title: International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Conference.
abstract: In Orlando, the 14th International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Conference was held at Sea World, FL, USA. Despite the temptations of the environment, delegates from industry, academia and health policy convened, engaged in lively discussion and presented new and fascinating data on various topics. This year's theme was 'Healthcare reform revisited'. Researchers traveled from all over the world to present their research. A broad variation by region and topic could be seen, ranging from a cost analysis on hepatitis B vaccination in Iran and an analysis on Hoehn and Jahr staging of Parkinson's disease in Singapore, to the costing of infertility in Turkey and posaconazole cost-effectiveness in the treatment of invasive aspergillosis in Korea.
