Medicijnfabrikanten moeten van Kuipers eerder met acceptabele prijs komen

Minister Ernst Kuipers (Volksgezondheid) vindt het "vervelend" dat het vorig jaar langer duurde om een akkoord te sluiten voor de prijs van dure medicijnen. Hij roept medicijnfabrikanten op eerder in de onderhandelingen een redelijke prijs te vragen.

Dank @HiekeHuistra in Trouw. Goed beeld van tweedeling waar het huidige (geen) beleid van de #MinisterKuipers @minvws en #Rivm toe leidt. @GinnyMooy #UitIsolatie
Is de #Rijksoverheid hier al aanwezig? Hier een familie/gezin met mensen die chronisch vit D te kort hebben. Bij tijd en wijle even een hoge dosis via de #huisarts is echt geen overbodige luxe.
Onderhouden doen we met pilletjes die we al jaren zelf betalen, geen probleem maar als kinderen om welke reden dan ook laag blijven dan moeten ze een stootkuur.
Want #VitamineD is heel belangrijk #MinisterKuipers

Vitamin D Deficiency Increases Mortality Risk in the UK Biobank: A Nonlinear Mendelian Randomization Study: Annals of Internal Medicine: Vol 175, No 11

Background: Low vitamin D status is associated with increased mortality, but randomized trials on severely deficient participants are lacking. Objective: To assess genetic evidence for the causal role of low vitamin D status in mortality. Design: Nonlinear Mendelian randomization analyses. Setting: UK Biobank, a large-scale, prospective cohort from England, Scotland, and Wales with participants recruited between March 2006 and July 2010. Participants: 307 601 unrelated UK Biobank participants of White European ancestry (aged 37 to 73 years at recruitment) with available measurements of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-(OH)D) and genetic data. Measurements: Genetically predicted 25-(OH)D was estimated using 35 confirmed variants of 25-(OH)D. All-cause and cause-specific mortality (cardiovascular disease [CVD], cancer, and respiratory) were recorded up to June 2020. Results: There were 18 700 deaths during the 14 years of follow-up. The association of genetically predicted 25-(OH)D with all-cause mortality was L-shaped (P for nonlinearity < 0.001), and risk for death decreased steeply with increasing concentrations until 50 nmol/L. Evidence for an association was also seen in analyses of mortality from cancer, CVD, and respiratory diseases (P ≤ 0.033 for all outcomes). Odds of all-cause mortality in the genetic analysis were estimated to increase by 25% (odds ratio, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.16 to 1.35]) for participants with a measured 25-(OH)D concentration of 25 nmol/L compared with 50 nmol/L. Limitations: Analyses were restricted to a White European population. A genetic approach is best suited to providing proof of principle on causality, whereas the strength of the association is approximate. Conclusion: Our study supports a causal relationship between vitamin D deficiency and mortality. Additional research needs to identify strategies that meet the National Academy of Medicine's guideline of greater than 50 nmol/L and that reduce the premature risk for death associated with low vitamin D levels.
