Colorectal surgeons have been reported to have superior outcomes to general surgeons in the management of colon cancer, but it is unclear whether this leads to a difference in costs associated with ca...
This study aimed to investigate whether colorectal surgeons versus general surgeons performing elective colectomies for colon cancer resulted in cost savings....
A decision analysis model was built to evaluate the cost of care. One-way and Monte Carlo sensitivity analyses were performed to test the assumptions of the model....
Data for the model were taken from previously published studies....
This study included a simulated cohort of patients undergoing elective colectomy for colon cancer....
Total cost of care from the societal and health care system perspectives....
In the base case scenario, from the societal perspective, colectomy performed by a colorectal surgeon costs $38,798 during the 5-year window versus $46,571 when performed by a general surgeon (net sav...
The limitation of this study was reliance on published data, some of which included rectal cancer cases....
In our decision analysis model, elective colectomies for colon cancer had lower associated costs when performed by colorectal versus general surgeons. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B9...
ANTECEDENTES: Se ha informado que los cirujanos colorrectales obtienen mejores resultados que los cirujanos generales en el tratamiento del cáncer de colon, pero no está claro si esto conduce a una di...
Dorsal wrist ganglions are treated commonly with aspiration, or open or arthroscopic excision in operating room (OR) or procedure room (PR) settings. As it remains unclear which treatment strategy is ...
A microsimulation decision analytic model evaluating 5 treatment strategies for dorsal wrist ganglions was developed, ending in either resolution or a single failed open revision surgical excision. St...
The most cost-minimal strategy was 2 aspiration attempts before open surgical excision in the PR setting ($1,603 ± 1,595 per resolved case), followed by 2 aspirations before open excision in the OR ($...
From the societal perspective, performing 2 aspirations before surgical excision in the PR setting was the most cost-minimal treatment strategy, although in reference to surgeons who do not perform th...

To determine cost drivers of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) through evaluation of surgical costs and procedure length based on type of EK, use of preloaded grafts, and performance of simultaneous catar...
This study was an economic analysis of EKs at a single academic institution using time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) methodology....
Endothelial keratoplasty surgical cases, including Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), at the University of Michigan Ke...
Data and inputs were obtained via the electronic health record (EHR) and from prior literature. Simultaneous cataract surgeries were included and separately categorized for analysis. Endothelial kerat...
Main outcome measures included surgery length (in minutes) and day-of-surgery costs....
There were 559 EKs included: 355 DMEKs and 204 DSAEKs. Fewer DSAEKs had simultaneous cataract extraction (47; 23%) than DMEK (169; 48%). Of the DMEKs, 196 (55%) used preloaded corneal grafts. Descemet...
Cost analysis of TDABC identified a day-of-surgery cost and surgical time reduction associated with the use of preloaded grafts for DMEK, DMEK compared with DSAEK, and isolated EK compared with EK com...

The food system has a dynamic influence on disparities in food security and diet-related chronic disease. Community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, in which households receive weekly shares of p...
Using data from the Farm Fresh Foods for Healthy Kids (F3HK) randomized controlled trial in New York, North Carolina, Vermont, and Washington (n = 305; 2016-2018), we estimated programmatic and partic...
F3HK cost $2,439 per household annually ($1,884 in implementation-related expenses and $555 in participant-incurred costs). ICERs ranged from $1,507 to $2,439 per cup increase in caregiver's FV intake...
Given the known public health, healthcare, and economic consequences of insufficient FV intake and living in a food insecure household, the costs incurred to support these positive shifts in individua...

Postoperative ileus (POI) following surgery results in significant morbidity, drastically increasing hospital costs. As there are no specific Australian data, this study aimed to measure the cost of P...
A cost analysis was performed, for major elective colorectal surgical cases between 2018 and 2021 at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. POI was defined as not achieving GI-2, the validated composite measure...
Of the 415 patients included, 34.9% (n = 145) developed POI. POI was more prevalent in males, smokers, previous intra-abdominal surgery, and converted laparoscopic surgery (p < 0.05). POI was associat...
In Australia, POI is significantly associated with increased complications and higher costs due to prolonged hospital stay and increased healthcare resource utilisation. Efforts to reduce POI rates co...
Argentina currently uses a pentavalent vaccine containing diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whole cell), Haemophilus influenza type b and hepatitis B antigens, administered concomitantly with the inacti...
The study population was infants ≤ 1 year of age born in Argentina from 2015 to 2019. The analysis considered adverse events, programmatic, logistic, and vaccine costs of both schemes from the societa...
Although the cost of vaccines with the alternative scheme would be US$39.8 million (M) more than with the current scheme, these additional costs are in large part offset by fewer adverse event-associa...
The switch to an alternative scheme with the hexavalent vaccine in Argentina would result in marginally higher vaccine costs, which are mostly offset by the lower costs associated with improved logist...
A rare disease is that with a low prevalence in the population. However, it is estimated that there are between 6,000 and 8,000 different types of rare diseases in the world and, generally, they are i...
Quebec's healthcare system faces significant challenges due to labour shortage, particularly in long-term care facilities (CHSLDs). The aging population and increasing demand for services compound thi...
This study focuses on CHSLDs with fewer than 50 beds in remote regions of Quebec, where teleconsultation for nighttime nursing care was implemented. Time and cost data were collected from three CHSLDs...
Teleconsultation increased the cost per minute for nursing care compared to traditional care, attributed to additional tasks during remote consultations and potential technical challenges. However, co...
This study contributes both theoretically and practically by demonstrating the application of TDABC within the VBHC framework in CHSLDs. The findings support the cost savings from the use of teleconsu...
Background The LAAOS III (Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Study) clinical trial demonstrated that concomitant left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion leads to a lower risk of ischemic stroke or systemic...
There has been an increasingly prevalent message that data regarding costs must be included in conservation planning activities to make cost-efficient decisions. Despite the growing acceptance that so...
