Cost minimization analysis for basic life support
Resuscitation, 2019The use of online teaching methodology for basic life support (BLS) courses is progressively increasing.The objective of this study was to verify whether the blended-learning methodology (virtual course with a short face-to-face complement) was more efficient than a course that followed the classical or face-to-face methodology in our university.A cost

2011 IEEE/PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2011
Presently, Independent System Operators (ISOs) in deregulated electricity markets in the U.S. use an auction method that minimizes the total bid cost when determining units to be on and their generation levels (Bid Cost Minimization or BCM). It has recently been shown that this method of auction does not provide minimal consumer payment costs for a ...

[Cost minimization analysis of flexible ENT-endoscopes].
Laryngo- rhino- otologie, 2021Reprocessing of complex instruments like flexible ENT-endoscopes with and without working channel are challanging for clinics and private practices. Aim of the study was to analyse the costs of an examination with a reusable endoscope-system and to compare it with two single-use endoscope-systems.A cost minimization analysis was performed at the ...

Cost minimization analysis of mainstay treatments in cutaneous lupus erythematous
Dermatologic Therapy, 2021Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) can be treated with multiple oral immunosuppressants but cost analyses of these treatments are lacking. We aimed to assess the relative cost difference between various oral medications for CLE using a cost-minimization analysis. Annual direct costs for 10 oral medications used in CLE were calculated including cost of

Robot-Assisted Versus Open Sacrocolpopexy: A Cost-Minimization Analysis
Journal of Urology, 2012Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is considered a standard of care operation for apical vaginal vault prolapse repair. Using outcomes at our center we evaluated whether the robotic approach to sacrocolpopexy is as cost-effective as the open approach.After obtaining institutional review board approval we performed cost-minimization analysis in a retrospective ...

Tympanic or Rectal Temperature Measurement? A Cost-minimization Analysis
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000In a cost-minimization study, we compared tympanic and rectal body temperature measurement in inpatients in a department of internal medicine. At all measurement volumes in a sensitivity analysis, tympanic temperature measurement had markedly lower average cost than rectal measurement, indicating a large savings potential if the former technique is ...

Cost Minimization Analysis Comparing Diagnostic Strategies in Unexplained Pancreatitis
Pancreas, 2009Both endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) are commonly performed in the evaluation of idiopathic pancreatitis. However, comparative trials of these modalities are lacking, and thus the ideal endoscopic diagnostic strategy to evaluate idiopathic pancreatitis remains unknown.A decision analysis model ...

Outpatient Cervical Ripening: A Cost-Minimization and Threshold Analysis
American Journal of Perinatology, 2019Objective To evaluate cost of outpatient (OP) versus inpatient (IP) ripening with transcervical balloons, and determine circumstances in which each strategy would be cost saving. Study Design We created a decision model comparing OP and IP balloon ripening in term (≥37 weeks) singleton pregnancies with unfavorable cervix.
