospital admission. We show that chronic and disabled individuals require greater post-discharge medical assistance especially for inpatient care and that cardiovascular and oncological diseases account together for more than half of expenditures on future hospitalizations. Alternative out-of-hospital management practices are discussed as a post-admission cost-containment measure.

    "Longitudinal studies support the proposition that the extent and severity of chronic conditions in middle and late ages are to a large extent the outcome of environmental insults at early ages, including in utero. Data from the Early Indicators program project undertaken at the Center for Population Economics suggest that the range of differences in exposure to disease has narrowed greatly over the course of the twentieth century, that age-specific prevalence rates of chronic diseases were much lower at the end of the twentieth century than they were at the beginning of the last century or during the last half of the nineteenth century, and that there has been a significant delay in the onset of chronic diseases over the course of the twentieth century. These trends appear to be related to changes in levels of environmental hazards and in body size. These findings have led investigators to posit a synergism between technological and physiological improvements. This synergism has contributed to reductions in inequality in real income, body size, and life expectancy during the twentieth century"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site

    Acknowledgements; The Editors; INTRODUCTION: NARRATIVE FRAMES; PART I: PUBLIC FRAMING OF PERSONAL NARRATIVES; PART II: REPRESENTING THE SUBJECT; PART III: THE LARGER PICTURE; NARRATIVE CONCLUSIONS: AN EXAMPLE OF CROSS-DISCIPLINARY ANALYSIS; References; Notes on Contributors; Index. This work illustrates how stories about ill health and suffering have been produced and received from a variety of perspectives. Bringing together the work of Canadian researchers, health professionals, and people with lived experiences of disease, disability, or trauma, it addresses central issues about authority in medical and personal narratives and the value of cross- or interdisciplinary research in understanding such experiences. The book considers the aesthetic dimensions of health-related stories with literary readings that look at how personal accounts of disease, disability, and trauma are crafted by writers and filmmakers into published works.; Topics range from psychiatric hospitalisation and aestheticising cancer, to father-daughter incest in film. The collection also deals with the therapeutic or transformative effect of stories with essays about men, sport, and spinal cord injury; narrative teaching at L'Arche (a faith-based network of communities inclusive of people with developmental disabilities); and the construction of a "schizophrenic" identity.; A final section examines the polemical functions of narrative, directing attention to the professional and political contexts within which stories are constructed and exchanged
