Lars Bernfort

Associate Professor, Docent

My research area is health economics with focus on health economic assessments. 

Presentation

My general research interest is health economic assessment. More specific interests include the measurement of the effects of health care in terms of quality-of-life, implementation of health care technologies, and register research. Participation in projects about, for example, screening for atrial fibrillation, implementation of treatment guidelines in heart failure, and value of perfect implementation. Teaching mainly comprises acting as tutor for student groups within medical educations.

Research projects

  • Register study on guideline implementation of quadrupel treatment in heart failure (SIQ-HF)
  • Value of perfect implementation of Vazkepa
  • Burden of disease of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
  • Cost-effectiveness of screening for atrial fibrillation
  • Cost-effectiveness of Vazkepa for lowering triglyceride levels
  • Cost-effectiveness of AI-assisted mammography
